Wed better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study. We may feel good when we can say something simple in English.
So we must make some plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans in our study.
Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easily and can often review and read them. We may also record our notes on tapes so as to listen to them easily.
Reading a newspaper is the best thing to improve your English. It will help you keep in touch with a lot of subjects in English.
Learn by heart the whole sentences and the phrases that contain the new words so that we may know how to use the words.
If time permits (允许), we may read a mini Chinese-English dictionary carefully from cover to cover, which may help us widen our sight and master (掌握) knowledge in all ways.
A.Read a little from a newspaper every day. |
B.Don’t read books without making notes. |
C.Carefully write an e-mail in English. |
D.It’s easy to develop an interest in English study. |
E.The more, the better.
F.Plans are always very necessary.
G.Never just memorize (记住) single English words.

Five Ways to Instantly Rid Yourself of Needless Worry
A while back, I had a great day and everything was going exactly as I wanted.I was meeting tons of new people and everything was amazing.I felt like I've accomplished a lot.Then suddenly, like an unexpected swift jab, someone made a small remark about me.I felt hurt and the worry began flowing in.Over the years, I've developed belief systems that help me get rid of these worries.I want to share these with you.
______ It just isn't possible to get everyone to like you.Trust me, I've tried.This only leads to disappointment on a daily basis, since you can't possibly live up to the entire world's expectations.Here's a new goal for you instead if you really want to get rid of worry and unhappiness from your life.Focus on what you think of yourself.Who cares what that stranger thinks? If you're happy with who you are and you know what weaknesses you should fix then forget about the world.Life is bigger than trying to look awesome; life is about actually being awesome.
______ The first thing I ask myself is, will this negative thought affect me in the future at all? Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow? More often than not, it's just something I'll soon forget about anyway.So I put myself into the future by a couple of days and imagine myself.In this vision, I realize that I won't be bothered by something so small and I most likely wouldn't even remember it.A lot of times, just the idea of it fleeting away very soon is enough for me to block out these disturbances.
______ When I feel like I'm inadequate based on the need for approval from others, I begin to do some self-reflect on my achievements.I think about how much I've improved in the past year.I've met amazing people, developed active listening skills, and started something I've been thinking about for the past two years.Looking further back, I transformed from a socially awkward kid to a socially lively and confident person.All thanks to mental skills that I consciously yield.I was blessed with true fortunes that others do not have; I was blessed with the gift of self-improvement.
_______ Write anywhere you can, whether it's in a blog, in your journal, or on a post-it note that you can throw dramatically into the ocean.Get those worries out onto paper.Look at it, assess its importance, then tear it, burn it, or throw it into the ocean like I just said.You can then look back at that paper you just destroyed and laugh at how ridiculous you were being.Who cares if that lady looked at you strangely? Who cares that someone may have noticed stains on your new white sneakers? Write all of that, then destroy it.
_____ Finally, just reflect on how short life is; focus on how life is constantly fleeting.Do you really want to spend what little time you have on this beautiful earth worrying about something you won't even remember by next week? Don't be silly, get out there and enjoy life.You've got it pretty good, I'd bet.Don't waste it on needless worry.
In the world nothing is more important than health. If people took away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we could still survive. Then how can we keep healthy?
First of all, we should eat healthily. I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk food. I only eat little meat. It helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. In addition, I think friends are an important part of one’s health. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.
A.What’s more, taking exercise is very important. |
B.Some people appear fat because they often eat too much. |
C.I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep fit. |
D.I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits which are full of vitamins. |
E. There are some people who like staying alone, but they keep healthy.
F. But if our health were taken away, we could surely die.
G. Many studies show that people with few friends often get sick.

FIVE WAYS TO KILL YOUR DREAMS
I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we think about the dreams we have, and the footprint we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. So I'm here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.
______
You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master's on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.
______
Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of the process.
______
So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set — time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.
______
I constantly see people saying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams.
______
Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.
______

