Two small words can bring a smile to someone’s face: thank you. But do you say these two words? Perhaps when someone holds the door open for you. Or when a friend does you a big favor.
In Britain, people say “thank you” quite often, even at times when there is no .
Sometimes we say it sarcastically (讽刺地). , if a friend throws my food away, thinking I was finished, I may say, “Oh, thank you!” Then my friend would reply, “Sorry.” This can make a situation confusing (困惑的) to foreign people.
However, anyone working in the service sector (行业)—waiters, taxi drivers, shop assistants, bus drivers and so on –will a “thank you” from British customers. If you’re happy with the driver who got you to school on time, or the waiter who served you food, say “thank you” to them. You’re really saying “good ”.
I was first that people don’t often say “thank you” here in China. But I know people can replace these words with a smile or nod.
Yet I can’t change my British of saying “thank you”. Even here in China, I know I use these two words too much. But saying “thank you” is free, and I believe the more the better.

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor(教授). Soon they began to about the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some , some cheap. And he told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you went for the best cups.”
Now think about this: Life is the coffee, the jobs, money and in society are the cups. They are just to hold and contain life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by paying only to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the of everything.
Live simply. Love sincerely. Care deeply. Speak . And leave the rest to God.

Last month we asked our students their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV. Here the results.
We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise . Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week .Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week .And twenty percent do not exercise .
We all know that many students often , but we were that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.
students use it for fun and not for homework..
The answers our questions about television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week .Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty—five percent watch TV every day! many students like to watch sports, game shows are the most popular.
It is good by using the Internet or watching game shows, but we think the best way to relax is through exercise . It is healthy for the mind and the body. Exercise playing sports is fun , and you can time with your friends and family you play together. And remember,” old habits die hard”. So start exercising before it is too late!
