   The holidays can be one of the happiest times of the year. However, all of that holiday happiness comes with high costs. The good news? 【小题1】 Here are some ideas to get you started.

♦ Book your flight early and on “off” days.

The price of travel during the holiday season increases. However, strategically (战略性地) booking your flight can help save big on your airfare. 【小题2】 For Christmas, aim to fly on Dec. 17 or 18. This might allow you to escape the high fares.

♦ Make DIY gifts that people will actually like.

It’s possible to make gifts that are inexpensive but valuable. Homemade gifts offer a personal touch that a store-bought item can’t.【小题3】 Maybe you have an uncle who loves golf and you love to paint. You could paint him a portrait (画像) of his favourite golf course.

【小题4】

Instead of flying, you can use many other cheaper ways of travelling. One idea is to take a train back to your hometown, which offers both beautiful views and low prices. You can also make friends along the way with other locals who are heading for your hometown !

♦ Find other ways to celebrate.

【小题5】 You can find tree lighting ceremonies, Christmas light displays, free concerts, and perhaps charities where you can donate your time. There’s nothing like volunteering to help you to experience the real meaning of the holiday.

A.Make such kinds of gifts on your own.
B.Actually you can’t celebrate them smartly.
C.Find other ways to get home for the holidays.
D.Flying earlier will offer the most affordable fares.
E.There are lots of other ways to enjoy your holiday.
F.It’s not difficult to enjoy the holidays with lower costs.
G.The joy comes from spending quality time with your loved ones.

   Our memory naturally drops as we age. We depend on our memory to perform our daily tasks well and do our jobs properly. 【小题1】 . Nothing is more embarrassing than forgetting vital information at a gathering. But there are some ways we can do to make it as sharp as ever.

Sleep Well

This is very important if you want to keep your good memory until you grow old. You must give your brain enough rest and sleep so that it can regenerate more cells where it can store more information. 【小题2】.

Eat Healthily

【小题3】. Eating avocado and broccoli stimulates(促使)blood flow to the brain. Have more beans which contain folate(叶酸)—a vitamin B that figures well in brain development. Adding nuts and beans to your daily diet can also contribute to a healthier memory.

【小题4】

Don't think that you are too old to learn new skills. Try learning a new language or even playing an instrument. Start attending baking or painting classes.

It's not really the skill that you choose but in the fact that you focus on it for regular periods of time and find it interesting.

Exercise

【小题5】. When we exercise, we increase blood flow to the brain, increase the production of newer and younger cells and protect the brain cells from any kind of damage. Exercise can do a lot of wonders to our body, so you'd better start exercising now before it's too late.

A.Listen Attentively
B.Never Stop Learning
C.In school, we greatly rely on it during exams
D.Take responsibility for the mistakes you've made
E.There are several food products that you can eat to enhance your memory
F.Try sleeping early and you will find that it is easier for you to focus on the task at hand
G.We can never stress the importance of exercise more in keeping our memories sharp

   Here are four principles (行为准则) I live by. Whenever I follow these guidelines, I am at my very best, feeling productive and happy.

Devote time.

No matter how talented we may be, it’s wrong to think we can do it all. 【小题1】 The value of our achievements is greatly decided by what we spend our time on. We need to realize that every day we should devote the time to what matters and have the courage to let the unimportant things go.

Focus your attention.

Very often it seems that we just can’t focus our attention, even though we know what we should be doing, right? Resistance (阻力) makes us get disturbed by distractions.【小题2】 Developing a plan for overcoming resistance is important for maximum productivity.

【小题3】

We need to make a balance between work and play, between creation and pleasure.【小题4】 Even if we feel energetic to work long hours, the most effective long-term way is to hold ourselves back when we feel crazy and follow a proper pace instead.

Keep moving on.

More important than setting big goals is to just keep going. I know this goes against most of the “ set great goals for yourself” advice, but it’s what works for me.【小题5】 And it always made me more worried than it helped. Now, what does work for me is to think about how to improve my life and take small steps to make it happen.

A.Develop a proper pace.
B.Actually, we can do something, but not everything.
C.Take one minute’s self-judgment at the end of the day.
D.It’s in each step that you learn and adjust your direction.
E.We should take our leisure time as seriously as our work time.
F.These are obstacles (阻碍) even for the most determined people.
G.Going after a “big aim” was something that made me feel uncomfortable.
