But when nighttime comes, it may be more difficult to turn off work and get a good night’s sleep.(Q1) This can be especially difficult in a studio apartment. In a studio apartment, the living room, kitchen and sleeping area are all in one room. These kinds of apartments are common in large cities with a high cost of living.With electronics, kitchen items, clothes and books all in one space, it can be hard to create a restful place for sleep.(Q2) Kim Cook, a reporter for the Associated Press, asked sleep experts and interior design experts for advice on how to work productively and sleep well in a small one-room area.Be honest about how you liveEveryone needs good sleep to stay healthy.“The primary rule, maybe the only rule of small space design, is people have to be honest about how they really live,” says Olivia Hosken. She is deputy managing editor of House Beautiful.She adds that when you have limited space, you need furniture that works well in the room.A good bed is important for good sleepShe suggests spending money on a high-quality bed. Even better is a high-quality sleep sofa that can double as a bed and couch. She does not suggest big tables or chairs that you may not use.Andrea Morris is an interior designer with Lancaster Place Interiors in Wilmington, North Carolina. (Q3) For studio apartments, she likes wall beds. These can be folded up next to a wall when not in use. They are better known as Murphy beds, named after William Murphy. He came up with this idea in 1900 while living in his own studio apartment in San Francisco, California.Create a sleep areaTo separate your sleep area from the rest of the apartment, you can purchase a freestanding screen or room divider. And as much as you can, keep your sleep area strictly for sleeping, experts say.Jeff Kahn is co-founder of the Chicago-based sleep-research company Rise Science. His company developed a sleep-tracking app called Rise. (Q4) His suggestion is to “avoid doing work or anything stressful from your bed.” He said that this helps the brain connect your bed with only sleep rather than wakefulness and work.However, that is not always possible. If you use your bed during the daytime, you can do small things to keep your daytime tasks and sleep separate. Lisa Strauss is a psychologist and expert in sleep disorders. She suggests using one side of the bed for reading and the other for sleeping. You can also bring out special blankets and pillows used only for sleeping. Freshen the air. Lower the lights. Cut the noise.Kahn also suggests keeping a clean, peaceful environment. For starters, he says to make sure the air flow is good.(Q5) “Make sure your space is well ventilated, and consider an air purifier,” says Kahn. He adds that this is especially important if you cook and sleep in the same place.ventilated adj. 通风的Another interior expert is Mia Ingui. She is editor at Spruce, a home design website. She suggests using calming smells like lavender or chamomile at bedtime, to “set the tone for restful sleep.”lavender n. 薰衣草chamomile n. 洋甘菊Also, be sure that computer, TV, and other electronic screens are turned off. In a small room, these devices are probably a short distance from the bed. Their light at night can affect our internal clocks, or circadian rhythm.circadian adj. 生理节奏的，昼夜节律的Do not forget about the sounds these devices make. If the buzz of nearby devices, appliances, or street sounds keep you awake, consider a noise machine. Ingui likes the Hatch Restore, a “sunrise lamp” that provides soothing sounds and lights up slowly in the morning. You can also buy noise cancelling curtains. These cut down on outside noises.buzz n. 嗡嗡声soothing adj. 抚慰的，使人宽心的Keep things clean and organizedAndrea Morris, the home designer, says one thing to avoid when it comes to studio living is leaving beds unmade.“It’s amazing how much better you feel after a hard day entering a space with a made bed,” she said.At night, she suggests putting away electronics. Side tables with plugs and ports for electronics help you store devices and keep things tidy ― or organized and clean. This is another example of choosing furniture that has multiple uses.Choose multi-use, storable beddingIf it difficult to control your studio apartment’s heating and cooling, Ingui recommends choosing materials for bedding that let the skin breathe. Such materials can keep you cool in warm weather and warm in cooler temperatures.She also suggests buying several pieces of bedding that are easy to store rather than big, bulky blankets. Studio apartments often do not have a lot of storage.With some thoughtful choices, your small space can have the feeling we all want from home life: calm, clean and good for both working and sleeping.Part III.

