Studies show that the word that people say more than any other word is “I”. People love to talk about themselves, their lives, their hobbies, their families, their passions, etc. when you become interested in people, ask them questions and allow them to talk. They will like you for that.______________
We’ve all been in situations where you recognize a person but can’t remember his/ her name. it’s awkward, uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing. If you want to make people like you, you need to begin to remember their names. Develop a system. When you meet someone use his/ her name 3 times in your conversation, or write down his/ her name in a notebook with some notes about him/her after the conversation.________________
Listening is an active process. It is much more than being silent. It involves empathy, which is to walk in the speaker’s shoes and understand his/ her feeling. Listening is a skill that is developed with practice and as you master it, people will like you more and more._________________
People love it when you talk to them in terms of their interests. They love it when you are knowledgeable on subjects they enjoy. They love it when you can have intelligent conversation with them about what matters most to them. One way to do this is to study topics of their interests before you meet with people. If you know that you will have a business lunch with a huge baseball fan, then take some time to broaden your knowledge of the game.________________
Making people feel they are important can be done in all kinds of ways. You can give a compliment, remember their birthday or a spe4cial occasion, recognize them for their skills and contribution or give them a gift. Leave every person happier for having met you.
A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Help them get organized. Together, you and your teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect her privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.
Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is
good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they
always say “My spoken English is poor.”I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.
However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow
You as long as you use the words that you know._. Sometimes they make mistakes
when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember
that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate
following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.
However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk
to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may
use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn’t matter..
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening . You have one mouth but two
ears！All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking .
Actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor..
| A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. |
| B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time. |
| C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary . |
| D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. |
E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
F. Second , they are afraid of making mistakes.
G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1．
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or shortterm goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2．Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.
3．Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. Or go dancing with your friends.
| A．Focus on the future. |
| B．This can be especially harmful to the aged. |
| C．It should be something like learning gardening. |
| D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading. |
E．But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with lifechanging events.
F．Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G．In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
