We all want to live the life we dream of. However, at times, some negative (消极的) ideas may stop us. Hope the following suggestions can help to ignore those and go ahead.
Do What We Can Control
One thing we can control is doing what we can — eating healthily, exercising, reading and getting enough sleep. Doing the right things can help to achieve the most happiness. Also, it can make us move on in the direction. However, we should also accept that there are many things we can't control.
Take Calculated (预料到的) Risks
Success doesn't come risks. We all have to take risks in life, but try to make sure those risks are calculated. For example, you are working at a job that you hate, and you are dreaming of giving it up and your own business. The thought is a start. But one day, you can't stand your job any more, so you leave it even though you haven't really had a plan. This is such a big risk that it will probably make you want to take a risk again. So just start with a small risk.
Don't Be Afraid of Failure
Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history. However, he many times. Did you know Edison created an electric pen? A ghost machine? Probably not. Well, that's because they were complete failures. But those failures put him one step to success. Think of failures as milestones (里程碑) towards success.
Healthy living to most people means having a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips that people should follow in their(日常的)life.

However, every time you exercise, you put(你自己)at risk of getting hurt, so remember to do it in a right way.
(足够的)sleep is the key to a healthy lifestyle. For most people it is necessary to keep eight hours of sleep each day. If you don't fall asleep within twenty minutes, do something(使人放松的). Reading and listening to light music are good (选择).
And then you may fall asleep soon.
at egg live kindness have protect another moving as nothing Scott often goes to supermarket for shopping. One day, he went to shop at the supermarket usual. While he was looking for a parking space, he saw a goose (鹅) standing in the middle of the road. He thought it might be injured, he parked the car and a look. However, the goose looked angry and tried to drive him away. He could do but leave.
When Scott finished shopping and walked out of the supermarket, he was surprised what he saw. The goose was still walking around the parking lot, and there was goose not far away. A few traffic cones (锥形警告路标) had been put around it. Scott knew it was a female from its feather. A man from the supermarket told Scott they had done so in order to "the family". The family? Yes, the female goose was found laying .
A few hours ago, Scott shared this story on the Inter1net. Indeed, it was just a small thing, but showing the of human nature. If all of us can peacefully with animals, we believe that our earth will become better.
As I entered an international high school, all my friends felt surprised at my short hair. This is because, my old school thinks teenage y aren't the time for looking pretty. Then I coloured my hair blue. For the first time, I felt free and beautiful. This international school s to meet my needs.
I had a t education background. I went to public schools, received normal (常规的) education and was required to follow r like every other student. Later, I began to wonder w this education was truly suitable for me.
However, in the new school my high hopes were not met. For a while, I found myself in a surprising situation as I faced before. It was s the biggest challenge I faced in my education-the freedom to try new things. In the old system, I was strongly advised a trying new things. But in my new school, it worked the opposite way-we had many chances to try new things. But if I f, I must be responsible (负责任的) because I put myself in such risk. Finally, it led me to get into trouble again.
As time went by, I started to find my o balance. In fact, none of the education systems in the world are perfect. I am l enough to have a chance to bring great value from both systems together. As a result, I've built a system for myself.
In some western countries, some people don't like the number 13 because they think 13 is an unlucky number. For example, they don't like to live on the thirteenth floor. One evening, Mr. Smith asked some friends to get t. When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit at the table for d. He began to c the people. Suddenly, he cried out, "Oh, there are thirteen people here!" Everyone's face looked pale e Mr. Brown. He said with a smile, "Don't wont', my friends. My wife will have a baby in a few weeks. So we have f people here." All of the friends became happy again. "Congratulations!" they said to Mr. Brown. They all had a good time that evening.
Cooking was once regarded as a necessary part of education in England. But in recent years, it has become less important in schools. As a result, (基础的) cooking and food preparation skills are being lost. It is also making more children overweight, as parents use too much fast food that is (有害的) to their health.
The government is worried and is looking for ways to (解决) the problem. A new law has been passed. All secondary schools should offer cooking (课程) to students aged from 11 to 14 years old. They hope that this will encourage people to cook instead of eating (准备好的) meals, fast food and snacks.
Students will learn to cook for one hour a (星期) for one term. They will learn to use simple and fresh ingredients (原料) to prepare healthy, tasty food, following (说明). These cooking skills will be helpful in their future life. Schools are also setting up cooking clubs all over the country. The clubs will (提供) more children with the chance to learn to cook.
There are still difficulties. Head teachers are worried about the things they will need for the cooking. And about 15% of schools do not have (厨房) and there are not enough teachers.
The speaker from the government (允诺) to train 800 teachers and to give schools2.5 million pounds a year to help children from poorer families to pay for ingredients.
Marty was growing up. All he wanted was to do things in his way. Why did all the wolves have to do e together? They ate together, played together, slept together, and hunted(猎食) together. Everywhere, every day. It was tiring.
Marty thought he could do things h now, such as hunting a rabbit, hanging out, sleeping without the pack and so on. But his mom wouldn't let him try those i on his own. She always said to him, "Packs(群体) help us live ."
One day, the pack was walking through a forest. Marty thought, "I'm going to go down that path(小路) and I'll have plenty to eat! I don't need you, guys!" He ran off without telling anyone. He ran for miles. He started to get t, and it was getting dark. Usually, the pack would all find a place together to sleep, but Marty had no pack now. He found a small cave to sleep in. He thought, "Sleeping would be much easier with my pack by my side. If something dangerous comes, they will p me."
