Best Overall: LectrFan EVO Sund Machine
Why Yu Shuld Get It
This cmpact, stylish, and affrdable white nise machine is very easy t use. With a timer, a headphne cnnectr, and a large range f sunds, yu’ll be able t find the right set up fr yu. That’s where it cmes in t mask all that unwanted envirnmental nise—r lack f—s yu can get mre rest.
Keep in Mind
The device isn’t battery-perated, s it’ll need t stay plugged int a pwer surce.
It des everything yu need it t, and then sme, fr a very reasnable price. It plays nn-repeating digital nise in a range f clrs: It has 10 fan sunds, 10 envirnmental nise sunds—including pink and brwn nise, and tw cean sundscapes.
The device is super simple t use, and nce yu’ve picked yur favrite type f nise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will aut play that sund each time yu turn it n. The speaker prduces a clear and crisp sund, and there’s a wide vlume range. It als cmes with an ptinal timer yu can set between ne t eight hurs, r play cntinuusly, plus a 3.5mm cnnectr fr headphnes if yur partner isn’t quite as keen n white nise as yu are.
It’s cmpact enugh t travel everywhere with yu, and as white nise machines g, it lks pretty gd, t. It certainly wn’t lk ut f place n yur bedside table. Yu can pwer the LectrFan EVO via USB r the included A/C adaptr, but it desn’t have an internal battery, s it des need t be plugged in.
Price at time f publish: $35

Fr as lng as I can remember, my bdy and I have shared a relatinship f discntent. Grwing up, I was skinnier than the ther kids and at five I was tld I wasn’t attractive and that I must put n sme weight. But n matter hw much I ate, I stayed thin fr years until adlescence. Then I started putting n weight almst immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began t fill ut. Hwever, my jy didn’t last lng.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbrs wuld make jkes n my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had cmpletely lst cnfidence in my bdy and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed t live up t cnventinal beauty standards, I was cnvinced that if I wanted t be lved, I needed t ffer mre, ding anything t please everyne arund.
I entered adulthd thinking I wasn’t “enugh” — an idea that was seeded nt nly by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but als by the language assciated with accunts f lsing weight — self-imprvement, discipline — all virtues. Being fat quickly categrizes yu as lazy and undisciplined. Cnsumed by thughts f the way my bdy lked, I didn't ntice the ther ways my bdy needed attentin. I failed t realize, fr example, that my perid was much heavier and mre painful than ever befre. Actually I develped a rare disease and later I had tw surgeries.
I was always made t feel that my weight was the rt f a lt f prblems in my life; I have learnt this is nt true. After a lt f self-reflectin and sme prfessinal help, I realized I never learnt t like myself. While tw decades f self-hatred cannt be undne vernight, I have taken first steps t acceptance.
I am nw much lighter than befre, in bdy and mind. There are days I find vices n scial media saying I am t fat t be lved r t be wrthy, but I am learning nt t fcus n that thught fr lng. As lng as I like myself, just the way I am, pinins at the end f the day are just water ff
a duck’s back.
What can we learn abut the authr frm the first tw paragraphs?
She culd change her weight at will.
She had different beauty standards frm thers.
She was greatly influenced by thers’ pinins.
She tried t lve thers t build her cnfidence.
Why did the authr think she wasn't “enugh”？
She was labeled as lazy fr her weight.
She put n mre weight after entering adulthd.
She failed t celebrate “skinny”.
She was prly disciplined.
What caused the authr t make a change?
Her lighter bdy.B．Ppular beauty standards. C．Others’ critical cmments.D．A trublesme illness.
What des the passage mainly tell us?
Beauty matters.B．Wrth yur weight.
C．Opinins vary.D．Beynd yur limits.

