1. Growing up is not always easy. When you face difficulties, what should you do? Just sit there and wait for help? Or believe in yourself? To have a spirit of doing by yourself is more useful than crying for help.
2. Stress is your body’s enemy. Life isn’t just study, study, and study. Though schoolwork is important, it’s equally important to enjoy yourself, such as listening to music, doing sports, having a meal or going for a travel.
3. Whether it is to get to the store or get home, or if it is climbing the stairs instead of taking the lift, remembering a “Because I can” idea is an easy way to add more activities to your life. Break the “I’m tired.” Or “It’s too hard.” Or “It’s too far.” rule. Increasing your activity level will give you useful things.
4. You’ll never create any luck if you sit there to wait for it to fall into your lap. Take steps towards your goals and dreams and greet every challenge. You will find you create more luck in everyday life.
5. Some people are already lucky, and they just don’t know it. Instead of giving all your attention to what you are short of, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends, family, and a roof over your head.

【推荐1】When you get tired of homework, several minutes’ walk in a nearby green park helps you relax at once. Or you may stand facing the lake or the sea. They’ll calm (not to be excited or nervous) you just like the green plants.

Wonder why? Color is a key part of the answers. Since it is so, green and blue help make people feel more quiet and safe.

All colors have special power. Scientists have found that many colors have specific effects (效果) on people’s minds and feelings.

Try an easy and interesting experiment and you’ll see how color “misleads” you sometimes. Wrap (包装) two boxes of the same size with colored paper, one red and the other white. Then weigh the two boxes with your hands. Which one is heavier? Most people will think that the red box is heavier, even though they weigh the same.

Colors can affect (影响) learning. Scientists have found that students spend more time reading if they read information written in blue text. Blue helps most people calm down and think more.

Smart (clever) uses of colors in daily life are to be seen everywhere. Hospital and libraries seldom (很少) paint their walls, tables and desks red. They use light colors, like light blue or green. Red makes people excited while light colors help them relax. Haven’t worked out how color affects your daily life? Start with your small room. Try to make some changes in it and you’ll get to know how important color is!

【推荐2】Tom 11, was trying to fall asleep when his 8-year-old brother. Mike, came into his room. He looked around, but seemed really out of it. Then Mike went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the light. This was really strange. Tom didn’t know what to do. Just then. Tom’s father appeared and explained Mike was sleepwalking.

Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn’t physically active during active sleep. It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep.

The truth is that not all sleepwalkers walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when, in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.

Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake. They tend to go back to bed on their own and won’t remember it in the morning.

You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up. That’s true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking? You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed. And once the sleepwalker is tucked(掖好被子) back in bed, it’s time for you to get some sleep, too!
