Managing Time with the Pomodoro Technique
In work, as well as in life, doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals can be difficult. (67) __________ Luckily, one of the most efficient and most popular time management techniques is also one of the world’s simplest — the Pomodoro Technique.
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. (68) ________ Each block is known as a pomodoro, the Italian word for “tomato.” Cirillo named the system after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that he ud to track his work time when he was studying as a university student. He developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time instead of struggling against it.
In 2006, Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free of charge. The Pomodoro technique can be applied in almost all parts of our life. It was built around a handful of important steps. First, choo a task that you’d like to get done. (69) _________ What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.
Next, t a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete attention on the task. Then, when the timer goes off, take a five-minute break. Sit back, have a drink, go for a short w
alk, or do something el that is not work-related. Once you have completed four of the
30-minute cycles, treat yourlf to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30 minutes. (70) ___________ modoro Technique, you may want to experiment a little. Some people have found that 90-minute blocks work best, while others might perform better with more flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember, like many things in life, simpler is often better!

How to Make a Good Cup of Tea
In his essay, A Nice Cup of Tea, George Orwell laid out 11 basic principles to make a good cup of tea, from warming the pot beforehand to stirring the leaves before pouring. He insisted that “the water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while on e pours”.
____67____ “Some people add that one should only u water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference,” he went on to state.

However, on that point at least, it ems he was wrong. William Go rman, one of Britain’s leading tea experts, has now put forward that the water ud for making a cup of tea should never be boiled more than once. “Usually when people’s tea goes cold they reboil the kettle and make another
cup. ____68____ You need freshly drawn water for a good cup becau reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.”
Besides, Mr. Gorman advocates another practice of making tea, one that Orwell would surely have protested. Mr. Gorman said, “____69____ When you microwave tea, all you’re doing is just moving t
he molecules around and getting it back up to a decent temperature. It is not impacting the flavor at all.”
____70____ In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout, to catch the stray leaves, which are suppod to be harmful. Actually one can swallow tea-leaves in considerable quantities without ill effect, and if the tea is not loo in the pot, it never infus properly. They agree by doing this, you actually risk losing a good cup of tea.

The Most Important Video Game Ever Made
死性不改歌词
宿新市徐公店诗意Time Magazine recently tasked its editorial staff with ranking
the 50 greatest video games of all time. The number one spot was
taken not by Super Mario, Zelda, or any other worthwhile
competitors, but by the oldest and most basic game, Tetris.
_________67_________ It lives on in tablets, laptops, smartphones, and game consoles (操纵板).

Why is Tetris the game we can’t stop playing? Before Tetris, video games were distractions for teens, personified by Super Mario Bros. Tetris was different. It didn’t rely on the imitation of any cartoon characters. _________68_________ The game was purely abstract, geometry (几何图案) in real time. It wasn’t just a game. It was an uncrackable code puzzle that anyone cou ld play. Your parents played Tetris, your friends played Tetris, and you’ll encounter the same story in nearly every country on Earth.
_________69_________ It has been included in the Applied Design collection at the Muum of Modern Art in New York. It has been adapted as interactive public art projected onto the sides of buildings. And it is the subject of an annual World Championship competition.
There are plenty of fascinating classic games. Why do we keep coming back to Tetris year after year? Scientists have discovered that Tetris has a unique effect on the human brain, making it the perfect tool for scientific rearch. _________70_________ It is a term ud in both medical and popular literature. It describes the result of repetitive, pattern-bad activity that eventually shapes the thoughts and imagination of an individual. This unique effect has been ud in studies at Oxford University to treat stress disorder.
That’s pretty impressive for a few lines of code written by a lone computer scientist at the Russian Academy of Science in 1984. I have no doubt the first game many of us will download on the new phone will be the latest version of the most important game in history, Tetris.

A.Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.
B.They become one of the fastest growing groups for airline business.
C.The ri of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.
不懂装懂
D.Health worns with age, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.
E.Many companies treat older workers unfairly by offering training only to younger ones.
F.Boss may think productivity falls with age, but studies in Germany suggest things different.
Yold
The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”, as th e Japane call people aged between 65 and 75. By continuing to work and staying socially engaged, the boomers, in their new appearance as the young old, will change the world.
The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of niors.
67 Of the 3.7 years of incread life expectancy in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive (认知的) decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.
The yold are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired in many aspects. They won’t wear indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. 68 They also spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than younger adults, so they are vital to the tourism industry. And, becau of the importance of pensions, the yold are transforming insurance companies from passive distributors of fixed annuities(年金) to financial rvice providers for customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.
69 They find that older workers have, if anything, slightly above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all. Societies should be better off becau public spending on health and pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.
Today, some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themlves. The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that
60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. 70 The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and, in the process, help change attitudes towards aging itlf. Section C
