Some Simple Key* to Transform Your Life
The Power of choice
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.When hunger strikes, we con reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the* Sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision,
the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or :<mall, affects us in some way.
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all .Imagine
a world where every parent, friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more raring, supportive world.
It's the intention.
The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. The matter itself is not the choice you make, hut rather the intention behind your choice. The key is that what decision you make. You an* dear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all. If it later turns out that you seem to have made a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.
What's best for me, too!
Choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. Another example .a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for others.
| A．How do you make choices? |
| B．Discuss them together to choose your project. |
| C．But how do I know what is really best? |
| D．What is important is that we should pay attention to this presence. |
E. So it is very important for you to take good care of yourself.
F. Even small or unimportant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.
G. This then allows you to improve your decision, and make a right one.

Giving up smoking will most likely add seven years to one’s life. While many people try to give up and fail, it is not an impossible task. Follow these five tips, and you will be well on your way to giving up smoking. Success in all fields of life begins with firm determination. If you are weak in willpower, you can never do anything. However, if you make up your mind, once and for all, that you are giving up the habit, you have made the first step towards success.
If you sit around doing nothing, there is a higher chance that you will light up a cigarette and relax. Fill your spare time with sports and energetic activities. Try to feel how good it is to get your blood circulating and to breathe in air deeply. If you are not the athletic type, then walking will have the same benefit as other kinds of sports.
If going to a bar means that you are going to have a drink and then light up, maybe it is better to avoid that place for the time being. Once you have truly stopped smoking and you feel how good it is, you can go anywhere else But while you are in the transition phase, it is better to carefully choose where you will spend your spare time.
Whenever you get a desire to put a cigarette in your mouth, replace it with something that will help you rather than harm you. Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day is not only a good way to help you give up smoking, but it is also a great way to stay healthy. You should drink eight glasses of water per day, if you can. If you need to put something solid in your mouth, then have a piece of fruit in place
Tell people around you that you are giving up smoking for health reasons. They are likely to support you and not to offer you cigarettes. Your family and loved ones will similarly support your efforts and help you to avoid situations where you may feel you have to smoke because of social pressure.
| A．Learn how to resist the temptation（诱惑） |
| B．Do not make yourself less active |
| C．Escape from social pressure |
| D．Amuse yourself in proper places |
E. Get support from your friends and family
F. Promise not to smoke
G Drink more water instead of smoking a cigarette

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that ? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look?
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. .
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “ but extremes (极端)of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
Ludovica Gaudio,14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf.
“ I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “In winter , when dressed like that ,it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
| A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. |
| B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worry about fashion and fix up old school buildings. |
| C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. |
| D．Most students have simply ignored the request. |
E.Another 14-year-old girl said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.
F.Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
Jealous of the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? Don’t worry．
