　　A new study has cast doubt onhistoric researchsuggesting that the season or month of someones birth isassociated with an increased risk of certain mental healthconditions. The study looks at symptoms of anxiety anddepression among more than 70,000 older adults inEurope. A number of past studies have found the linkbetween season of birth and mental health diagnoses.

　　Researchers have suggested that such links could arisefromvarious things. These include nutrient intake, sunexposure,climate, and disease exposure varying across thecourse of the year. However, evidence has been mixed.More recent studies have suggested that factors such associal class or economic background have more to do withthese diagnoses than month of birth.

　　Overall, the new study found no significant relationshipbetween participants month of birth and symptoms ofdepression or anxiety. There was some variability in somecountries.In Poland,depressive symptoms fluctuated alittle depending on birth month. In the Czech Republic, thesame was true of anxiety symptoms.

　　Supporters call it wild camping.Opponents callitillegal campingWhat both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the pastfew months, with increasing numbers ofvisitors pitching theirtents on any bit of land they fancy in the Uk.in part, this reflectsthe fact that officialcampsites have been wholly or partiallyclosed,or are overflowing, in a summer when fewer people aregoing abroad.

　　It is also cheap, at a time when many are worried about what theeconomic future holds, But it may also be an expression of adesire for going outdoors. A response to the months oflockdownMost of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has beennegative.Campingin public parks has now been banned forAugust and the early part of September because campers dumplitter, human waste, and even their tents on the grassland.

　　Similar action has been taken even in Scotland, where camping isusually permitted on most of its open land. Clearly, there have tobe rules. lt would make sense that wild campers need to ask forpermission to campfromlandowners, especially outside Scotlandwhere the law is far more restrictive.lt wouldbe common sensefor people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit.

　　It can measure up to 2 meters long and weigh around 204kilograms. Size isnt the only thing that sets the Amazon RiverDolphin apart, Thriving in South American rivers and temporarylakes caused by seasonal flooding, this freshwater dolphin issometimes shockingly pink. Although born gray, males of thespecies are easily identified as they enter adulthood by a decisivepink shade.

　　Their unusual coloringis believed to be the result of scar tissuefromdolphin fights, whether play fighting or a serious bid for amate. The deeper the pink, the more attractive the males arebelieved to be, and the older the male, the more pink he will have.Theres also a theory that this color helps the dolphins more readilyblendin with their surroundings.

　　During heavy rains, rivers along the Amazon rainforest turn a pinkshade, and with Male dolphins are harder to detect. The Amazonwetland system, fed by the Amazon River, is a crucial place for pinkdolphins to breed.And, since2018, has been grantedinternationallyprotected status.

　　In a new Merrill Lynch Age Wave survey, a full 70 percent of the earlyadults said theyve received financial supportfromtheir parents inthe past year, and 58 percent said they couldnt afford their currentlifestyles without it. Themost common types of financial supportinclude cell phone plans, food, school costs and car expenses.

　　Parental financial support of early adults, said Ken Dichtwald, CEO ofAge Wave, is the new normal. But 64 percent of the young adultssurveyed said parents financial support to children aged 25-34 is abad thing, because it makes those kids dependent. By contrast, only29 percent thought supporting men and women aged 18-24 is bad.

　　The remaining 7l percent thought that assistance helps the adultchildren get ahead. Dick Fould believes the young women and mensurveyed were saying that by 25,young adults ought to be financiallyindependent.In fact, the respondents said financial independencedefines adulthood. Financial independence is something they werestruggling with and challenged by.

　　And it scared them a bit, Dichtwald said. One big reason theyrestruggling is attributed to college loans, of which the averageamounts to $37,000. Many of the parents have taken on college loansfor the kids too, sometimes at the expense of their own finances. Inthe survey, 60 percent of early adults define financial success asbeing debt-free. Whether thats likely,or even possible, anytimesoon, is anyones guess.

　　M: Whats the best way to teach children how to save and spendtheir money?

　　W: You should make money a regular topic of discussion, Its best to start young, so its instinctive rather thana scary subject,

　　M: In our family, we talk openly about things like the budget for holidays, how taxes reduce yourincome, andhow to shop around for the best deals.

　　W: Indeed. Its also essential to make money real for children through practical examples. Working out howmuch we save using discount pizza coupons, for example, is much more relevant than abstract sums.

　　M: We also give our kids pocket money, and the amount they get is linked to chores, such as putting the binsout and emptying the dishwasher.

　　W: We do that too, and its paid according to their age. Two pounds for each year, so they can see someprogression.

　　M: Teaching them to save is important, We opened a savings account when they were young. After birthdaysand Christmas, they would go to the branch and deposit their gift money.

　　W: oh, I hadnt considered doing that.

　　In our house, we have transparent money boxes for them to put small change in, so they can see their savingsgrow.

　　M: When the time is right, ill start talking to our children about investing and show them how the moneysaved for theirfurther education has grown.

