【推荐1】Life is like a journey. On the way, we have happiness and sadness. Sometimes it is full of regrets. It’s not difficult for anyone around you to tell his regrets. When we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets?

Make better plans. If you start to do something, you’d better make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you will have more time to deal with them.

Live a more active life. You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to show your kindness to others. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.

Find the right friend. A friend can make your life colorful and he or she may break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. When you get into trouble, ask friends for help. A little help may get you good results.

Never fear failure. Everybody fails, even the greatest person. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road.We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

We're thrown into a social situation，and everyone has his worries. Have you ever met any problems at school？Have you ever got in trouble with your teacher？Are you popular in your class？If not，how to deal with it？

What to do if you don't feel popular？

Try to take part in activities. Call your friends，Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying at home alone，because it makes you feel even more lonely.

Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully，not just because you think they're popular. And remember，making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay，if they are nice.

Be yourself. If you want to become friends with someone who's popular，don't make yourself into someone you are not just to impress（给人印象）that person.

Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing. But don't overdo it！Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down in a diary.

Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends，or collect their school pictures，and take a collage（拼贴画）to hang on your wall. This will remind you，when you are feeling unpopular，that you really do have friends.

Think up your own ideas，These suggestions（建议）might not work for everyone.

What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important to let others get to know what we think and how we feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here.” instead of “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel every uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people，but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Maybe a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自传) about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.

What do their choices (选择) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. In fact, she’s an English teacher.

Publishers (出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different kinds of covers. For example, books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown-ups.

So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don’t jump to any conclusions (结论). You will be wrong maybe.

Here is a sentence that you could say, “Don’t judge (判断) a book by its cover”.

Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving cars.

Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Self-driving cars give us many benefits (好处). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.

According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world every year. Many more are injured. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money, said the website TechDim. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do.

But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would struggle (费力) to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地).

It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen, said China Daily.