Tips on How to Think Positive
Your thoughts that consist of mental images and self talk are on automatic mode (状态). When you see, hear, smell or touch something, your mind comes out with its mental representation. You will then find yourself feeling something. To develop positive thinking, become aware of your feelings by checking them from time to time. Ask yourself what you were thinking and what caused the thought. Take note of what you were saying to yourself.
How often do you say things such as “It happens every time” when something doesn’t turn out right? What do you say to yourself when you have made a mistake? Do you say things like, “Stupid of me. Here I go again?” Another tip on how to think positive is to catch yourself saying all these negative things. Demand your inner self to stop. You can say something such as, “Stop it. I am much better than that. The next time I will …”
Your beliefs shape your thoughts. If you believe you can’t do something or if you have conditioned your mind to see unpleasantness in people or situations, you will see and experience them in your life. You can change your limiting and negative beliefs by challenging and questioning them. You can also do so by re-framing things or changing your view.
Your thoughts determine what you focus on. You can force yourself to see and focus on the positive side of things, people and yourself. Develop an attitude of seeing things in a new or different perspective. Instead of thinking and seeing what doesn’t work, look at what works. Rather than seeing something as a problem or difficulty, consider it as an opportunity. Once you see things differently, you will think in a different manner.
Get out in the open and get physically active. Make it a habit to exercise daily. Exercise affects your attitude about life. It is one of the ways to prevent or reduce stress and anxiety and maintain mental health. Practice healthy eating so that you can maintain your weight, prevent sickness and reduce the risk of major health problems. Read and listen to motivational and self-help books or recordings. Spending too much time sitting at home watching television and filling your mind with bad news and reality shows won’t help expand your thinking.
Divorce Doesn't Just Cause Emotional Upset, It Can Cause Stroke(中风)
Children of divorce can suffer life-long responses to stress.
The effects of divorce on parents and their children have long been known.

Teenagers may become disillusioned(勾想破灭的) with marriage and relationships and refuse to date or say they are not going to get married as adults. If one or both parents are suffering from depression as a result of the loss of their central relationship, they may even attempt to take on caring duties of any younger siblings.
However, all of these effects don't apply to children who are born to a single mother who was never married or co-habiting . They are, however, more likely to suffer from poverty compared with two parent families.
Such as older age, smoking, obesity, alcohol usage, healthcare coverage, social support and whether or not the men had mental health disorders.All those with a past history of parental addictions and domestic violence were excluded from the study as these factors are known to increase the risk of stroke.

Carrots are easy to raise and easy to harvest. They taste good.
When people think of carrots, they usually picture in their mind a vegetable that is long, thin and orange. And not all carrots are orange. For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimeters around. Rome carrots are thin and about twenty-five centimeters long. And Belgian White carrots are, as their name suggests, white.
For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The soil also should have no rocks. To prepare your garden for carrots, dig up the soil, loosen it and turn it over. Then, mix in some plant material or animal fertilizer (肥料).
Experts say warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great.
Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content. This gives them their sweetness if you wait too long to pull them from the ground. Usually, the brighter the color, the better the taste.
If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as during the summer months. If the ground does freeze, simply cover your carrot garden with a thick layer of leaves or straw. This will prevent the ground from freezing.
A. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.
B. They are economic crops.
C. The best time for planting carrots is during the winter months.
D. Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste.
E. The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color.
F. And they contain a lot of carotene (胡萝卜素), which the body make into vitamin A.
G. Many people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months.

Attitudes Wired in Happy and Successful Brains
I’ve carefully examined happy and successful people from all different professions —actors, scientists, comedians, musicians, etc. They share very similar philosophies. Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:
◆ ①
This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.
When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,” we become more resilient and courageous in the face of new challenges.
Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace these challenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we don’t see it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon.
◆ ②
Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.
They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improve these things. They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.
I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I don’t recommend that we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, it’s also important to think of ways we can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.
Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time, but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If you’re going to be critical about something in your life, focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.
◆ ③
Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have: their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc.
Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving – always trying to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better – this inner drive doesn’t take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.
Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achieve great things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for).
◆ ④
Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy and successful individuals. Having peopled to look up to is a great resource for learning the beliefs and habits that contribute to other people’s success, and then modeling those beliefs and habits in our own lives.
If you want to improve a particular area of your life, then find a couple of people who already excel in that area of life. Study them. Ask them questions. Have them show you their technique and share their stories.
The more willing you are to learn from others, the more successful you will be. Talking and listening to others is one of the best ways to get more perspective into what you want to improve in life — and how you can do it.

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say. Here are some shopping tips:
Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet.
Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime.
Try them on. Never grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store.
You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably. Make sure there’s about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe. The back should fit snugly (warmly and comfortably) against your heel and not move up and down. If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one.
Talk to an expert. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐) and the shape of your feet.
Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to maintain proper cushioning and support.
One tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support, they may be ready to go.
