【推荐2】If you tend mostly toward optimistic thinking, you can get better at seeing what's good. Here are some things to try:

Notice good things as they happen. At the end of the day, take 10 minutes to run through your day and come up with things that you’re grateful for.    1    Write them down in a journal or keep track using a motivational app on your phone or tablet.

    2    Get in the habit of telling yourself specific things you can do to succeed. For example: “If I study, I can get a better grade.” “If I practice, I'll perform well. “ “If I go on that volunteer trip, I'll meet new friends.”

Don't blame yourself when things go wrong.    3     Instead of thinking,” I failed that math test because I’m terrible at math, “ tell yourself, “I failed that test because I didn’t study hard enough. I won’t let that happen next time! “

Remind yourself that setbacks(挫折) are temporary.    4     And then come up with a plan for your future success. For example: “My SAT results aren’t what I hoped, but I can study much harder and take the test again. “

Optimism is a thinking style that can be learned, which means that pessimism can be unlearned!    5     Just keep telling yourself, “I can be more optimistic and I'm going to keep practicing! “

【推荐3】Cooking a healthy and affordable dinner after work can be something anyone, regardless of cooking experience, can do.

When first starting to cook healthy meals for your family, begin by working with a plan. A good goal is to plan five dinners throughout the week.     1    . When making these plans, make a goal to aim for variety. Aim to include one night of chicken, one night of beef, one night of vegetables, one of some other protein, and something else for the 5th.

After you start preparing supper for your family and have learned a handful of formulas(公式，准则), it's an ideal opportunity to quit concentrating totally on the grains and proteins.     2    , it's easy to take in too much calories. Now it's time to focus more on fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hopefully, by now you have a freezer for fresh fruits and vegetables.     3    , and make the fresh and local produce the main part of your meals. Instead of making a list that offers variety and buying the ingredients, you need to prepare them every week, go to the store with a handful of recipes you are able to make and look at the fruits and vegetables.     4    . They will taste better, be cheaper, and usually be even healthier.

By making the fruits and vegetables the focus of the meals rather than the meats and grains _, you can use fewer expensive and high-calorie cuts of meat and more affordable produce.

    5    . Start by careful planning while learning the basics. Be sure to offer plenty of variety. And eventually, learn to let your local growing season decide your purchases.

【推荐1】School life is a very important part of one's life. It provides opportunity for study and discipline (自律）.It is also a preparatory period for entering public life.

    1     . Good qualities such as honesty and discipline are developed in pupils. They show good behavior in the classroom，playground，library and other places.

School is a meeting place for students and teachers. School life is generally a period of youth. In school，all the students study together.     2    . They read together，play together and sit together. At this time， they have early dreams which will come true as they grow older.

    3     Students take part in games and competitions. School also gives opportunity for the budding (薪露头角的)poets，scientists，writers，doctors and painters. It is in school that the students enjoy the pleasure of achieving their goals.

Teachers are those who guide the students on the right path. In school， teachers try to lead students away from bad thoughts.    4    .

In the library，in class and in competitions，students get chances to improve themselves. Above all，in examinations they try to show their best sides. Thus，they get the opportunity to take part in more activities.     5    . But some students are satisfied with bad friends and try to avoid the influence of their teachers. Those students will miss the joys of their school life.

My teacher Peter Bullock proved that science wasn’t boring and made physics great fun. In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I’ve kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poem in particular that’s stayed in my memory, which went:

In early days Man measured Time

By sunrise and sunset sublime;

As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline. I’m sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics—waves and electricity and so on—but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way.

Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I’ve been doing ever since—and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today—a commercial lawyer.

Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics, chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring. He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I’m interested in law, they may think: “How boring.” I guess being a physics teacher is much the same. Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people.

【推荐3】How to Enjoy Life as a Teen

The "best years of your life"? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days are.

1.     1    . Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a good supply of food, a bed to sleep on, family that loves you, having a decent education or simply being born in this world. Remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. Be happy, and life will reward you.

2. Choose your friends wisely.     2    In fact, many of the "friends" you have when you are popular are not true friends. Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that.

3. Keep your grades up. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your hard work pay off in the form of A's and B's (but mainly A's).    3     You'll get cheap car insurance as well if you have at least a B or A average.

4. You can pursue interests you enjoy. Video games, for example, are good if you're the type who can get into that kind of thing.     4    Use your "hobby time" to either A) Volunteer (to gain practical skills for college apps, job resumes, and scholarships) B. Learn an instrument, or get into something else in the creative field like painting or dance .

5. Do well in school. Even though you want to enjoy your teen life as best as possible, don't slack off in school.     5    Plus, doing well means no angry parents.

【推荐1】With a bag on his back and his hands in his pockets, Ye Tian sneaked around the fence,trying to find an entrance to the abandoned coking works without being noticed.

However, a guard dog gave Ye second thoughts. I'm not afraid of the gatekeeper-at least I can negotiate with him. But a dog? Forget it. I'll find another way. "While planning his special(uninvited)visit to the Beijing site, the 25-year-old did some research, but still failed to locate the entrance.

Ye is among the thousands who are interested in “taking adventures”, which they call urban exploration, or “urbex”. The aim is to explore structures-usually abandoned ruins or “hidden components of the man-made environments”.

Venturing into abandoned structures is one of the most common examples of urban exploration. Although targets vary from one country to another, high-profile abandoned structures usually include amusement parks, factories, power plants, missile silos, fallout shelters, hospitals, asylums, schools and houses.

Urban explorers are interested in visiting such sites, as they can discover “other parts of a city”and get to understand its history from a different angle.

Ye, who worked as an intern for a German company in Beijing for six months, said he enjoyed the contrast between the city's two sides- modern and crowded, compared with old-fashioned and silent-and wanted to learn more about the capital during his short stay.

Ye said that he was able to finally sneak in through another entrance, yet he was still asked to leave by a gatekeeper shortly after. But he then managed to get into a newly built residential block, climbed to the top and took a picture of the factory ruins at sunset.

“I will come back another day,” he said.

【推荐2】It was an autumn day, and 1 was standing in the kitchen, hanging my head over the counter and trying to figure out how many calories were in a bowl of homemade yogurt and fruit. And I felt annoyed.

I was 16, and my best friend and I had gone to our first Weight Watchers meeting. It was the trend in the mid-1980s，and even though I was an athlete, like many teen girls, I didn't necessarily like what I saw in the mirror. But after a week or so of recording every meal and snack and calculating the calories, I had had enough. I went back to my routine of chowing whatever I wanted, running and skiing, and let that be that. And it's still pretty much what I do; as long as the workouts are regular and the food is whole and balanced, my body's set point hasn't varied for years.

The weight loss trend of three decades ago−full of scales and counting calories−has fallen away. Now fasting is popular. The ways to keep fit vary: on the 5:2 diet a person eats for five days and fasts for two days each week, while the 18:6 refers 10 fasting for 18 hours and then eating within a six-hour window each day.

In this issue, Associate Editor Mark Barna tries to understand the science behind the fasting plans. Researchers have found that animals like monkeys age more slowly after years of eating less, and in the lab in humans, they saw improvements in a number of signs that indicate risk of some hard to cure diseases. The hope for healthy weight loss isn’t over yet, but at least now the calculators don’t have to be out at every meal.

【推荐3】A few hours after my first mission, returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour, I completed all of my medical tests after flight, met with NASA officials, and reunited with my family. Finally, I was alone in my office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And I did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly commercials.

It didn’t take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just completely foreign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had become. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way.

The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this big-picture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly.

When I’m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don’t seem that pressing. It goes that, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!