According to the text, how can people reduce their exposure to microplastics?A. By taking vitamins that reduce microplastics.B. By using plastic bottles and containers.C. By eating out frequently.D. By taking off shoes before entering the home and not heating food in plastic containers.Part II. TRANSCRIPTAre Microplastics Harmful?(Q1) Extremely small pieces of plastic called microplastics are in the ocean and the air, as well as in our food and water. Scientific study has discovered microplastics in human body tissues also, including the heart, liver and kidneys.(Q2/4) Some researchers worry that microplastics harm human health, although they say that science has not found clear evidence of that. Still, they say questions remain about the possible health effects of microplastics.Manufacturers mostly use oil or other petroleum products to make plastic. The material is used to make a huge number of different products: water bottles, car parts, children’s playthings, clothing, electronics and more. Heat, weather, and even animal digestion break down plastic into smaller and smaller pieces.Microplastics can be 5 millimeters long at most or as small as one micrometer. A micrometer is one-one thousandth of a millimeter. Microplastics have been found in salt, sugar, honey, rice and seafood. They have also been found in milk, soil, and drinking water.micrometer n. 微米 Researchers disagree about how much plastic people might be breathing in or taking in as food and drink. Still, many studies find evidence of plastics in body tissues.Tracey Woodruff is a researcher at the University of California at San Francisco. She said, “Microplastics have been measured in pretty much all of the body tissues that have been evaluated.”Scientists are still trying to answer the question of how harmful microplastics might be. In 2022, a World Health Organization report found no clear risk to human health, based on the available evidence.There is also not clear evidence of widespread public health effects.(Q3) However, researchers only recently began to measure plastic levels in the human body and learn about their possible effects. Woodruff of U.C. San Francisco said it makes sense that microplastics are harmful because they contain poisonous chemicals. The researcher was part of an investigative team that examined nearly 2,000 studies about microplastics at the request of California state lawmakers.Some evidence suggests plastics can increase inflammation and other changes in the body. Such changes could increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.inflammation n. 炎症 Researchers say there are ways to reduce possible contact with microplastics.(Q5) Take off your shoes before you go into your home. This helps prevent the spread of microplastics inside. Eat foods ― especially fresh fruits and vegetables ― that you prepare at home. Do not heat foods in plastic containers, Woodruff said. And, she added, use metal or glass water bottles, instead of plastic.I’m Andrew Smith. Part III. KEYQ1.

