One day, a (n)1 woman came in the store where I worked. I welcomed her to the store, and she immediately started up a conversation, telling me her name was Barbara and asking me about my day. I stepped out to walk with her and nodded along while she2 .
As we chatted, Barbara stopped to look at a shirt, "I really like the pattern. I used to wear colors like this when I was younger. "
I asked, "Oh? What changed?"
Barbara chuckled(轻笑)，"Well, as I started to get older, these sorts of clothes just didn't look good on me anymore Maybe it will be 3 for you, since you're a very pretty young girl. "
"Don't say that, Barbara! You're still very beautiful. "
Laughing, Barbara replied, "Thank you, sweet girl, but it's all right. I'll just 4 to what I normally wear. Patterns like this are made for young people like you. "
I always hate it when older people believe their5 is ugly. Older women buy wrinkle(皱纹)correctors, dye(染) the white and silver out of their hair, and do everything they can to cover their age until they 6 and say to themselves, "I'm just old and ugly now. "
I don't see things that way at all. So, I 7 her to try it on.
When Barbara stepped out of the dressing room, I was 8 The dress fit her 9 perfectly, the colors brought out the warmth in her skin, and most importantly, she looked really, really happy in it. She didn't just like the dress; she liked HERSELF in the dress, clearly feeling more 10 . She even turned in a circle to show us how the skirt flared(展开)!
Before Barbara left, she said, "Thank you for making me feel forty years younger today. "
We can do many interesting chemical tests in our class. Today, we will use CO2 to blow up a balloon! Mixing baking soda(小苏打) with vinegar(醋) together can give off the CO2
What you'll need
1)A balloon 2)About 40 ml of water 3)A soft drink bottle 4)Vinegar
5)A teaspoon of baking soda Instructions
Instructions
●Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.
●Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.
●Add the baking soda and mix it with water.
●Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
What's happening?
If all goes well then the balloon should become bigger and bigger! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical effect. The baking soda is a base(碱), while the vinegar is an acid(酸). When the two are mixed, they'll create CO2. The gas rises up and runs away through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn't get away from the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.
Zhang Daqian was born in 1899 in Sichuan. He came from an art-loving family His mother first taught him painting. He copied lots of great paintings he could see. Shitao and Bada Sbanren influenced him a lot. In the early 1940s, Zhang studied the Buddhist wall paintings in Dunhuang for two years. This was important for his art growth.
Zhang's works are famous for his many painting styles. He could paint detailed portraits(肖像). He was creative and had his own style, but his art was based on Chinese tradition. People like his later works, especially his lively splashed-ink landscapes.
When Zhang was old, he mastered the art of "painting from heart to hand". In 1971, he chose this phrase for a stamp. This phrase has two meanings. First, Zhang was proud that he could paint nature's different things with various styles. He got this ability by copying old masters' works, making his art combine many historical styles. He also traveled a lot, which gave him more life experience to paint the world's beauty. Second, the phrase shows Zhang's belief that an artist should follow his heart to show "spirit harmony". This is an old idea about Chinese painting beauty Before painting, Zhang knew what he wanted to paint and what feeling he wanted to show. He knew how to amaze people with his paintings.
Zhang lived a long life and died at 83 in 1983. He was energetic. He painted many paintings in his life, about 500 per year on average.
In 2011, Zhang became the most popular Chinese artist at auction(拍卖会), more popular than Pablo Picasso. People still want his works very much.
"Am I an 'I' person or an 'E' person? "Many young people are crazy about this popular topic and they just take a hot personality test called MBTI to find out the answer.
MBTI groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter "I" or"E", such as "ENTJ" and "INFP". "I" is short for"Introverted(内向的)"while"E"stands for"Extroverted(外向的)"
As the standard for personality tests, many companies and organizations depend on MBTI to help them choose people for certain positions And now in China, Internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
But there are problems with MBTI. The test is too black and white. The results place people into only one of each of the types; for example, someone is either an introvert or an extrovert. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, he might become more social like an "E" person. According to experts, this is called "masking(伪装)". That is hiding your true personality in some situations.
Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they take MBTI for a second time. Some find it hard to answer some questions and they ask, "I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an 'I' person or an 'E' person?"
The personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is-for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person!
a. It's too black and white. b. One has to take it many times to get a result.

●Figure out what scares you and keep doing it.

●
Make sure this hobby has nothing to do with your job. When you do this hobby, you can relax and get rid of stress. Some examples are cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Besides helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby might also give you some extra money.

simple nine-minute run around your neighborhood can do great things for you. Exercise can not only help you keep your weight normal but also make you feel better about yourself.

Press them lightly and put them in a cup of water. Boil it and drink this soup 3 to 4 times a day to ease your cough. E. If you have a headache put a cold pack on the front of your head.
