【推荐2】Life is so much shorter than you think. The average person in the United States lives only 27, 375 days.    1     To have a quality life, you have to let go of those people who steal the happiness from you, and surround yourself with those who make you laugh and happy. Here are four harmful types of people you should avoid in life.

Those who deny your dream.

If you are surrounded by people who deny your dream or make fun of it because they think it’s unachievable, it is not good.     2     You should avoid them and instead surround yourself with people who believe in your dream and support you.

Those who push their own ideas.

There are a lot of selfish people who act as if everything they say is right, and try to deny what you say. No matter how much you explain, those who deny your ideas and push their own ideas to you will never understand. So it’s completely a waste of time, and just leave away.     3    

Those who only think about themselves.

Selfish people are harmful in your life. They basically only care about their own happiness and joy, so they usually treat you badly because they are too selfish to care about how you feel.     4     Therefore, stay with those people who can understand you. If you have people who share your happiness and pain as if it were theirs, never let them go.

    5    

Don’t you have those people around you who speak negatively, who believe negatively and who tell you their negative ideas. They are alone, living in a sad and negative world so they are trying to bring you into their world, by making you believe that life is full of sadness and unhappiness.

【推荐1】Jenna had a secret. Her mum is the head teacher of her school. She didn’t want anyone to know this as her classmates would think that she got special treatment. Not even her friends knew about it. When her friends asked to go to her house, she just refused and said that her parents didn’t allow her to invite guests.

“Bring Your Mum to School” day was coming. Jenna usually told her friends in the past that her mum was out of town. “What does your mum do?” her friends asked. “She is a researcher, so she travels a lot.” Funnily enough, Jenna’s mum was always at “Bring Your Mum to School” day at her high school. A teacher once asked her, “Do you have a daughter?” Jenna’s mum said, “Yes, she is in college now.”

Jenna was very close to getting an A in her calculus (微积分) class. There was only one exam left. Jenna would have to get 100% on the exam to push her grade to an A. The teacher offered the students extra credits (附加分) if they brought their mum to the class on the “Bring Your Mum to School” day. Jenna told her mum that she wanted to tell everyone about their relationship. Jenna’s mum agreed. On “Bring Your Mum to School” day, Jenna brought her mum to her calculus class. She felt her heart was beating fast. She was afraid her classmates would not talk to her because she had told a lie. “Hi, our head teacher. What brings you here?” asked the calculus teacher. “I’m Jenna’s mum,” she answered. All the students in the classroom were surprised and they told Jenna she had a cool mother.

【推荐1】This was an unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend traveling with Oyster program. It was completely stress-free as everyone was helpful and events were explained clearly.

Knowing that my work was helping the bears gave me a great sense of accomplishment and opened my eyes to how these animals were mistreated in the past, and still are being mistreated in other countries. The bears at the sanctuary (保护区) are happy, healthy, and well fed — the feeding tour was incredible and gave plenty of opportunities to take some fantastic photographs. My main portion of time working at the sanctuary was spent making the bear ice cream: mixing up dairy products and bread. I found this fun, but should prepare to get messy!

The town of Brașov has some wonderful views, plenty of nice walking routes, and many restaurants to try. I would highly recommend walking up the hill/mountain near the apartment toward the Braşov sign as the views over the town make for some great photos.

In terms of money, I would say that it is absolutely worth it. You seem to be able to get the most in-depth tour of the sanctuary available, the work is very rewarding, and the accommodation was of a very high standard. As a disclaimer, I recommend not paying extra for the Time Tunnel if you do the Bran Castle excursion at the weekend, as it was disappointing (it was just a lift that went down to a corridor with some illuminated portraits), but I do suggest paying extra for the Medieval Torture exhibition as this was fascinating to learn about.

I was only in Romania for one week and wish I had done longer. I will definitely consider doing this again, as it was an overwhelmingly positive experience.

It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route.

Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard.

“It was much harder than I thought. I didn’t expect so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.”

Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago; Later, as his fther's50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey.

During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train. Itis a children’s charity that pays for surgery for children in developing countries who have clef lips (兔唇).

The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.

While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.

On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.

Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.

Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.
