A Guide for Young People: What to Do with Your Life
You can’t figure out the future. Even young people who have a plan (be a doctor, lawyer, research scientist, singer) don’t really know what will happen. Life doesn’t go according to plans. So if you can’t figure out the future, what do you do? Don’t focus on the future. Focus on what you can do right now that will be good no matter what the future brings. ______ The best things in life are often hard, and if you shy away from difficulty, you’ll miss out. You’ll live a life of safety. Learning is hard. Building something great is hard. Writing a book is hard. A marriage is hard. Running a marathon is hard. All are amazing. How do you get good at this? Do things now that are uncomfortable and hard, on purpose.
______ Starting a business, for example, is an amazing thing to do. But if you’re afraid of the unknown future, you’ll avoid it. You can’t know how things will turn out, and so if you need to know how things will turn out, you’ll avoid great projects, businesses, opportunities. But if you can be OK with not knowing, you will be open to many more possibilities. If you’re good at what you are not sure of, you could do all kinds of things.
______ Most people don’t realize that fear controls them. They don’t notice when they fail to fix their attention, or consider doing things they told themselves they wouldn’t do. It’s hard to change mental habits because you don’t always see what’s going on in your head. Learn about how your mind works, and you’ll be much better at all of this.
______ I don’t think money is that important, but it is necessary in your life. Making money is hard. You have to make someone believe in you enough to hire you or buy your products/service, which means you have to figure out why you’re worthy of someone believing in you. You have to become worthy. And you have to learn to communicate that to people so they’ll want to buy or hire you. Whether you’re selling cookies door-to-door or trying to get a job as a cashier, you have to do this.
______ If you do all of the above, or at least most of it, you’ll be amazing. You’ll be way, way ahead of pretty much every other person your age. And good fortune will come your way, if you have your eyes open: job opportunities, a chance to build something with someone, an idea for a start up that you can build yourself, a new thing to learn and turn into a business. Take risks — that’s one of the advantages of being young. And if none come along, create your own.

One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same things as you.
You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just almost everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there are you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
| A．That’s easy. |
| B．Enjoy your own club! |
| C．Invite a designer to join you. |
| D．What are you interested in? |
E. Summer vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use bright thick pens to make a special design.

| A.A careful analysis biologically B.What is global warming? C.Solution to the terrifying result D.Greater danger of extinction E.Many shocking things were found. F.A shocking report |
The earth is getting warmer. People burn coal, oil and gas and this produces carbon dioxide, methane（沼气）and nitrous oxide. These gases, called “greenhouse gases”, prevent the heat of the sun from leaving the earth’s upper atmosphere and this makes the earth warmer
A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world. They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. According to what they found, the scientists say that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will become extinct. More than a million plant and animal species will be extinct by 2050.
More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plant and animals from extinction.
The scientists studied some regions of the world with a very rich biology. These were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill, to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move a very long distance to get cooler, so they are in grater danger of extinction.
The scientists found that half of the 24 species of butterflies they studied in Australia would soon become extinct. 60% of the species in the Kruger National Park in South Africa would also die out, and more than 100% of the 300 South Africa plant species they studied would also become extinct. One of the plants in danger of extinction is the national flower of South Africa, the King Protea. They studied 163 tree species in the Cerrado region of Brazil and found that 70 would become extinct. Many of the plants and trees that live in the region live nowhere else in the world. In Mexico, they studied 1,870 species and found that more than 30% of these were in danger of extinction.

Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment．
Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
However, these laws are not strict enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.
However, the responsibility does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even put out of business.
| A．So the bad effects can be clearly seen. |
| B．It is true that Brazil has laws against pollution, |
| C．For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. |
| D．The pollution in Cubatao is caused by the changes of the companiess. |
Ｅ．The government should play an important role in controlling pollution.
Ｆ．Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物)．
Ｇ．The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either.

It’s normal to wake briefly during the night. But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.
Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake , because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake.
If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.
Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. A light snack might help relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.
If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and postpone worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.
| A．Make relaxation your goal, not sleep. |
| B．Put off worries and troubles. |
| C．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night. |
| D．In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it . |
E. Also avoid screens of any kind —computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.
F. You’ll be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest.
G. A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.
