Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
1. Don’t think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. 1. However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.
2. 2.
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 3.
3. Be kind to others.
4. Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的) , and your positive attitude may spread among others.
4. Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 5. Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A.Eat healthily and stay fit.
B.Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.Don’t worry about what the future may bring.
D.Gratitude helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
F.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.
Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields (产量) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.
Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell.
In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.
“As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”
For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields.
“You don’t want crop plants to stop growing,” Howell said. “You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”
With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. “What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”
1.According to the text, what causes an alarm in the plant cells?
A. The folded proteins. B. The changed proteins.
C. The defensive measures. D. The stress response genes.
2.What does the energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions do?
A. It helps the plants to survive. B. It helps to maintain high yields.
C. It keeps the plants growing. D. It helps to produce proteins.
3.Which word is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5?
A. Prevent. B. Start.
C. Continue. D. Promote.
4.How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?
A. By making crop plants keep more energy.
B. By making crop plants stop growing.
C. By making the alarm system stop working.
D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.
