·Just admit (承认) it. Don't think that our mistakes are caused by others.     1     Don't blame other people, and don't cheat ourselves, either.

·    2     In order to stop the problem from getting worse, we should act quickly to solve it. If we don't act and deal with the problem quickly it'll only make us feel more stressed. Also it is necessary to make a plan of action and correct the mistake according to it.     3    

·    4     Those who have made the most mistakes can get an A, for they are the ones who have learned the most. The more we learn from our mistakes, the cleverer we are.

·Think about what we can learn from our mistakes. What caused us to make the mistake?     5     When we act with a method to get a good result, do it that way next time. If we don't, we should stop, think about it, change it and try again.

【推荐2】Kids can create a stand-up comedy act (单口相声) to perform for family and friends or at a school or community talent show. Here are some tips to help you get started.

A good first step in stand-up is watching other comedians.     1     Pay attention to what they do during their routine (一系列笑话) and what kinds of jokes work.

To begin writing jokes, start brainstorming topics. Think about who your audience will be and what will be relatable to them.     2     It should have a beginning that attracts the listener, followed by a middle that sets up characters. Then finish with the point of the joke.

Once you have several jokes written, you can add them to a stand-up routine, called a “set.”     3     And these jokes will get your audience laughing. Between jokes, include transitions (过渡) to help connect one story to the next. You should conclude (结束) with a strong “closer,” one last joke that will leave your audience laughing out loud.

Once you’ve created your set, it’s time to practice. You can perform in front of a mirror (镜子).     4     Next, perform in front of a friend or family member who can help you see what people laugh at the most or tell you if any of your jokes are confusing.

Once you feel comfortable with your stand-up material, it’s time to perform!     5     When you’re ready to perform, remember to take a few deep breaths. Then relax, be yourself, and have fun!

【推荐1】Marvin, a friend of mine, was the kind of guy who was always happy and had something positive to say. Being a natural motivator, Marvin was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation whenever he or she was having a bad day.

Several months ago in his restaurant, Marvin was held at gunpoint by four armed robbers. They panicked and shot him. Luckily, Marvin was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of the operation and weeks of medical care, Marvin recovered with pieces of the bullets（子弹）still in his body.

It is really a miracle（奇迹）for Marvin's surviving the robbery. When I met Marvin after the terrifying accident, I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Marvin replied,“As I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices:I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I refused to choose to die. ”Marvin continued,“The nurses kept telling me that I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and from the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses,I read,‘He's a dead man. 'I knew I needed to take action. ”“What did you do?”I asked. “Well,there was a big nurse shouting questions at me ,”said Marvin. “She asked if I was allergic（过敏的）to anything. ‘Yes,’I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled,‘Bullets. ’Over their laughter I told them,‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as   if I am alive,not dead. ?’”

“Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining,I can choose to accept their complaining or to point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life,”Marvin concluded.

【推荐2】Victor Hugo (Feb.26, 1802－May 22, 1885, Paris)，who is the most important of the French Romantic writers, is a poet, novelist, and dramatist. Though regarded in France as one of that country's greatest poets, he is better known abroad for such novels as Notre­Dame de Paris (1831) and Les Misrables (1862).

Victor was the third son of a general in Napoleon's army. His childhood was   coloured by his father's constant traveling with the imperial (帝国) army. The fall of the empire gave him, from 1815 to 1818, a time of uninterrupted study, after which he graduated from a law college at Paris, where his studies seemed to have been purposeless and irregular. Memories of his life as a poor student later inspired the figure of Marius in his novel Les Misrables.

From 1816, at least, Hugo had set up ambitions other than the law. Encouraged by his mother, Hugo founded a review, the Conservateur Littraire (1819－1821), in which his own articles on the poets Alphonse de Lamartine and Andrde Chnier stood out. His mother died in 1821, and a year later Victor married a childhood friend,   Adèle Foucher, with whom he had five children. In that same year he published his first book of poems, Odes et posies diverses. In   1823 he published his first novel, Han d'Islande, which in 1825 appeared in an English translation as Hans of Iceland. In 1824 he published a new poem collection, Nouvelles Odes, and followed it two years later with an exotic romance, Bug­Jargal. In 1826 he also published Odes et ballades, an enlarged edition of his previously printed verse.

Hugo emerged   (出现)as a true Romantic with the publication in 1827 of his poem drama Cromwell, in which the contradictions of human existence—good and evil, beauty and ugliness, tears and laughter—would be resolved by the inclusion of both tragic and comic elements in a single play.

【推荐3】Eric Davis got interested in firefighting when he was in the army. And while much of his job today is related to EMS(emergency medical services)，his first love is fighting fires. "I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting.” he says.

Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in classroom work，physical exercise，and hands-on training such as fighting live fires in buildings filled with straw.

Davis says the blindfold(蒙眼的)training prepared him for real fires. "By the time we get to a fire，if it’s going pretty good，the whole house will be filled with smoke. And anytime you get near the fire, you won’t be able to see at all. Zero visibility(能见性)is the same as darkness. The blindfold training works.”

Davis believes his most important duty is making sure he’s prepared for any situation he might come across. To keep physically fit，he runs several times a week and works out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting practice fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs, which helps allow smoke to pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.

Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides，Davis says·"You have to be willing to help any person you come across.” If someone is trapped，Davis or another firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out. Davis says he is not afraid when he’s fighting a fire. He does what’s needed.

【推荐1】People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.

Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means a left-handed person.

Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the response has been great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.

These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimming costume, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland.

The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” to people in New Jersey and New York City.

The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”.

“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify regional words. The terms are more often spoken than written down.

The appeal is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.

【推荐2】Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power   of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!

Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our   hearts,   minds and souls. Actually, that's your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!

In order to make “sunshine” or rather “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you'd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip ( 说 闲 话 ) about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity(不安全感) about yourself.

You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it!

Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.

Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!