He could hardly sleep that night. The next morning, he decided to go b to the place where he'd last been together with his pack. On the way to find his pack, he smelled a deer. "Hmmmm…" Marty thought, "The pack would be happy if I brought a deer for them all." S he decided to hunt on his own. He followed the deer into an open space. Marty looked around. Where was the deer? Suddenly, something charged( 猛冲) out of the trees at him! It was the deer, and those antlers( 鹿角) were sharp!!! Marty ran from it as f as he could. After a while, the deer s running after him. Marty rested.
Now, he felt hungry and lonely. He realized his mom was r, packs did help them live. He hoped he could find his pack and work hard to help them as much as they help him.
Ali and Albert were brothers. Their parents away early and left them a cow. The brothers were going to share the cow. Albert is an ['ɒnɪst] man and he listened to everything that his elder brother said. But Ali was cunning(狡猾的).
One day, Ali said," I will be very (公平的) with you, Albert. You take the front pait of the cow and I will take the hind(后面的) side of the cow. Each of us can use we get. But we can't kill it.”
Albeit gave the cow grass and water every day. The cow made lots of milk. Ali s the milk and got a lot of money. But he did not share the money with Albert. Albert felt a bit u .
A (邻居) knew about this and said something to Albert. The next day, when Ali was milking the cow, Albert hit the cow in the head. The cow started k . Ali shouted to Albeit, "Don't you see me milking the cow?"
“"The front part of the cow is, and I can do anything I want." Albert said angrily.
Ali knew he was wrong and said sorry to Albert. From then on, the brothers fed the cow [tə'geðə] and shared the money from selling milk. Both of the brothers lived happily after that.
The Chinese high-speed railways have a quality all on its own. Tier 1(一线) c like Beijing have a couple hundred high-speed trains stopping at the city every day.
China's (科技) on building the railway is leading the rest of the world. There is no sign that any country could be better than China in near future. I had my (第一次) opportunity to ride the high-speed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou.
As someone w grew up with a disdain (偏见) for public transportation (not sure why the US hates it so much), I was afraid the experience. I hoped to fly, but was told that it would be much better if I (乘) the train.
The train was amazing. I had traveled on a train before in the US, and hated how s it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high-speed trains are on a different level. The trains are clean and the seats are huge. You can't even (感觉) how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be a to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h—it is that smooth.
I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited.
Chinese writing is one of the world's greatest writing systems. It is more win use than alphabetic(字母的) writing systems. More than half of the world's books are written in Chinese, including historical writing and novels, along with writing on government and law.
At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based l. It dates back several thousand years to the uof animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved(刻) by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in thanzi.
By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were dgeographically, leading to different dialects(方言 ) and characters. This, however, cunder Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qinshihuang united 统一) the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great iin uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still cin writing. Written Chinese has also become an important method to cChina's present with its past. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times.
Today, Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a g role in the world, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate(欣赏) China's culture through this amazing language. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.
Most adults find it hard to remember the things happened while they were children. Now scientists have found exactly when these memories d.
A new study has found that most three-year-old children can remember a lot of what happened to them a year e, and these memories are still clear while they are 5 and 6, but by the time they are over 7, these memories become weaker r.
Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only remember 35% of their e from under the age of 3 according to the new studies.
The scientists say this is because at around this age the way we form(形成)memories begins to change. They say that before the age of 7 children do not have a s of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early things they can remember become more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster speed of f than adults. The discoveries also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of what they have done, b then forget them just several years later.
The children were organized to the laboratory for the first time at the age of 3 and discussed 6 impressed(印象深刻的) things from their past, such as the first relaxing trip with your family, the first d accident you met, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second s between the ages of 5 and 9 to discuss the same things. The scientists found that between the ages of 5 and 7,the amount（量）of memories that the children could remember r between 63%~72%. However, between the ages of 8 to 9, the amount of memories that the children could remember fell to between 35%~36%.
Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. A short video about seven people wearing prosthetic devices(人造装置) who t on a desert race challenge has become popular.
The seven disabled people jin the 108-kilometer desert race from May 11 to 14 in Dunhuang, Northwest China's Gansu Province. Six of the seven had one leg amputated(截肢), and ohad two legs amputated.
Cheng Baojun, a man from Luohe, Central China's Henan Province, the double amputee, said he never i he could take part in the desert race. "It is great, I can do it, and you can also." "It is easy to say, but walking it is h." Cheng said. On the first day, they finished a complete section of 27 kilometers of the race, and on the second day, they finished 20 kilometers.
"My legs were painful while I was walking. We also met with a very big sandstorm on the way. But s it was a challenge, we could not give up. We all encouraged each other to continue." he said. After getting t, they rested on the third day and walked on the fourth.
Lao Tongyi walked the longest of the group, a distance of more than 70 kilometers. Team leader SunNaicheng said that they had to p through depulation (人烟稀少) areas of the Gobi Desert. He also added that team members challenged themselves and realized their d .
They are good e for everyone to learn from. It's up to you how far you go. If you don't try, you will never know.
Smoking has not been allowed in public places in England since July 2007. This was a successful (决定)made by the government in years. It was popular with most people. In a survey last month, 78% of the people said they would still (支持) the smoking ban.
It is now much more pleasant to go into a pub or a (餐馆). Before that, pubs were filled with smoke which made you cough and made your hair and clothes (发出气味). However, (最近), a study shows that 16% of the bar and pub owners are upset to notice a drop in business, because smokers prefer killing time at home and (很少地) go out for a drink.