　　W: I am always talking to my elder daughter about the importance of saving into a pension.Shes just started a part time job and was thinking of not contributing to her pension. Luckily, I managed topersuade her otherwise.

　　M: Yes, its such an important lesson to learn.

　　Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　W: Welcome to Books in Review. Our guest today is John Banks, the author of the best selling new bookRewarding Success.

　　M: Glad to be here, Jane.

　　W: Your book has sold 2 million copies, but before we discuss why its getting so much attention, lets talkabout your background. Youre an economist and spent two decades teaching at universities?

　　M: I spent 25 years as a professor, actually, And then, for the last 10 years, ive worked as a politicalconsultant, advising politicians at the national level about problems in our country.

　　W: You discuss three of those problems in the book, improvingpublic education, reducing our nations healthcare burden, and increasing personal savings, But your ideasabout education are the most controversial.

　　M: Absolutely. A lot of people think Im trying to punish students who arent doing wel, when actually my goalis to give all students more incentive to succeed.

　　W: Im not sure I agree with you. Your proposal to pay cash rewards to students who get good grades is aparticular problem, What about students who dont get good grades? it seems like youre blaming them for notsucceeding, when poor performance in school isnt a childs fault.

　　M: But My proposal is not just to reward students with good grades, but also students who showimprovement.

　　W: Okay, another criticism of the plan is the cash rewards themselves, Where wil themoney comefrom?

　　M: If students do better, wel spendless on schooling, So, in theend, the rewards will pay for themselves

　　W: What about now? How will we fund the rewards in the meantime?

　　met three different people today, and each time, whenl askedhow are you, the reply was exactly the same.lm busy. Honestly,hear the same answerfromthe vast majority of people l meet.So l started to think, guess what? Everybodys busy.im busy.Youre busy. Everybodys busy. So you being busy doesnt makeme sympathetic at all, because busy is the state of the world.

　　Solm launching a campaign to stoppeople complaining aboutbeing busy.lt may sound harsh, but the truth is, nobody cares. Ina busy world, being busy doesnt stand out, nor does it meanproductive,creative,accomplished, or professional. SteveMaraboli once said,When someone tells you they are too busy,its not a reflection of theirschedule, its a reflection of your spoton theirschedule.

　　Donna Lynn Hope has also remarked, Busy doesnt mean better.I have never envied a busy person. The one who likes to point outtheir busy lives to others. The reality is, nobodys too busy. ltsjust about priorities. So the next time someone asks you how youare, maybe respond differently.In my experience, the lm busyresponse is really covering up the fact that theyre notactuallyaccomplishing their real purpose, and being busy is the lie theytell themselves about why they cant achieve it.

　　Q16: Why is the speaker launching a campaign?

　　Q18: Why do many people make the lm busy response,according to the speaker?

　　After all, if you can jump out of a plane or off a bridge, thenyou can face anything else easily.When doing extremesports, you have tobecome more focused. Youll be pushedto your limits, and if you arent focused, youll makedangerous mistakes. Learning to be this focused whenenjoying extreme sports will help you to be focused at work,keeping you more productive and ultimately moresuccessful

　　Its great to stay fit and healthy, but standard exerciseroutines and sports only work the same muscles repeatedlyWith extreme sports, youll be working entirely differentmuscles.And that means you get an all over workout.Extreme sports also burn a lot more calories than othersports.Skateboarding, for example, can burn as many as 500calories per hour.Basketball burns around 300 in the sametime.

　　When you find that you canovercome the physical or mentachallenges involved in extreme sports, youll feelsuperhuman and your self confidence will be at an all timehigh.

　　Q19: What may sound strange to say about extreme sports?

　　Q20: Why should one be highly focused when doing extremesports?

　　Q21:How can extreme sports benefit us more than standardexercise routines and sports?

　　Passage3(第二套)Most of us have been in teamsor organizations where weve hadconflict with the people that were working with around the ideasor decisions that were discussing. Conflict is natural. We all bringdifferent life and work experiences to the table. We all havedifferent personality preferences and tendencies.

　　Were not all going to have the same ideas on how to approachpolicies, programs, or problems. But too often, we get caught inthis place where conflict is perceived to be negative. Something wewant to avoid, so that we can maintain the harmony of ourworkplace.This could be because some people want to avoidconflict at all costs.

　　After all, they still have to work together. But this kind of artificialharmonyisnt the answer. Productive conflict is a vital part ofteamsand organizations that want to push forward and do more.Without conflict, were often stuck in this artificial harmony wherepeople dont express potentiallyinnovative ideas for fear that theymay start conflict with others.

　　But if youre in a place where you have a basis of trust, conflict canbe extremely productive. lt can lead to increased innovation andgreater trust on teams.lt may be anuncomfortable process, butgood leaders and healthy teams recognize that productive andhealthy conflict is an important part of how they function.

　　Q22: What does the passage say about conflictin organizations?

　　Q23: Why do some people want to avoid conflict at all costs?
