"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. They couldn't depend on them for education. They saw how it was, and began to work with their efforts.

Some young men are not the best in anything, and they are to be pitied(值得同情的). They can never do things successfully if they don't see their weak points and change their courses(做法).

One day John came back with a bag. From the bag,John took out a mousetrap and set it. When the mouse saw this, it ran away in fear and decided to run around the farmyard to warn all its animal friends.
First it met the chicken. "There is a mousetrap on the farm!" The mouse said in fear. But the chicken answered peacefully,"There is nothing to do with me. This is a danger for you, not for me."

Want to stay away from colds? ___
Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer
from cold, according to a new study. ______
"It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's
chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs
and colds less often. ____
In this study, Cohen's study interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During
the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day.
After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for
six days.
__
But for people who said they felt happy during the research period , their illness was less
serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experienced positive feelings, their body may produce
a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. __
Music not only gives you something to sing and dance to, but also can make you feel happier. Scientists say that music can help to relax people’s mind and even help to relieve（痛苦） pain. How does music work its magic? It is the fact that music can adjust(调节) our mood（心情）. Recently, there is a scientific research toback up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite (相反的情况)happens when people feel aggressive（好斗的） or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.
Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students.Half the group took exercise
in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised
to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers（传单） in support of the local disabled athlete’s foundation（残疾运动员基金会）.
The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to (愿意) hand out flyers. But less than 20% in the group that heard the aggressive music were willing to do so. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate(合作). While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can be increased with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates(刺激)worker’s mind, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood have more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.
These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person’s ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence(直接影响) on cooperation and job satisfaction. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.
