        在前面我们介绍的二十四节气中，现在处于立夏和小满之间，就是农谚所说的：“立夏之后是小满”。 立夏表示春天结束、夏天开始了。这个时节气温将明显增高，雷雨增多，庄稼进入生长旺期。民间有很多应节的活动。

How to Open a Bank Account in Türkiye: A Practical Guide with Real-Life Dialogues

To be in the middle of nowhere means to be in a place that is far away from other people, houses, or cities. For instance, my office is in the middle of nowhere. It takes me hours to get there!

Staying healthy can be difficult — it might mean we don't always get to eat and drink the things we want.

Sometimes we have to sacrifice some sweet things because we know they're not such a good idea!

But how far would you go to make sure you have a healthy diet?

A new survey has found that almost a quarter of people in the UK don't enjoy their meals because they put health before taste.

That means they're choosing to eat meals they don't like just because they're healthy.

However, the survey, by a bread company called Warburtons, also found that 74% of people aged between 25 and 44 aren't quite sure how to eat a balanced diet.

So it's perhaps not a surprise that people are eating meals they don't enjoy!

It's true that foods full of sugar, salt and butter can taste good, but experts say that healthy meals can taste great too.

And we can still enjoy some tasty things as part of a healthy diet.

In fact, some experts say that we shouldn't think of foods as "good" or "bad" — we should be able to enjoy everything in moderation.

This is something that older adults are better at, according to the survey, which included 2,000 people in the UK.

Adults over the age of 65 were most likely to put their enjoyment first when making food. Younger people admitted to eating meals in front of others to look like they're healthy — even if they don't like the food.

你听说过“343法则”吗？

343法则
        自我肯定感低的人会没有自信，害怕被别人嫌弃，因此他们总会让自己必须做好一切事，认为自己应该让所有人都喜欢，这让他们非常痛苦。
        在这种情况下，有一种方法可以让自我肯定感低的人变得快乐起来，那就是“343法则”。就是说10个人当中喜欢你的人有3个，不喜欢也不讨厌你的人有4个，不喜欢你的人有3个，也就是说喜欢你和不喜欢也不讨厌你的人一共有7个。
        被所有人喜欢只是一种幻想，不被大家喜欢是很正常的事情。当你对人际关系感到烦恼，想要被人喜欢而觉得非常疲惫时，就想一下“343法则”吧。
