a. to seek for future vegetables. b. to advocate traditional meats. c. to make up for the lack of meat. d. to explore new forms of protein.37. what can we learn about brantley-rios from paragraph 2? a. he is tired of meats like pork and beef. b. he didnt like the idea of eating insects. c. he had nothing to eat but insects last month. d. he advised people to eat insects though disgusted.38. what does the underlined part “actually cried” in paragraph 5 mean?

according to a study, people participating in meaningful activities were happier and felt that their lives had more purpose than people who only engaged in pleasure-seeking behaviors. try giving these four things to others to start your journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle.1. your time with a busy life, it can be hard to find any time to give away. however, volunteering your time has great benefits, including making new friends and connections, learning new skills and even advancing your career. according to a paper about the link between health and volunteering, volunteering is connected with lower instances of depression and reduces the risk of dying by 22 percent.2. your attention most of us think were good listeners, but according to psychologist paul donoghue, most people are aware that others dont listen as well as they could. in addition,theyre not fully awarethat they themselves arent listening. when practicing mindfulness meditation(正念禅修), youfocus onwhat you experience in the moment and let your thoughts and emotions pass through without judgment. did you know that giving someone your undivided attention helps you also?
