But recently, many people have posted pictures and videos online of themselves eating lemons. Their facial expressions look pretty funny while theyre eating the sour fruit. However, they are not just doing this for fun. They are taking part in an online charity(慈善) activity called the Lemon Face Challenge, which aims to help people with a rare type of brain cancer. After posting their lemon face pictures or videos, people then ask friends or relatives to do the same thing. The people they choose can either eat lemons or donate money for the charity activity, as well as invite more people to continue the challenge.Charity challenges like this one have been very popular since the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014. In this challenge, people poured buckets of icy water on themselves to experience how ALS(渐冻症) patents feel. Many famous people, including Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, NBA star LeBron James and Chinese stars like Zhang Ziyi and TFboys, took part in it. Former US President Barack Obama chose to donate money instead of doing the challenge himself. It was a great success, inspiring more popular challenges that came after. For example, No-makeup Selfies(素颜自拍), a challenge started by women in the US raises money for cancer charities, while Cat Pawsitive encourages more people to take the homeless cats home.根据短文内容，用短文中的符合语义及语法的词填空，每空一词。1 .

The first human characteristic is humans large brains. Mammals（哺乳动物）weighing sixty kilos have an average（平均）brain size of 200 cm. Modern man has a brain averaging 1，2001，400 cm3. The larger，the better？Unluckily，that is not the case.The bigger our brain is，the more energy is needed. Its not easy to carry around，especially when boxed inside a large skull（颅骨）. Its even harder to provide energy. In modern man，the brain is about 2-3% of total body weight but it needs 25%of the bodys energy when the body is at rest. But the brains of apes（类人猿）require only 8% of rest-time energy. How did early humans pay for their large brains？Firstly，they spent more time in search of food. Secondly，their muscles（肌肉）grew smaller and weaker. Another human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up，its easier to find food or enemies. In addition，their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes，like throwing stones or showing body languages. As a result，humans can perform very different tasks with their hands. Yet walking upright has its downsides. The bones（骨头）have to support a large skull. That causes backaches and painful necks. A large brain makes many advantages. It seems that these have made humans the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they were weak，small and not important.

Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Lets drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.No one cares about me.Sometimes you say that your family and friends dont care about you. Maybe you are too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you. They dont have to be big gestures, but there are many countless little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted. Perhaps you think they dont care about you so you dont make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you dont have good relationships wit the people you know, whats stopping you from making new friends?Why is she better off?Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. Theres always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they dont have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.Ill never reach my goal.If you think youre not going to be able to “get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a positive attitude.31 . thoughtsHarmBeing in a negative space does 32 . to our life and study.33 . them in mind will make you lose hope sooner or later.Aspect of negative thoughtsNo one 34 . about me.You are too negative to 35 . the gestures of love your family and friends show you.Why is she better off?Keeping admiring what someone else has may cause the36 . of the balance in your mind.Ill never reach my goal.37 . on driving away the negative thoughtsMake an effort in your relationships and start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way.

But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily. While arranging ( 安排) time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you wont be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance Your personal life and your study.Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted ( 诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music. To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract ( 使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.Creating a study planThe 56 . of a study planA good study plan is 57 . in achieving your success in study.Make a study planlMake a 58 . of all the subjects you need to study.lDecide on the time you will 59 . on each subject.lStudy at the same time every day, or you will 60 . your plan.lArrange time for other activities in order to 61 . your personal life and your study.62 . the study planlFight temptation by taking breaks;Set an alarm to remind yourself;Use your break in a63 . way.lMake use of your calendar:Put up your plan where it can be64 . easily.