Releasing suppressed emotions and understanding true thoughts.Part II. TRANSCRIPTA Writing Exercise to Help You Meet Yourself(Q1) Usually, when we set out to write, sounding coherent and polished are our central priorities. We may think hard before setting anything down, we keep an eye on spelling, we may go back and correct words that feel not entirely right ― all in the hope of eventually reaching a point where what we have articulated seems accurately to reflect what we truly think.polished adj. 完美无缺的；炉火纯青的But there is another philosophy of writing at large, this one with a very different thesis as to what ‘good’ writing might be like. While also believing that the ultimate ambition of writing should be the expression of our genuine thoughts, this technique proposes that our best chances of reaching such thoughts lies in making every effort not to think too much, not to agonize about every word, not to go back and correct anything ― and instead, (Q2) just to write down everything that comes into our minds the very moment it does so, without any interest in seeming logical, elegant, clever or even very sane.at large 整个；全部(Q3) This approach, known as ‘automatic writing’, asks us to begin by picking an important emotional topic ― for example, ‘My Mother’, or ‘My Father’, ‘My Partner’ or ‘What I Really Want’ ― and then writing as fast as we possibly can, for two minutes straight, without a single pause, which can feel like a very exhausting and peculiar requirement indeed.When we stand back and read what has tumbled out of us, our feelings about our parents, partners or desires may emerge as really very different from what we had presumed. We might find that we hate where we had expected love; or love where we had imagined disdain. We might discover layers of longing, envy, rage or sadness that we had kept at bay day to day in the name of appearing that most stultifying and dangerous of things: normal.tumble v. 跌落，翻滚而下disdain n. 鄙视；蔑视keep … at bay 不让（敌人）接近；防止（问题）恶化stultifying adj. 使人感到乏味的，使人感觉迟钝的The value of the exercise lies precisely in the extent to which our automatic writing introduces us to feelings that are at odds with those we ordinarily dare to entertain. Much of what we are is dammed up inside us by scruples, by a fear of hurting others, by an embarrassment as to what we want when it departs from the expected path. (Q4) Yet this neglect of our true selves is also what powers our anxiety, irritability, insomnia and depression, all of these species of revenge for the real thoughts we have been so careful not to allow into our conscious minds.be at odds with …与……不一致dam up 阻止，抑制scruple n. 顾忌，顾虑irritability n. 易怒，烦躁Automatic writing will not make us into ‘great’ writers; but it will do something far more useful still: (Q5) it will liberate us from some of the insincerities that are making us more troubled and restless than we should be. Our chaotic intense two-minute essays will help us to meet the person we have been, but were too scared to get to know, all along.chaotic adj. 混乱的，无秩序的Part III. KEYQ1. B. 细节题。题目出处为：“Usually, when we set out to write, sounding coherent and polished are our central priorities.” 意为：“通常，当我们开始写作时，让文章看起来条理清晰和语言优美是我们最主要的关注点。” 因此答案为B。Q2. C. 细节题。题目出处为：“... just to write down everything that comes into our minds the very moment it does so, without any interest in seeming logical, elegant, clever or even very sane.” 意为：“……仅仅是把脑海中浮现的一切东西即时地写下来，而不关心是否显得合乎逻辑、优雅、聪明甚至是否理智。” 因此答案为C。Q3. A. 细节题。题目出处为：“... asks us to begin by picking an important emotional topic ... and then writing as fast as we possibly can, for two minutes straight, without a single pause.” 意为：“……要求我们选择一个重要的情感主题……然后尽可能快速地连续写两分钟，不停顿。” 因此答案为A。Q4. B. 推理题。题目出处为：“Yet this neglect of our true selves is also what powers our anxiety, irritability, insomnia and depression ...”