1．In recent times，the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity.Here are our picks of the best，and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning，journaling，and writing in our diaries，rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals.This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine.It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones.If you're a victim of procrastination （拖延癥），this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life，making you a better listener，and overall a better friend.With simple tips such as including the person's name in conversation and making sure you're genuinely interested in what they're saying，you can ensure they will remember you.The core idea is that you can change other people's behaviour by changing your own，therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing，Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help，it's the perfect book to kick start your year and start living for yourself.Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone，the prime audience is women，as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood，and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves.Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it，we may be working hard to please everyone around us，forgetting the most important person — ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
"Escape the 9-5，live anywhere and join the new rich".This best seller proposes the idea that you don't need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan.Instead，you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent "mini-retirements".Ferris says that people don't want to be millionaires.They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.

2．"Medicine，law，business，engineering，these are noble pursuits，and necessary to sustain life.But poetry，beauty，romance，love，these are what we stay alive for. " This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago，who was addicted to getting good grades，and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.
Like some people，I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else，who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes，and took it away when you didn't.As a result，my self-worth became tied to my academic success.As an international student，I sometimes felt our parents didn't quite understand the heavy academic weight.
There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself，and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations.We should all strive to do the former，but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.
I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us，but as I get older and further into my academic career，I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit.I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day.However，we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives.Take some classes on topics that you're genuinely interested in learning about，not just passing.Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries.And most of all，accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.
I promise you，when you look back at these four years，you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades，but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people，the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special.And so I ask you now，what do you want to get out of college？

3．Not every architectural landmark is grand in scale，with splendid decorations，or amazing colors.Suzhou Gardens may just be the opposite.
When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty （1271-1368）first constructed Lion Grove Garden，they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place，hidden away from urban noise，while in the following centuries，this charming garden - most notable for its waterside rockeries resembling the shape of lions—has attracted a constant stream of celebrity guests，who have left a long list of poems，paintings and historical anecdotes （軼事）.
In recent years，nine of the best-known classical gardens of Suzhou，including Lion Grove Garden，Humble Administrator's Garden and Great Wave Pavilion，were registered into the World Heritage List.As UNESCO remarks， "Classical Chinese garden design，which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature （縮略圖），is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens，which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world."
Nowadays，relevant administrations have been trying to restore the historical landscapes of Suzhou's classical gardens.Consequently，last year，a new project was launched allowing tourists in small groups to reserve places to enter the garden in the early morning before the regular opening time.Their visit ended with them completing the last step in making a traditional folding fan，adding a poem about the garden on its surface.The experience was also regarded as a way to help people understand the wisdom，elegance and philosophical worldview of the ancient Chinese literati （文人）.
The delicate beauty of the gardens still flows via the canals that snake across Suzhou.Hardly felt，their strength in shaping the city's character seems to last forever.
（1）What's the purpose of building the Lion Grove Garden？
A．To share historical anecdotes.
B．To attract celebrity guests.
C．To enjoy the beautiful scenery.
D．To stay far from the madding crowd.
（2）What do Suzhou Gardens show？
A．Splendid decorations.
B．Grand beauty.
C．Human-nature harmony.
D．Amazing colors.
（3）What can we know about the project from Paragraph 4？
A．It featured traditional Chinese elements.
B．Small groups without reservation were welcome.
C．Its main aim was to help people approach poems.
D．It was launched when the gardens were open to the public.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Suzhou Gardens，a place of national pride
B．Suzhou Gardens，a place with natural beauty
C．Suzhou Gardens，a place that shows the decorations and colors
