Lesson 51 Reward for virtue

First Listen and then answer the question

Why did Hugh's diet not work?

My friend, Hugh, has always been fat. But things got so bad recently, that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter，potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel, it contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!

练习感悟：

1.窝在家里一整天，英语成了打发闲暇时光的方式。用Anki复习了前面背诵过的3篇文章，发现又有记不准的了，还是要多重复。

2.听南大的一位老师讲心理学与生活，里面将具身认知时提到了可以通过咬笔练习微笑让自己心情变积极。之前读心理学就读到过，但是也没怎么实际做过，平时也不太想得起来，今天直接一边听一遍练习笑，确实觉得这一天都挺开心的。学习累了可以当做小调剂。
