After a full year of corona-virus pandemic stay-at-home life, all of it — face masks, social distancing, constant anxiety, Zoom calls, and COVID-19 itself as a 【小题1】 (potential) deadly disease — may finally be coming to 【小题2】 end thanks to vaccine (疫苗) programs growing across the country.

Some of my anti-medicine friends who 【小题3】(be) initially nervous about being vaccinated have been watching the news, seeing that essential workers are good after 【小题4】(have) their shots, with little to no side 【小题5】(effect), and now even they feel more confident and willing to take their shot. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one dose and doesn’t have to 【小题6】(store) in freezers, which will make 【小题7】 easier to get folks in for a one and done shot.

This is a real turning point. Outside may be opening up soon. Generally, we are going to have to figure out 【小题8】life after COVID should be like, and the small roles we can all play 【小题9】 making sure it never goes down like this again. So 【小题10】 the population becomes immune to the virus, it’s highly encouraged to keep wearing masks, practicing social distancing and washing your hands after getting vaccinated.

Young people in the U. S. are experiencing a mental health crisis. Reports from the surgeon general, and the American Psychological Association highlight the phenomenon, with families and children trying to get a moment with 【小题1】 (exhaust) counselors, psychologists or social workers.

Scientific advances have identified effective school-based mental health practices, such as emotional-regulation training that teaches children【小题2】 to cope with strong feelings, or screenings to detect mental health crises before they occur. These insights and practices have largely been ignored. Now is the time to act on them.【小题3】 long-disproved theories of physical and mental health as being two independent system have motivated the annual investment of billion in medical research and physician training, few resources are available to advance psychological science or a mental health workforce.

The need is clear. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 【小题4】 one of us, Kathleen A. Ethier, is director of adolescent and school health, reveal that in 2009 -2019, a remarkably high number of young people reported 【小题5】 (feel) severe emotional distress. Specifically, in 2019, so sad and hopeless【小题6】 37 percent of high school students feel that they couldn't participate in regular activities.

The way forward can be found in science-based psycho-social approaches that one of us, Mitch Prinstein and our psychologist colleagues 【小题7】 (develop) over recent decades. We have identified effective methods to prevent emotional or behavioral distress by teaching children skills to cope with stressors, develop healthy social relationships and spot depression warning signs. For instance, during the pandemic, students who felt connected to others in school were   【小题8】 (likely) to experience indicators of poor mental health.

These programs require a commitment to the science of behavior and the implementation of innovative initiatives. And they need resources - to implement these prevention approaches at scale and among populations most at need. Failure【小题9】 (address) this mental health crisis will result in not only the distress of millions of U. S. youth today but a change in the productivity, success and wellness of U. S. citizens at large 【小题10】 this generation matures.

Environmentalists are getting more 【小题1】 (worry) about the effects of fast fashion on the environment. Fast fashion is the mass 【小题2】 (produce) of clothes at a low cost. They are put in shops and online quickly 【小题3】 (create) a high demand. Factories make 100 billion items of clothing every year. The fast fashion business model is having 【小题4】 bad effect on the environment. Many of the clothes end up in landfills and are not recycled. Another bad effect on the environment 【小题5】 (cause) by the chemicals used to make the clothes. These cause health problems for people 【小题6】 (work) in clothes factories. The way people buy clothes is adding to the problem of clothing waste. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes 【小题7】. People took more time and thought more 【小题8】 (careful) before they bought clothes. They also wore them for longer. Today, people order cheap clothes on the Internet and if they don’t like 【小题9】 (they), they throw them away. Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing ends up in the trash, less than one percent of 【小题10】 is recycled.
