    Living alone in nature is the kind of decision that looks great on paper. You could move away from the pressures of city life, to somewhere with a lower cost of living and more privacy. You could enjoy scenic views all year round, and adopt a simpler way of life. It's not hard to see the appeal of this at all. But what happens when that all goes wrong?

Paul Kingsnorth is a distinguished writer—his novel The Wake was longlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Gordon Burn Prize. His books help develop an awareness of place and history, so it's not hugely surprising that his latest book, Savage Gods, is about his own rural existence. Savage Gods is in part about Kingsnorth, his wife, and their children moving to western Ireland. He writes, "In my country a small house and a field is beyond the means of anyone who doesn't earn much money or who refuses to get into debt to chase a dream." It's a feeling that anyone who's looked longingly at rural tiny houses miles from anyone else can relate to.

    But Kingsnorth is aware thatthisis only part of the story. "Because I am not a real farmer, I have to make my money in other places," he writes, "I need the Internet or the Dublin-to-Holyhead ferry and sometimes both to put food on my family's table." To make matters worse, Kingsnorth's isolation(隔离) results in a crisis of confidence in his own writing abilities—which becomes one of the central themes of Savage Gods.

    Kingsnorth isn't the only writer to make time spent in a vivid countryside landscape sound less enjoyable than one might expect. The French writer Sylvain Tesson takes this to what may be its most extreme point in his book. He lived alone for six months. His book includes impressive descriptions of the landscape and what it's like to experience depression in the middle of such a landscape.

    Some books neatly remind you of the appeal of such an existence, while others make the drawbacks central to their accounts. In Names for the Sea, Moss summarizes the attraction of wilder places. "We'd come for the landscape, for the pale nights and dark shores, rain sweeping over trees and bushes," she writes. From that, it's not hard to see why a life in nature—even with its potential downsides—still appeals to so many.

Would you jump off the Great Wall of China for 300 pounds a day?

A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.

Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain's sixteen professional stunt women —there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.

"When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer's life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I'd given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills—swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc."

Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you're accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.

"I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler's life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can't use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It's quite dangerous but I enjoy it."

"Ni Hao! Lao Tie! I am your foreign friend. Just have a bite of our organic apples and place your orders here!" Erik Nilsson, a Swedish traveler, greeted through Tik Tok livestreams in a village of Jiangxi Province. His appearance online increased that day's sale greatly. After experiencing a special day in the rural area, Erik said jokingly, "I wish I could change my job."

This village is not alone. Nowadays, China's e-commerce platforms have helped open up the market for Chinese farmers' produce, bringing an increasing number of sales online. This new trend has made livestreaming a new way to rid farmers of poverty, with mobile phones becoming "new farm tools".

"Everyone has brought their own agricultural products. How can you make the audiences believe that they're delicious through the screen in front of you? Now, let's feel the look on your face during the livestreaming!" A farmers' education and training center in Hainan Province invites professionals such as directors and stylists to teach farmers a variety of skills ranging from short video editing to livestreaming sales skills. "However, at first, only a few villagers had a strong desire. We helped them get training in livestreaming, short video marketing, and other courses. It wasn't fancy, but simple, practical, and effective."

"Everybody, please take a look. This is the best coconut. Taste it," said Pei Yanqin, 59, speaking Mandarin with a strong local accent and communicating smoothly with netizens through her livestreaming software. Just over a year ago, she was one of those villagers with the least intention to get training.

In 2018, the demonstration project of national e-commerce for rural areas was launched. Today, the village has developed eight e-commerce livestreaming courtyards. Some presenters work alone, while others are husband and wife teams. In the next step, the government will train more farmer presenters and develop in the direction of multi-variety sales.

How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.

Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated (积极的) people.

Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important

B. To fight family laziness, set an example.

C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

D. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to1a different life. It was a transitional time in Daniel's life. I wanted to2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the3time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked  4the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him6 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words7 me.

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those8 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments9? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 10to me or what he might11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him？12as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always13 never hearing him put his14into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so15to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world16, and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears filled my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was17 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed18mine. What I had said to Daniel was19. It was nothing. However, it was20.

People can't be perfectly in every way. How we can do is to change ourselves to become a better person. Recently I felt rather worrying because I didn't well in my monthly exam. I had been prepared well for it and worked hard for the long time. But my efforts didn't bring any results. I told my mom all my feelings, and I couldn't help crying. She sat next to us but said nothing until I stop crying. She wiped away the tear on my face and gave me a warm hug. I'll never forget what she said "trust me, you are good". She gave me lots of energy, but I realized that sometimes the process is more important than the result.
