10、achusells， this little neighborhood is absolutely charmed by one little girl。 Savitz is a super engaging girl, and she loves interacting with people in her community.

11、mmunicate with them。 Because of this， Savitzs neighbors collectively hired an instructor for ASL classes.

17、e world.CThere are many therapies（疗法） for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy.

18、 them。 Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments。 Its called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross， PhD, an expert who has studied the nature depression link.A

19、little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back， and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed。 “It seems that, from our work， the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression，” says Marc Berman， PhD， an assistant professor of psycholo

27、ut salary details probably isnt the best idea.There are organizations that openly share salary information around the office。 However， unless all similar jobs pay the same rate, people advise that open salary concepts do not work well。When companies have different employees on the same job and one o
