Say No more than YES.Are you one of those people who always reject other people's plans and ideas?(37)FThis is a sure way to tell someone their ideas are not good enough and that yours are better.Try to go long with someone's idea just once to see what happens.

6.Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch.Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you.Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by.Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief.A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated.
●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt,the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated.When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship,you'll be blessed in untold ways.
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day,but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well.Maybe a loved one lost his job,her boss reprimanded her unjustly,he's coming down with the flu,or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs.
Whatever the cause of the rudeness,you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem.A kind word or a gentle,understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would.
●Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good.On the other hand,a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being.
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies.However,a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom.Instead of being an enemy,a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had.
This kind of thinking,along with a little attitude adjustment,helps you to convert foes to friends,and both of you are better off.
●Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist,someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it?The answer is obvious.Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today,rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday.
●Capturing the pleasing personality
    How do you develop a pleasing personality?Here are some steps you can take:
Smile when you see someone.You don't have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant,friendly smile.
Speak in a pleasant,upbeat tone of voice.Talk to people as if they are good friends,even if they don't really fall into that category yet.
Take a course in public speaking.The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources.
Develop a sense of humor.Pick up a couple of joke books.This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly.
●Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time,take the humane and sensible approach.Look for the good in others.Encourage them.Build them up.
    Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view.If you take the time and effort to do this,you'll end up befriending more people.

13.Is Dieting Ok for Kids?
You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they're going on a diet.You might wonder if you should be on a diet,too.(36)CWhy?Let's find out.
Dieting to Lose Weight
(37)EWhen someone diets to lose weight,the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses.By doing this,the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight.Likewise,if a person eats more calories than the body uses,the person may gain weight.
Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.(38)BDuring this time,kids need a variety of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly.Some kids are overweight,but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.
(39)GBut kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic,like skipping meals or deciding to eat only lettuce.
Who Needs to Diet?
Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little,there is no perfect body shape.Some people have larger frames (bigger bones) and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller frames.
(40)FYour doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)).That's a way of estimating how much body fat you have.If the doctor is concerned about your weight,he or she can recommend a couple of goals:
for you to gain weight at a slower pace
for you to maintain your current weight
For some kids,the doctor may recommend losing some weight,but this should be done with the doctor's help.Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.

A.It is important to form a good eating habit.
B.Unlike adults,kids are still growing and developing.
C.But most kids do not need to-and should not-diet this way.
D.Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.
E.All foods and many drinks contains calories.
F.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.
G.Being overweight can cause health problems.

7.Are you a procrastinator?
Following a schedule and doing things on time is extremely important in today's busy world.
Unfortunately,not everyone is good at doing this.Many people are procrastinators; they put off doing things that they need to until it's too late.
We all put off doing things at times.Statistics show that 90% of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper the night before,25% of university students put off almost everything all the time.This more serious form of procrastination can result in a student dropping out of school.Students who put off doing their assignments once in a while get further and further behind in their studies.Before long,they feel completely helpless.For the chronic(長期的)procrastinator,often the only way to solve this problem is to quit school.
According to recent studies,there are three main reasons that students put off doing things.First,many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time.In the end,these students often feel helpless and will put off doing many things they need to.Another reason why students put off doing things is that they feel a subject is boring and have something because they don't like it.a(chǎn) third reason why many students put off doing things is that they often worry that their work will never be as good as it should be and fear failure of any kind,which,unfortunately,can often cause these students to put off doing any work at all.
Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself?If so,you may want to do something about your tendency towards procrastination.The following five tips may be helpful.
First,list the things in life that are important to you,and then list the reasons why you are at school or university.Look at the two lists and see where they match.Is there something you need to do in order to achieve a life goal?
Second,chose realistic goals for yourself; don't try to do more than you can.
Third,once you have identified our goals,list them and ask yourself"Which should I do first?"As you become more aware of what you need to do and when you need to do it,you will feel more in control and will be able to complete tasks on time.
Fourth,manage your time wisely.Create a schedule that allows adequate time for accomplishing a goal; for example,your schedule should give you enough time to study for and pass a test,as well as time to relax.
Finally,when you accomplish a goal,do something good for yourself as a reward.
If you believe that you are a chronic procrastinator,you should try to get help before it is too late.Talk to a professional,and discuss the problem.If you are a mild procrastinator,make sure to keep yourself motivated,but don't worry too much.Remember-we all put off doing things at times.
Title:Are you a procrastinator?
Frequency of procrastination•Everyone puts off doing things(71)sometimes/occasionally.
•90% of university students will often put off dong things.
•25% of university students (72)delay/postponedoing things all the time.
(73)Consequences/Resultsthat procrastination will lead to•At the beginning,they get further and further behind in their studies.
•Before long,they feel completely helpless.
•For the chronic procrastinator,often he or she has no (74)choice/option/alternative
but to quit school.
Main reasons for procrastination•First,many are not skillful at managing time well.
•Second,they feel a subject is boring,which makes it difficult for them to (75)concentrate/focuson an assignment.
•Third,they expect to do everything(76)perfectly/welland fear failure of any kind.
(77)Approachesto avoiding procrastination•First,identify your life goals.

•Third,list your goals in order of priority.
•Fourth,manage your time in a (78).wiseway.
•Finally,(79)rewardyourself for accomplishing a goal.
Advice to procrastinators•For a chronic procrastinator,(80)consult a professional.
•For a mild procrastinator,make sure to keep yourself motivated,and don't worry too much.
