recent tell popular interest think value good like complain something |
In 1876, Mark Twain published The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The book is fun to read. Even today, it is quite 【1】 among children. And although I am in my thirties, the novel remains one of my favorites. After rereading the book 【2】, I learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. Let’s be honest: What’s on your mind when your mom 【3】 you to sweep the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain? I think most of us have.
Tom Sawyer, however, 【4】 “differently" when he was given a boring task.
One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence. Tom’s friend Ben happened to walk past. Instead of 【5】 , Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this,” Tom said. “I enjoy it very much!”
Tom’s words made Ben 【6】 in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about 【7】 but complaining, he would have spent a bad day painting the fence.
Tom thought differently in order to trick others into working for him. Yet this story teaches me a 【8】 lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. 【9】 what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel 【10】 and perhaps even do a better job!

22、Maybe you should sit down before you read this. It’s a little frightening. Your sitting maybe killing you.
Health experts say the US adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day. That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007. The news is even worse for teens. They sit eight hours each day. The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics. It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years. It is worried about what it has found.
Research shows that people who are not active can get sick. Their bones get weaker. They burn fewer calories (卡路里). That makes them more likely to put on too much weight. They might even get diabetes (糖尿病). They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems, too.
Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness. Being active helps in lots of ways. It can make you happier, burn more calories and give you more energy. It can also help you sleep better.
About 60% of people in the US watch at least two hours of TV each day. That number has stayed about the same in recent years.
Computers are the biggest reason for more hours spent sitting. Computer use outside of work or school has gone up for all age groups. Now, 50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day. That is up from 29% in 2003.
About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on computers. So do 56% of kids. As many as 1 in 4 people who use computers use three hours or more outside of work and school.
So get up, take some breaks and go outside. You might save your life by doing outdoor activities.
