That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world's global events is priceless for the likes of Dior,one of the(2)_________(influential)fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.

Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years(3)_________(come).The red carpet,which will be televised live before Academy Awards ceremony,presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands(4)_________the fashion setting.The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.

One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time.(5)_________Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech,Dior had to pay more than$4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions.And this didn't include the time(6)_________(devote)to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet.Lawrence,23,had an advertising contract with Dior.(7)_________the group's deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report.That year,the group clothing section's profits(8)_________(total)165 million euros,up 26 percent from the previous year.

Is Hothouse Earth Avoidable?

Nearly 50 years ago,the Club of Rome's report Limits to Growth warned that if economic growth continued fast without regard for the environment,the world could face ecological and economic collapse in the twenty-first century.Yet that is essentially(1)_________has happened.As new research for the Club of Rome shows—and the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)states—the world(2)_________well be headed towards disaster.

This argument(6)_________(ignore).Instead,the world has continued to pursue fast growth,without regard for the environmental consequences.This has enabled us to make enormous progress in reducing poverty,increasing longevity,and increasing wealth.(7)_________it has come at a high cost to the formation of the society and the restoration of the planet.

The Best Way of Losing Weight

Forget what the skinny movie stars and the TV adverts say—losing weight is hard work.(1)_________you do it through exercise,diet,or a bit of both,it's extremely challenging to lose those pounds and then to keep them off.Sometimes it can involve(2)_________(change)huge parts of your day-to-day life and it can mean breaking decades-old habits.

But it turns out there's one little thing you(3)_________do to help you achieve your goal and it's got nothing to do with food or exercise.The experts at Weight Watchers did research which shows many of their members were more successful and(4)_________(discouraged)when they shared regular updates on their new healthy lifestyle online.They found people who shared a diary of their daily lives with friends and followers were stimulated and inspired by positive feedback(5)_________they lost some pounds and kept them off.

To Be Joyful,to Be Young

What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle?It's probably not what you think.In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research,I(1)_________(learn)that real keys are pleasure,joy and freedom.Joy of living is sustainable;fear of dying is not.

Why?Because life is to be enjoyed.There's no point(2)_________(abandon)something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better,and quickly.When people eat more healthfully,(3)_________(quit)smoking,and manage stress better,they find they feel so much better,so quickly.It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.

When you exercise and eat right，your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen，so you become smarter，have more energy，and need less sleep.Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons（神经细胞）（4）_________（grow）that it actually increased the size of people's brains！

Your face receives more blood flow,so your skin glows more and wrinkles less.You look younger and more attractive.In contrast,an unhealthy diet,lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face(5)_________you age more quickly.Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower,(6)_________decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely.This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

Norway is Teaching Travelers to Travel

After 15 people died during Easter in 1967,the Norwegian Trekking Association and the Red Cross announced their campaign“Welcome to the mountains,but be responsible”.Fjellvettreglene,the“mountain code”(1)_________encourages people to have a healthy and respectful relationship with nature,has since become a crucial part of Norwegian culture.It includes points such as bringing necessary equipment(2)_________(assist)yourself and others,seeking shelter if necessary and feeling no shame in turning around.

Nationally,Norway(3)_________(experience)an 11%increase in tourism in the past decade.From just 1,000 tourists in the whole of 2010,Trolltunga,a piece of rock that stands horizontally out of the mountain,(4)_________(see)1,800 visitors in one 2017 day alone.Why?Because people want the same picture they see on Instagram and Facebook.A lot don't care about the experience of the hike.They just want proof(5)_________they did it.But,while good for the economy,this tourism boom has become a threat(6)_________Norway's natural environment.

Used toilet paper,(7)_________(abandon)tents and plastic bottles can be found littered all around Trolltunga.And with the high amount of people who come unprepared for such an active hike,Norway's leading hiking group,Friluftsliv,also has called for regulations on the number of tourists(8)_________(hike)to Trolltunga.Lasse Heimdal,leader of the outdoor organization said,“On a busy day,you may have to wait in line for an hour and a half just to get a picture.To control this,we'd like to regulate(9)__________________people can hike in a day.Starting hike times should also have regulations so people don't start too late and find(10)_________stuck up here.”

However depressed you may be feeling now,if you look back,there certainly will have been events that made you happy—maybe the time(1)_________you bought your first bicycle or you were awarded a scholarship.When good things happen,we feel excited,proud and happy.

Psychologists call this phenomenon hedonic adaptation（享乐适应症）—that is，（3）___________________________good something makes us feel，most of the time we drift back to（4）_________we started.An often（5）_________（quote）example is that lottery winners are no happier than non-winners eighteen months after their win.

But don't despair.It is possible to make happiness last.Psychologists have found two antiadaptation tools that are effective in sustaining happiness:variety and appreciation.

Variety is,as we all know,the spice of life.But it's also a useful weapon(6)_________adaptation.Positive changes that(7)_________(experience)in a variety of ways are more likely to lead to lasting happiness.For example,you will feel happier about your volunteer work(8)_________you are able to cope with new tasks every week.The second tool,appreciation,is in many ways the opposite of adaptation.It's about focusing on something,instead of letting it fade into the background.It is only when you appreciate something(9)_________an enduring feeling of happiness will follow.

Human beings spend a lot of time figuring out what makes them happy,but not enough time(10)_________(try)to hang on to the happiness they already have.This is like focusing all your energy on making more money,without giving any thought to what you will do with the money.The key to happiness is to not only look for new opportunities but also to make the most of the ones you've been given.

Once aware of the public's thirst for such knowledge，the book's authors began to branch out to cover increasingly doubtful，little-known facts.They started documenting human achievements as well.A forerunner for reality television，the Guinness Book gave people（6）_________chance to become famous for accomplishing odd，often pointless tasks.Records were set in 1955 for consuming 24 raw eggs in 14 minutes and in 1981 for the fastest solving of a Rubik's Cube（which took a mere 38 seconds）.In 1979 a man yodeled（用真假嗓音交替唱）non-stop for ten and a quarter hours.

A ban on electric bicycles in New York City is hurting delivery workers who depend on them to earn a living.Many of the workers are immigrants.

Time to End Loneliness

US author Henry Rollins once wrote:“Loneliness adds beauty to life.It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”Indeed,in the eyes of artists,loneliness never seems to go out of style.There are paintings that portray loneliness,songs that(1)_________(inspire)by loneliness,and many works of literature that center around this theme.

In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves,however,loneliness is far from romantic.Instead,it's a“giant evil”that's become a serious problem in the country.

But this doesn't mean it is the problem(5)_________(affect)Britains only.In fact,we're all suffering from loneliness now more than ever,in spite of most of the world now being linked to the Internet,(6)_________has enabled us to be more connected than ever.

“Our lives nowadays are so busy.We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones,on our laptops.(8)___________________________busy we are,we need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,”Leadbetter said at an event last year.