，意为：“然而，这种对真实自我的忽视也是导致焦虑、烦躁、失眠和抑郁的原因之一……” 因此可以推断出，社会规范通过压抑我们的真实想法而导致我们自身出现焦虑和抑郁情绪。因此答案为B。Q5. D. 主旨题。文中主要讨论了自动写作对释放被压抑的情感和理解自身真实想法的作用。题目出处为：“... it will liberate us from some of the insincerities that are making us more troubled and restless than we should be. Our chaotic intense two-minute essays will help us to meet the person we have been, but were too scared to get to know, all along.” 意为：“……它将使我们摆脱一些伪装，正是这些伪装让我们一直变得更加烦恼和不安。我们所写下的混乱而激烈的两分钟随笔，将帮助我们认识自我，这个自我一直存在，但我们却一直不敢去了解。”因此答案为D。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有）

TRANSCRIPTA Writing Exercise to Help You Meet Yourself(Q1) Usually, when we set out to write, sounding coherent and polished are our central priorities. We may think hard before setting anything down, we keep an eye on spelling, we may go back and correct words that feel not entirely right ― all in the hope of eventually reaching a point where what we have articulated seems accurately to reflect what we truly think.polished adj. 完美无缺的；炉火纯青的But there is another philosophy of writing at large, this one with a very different thesis as to what ‘good’ writing might be like. While also believing that the ultimate ambition of writing should be the expression of our genuine thoughts, this technique proposes that our best chances of reaching such thoughts lies in making every effort not to think too much, not to agonize about every word, not to go back and correct anything ― and instead, (Q2) just to write down everything that comes into our minds the very moment it does so, without any interest in seeming logical, elegant, clever or even very sane.at large 整个；全部(Q3) This approach, known as ‘automatic writing’, asks us to begin by picking an important emotional topic ― for example, ‘My Mother’, or ‘My Father’, ‘My Partner’ or ‘What I Really Want’ ― and then writing as fast as we possibly can, for two minutes straight, without a single pause, which can feel like a very exhausting and peculiar requirement indeed.When we stand back and read what has tumbled out of us, our feelings about our parents, partners or desires may emerge as really very different from what we had presumed. We might find that we hate where we had expected love; or love where we had imagined disdain. We might discover layers of longing, envy, rage or sadness that we had kept at bay day to day in the name of appearing that most stultifying and dangerous of things: normal.tumble v. 跌落，翻滚而下disdain n. 鄙视；蔑视keep … at bay 不让（敌人）接近；防止（问题）恶化stultifying adj. 使人感到乏味的，使人感觉迟钝的The value of the exercise lies precisely in the extent to which our automatic writing introduces us to feelings that are at odds with those we ordinarily dare to entertain. Much of what we are is dammed up inside us by scruples, by a fear of hurting others, by an embarrassment as to what we want when it departs from the expected path. (Q4) Yet this neglect of our true selves is also what powers our anxiety, irritability, insomnia and depression, all of these species of revenge for the real thoughts we have been so careful not to allow into our conscious minds.be at odds with …与……不一致dam up 阻止，抑制scruple n. 顾忌，顾虑irritability n. 易怒，烦躁Automatic writing will not make us into ‘great’ writers; but it will do something far more useful still: (Q5) it will liberate us from some of the insincerities that are making us more troubled and restless than we should be. Our chaotic intense two-minute essays will help us to meet the person we have been, but were too scared to get to know, all along.chaotic adj. 