Ways to Say “Happy Birthday to Me”

Whether you’re celebrating alone or with friends or family, take time for gratitude and joy on your special day.

Tomorrow is my birthday — and I’m at an age when not everyone looks forward to cake and presents. 【小题1】. It always makes me feel excited to be alive, grateful for my life and family, mind and body. Some birthdays are more openly celebrated than others, but I have found that even if your birthday is a regular day at work or at home, there are some easy ways to raise it to a special occasion.

【小题2】

They say it’s better to give than to receive, and while everyone loves to open a birthday present, there’s a lot of joy and goodness to be gained from being generous to others. Making a birthday donation to a charity that means something to you — this year I will donate to the Sierra Club — is a great way to make your values known to the world around you. 【小题3】

Try something new

Today you are starting a new loop(圈)around the sun. Why not embrace(欣然接受)the newness of the moment? Dipping your toes into some new waters, 【小题4】, signing up for an adult education class, going for a walk in a park new to you, planning a new trip — do something that reminds you that your life is an unfolding story.

【小题5】

Whether or not you have the opportunity to share a meal, an outing or a party with friends and family, take time on your birthday to connect with people who are important to your life. If you use social media like phones, you’re likely filled with wishes from the loved ones. Use these as a jumping-off point to start new conversations and reconnect with people who lift your spirits and support you in your journey toward being your best self.

A.Give a gift to someone else
B.I love my birthday, though
C.Build your relationships
D.appreciate the sun going down to the west
E.downloading an app to learn a new language
F.Freshen yourself up with countless opportunities
G.One choice is to donate a dollar amount to match your age

   Everyone sleeps. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten. 【小题1】.

Watch TV until you fall asleep

It has nothing to do with what you watch-TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series. 【小题2】. The bright light keeps you awake all night. So even if you nod off(in front of the TV, for example),you probably won't stay asleep for long.

Sleep with pets

【小题3】. They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.

Eat fatty, heavy foods when it is too close to bedtime
Heartburn strikes(侵袭)anyone of any age, but it's the most common GI disorder(胃肠失调)in older adults. If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you've probably found the discomfort of your stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
【小题4】
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever-turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.
Accept snoring(打呼噜)as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it's considered the biggest sleep killer, and it's linked to several causes; sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. 【小题5】. For the snorer,it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.
A.Lower your body temperature before bedtime
B.Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow
C.Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal
D.Exercise heavily when it is too close to bedtime
E.Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
F.Most seriously, it can be caused by a dangerous illness
G.Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping

How to Create a Mind Map

Most of us think visually but write textually. 【小题1】It also makes the information we list more difficult to process,remember,and share.

【小题2】It combines the brain's visual nature with our tendency to write down words. We end up with a diagram that combines logic and order in a less structured manner. This promotes clearer thinking and better comprehension. 【小题3】

So,how do you create a mind map?The most basic method is to just use a pen and paper,or a marker and whiteboard. It begins with a central topic or idea,then flows outward. 【小题4】 The next level of topics is represented by branches extending from it.

There aren't really any rules for creating mind maps. While most flow outwardly from the central topic,some users prefer to build mind maps in one direction. 【小题5】This can make groups of ideas easier to identify(识别)and remember. It also makes a mind map more enjoyable to create and use.

Mind maps are extremely effective for taking notes, planning a project, brainstorming an idea, presenting information to others, and many other uses. Take out your pen and have a try.

A.They help to clarify thinking.
B.This goes against how our minds actually work.
C.A mind map is the perfect answer to this dilemma.
D.They help us save time by focusing on key issues.
E.Think of it as a tree, where the central point is the trunk.
F.It's also a lot more enjoyable than simply writing down lists.
G.Others like to add colors, pictures, or symbols in their mind maps.

   Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst. It all depends on whether you have a good relationship with your roommate or not. Follow the advice to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships bad.

◇ 【小题1】

Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 【小题2】

◇ Don’t expect to be best friends.

Some roommates become the best friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 【小题3】 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.

◇ Ask before you take.

This applies (适用) to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 【小题4】

◇ Clean up after yourself.

This should be done without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are dirty and untidy. 【小题5】 But putting your stuff in order will help you avoid conflict.

A.Talk things out.
B.Always be honest.
C.Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
D.So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.
E.This creates nothing but embarrassing situations and unhappiness.
F.Remember, you’re trying making a new friend, not to frighten your roommate.
G.You don’t need to have all the time spent cleaning your room and keeping it organized.
