In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music, They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs, Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out Throughout the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

Trong những năm 1960, The Beatles có lẽ là nhóm nhạc pop nổi tiếng nhất trên thế giới. Kể từ đó, đã có rất nhiều nhóm nhạc đã đạt được danh vọng rất lớn, vì vậy có lẽ bây giờ khó tưởng tượng Beatles gây ấn tượng lớn thế nào vào thời điểm đó. Họ là bốn chàng trai từ phía bắc nước Anh và không ai trong số họ đã được đào tạo về âm nhạc. Họ bắt đầu bằng cách biểu diễn và thu âm các bài hát của người Mỹ da đen và họ đã có một số thành công với những bài hát này. Sau đó, họ bắt đầu viết bài hát của mình và đó là khi họ trở nên nổi tiếng. The Beatles thay đổi nhạc pop. Họ là nhóm nhạc pop đầu tiên đạt được thành công lớn từ những bài hát họ tự viết. Sau đó các nhóm và ca sĩ viết các bài hát của mình trở nên phổ biến. The Beatles đã không có một sự nghiệp lâu dài. Kỷ lục hit đầu tiên của họ là vào năm 1963 và họ giải tán năm 1970. Họ dừng biểu diễn trực tiếp vào năm 1966 bởi vì nó trở nên quá nguy hiểm đối với họ - người hâm mộ của họ kích động đến nỗi vây quanh họ và cố gắng lấy quần áo của họ làm quà lưu niệm! Tuy nhiên, ngày hôm nay một số ca khúc của họ vẫn nổi tiếng như khi chúng phát hành. Trên khắp thế giới, nhiều người có thể hát một phần bài hát Beatles nếu bạn hỏi họ.

WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and conservationist Peter Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an organization that protected endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife Fund was founded; the international name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in 1989, although in the United States and Canada it retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing environmental threats over the ensuing years, the WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is threefold: to conserve the world's biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and to promote the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long included both conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-managed action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships with the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.
The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs focused on individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and responsible international trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable habitat for the world's peoples, both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and rewarding recreation areas. Among the WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices around the world.
It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
