An 11﹣year﹣old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school．Why？ She has to walk past so many barriers （障碍物） in her way．The girl's home is near the school，yet her mother follows her without letting her know．
The case of the girl shows the barrier﹣free facilities （设施） are not enough in her city． Many other cities are short of barrier﹣free facilities as well． There's no well﹣designed path for the blind． In fact． in the early 2000s， some cities started to build barrier﹣free facilities for disabled people． However，almost 20 years later， only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality．
It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers． Few workers are sent to move them away， so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them． Also， some other barrier﹣free facilities are badly destroyed（毁坏）． Only a few workers are assigned （分配） to do the task of repairing the broken ones．
Some ideas can make a difference﹣build more barrier﹣free facilities and employ more of them require money． In a word， more money is needed to carry on with the work． It's our duty to make life easy for disabled people， so that they can live without barriers some day．

Our feelings influence almost every decision we make． Instead of living a boring life， positive （积极的） feelings can help us a lot． The pity is that sometimes become victims of feelings．
In one of my latest books， I compare people's ability to controls （控制） on a media player． Just like the controls can help you enjoy wonderful songs， these methods will be choices for you to manage feelings successfully．
1．Pause．
Take time to stop and think before you speak or act． Of course， you may feel sorry if you like doing something without thinking﹣like sending an angry email or posting something bad on social media． If you feel your feelings getting out of control， pause． If possible， go for a short walk． Once you've calmed down， decide how you want to move forward．
2．Volume control
Have you ever noticed that when speaking with someone， your style or tone is a mirror （镜子） of theperson's you are speaking to？ If you stay calm or quiet， they'll follow you． Shout or scream， and they'll do just like you． If a discussion starts to become worse， try to change it by softening your tone or lowering your voice．
3．Record
If you want to learn more about another person's thoughts， recording， one way of careful listening，may help． You don't need to reply at once； you're listening to understand． Through careful listening，you often see things you didn't see before and can even discover misunderstandings you didn't know．Don't judge or offer advice before you know more about others and the topic．
