①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?
②One of the answers to these questions is personality(个性). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes(基因) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors(因素) make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.
③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality.
④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just tell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.
⑤If you are sluggish person who always does things slowly, you' d better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.
⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.

【推荐2】The film YOLO (You Only Live Once) directed by Jia Ling, China’s most successful female filmmaker has become a hit recently. In the film, Jia plays Le Ying, a jobless woman in her thirties who still lives with her parents until one day, she meets a boxing coach (拳击教练), Hao Kun (played by Lei Jiayin), and later finds strength and hope in boxing training and changes her life. The actress-director lost 50 kilos which became a hot topic in social media.
After watching the film, many people start trying to lose weight. Some people plan to join gyms, but not all of them can stick to exercise. So how do you make sure you find a gym you like, and more importantly, one where you feel comfortable?
To answer the questions, Jarrod Saracco, a fitness (健身) coach with 20 years of experience in the field, gives his advice. “From the moment you walk in, it should be about the energy and the experience. Do they greet you? Do people working out look like they’re having a good time?”
However, there are so many gyms in China, so choosing the right one may take you a little time. Here are some tips about how to choose a good gym.
Find a gym close to your home. You can walk to the gym to do some sports. It’s better to drive less than 15 minutes. If you find a good place to park your car, your choice may be right.
Visit at your best workout time. Saturday afternoon may be the right hour to check out a gym. You can go and have a look at it. If it is very crowded, try another gym.
Check for clean machines. Keeping things clean or not means the gym is good or bad. A professional staff member should also be wiping (擦拭) down machines in the day. While you are visiting, watch to see whether there’s a strict rule of wiping down everything after use. If not, try another gym.

【推荐1】When he was nine years old, American boy Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic（塑料）straws（吸管）do Americans use every day?
He quickly learned there wasn’t a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing（减少；缩减）plastic waste, he founded（创建）the Be Straw Free project in 2011.
Cress started the project in his hometown—Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.
For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the American city to completely ban（禁止）.
Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.
After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.
“Focusing（聚焦）on straws is one simple step we all could take, ” Cress says. “And it makes me feel that I, could make a difference, too.”

【推荐3】Trying to keep a healthy diet? Be sure to read our list of the top four fake（虚假的）health foods first!
Smoothies（加奶果汁）
They’re made with tons of fruit, so they must be healthy, right? What most people don't realize, however, is that these delicious and healthy drinks are full of sugar and have more calories（卡路里）than a large meal! Many smoothies have more than just fruit. Some have ice cream or yogurt. You’re really better off making your own smoothies at home with your own fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt.
Salad
So you and your friends have stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. Since you're a healthy person, you decide to get a salad. After all, it's better than anything else there, right? Don't be so sure. Salad toppings such as bacon, cheese, and dressing（沙拉酱）can make your choice of a meal just as unhealthy as eating a double hamburger. Check the facts before you take a bite.
Cereal Bars
A cereal bar may appear to be a healthy snack. After all, the box has a photo of healthy people eating them on a hike. But don't let the packaging（包装）fool you! Many cereal bars have as much sugar and fat as any candy bar. Read the ingredient（成分）list and make sure it's healthy before you buy.
Sushi Rolls
Many people watching their weight prefer light sushi lunches and dinners, but be careful- there are some rolls that will influence your diet. Many have mayonnaise and deep-fried shrimp, both high in fat. When with some soy sauce, sushi rolls become very high in salt. This doesn't mean you have to cut out this delicious Japanese food together, but you have to be careful with your choices.
