Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930. As the second oldest kid in his family, he has two sisters. He showed an amazing talent (天资) for both money and business at a very early age.
At the age of six, Buffett bought six-packs of Coca-Cola from his grandfather's store for twenty-five cents and resold each of the bottles for five cents. While other children of his age were playing, Buffett was making money. Five years later, Buffett took his first step into the world of high finance (金融).
At eleven years old, he bought three shares (股票)of Cities Service Preferred (CSP) at $ 38 per share for both himself and his sister, Doris. Shortly after buying them, the shares fell to just over $ 27 per share. Though Buffett felt frightened, he held his shares until they went up to $ 40. He immediately sold them—a mistake he would soon come to regret, because each share of the CSP went up to $ 200. The experience taught him that investing (投资)needed time and a patient wait.
In 1947, Buffett graduated from high school when he was 17 years old. It was never his plan to go to college. He had already made $ 5,000 by delivering newspapers. His father had other plans and strongly advised his son to attend the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. Buffett only stayed there for two years, saying that he knew more than his professors. He returned home and went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Despite working full-time, he managed to graduate in only three years. Buffett approached graduate studies with the same resistance he displayed a few years earlier. He was finally persuaded to apply to Harvard Business School, which refused him because he was too young. Buffett then applied to Columbia University, where he got an experience that would forever change his life from famous investors Ben Graham and David Dodd.
We will all probably know both some introverts (内向的人) and extroverts (外向的人) in life, and yet we can gain a wrong impression about both types of people. For example, some introverts can be extremely confident and they can be able people. However, some extroverts aren't as confident as they'd like to appear to be and often try to hide their true identities behind a false appearance.
Shyness can affect both introverts and extroverts and anybody else too. It can be very debilitating (使衰弱的) and, if severe, can have a huge negative influence upon our ability to form meaningful relationships and it can also affect our careers or jobs.
A lot of people feel shy because they have low self-respect and feel unworthy when comparing themselves to others. They find it difficult to communicate with others whom they don't know. In that case, one of the best ways of overcoming the shyness is to focus the attention on the other person instead. Shy people can try changing people's focus on someone else, so that they don't need to talk about themselves too much.
If you recognize that you are shy and see that as a lion in the way of enjoying your life. you should first overcome it by accepting that it's causing a problem for you. Trying getting into conversations with strangers is helpful. Shy people are challenging themselves and over- coming their shyness. In this way, shy people can get their own self-respect. Each time they do it, this will be repeated until they feel confident enough.
Like any negative thought, determination can also help you beat shyness and having a positive attitude is the key to overcoming the shyness.
Belly fat (stomach fat) has long been thought to be especially bad for your heart, but now, a new study adds more evidence to the idea that it may also be bad for your brain.
The study, from the United Kingdom, found that people who were overweight and had a high waist-to-hip ratio (a measure of belly fat) had slightly lower brain volumes (容量), on average, compared with people who were just over weight or had a healthy weight. Specifically, belly fat was connected with lower volumes of gray matter, the brain tissue (组织) that contains nerve cells.
"Our research looked at a large group of people and found obesity (肥胖),specifically around the middle, may be linked with brain shrinkage (萎缩)," lead study author Mark Hamer, a professor at Southborough University, said in a statement.
Lower brain volume, or brain shrinkage, has been linked with a higher risk of memory recession, which leads to being forgetful.
The new findings, published on Jan. 9 in the journal Neurology, suggested that the combination of obesity (as measured by body mass index, or BMI) and a high waist—to—hip ratio may cause brain shrinkage.
However, the study found only a connection between belly fat and lower brain volume, but couldn't prove that belly fat actually caused brain shrinkage. It could be that people with lower volumes of gray matter in certain brain areas are at a higher risk of obesity. Future studies are needed to find out the causes for the connection.
We expect the technology in our life to work every time we turn a machine on. It's terrible when they don't work, especially when we don't know how to solve the problem. You turn the machine on, but see the black screen.
A computer screen that doesn't turn on may be a sign of a broken screen or a bad connection between the computer and the monitor (显示).Trying another monitor or connecting line is a simple way to see if one or the other is broken-down.
For windows users, they could face a system files corruption (损坏). Turning on your computer, you might see the black screen and words on the screen remind you the corruption. In that case, you may need to restart your computer and enter the recovery mode (恢复模式)。
In that case? you need to open the computer case and clean the fan.
Apple's iOS users might need to restart their phones, though the method differs depending on the model. If you are a owner of the iPhone 11 or a newer model, you can press and let go of the volume-up and do the same to the volume-down button, then press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
If the problem keeps occurring, you'd better have a professional (专业人员) take a look at it.
A. A choice is to use a DVD.
B. Phone users also face the black screen.
C. What should you do when it happens?
D. If it is useless? you need to do a further check.
E. Another cause might be a problem with the cooling fan.
F. You'd better not deal with it yourself in case your machine is broken.
G. Android users should hold down the power button for about five seconds.
I had to work as a substitute teacher (代课老师) before finding a full-time teaching job. One day, I1my first substitute job at a school. The 2 said that I had to arrive at school at 8:00 am when I would sign in.
As it was my 3 day at this school, I made sure of leaving plenty of 4 to get to school. I got up early so I 5 at the school at about 7:50 am. I sat in my car for ten minutes playing with my phone to 6 time. Then I walked into the teaching building and up to the reception (接待) desk at 8:00. When I told the receptionist my 7, she shouted at me for being 8 and said that the headmaster was managing the class until I 9.
I said the email I received 10 told me to arrive at school at 8:00, but the receptionist said what I said was a (n) 11. I finally gave up trying to 12 with her, went up to the classroom, and took over the class from the 13.
During the14 I was sitting in the office when the headmaster 15 and asked why I was late. I 16 that the email had given the wrong information. He said that even though that was what the email said, I 17 should have gotten to school before 8:00 am because that's what 18 people do, in case something unexpected might happen.
The headmaster's 19 had a strong influence on me, and then I 20 to become a smart person. Since then I have never been late for school.

I then gave them to three other senior friends of mine. One of them gave me a hot tomato soup. I tasted it. It was so delicious I couldn't help asking her about it. She told me that her mom and grandma were both top (cook) and she learned it from them when she was helping them in her youth.
This was (total) unexpected and interesting to know. Besides, she invited me again and agreed that we would prepare the dish together, was the best part of all. I feel very (thank) for these friendships and connections. Kindness and friendship always go hand in hand.
