I grow up in a very big family. My parents have raised twelve kids and I am their first-born. It has been my duty to help my mom take care of my brothers and sisters. To handle them, often I have to organize an outdoor activity, like a softball game. I must say that I have the potential to work as an instructor.
Last year, my dog got crippled after losing the fight to my neighbor’s bulldog. I rinsed its wound with some lotion and tied its leg with a stick. I had him take medicine every day for a full month. Finally he recovered. I think I can help the elderly and the disabled as well. I feel so good when I can offer help.
I am a film buff. A big fan of Antonio Banderas. He is so wild and charming. Because of him, I fell in love with Spain. The Latin dance and the bullfight are really exciting. Oh, if only I could stay in Spain as an exchange student! I would be learning Spanish so well that I can watch a Spanish film with the dubbing.
I had the experience of working as a social worker in Switzerland last summer. I love the country and its people. There are great mountains for climbers and the local people are so nice to strangers. I helped the kids with their English. My teaching skills improved greatly during my stay. Now I’m well prepared to work as a language instructor.
I spent my gap year traveling all over Africa last year. It was definitely an eye- opening experience. The exotic clothes and tribal dances of the people really fascinated me. But I was most amazed by the wildlife there. I really took great pleasure in watching those animals hunting their prey. You know, I specialize in zoology, and I’m a good observer.

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. However, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. _ The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53, 000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health. They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted. It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.
Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as the children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.
As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.

A．Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.

B．As a matter of fact, almost all of US breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not.

C．In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer.

D．However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young.

E. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke.
F. This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
G. Many people, including doctors, parents, teachers, and others, are concerned about the health risks of cigarette smoking.

I always reflect on what happened in my life. I think this is important—to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc. Here are some tips for you on reflection.
1. Focus on the process and not the outcome.
This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because we focus our energies on the outcome rather than the- process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but on the process.
2. Failure is a lead not a stop sign.
When you hit a wall and things don’t turn up the way they are intended, no one is saying to you, “This is where you stop because you failed”. If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, “ Try another method.”
3. Happiness is not the destination but the journey.
We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don’t have. This is not quite right. It’s about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.
4. Wisdom comes from the balance between your knowledge and your heart.
Let your heart talk more; it’s wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be. Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge with your heart.
5. Gratitude is the energy-drink of the soul.
Say thank you to the universe every morning. Appreciation can lift your soul from anxiety which weighs you down. Try it out. It will help you appreciate life with more depth and perspective.

A．Failure is the mother of success.

B．Happiness is when we accept and enjoy everything as it is.

C．This method and the intended result do not match.

D．Be thankful to at least one thing in your day.

E. Not reflecting on our lives and experiences is a wasted chance for growth.
F. Happiness means achieving your goals and getting what you want.
G. But if your mind doesn’t go with your heart, you are losing energy in internal conflicts.

Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails?
Identify your core values
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
Pick a goal and focus on it
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
Set a deadline for success
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

A．The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.

B．Make the right decision.

C．I’ve made a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them.

D．Stick to your goal.

E.Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.
F.Sit and reflect on what you value most.
G.Push yourself to be courageous, and take the next step.

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A．Make choice that are right for you.

B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D．And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