Yu might have heard smene say that a sng changed their life. And maybe yu used t hate tmates, but nw yu like it. N ne dubts that we change as we grw lder. But d we change in majr ways? Can we really change wh we are? Peple used t believe we stay pretty much the same thrughut ur lives, but researchers are increasingly finding that we can and d change in big ways.
Psychlgists have identified five dimensins that help us understand smene’s persnality, which are called the “Big Five.” They are: 1. Openness: Hw pen are yu t trying new things? 2.Cnscientiusness ( 尽责性): Hw respnsible are yu? 3. Extrversin ( 外向): Hw friendly, utging,and enthusiastic are yu? 4. Agreeableness: Hw caring, trusting, and generus are yu? 5. Emtinal stability: Hw calm are yu, especially when prblems arise? Everyne has different levels f the big five dimensins. Fr example, Harry Ptter has high levels f penness t experience, while Hermine Granger wuld scre high in cnscientiusness.
Scientists used t think that each persn’s “Big Five” stayed the same their whle life, but newer research suggests that the dimensins d change. Peple wh tk a persnality test as teenagers scred very differently when they tk the same test 50 years later. Three dimensins usually changed mre than the thers, which are emtinal stability, cnscientiusness, and agreeableness. In fact, mst adults were mre emtinally stable, mre cnscientius, and mre agreeable than when they were yunger. Researchers cnsidered this a sign that we mature ver time, perhaps learning t get alng better with thers.
Even thugh peple change ver time, the relatinship between dimensins ften remains similar. Fr example, smene wh was very pen t new experiences but wh was nt agreeable as a teenager was likely still mre pen t new things than agreeable as an adult. Scres changed, and
smetimes changed a lt, but they didn’t change randmly.
Why des the authr mentin Harry Ptter and Hermine Granger in Paragraph 2?
T illustrate varius degrees f persnality dimensins.
T stress the value f penness and respnsibility.
T analyze sme main characters in ppular fictin.
T identify the impact f the big five dimensins.
Which f the fllwing is the mst likely result f peple’s aging?
Becming mre ht-tempered.B. Becming less generus.
C. Becming less respnsible.D. Becming mre cnsiderate.
What des the last paragraph suggest abut ne’s persnality dimensins?
Persnality dimensins change accidentally.
One is likely t be mre pen than agreeable.
Changes in persnality dimensins fllw sme pattern.
Relatinship between dimensins stays unchanged.
Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
The Effects f ChangingB. D Peple Really Change?
C. What Are the “Big Five”?D. Persnality Dimensins Matter
D
Fr the first time, United Natins members have agreed n a unified treaty( 协议) t prtect bidiversity n the high seas, representing a turning pint fr vast stretches f the planet where cnservatin has previusly been held back by a cnfusing patchwrk(拼凑) f laws.
The UN Cnventin n the Law f the Sea came int frce in 1994, befre marine bidiversity was a well-established cncept. An updated framewrk t prtect marine life in the regins utside natinal bundary waters, knwn as the high seas, had been in discussins fr mre than 20 years, but previus effrts t reach an agreement had repeatedly failed. The unified treaty, which applies t nearly half the planet’s surface, was reached late n Saturday.
UN Secretary-General Antni Guterres welcmes the finalizatin f the text f the United Natins Ocean Treaty, his spkesman said n Saturday. "This breakthrugh, which cvers nearly tw-thirds f the cean, marks the culminatin f nearly tw decades f wrk and builds n the legacy(遗产) f the United Natins Cnventin n the Law f the Sea," a statement said.
Nichla Clark, an cean expert at the Pew Charitable Trusts called the lng-awaited treaty text "a nce-in-a-generatin pprtunity t prtect the ceans — a majr win fr bidiversity". The treaty will create a new bdy t manage the cnservatin f cean life and establish marine-prtected areas n the high seas. Clark said that’s critical t achieving the UN Bidiversity Cnference’s recent prmise t prtect 30 percent f the planet’s waters, fr cnservatin. The treaty als establishes grund rules fr cnducting envirnmental impact assessments fr cmmercial activities in the ceans.
Treaty negtiatins were initially anticipated t cnclude n Friday, but stretched thrugh the night
int Saturday. The making f the treaty represents "a histric and verwhelming success fr internatinal
marine prtectin," said Steffi Lemke, Germany’s envirnment minister.
What can we learn abut the UN Cnventin n the Law f the Sea?
It is a cmplete failure.B. It leads t a lt f cntrversy.
C. It has been discussed fr ver 20 years.D. It is the basis f the UN Ocean Treaty.
Which f the fllwing culd replace the underlined wrd “culminatin” in Paragraph 3?
A. BreakB. EndC. ImpactD. Beginning
What can be inferred frm Paragraph 4?
Prtected areas n the high seas will be expanded.
Preservatin f 30% f the planet will be ensured.
Cmmercial cean activities will be mnitred.
An existing department will manage the cnservatin.
Why is the making f the UN cean treaty recgnized as a histric success?
Unity in prtecting the high seas is achieved.
The high seas are stressed fr the first time.
It takes tugh and lng negtiatins.
The cncept f marine bidiversity is established.

