Going on vacation every week might sound like the very unattainable dream.. All you need to do is get in the habit of treating your weekend like a vacation, suggests Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. We asked experts to share their favorite tips for adopting a vacation mindset at home.

Get creative about making time

. Some people have to bear weekend schedules packed with work. You could still make the best of a Thursday evening, Holmes suggests. Or, spare an hour on Sunday morning for chores, but protect the rest of the weekend as your vacation time.

Decision scientist Nika Kabiri recommends doing something totally new so you can disconnect from the same old routines governing your life. Among her favorite ideas: Drive to a part of town you've never been to before, go for a city walk, and grab lunch at the first cute café you see. Or take a bike or boat tour of your city..

Don't put extra pressure on yourself

Treating your weekend like a vacation doesn't mean it needs to be a delicate affair. If your "vacation" encounters a few unexpected affairs or lasts for only a few hours, don't be annoyed..Don't put pressure on yourself to have this "perfect vacation". It's meant to be fun. Plus, there's always another one just a few days away.

A. Act like a tourist

B. Go for a city walk

C. It doesn't have to be all or nothing

D. Just ignore the work and continue to have fun

E. All the experiences make you feel the weekend vacation-like

F. But a simple mindset shift can make it happen with no travel involved

G. Not everyone has Saturday and Sunday or any two continuous days off work

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Generally, most people feel delighted when birthday comes, especially children. They count the days and can't wait to send1 to their friends, in hope of getting together and enjoying a birthday cake.2 , not everyone is excited about birthday. There are many people out there who never3 to celebrate it. They find the day as4 as any other day. Nothing in their routine changes in the name of5 .

This may be common in those who are in their 50's or older. For some people in this age, life becomes a6 that is going on and on and at a7 pace. They feel like losing control of their time and every passing year8 the fear of dying soon. This is not good as it stimulates negativity. But some people do so and they can't9 it. Their birthday is nothing more than10 news for them.

Some people do not like to come to the notice of others due to any possible reason on this earth. They just don't want to be the11 of others. You may feel surprised about this nature but they like to remain as part of the crowd. Birthdays are12 to this feeling as they bring sudden13 to people.

There is also another part of the population that thinks it is a14 of money. Their logic is, why lose the hard-earned15 for the pleasure of three to four hours?

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Henry James said the two most beautiful words in the English language were "summer afternoon" And the only thingcan make a summer afternoon more perfect is a perfect summer dress. The perfect summer dress is the one that makes you feel the way you do on that beautiful afternoon:sunnier，more carefree and more relaxed version of yourself. The perfect summer dress is pretty, but easy(wear). It is romantic or a little peotic, rather than(drama) or aggressive. Not too formal—it has to worksneakers or bare feet. It shouldn't be too(particular) fashionable, because it is a love letter to the platonic(柏拉图式的) ideal of summer, rather than to summer 2023 or any other fashion season. (spend) in the past.

But that doesn't mean we agree onthe perfect dress looks like. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all summer dress. What brings you(please)is your perfect dress, which means that your perfect summer dress tells the world quite a lot about who you are and what you( go) through in the past years.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

She was six years old when I met her on the beach near where I live. I drive to this beach whenever the world begins to close in on me. She was building a sandcastle and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea. "Hello," she said. I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child. I was depressed: my life seemed completely out of balance.

"What's your name?" She wouldn't give up. "Ruth," I answered. "Mine's Wendy....I'm six." She giggled, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ruth. Do you want to play? Maybe we can build something together. You'll be happy!" She looked at me eagerly, waiting for my answer.

I just couldn't refuse this lovely creature. I asked her: "Why don't you go to school?" "I don't go to school. Mommy says we're on vacation." She chattered little girl talk as we built the sandcastle. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed. She pointed toward a row of summer cottages and told me she lives there.

Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no mood to even greet Wendy when Wendy caught up with me, "I'd rather be alone today." She seems unusually pale and out of breath. "Why?" she asked. I turned to her and shouted, "Because my mother died!" "Oh," she said quietly, "then this is a bad day." "Yes, go away!" "Did it hurt when she died?" "Of course!" I shouted. She didn't say anything more, tears rolling down her face.

A month or so after that, when I went to the beach, she wasn't there. Feeling guilty, ashamed and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up to the cottage and knocked at the door.
