And to some extent, it's true—pushing yourself nonstop may bring some measure of success. 27． Stress and the inability to enjoy a little time-out have very real health and psychological effects, such as headaches, heart attacks, depression and poor concentration.

In addition to that, setting boundaries is important. 30． Also acknowledge that you need to limit the demands that other people can make on your time.

If you engage in something you enjoy during your time-out, you also have the satisfaction of reading that book, or writing that poem.

C. Taking "me" time also builds your self-worth over time.
D. It might seem easy to schedule a little "me" time, but often it isn't.

（2024高一下·大兴期中）Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 87． It's more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. 88． Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it's a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 89． They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses.
90． Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. 91．
A. Both types of art take skills to make.
B. Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured.
C. Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training.
D. Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago.

● Be kind to yourself. Don't punish yourself if you miss a workout. 95． . If you miss a day, consider it a rest day, and remember there's always tomorrow.

Then, why do the Chinese people use chopsticks Some people did research on the origin of China's chopsticks. One theory is that chopsticks were very convenient for Chinese to use because China was an agricultural society, relying mainly on vegetables for food. When we steamed or boiled food, it was difficult for us to use spoons to dip vegetables in the soup. 103． Westerners, on the other hand, travelled with their animals from place to place and lived on meat. For them, knives and forks were more practical.
Chopsticks reflect gentleness and kindness, the main moral teaching of Confucianism. 104． First, don't use it to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make noises, because Chinese people think only beggars would do this to beg for meals. 105． It means you lay the blame on others. Also, don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. That usually appears at the funerals and is believed to be impolite to the host and the seniors who are at the table.
Today, chopsticks have become a typical part of Chinese culture, symbolising the power of unity. 106． However, ten pairs of chopsticks represent strength, which means they won't break off in any cases. We Chinese people draw on this spirit, which always inspires and encourages us to work hand in hand for a better future.
A. As a result, spoons were designed and preferred by Westerners.
B. But to his surprise, the Chinese people use chopsticks, not spoons.

E. Indeed, one chopstick is useless and so delicate that it can be broken readily.
F. So these virtues have gradually become the rules people follow in their daily life.
G. There are some rules about using chopsticks that you should pay great attention to.