Brainstrming really can play a rle in yur studies. It can help pen up yur imaginatin.
36 Yu can brainstrm alne r in a grup; either way can help increase the number f ideas yu cme up with.

38 Yu can start with yur prblem in the center within a circle. Use a line t cnnect the main idea with anther idea. Grup similar ideas tgether with lines. Start new branches fr new ideas. This technique is als gd fr making cnnectins, especially since yu can represent it visually.
Individual brainstrming is the mst effective when yu need t slve a simple prblem, generate a list f ideas, r fcus n a brad issue. 39 In a grup, be sure t brainstrm befre yu get tgether s yu have sme time t think. Be sure t avid criticizing r rewarding ideas, as that can stp peple frm bringing up ideas and limit creativity. The leader can thrw ut a tpic r prblem, and then the grup can bunce ideas ff each ther. Will the ideas be gd r nt t gd? 40 The deeper analysis yu have made, the higher it shuld be t fix the prblem t yur benefit.
Ask yurself what really matters, then mve yur daily activities in that directin.
Grup brainstrming is ften mre effective fr slving cmplex prblems.

Anther way t brainstrm is t make a cncept tree.
Taking ntes is very necessary.
Yu can see different slutins.
Analyzing is an imprtant step.

I remember the day as clear as glass. I was in 6th grade and my teacher had just annunced it was a class break, a time we were allwed t eat snacks and mve arund the classrm. But n that day, I reached a breaking pint.
My friend sat acrss frm me. Tw classmates wh were attentin seekers were making fun f him again. They did smething mean t him every day: stealing his schl supplies, calling his sister ugly, r laughing at his big head. On this day, they were singing a sng abut him, "Chicken, chicken Jsh." They sang endlessly and cruelly. Thse wrds were like a bite f ht pepper t my friend, wh turned red with anger and embarrassment, while tears f frustratin drpped frm his eyes. I culd see hw hpeless he felt.
Nrmally, I wuld just sit and watch it all. I was very shy. I rarely spke during breaks r raised my hand in class. I was s shy, in fact, that my teacher made me a chart t tick every time I raised my hand. She said I'd receive a prize if I filled it up. But I never did. It didn't help with my shyness; it just made me mre self-cnscius. But n this particular day, I tk a stand. I'd had enugh. I std up and shuted, "Leave him alne!" Silence brke ut, all eyes in the rm fell n me. But the silence was shrt-lived as everyne went back t enjying their break. Fr the rest f the day, every time the bullies wuld laugh at my friend during class, I wuld scream, "Stp trubling him," r, "It wuldn't hurt t be nice."
But these wrds didn't help. In fact, it made the situatin wrse: I t became a victim. Frm that afternn n, the tw bullies began t make up sngs abut me. They chanted, prnuncing my name in a different dialect t shw I was different frm them. This mcking and disrespect upset me a lt. I felt helpless.
