【推荐2】It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which may help you.
Focus on（集中）one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.
Prioritize（优先处理）the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things before our goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.
Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example, you just need to develop the habits for your health, walking each day（or running, or cycling etc.）, drinking more water, eating fruit and vegetables instead of junk snacks.
Close your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed（打扰）. If you are disturbed from time to time, you really don’t have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks. If so, you will get them done better.
Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up time for your goals.
If you follow the above, you will succeed to achieve your goal.

Like many other primary school pupils, nine-year-old Minnal went abroad with her parents during the recent school holidays. It may come as a surprise to learn that she neither shopped at a mall nor ate at a fancy restaurant. She climbed a mountain.
For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I thought this was the most meaningful trip for me.” It has not been confirmed(证实) if the Primary Four pupil is indeed the youngest Singaporean to reach the base camp, as no such records are kept.
Everest’s south base camp in Nepal is where climbers planning to climb the world’s highest peak, stay to get used to the altitude(海拔高度). However, Minnal can’t climb the peak(山峰), because climbers have to be at least sixteen years old to climb the peak.
How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge. On 20 May, 2016, the family flew to Nepal.
Minnal shared that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, with the help of three local guides. Luckily, she added, nobody fell ill with altitude sickness. She also said that she is thinking of climbing Everest in the future.

【推荐3】In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone may feel tired and bored.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are shown on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.
Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. They can see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.
Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.
All in all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.

【推荐2】Protect Personal Information During Shopping SeasonsU.S. customers are worried about their personal ID information during the holiday season, according to a research by Discover. Here are some simple tips to protect your personal information.
Be aware of surroundings. The Identity Theft Resource Center says 43%of identity theft comes from a stolen wallet, credit card, or other things. During the crowded holiday shopping, keep an eye on your bags and pockets and always pay attention to what's happening around you.
Be careful of unsafe Wi-Fi networks. If you use a free network in the coffee shop, other users on the network can get what you see and what you send. Then, most of your personal information will be caught by others. Experts suggest using a virtual private network (VPN) instead of the public networks and try to change the settings on your mobile device so it can't connect to nearby public Wi-Fi without your permission(许可).
Please think carefully about providing your information. Mobile shopping Apps are convenient, but they can store your name, address, phone number, email, and other personal information. Look for Apps that can clearly show you about how they keep your data safe. Never provide secret information tied to your identity, like your Social Security num ber or bank account number.

Life in Space
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in space? The most important thing to remember about living in space is that there is no gravity. That means astronauts can’t do a lot of things that you do easily in your daily life. For example, astronauts can’t pour(倒) themselves a cup of juice the way you can. Why? Because gravity makes the juice pour from the bottle into your cup. Astronauts can’t rely(依靠) on gravity. Astronauts can’t lie on beds and sleep the way you do because gravity is what holds you to your bed.
So how do astronauts live in space? Eating in space is like eating on earth in some ways. Food like rice and mashed(糊状的) potatoes sticks to spoons, so it doesn’t float away. Other foods come in cans or packages(盒). So they don’t float away, either.
There is no gravity in space, so astronauts do not have to sleep on beds or the floor. They can sleep anywhere they want, and they can sleep in any position they want. They usually use sleeping bags. They simply tie their sleeping bags to a wall, or a bed. That way, they don’t float around and bump(撞) into things while they are sleeping.
Astronauts are very busy people. They have jobs to do, and they work very hard. But they also need to relax sometimes. Astronauts usually get to talk to their families on a video call once a week. They also get to stay in touch by email. Astronauts can bring chess and other games with them. Some even bring musical instruments. Astronauts also watch movies and news programmes. Sometimes they talk to schools and news reporters, too. Astronauts may have a lot of work to do, but they also find time for fun.

We all know that reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In our country, people read books at any time. They enjoy reading books even was they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike. Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books. Here are some tips on how to develop good reading habits.
Choose the books which suit you. In most middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read, like youth novels. The students themselves can also buy books which they’re interested in or the best-selling books.
Read in short periods. 15 minutes after getting to school, 15 minutes while siting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. Then you can read books for about five hours every week in total (总共).
Talk about your reading with your family or friends. This helps you have a bitter under-standing.

Thanks to better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives. It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are five rules for a healthy life.
1. Get off the sofa!
Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?
2. Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.
3. Rest while you can!
When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.
4. Do not worry. Be happy!
Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.
5. Say no to smoking!
Yes, you knew I was going to say this! It is so important .Smoking is not cool. It is dangerous. It harms nearly every part of your body. Think about how your family and friends will feel, and think about what it will do to your health.