混乱的，无秩序的Part III. KEYQ1. B. 细节题。题目出处为：“Usually, when we set out to write, sounding coherent and polished are our central priorities.” 意为：“通常，当我们开始写作时，让文章看起来条理清晰和语言优美是我们最主要的关注点。” 因此答案为B。Q2. C. 细节题。题目出处为：“... just to write down everything that comes into our minds the very moment it does so, without any interest in seeming logical, elegant, clever or even very sane.” 意为：“……仅仅是把脑海中浮现的一切东西即时地写下来，而不关心是否显得合乎逻辑、优雅、聪明甚至是否理智。” 因此答案为C。Q3. A. 细节题。题目出处为：“... asks us to begin by picking an important emotional topic ... and then writing as fast as we possibly can, for two minutes straight, without a single pause.” 意为：“……要求我们选择一个重要的情感主题……然后尽可能快速地连续写两分钟，不停顿。” 因此答案为A。Q4. B. 推理题。题目出处为：“Yet this neglect of our true selves is also what powers our anxiety, irritability, insomnia and depression ...”，意为：“然而，这种对真实自我的忽视也是导致焦虑、烦躁、失眠和抑郁的原因之一……” 因此可以推断出，社会规范通过压抑我们的真实想法而导致我们自身出现焦虑和抑郁情绪。因此答案为B。Q5. D. 主旨题。文中主要讨论了自动写作对释放被压抑的情感和理解自身真实想法的作用。题目出处为：“... it will liberate us from some of the insincerities that are making us more troubled and restless than we should be. Our chaotic intense two-minute essays will help us to meet the person we have been, but were too scared to get to know, all along.” 意为：“……它将使我们摆脱一些伪装，正是这些伪装让我们一直变得更加烦恼和不安。我们所写下的混乱而激烈的两分钟随笔，将帮助我们认识自我，这个自我一直存在，但我们却一直不敢去了解。”因此答案为D。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有）

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌授课

授课点评：潘紫萌老师在本次大赛中与来自全国各地的商务英语优秀教师展开激烈角逐，在教学理念、教学方法、课堂设计、英语素质、商务知识、教姿教态、师生互动等方面的表现都较突出，最后以总分第一荣获特等奖。潘老师以准确的英语发音先声夺人，丰富的表达方式、适中的语调语速和端庄的教姿教态也令人印象深刻。在课程设计环节，为实现其教学目标，她选择business ethics作为主题，介绍了教学目标、学生特征、以学生为中心和以产出为导向的教学理念，以及线上线下结合、传统和高科技媒体结合等丰富多彩的教学方式。这份介绍全面立体但简明扼要，为后面的演示（demo）课提供了一个很好的支撑。由于大赛的授课时间有限，潘老师突出重点，在演示课上只展示教学方案的第三步，即participatory learning 1 和 post assessment 1。她采用BOPPPS（bridge in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post assessment, summary）模型，通过德国大众汽车减排作假、中国支付宝公益植树项目等案例，教学目标涵盖商务英语知识、技能、以及相关的伦理和价值观等。在短短的十几分钟里要达到这么多项教学目标绝非易事。潘老师通过一系列的短视频、多种教学方法（如听力填空、案例讨论、汉译英、样本对话补正等）以及活泼的师生互动，较好地实现了教学目标，显示出选手突出的课堂组织能力。商务英语教学起源于英美等国，因此基本使用本国素材、讲本国故事。传入中国后，主要使用外国素材、讲外国故事。令人欣喜的是，潘老师注意突出中国特色，多次引用中国案例，讲授中国故事，传播中国价值观。加上她出色的英语基本功和良好的师生互动，使得教学过程十分流畅，也没有不同文化同场展示的违和感。总而言之，潘紫萌老师在授课环节的各方面表现都很优秀。不足之处当然也有。首先， 8’13’’开始的讨论过于仓促，只有18秒， 8’31’’就结束了。由于讨论不充分，在随后的问答环节中，更多的回答似乎来自老师而不是学生。第二个是要增加教学过程的自然自发 (spontaneity)。不知是因为课前多次排练还是老师特意要求，学生的产出只有一次对话（17’40’’）相对自然，其他的多次回答虽准确无误，但都像中国小学生朗读课文或回答问题，语音、语调、语速都过于整齐合一，这不利于培养学生的英语实际表达能力。点评专家：陈准民

第12届教学大赛英语专业组特等奖胡笑然授课

授课点评：胡笑然老师以充分的课前准备、认真的育人态度、专业的学科素养、科学的教学方法，在限定的20分钟时间内出色地完成了所指定的授课任务，为全国高校英语专业师生呈现了一堂值得学习和反思的短课。在整个授课过程中，胡老师精神饱满，着装端庄，形象甜美，教态自然，认真专注，热情友好，充满活力，展现了良好的个人魅力，体现了青年教师的时代风貌。胡老师具有扎实的英语基本功、娴熟的课堂掌控能力和应变能力、流畅的语言表达能力；综述简洁明了，呈现单元设计、教学目标、相关活动和拟用时间；授课有明确的目标，以学生为中心，围绕单元主题和语篇意义，突出重点，聚焦难点，讲解和引导规范适切。胡老师有自己的教学理念，能运用一定的教学理论，遵循“题材—功能—活动”的教学原则，重视语言感知和信息获取，围绕单元主题展开教学，各教学步骤衔接自然。能注重培养学生的观察力、想象力和分析能力，积极帮助学生通过语篇学习，了解重要概念以及语篇作者的观念和意图，努力激发学生对语篇主题的学习兴趣，师生之间有积极的互动和良好的交流。能充分利用和发挥电子课件的辅助教学功能， PPT和嵌入视频有良好的功能性和实用性，形式与内容相吻合，体现了课件形式与课文内容、教学手段与教学目的有机关联和主从关系，发挥了现代化教学资源及手段的教学辅助作用，增强了学生对单元主题和语言表述的理解。从整体上看，胡老师的授课比较成功。授课目的明确，授课重点突出，内容讲解清晰，活动安排合理，起承转合自然，师生互动自然，课件使用得当，教学效果较好。当然，她所展示的这堂英语短课仍存在以下待改进之处：授课停留在主题词语的概念解读层面，对主题意义的挖掘不够深入；教师个人主导成分太强，讲解和提问过多，学生活动不足，活动形式比较单一；时间把握不够合理，没有时间结尾，匆忙收课，无法安排课后作业和课外活动；授课时间用于教学，缺乏对教学成效的必要评价活动，难以确定单元教学目标的达成。建议胡老师在今后的教学研究和实践中，更加重视单元设计的完整性和课堂教学的有效性，关注输入与输出、课内与课外、语篇意义与语言形式的协调，注重教学手段、过程、效果的统一，促进学生在语言知识、语用技能、心智、情感、态度等方面的综合发展和提高。点评专家：梅德明
