【推荐1】Studies say that people nowadays have more free time than ever before. Then why doesn’t it feel that way? These days, our free time is usually spent watching television, using computers or communicating on our phones. To really help us increase our energy levels, it is important to use our free time wisely.
Set up your goal. Think about what you want to achieve in your free time. Do you want to get fit, get creative or simply relax? Don’t worry about what you should do. Just think about what will make you feel more satisfied.
Set a date. Plan when you are going to enjoy your free time, and treat it in the same way as anything else on your calendar. If something else more important comes along you can choose whether or not to postpone it, but never cancel it!
Do what you want. Many people worry too much about their free time activities. They want to do things that will make their friends surprised, or help them get a better job. But free time isn’t about that. It is about doing an activity for fun, so don’t let outside pressures influence your choice.
________ You’ll really know you’re using your time wisely if what you’re doing helps other people. So find out what’s going on in your community and lend a hand. Visit the elderly or help out in a children’s club. If socializing is not your thing, why not volunteer for a wildlife organization?

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94％ correct, depending on(依靠) how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

Floodwaters may not look all that dangerous on TV, especially if you’re a skilled swimmer. But flash floods, like what recently happened in Sichuan, are actually very dangerous. They can happen with almost no warning.
Prevention is always your best chance of living through a flash flood. Flash floods can happen without clear signs like clouds and heavy rain.
If you see floodwaters, avoid all moving water, even if it seems to be very shallow.
If you have no choice but to walk through water, go where the water is shallow and isn’t moving. If necessary use a stick to check the depth as you walk. As you make your way to higher ground, avoid touching or getting near electrical equipment.
If you get swept away by floodwaters, catch or climb onto something as soon as you are able.
