The season for family, friends, and fun! Unfortunately, it can also be the season for stress. Here are five simple ways to beat holiday stress. Get Outside and Exercise
Getting physical activity as a family is a great way to establish healthy habits with your kids, and to spend shared time celebrating together. A short
walk counts. Follow along with some exercise or yoga DVDs. Your body will thank you with the feel-good endorphins（内啡肽）that follow any continuous workout. Shop Online
Want to skip traffic, crowds, and the time spent on holiday shopping in stores? Just click it away. Shopping online allows you to easily compare prices. Gifts can be delivered, often wrapped, to your door. Manage Your Relatives
Tension from contentious(爱争论的) relatives increase the stress level in any holiday gathering. But you can minimize the challenges created by these difficult people.
Firstly, limit your time at stressful family events. Show up early, and leave within an hour after dessert. Secondly, celebrate with relatives you like. Don’t feel like you have to spend an equal amount of time with annoying relatives. Thirdly, volunteer at a shelter or food bank. Doing good will make it easier to ignore any family negativity. Stay on Budget
Start budgeting by factoring in all holiday-related purchases, including cards, postage, decorations, new clothes, food, entertaining and travel. How much should you spend during the holiday season? A good standard is 1.5 percent of your annual income. Stay Organized
Take a moment each night to review and update the next day’s to-do list, keeping each item reasonable and specific. Use a family whiteboard or calendar to stay on top of family activities.

Earlier this summer, Carol LeResche got the phone call she’d been waiting for. A tourist was picking zucchini (西葫芦) at Thorne Rider Park. “It’s exactly what we hoped would happen when we put in the food forest,” explained LeResche, the park’s food forest founder. In May, he received a $ 3,500 fund. The money was to help turn a former park into an edible (可食用的) landscape. It’s a place where all of the fruits, vegetables and nuts are free for the taking.
Unlike some parks with strict “no picking” policies, food forests are designed to provide colorful crops. People are encouraged to harvest them. “We think it’s important to put public food in public spaces,” she said. The desire to know more about where our food comes from is one of the reasons why there is a real trend toward agriculture into neighborhoods and communities. There, people can participate in tours and classes or relax among the fruit trees. Food forests provide different kinds of fresh produce more than we can buy.
B. $270
C. $225
D. $350
D. Come up with some topics B. Prepare some food for
Food forests are based on a model valuing sustainable and mostly self-sufficient agricultural production. The food forest model requires less chemical fertilizer and less labor than traditional agriculture. An edible forest is designed to develop without pesticides(农药) or weeding. Since the concept is relatively new, and it takes at least three years for fruit and nut trees and berry bushes to start producing meaningful amounts of fresh food, it’s hard to know whether food forests will have an impact on food deserts. Volunteer-driven projects can fall apart if the group loses interest. Lack of funding can also be problematic. Pests also are an often-cited concern.
After all and above all, LeResche explained, food forests are about a lot more than food. “We also want to provide a gathering space that is productive and beautiful where people can develop a relationship with each other and get connected.”
28. Compared with common food bought, what is special about the food in edible forests?
A. It tastes better.
B. It has more varieties.
D. It’s produced free of
C. It has funny appearances. fertilizer.
29. What is stressed in Paragraph 4? A. Food forests may disappear soon. B. Food forests have a long way to go.
C. Food forests waste lots of natural resources. D. Food forests seem imaginary and impossible.
30. As for LeResche, what is the most important role of food forests? A. A way to relax and entertain. shortage.
B. A way to solve food
