Do you know what a team needs most? If people on your team are not good at communication, you may often feel terrible. To create a successful team, good communication is the most necessary for both the team members and the leader. Here are some helpful suggestions.
| ①Don’t criticize (批评) other people. When someone on your team does something wrong, don’t criticize them. You can help them to find the reasons and then help them to solve the problem. Criticizing your team members too often may make them want to keep away from you. As a result, you may feel lonely. | ②Listen to other people actively and think about their ideas carefully. When someone tells you about their ideas, you should listen to them actively and think about their ideas carefully, no matter how silly they may seem. This shows you are interested in their ideas and makes them feel good. If you are unclear about something, you should ask them about it. By doing this you can clear up any confusion (困惑) before moving on. |
| ③Share your own ideas with other people. When you have a new idea, talk about it with your team members. This helps to make the idea better. Besides, it also helps to make your relationships with your team members better. | ④Create an environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts and opinions without fear. This builds trust, leading to a more harmonious (和谐的) team. By the way, regular (定期的) team meetings should be held to discuss something important and necessary. |

【推荐3】On a street in New Orleans is an old building. It used to be a grocery store. But now it is empty. On the boards covering the windows are stickers. Each sticker says "I wish this was. . . ". Someone has written " full of food" on one of the stickers.
When we think of public art, we often think of sculptures or other large works of art in city centers. Candy Chang’s public art, however, is somewhere else. Chang makes her art in a city's older or poorer neighborhoods. She uses the outside walls of empty buildings as her painting cloth. She paints, writes messages, or puts stickers on them. Chang wants to reach out to people with her art. She sees it as the start of a conversation - a conversation with local people.
In 2010, Chang started the "I Wish This Was" project in New Orleans. Chang asked people to look at the abandoned buildings in their community. She wanted them to think about what else could be there. She printed hundreds of small stickers and stuck them on these buildings. The stickers said "I wish this was" in large letters and included a space for people to write. Anyone could write anything. Chang was amazed at the reaction. Hundreds of people wrote on the stickers. Someone wrote, "I wish this was a grocery store." Another person wrote, "I wish this was Heaven".
There are many abandoned buildings in neighborhoods around the world. It’s hard for people to create a close neighborhood if the streets are full of empty buildings. By making art that gives people a voice, Chang hopes to build stronger communities. Chang's art projects get people thinking and talking about problems in their community. This initiative may help city planners to create better cities - ones that truly meet the needs of people.

【推荐1】What do Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Julius Caesar and Napoleon have in common? They were all left-handed! Beginning early in history, left-handed people were feared and punished because using the left hand was considered to be impolite. Because of the wrong idea about the left, left-handed people were forced to change their habit.
Researchers studying the brain have found differences between the left side and right side of the brain. They believe that people who use more of the left side of their brain tend to（倾向于）be more intelligent. They also tend to use language better and solve problems faster. However, one study also showed that left-brain people tend to have worse memories.
So, which side of the brain do left-handers use? Actually, both. Right-handed people use the left side of the brain more, while left-handed people use both sides of the brain almost equally. The part connecting the two halves（等分）of the brain is usually larger in left-handed people. The left side of the brain controls speech, language writing and science. The right side controls music, creativity and emotion. Since the left-handers use both sides, they are often both creative and scientific.
Thankfully, parents and teachers no longer treat left-handedness as a problem to be solved. It may actually help a child become excellent! If allowed to learn and develop in their own way, left-handers will be excellent at school. Perhaps one of these left-handers might turn out to be the next Einstein or da Vinci.

【推荐2】A 500-kilometer journey toward the north! Last year 15 wild Asian elephants left their home in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province. Since then they have kept going north, moving through fields and towns.
People wonder why the elephants are on the move and where they are heading to. Someone suggested that the elephants need more space and food or they are losing their home. Another idea suggests that a change in Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) has made the elephants think that they should move.
Along their journey, the elephants have hurt 561, 333 square meters of farms and cost nearly 6.8 million yuan.
The government is trying to protect the safety of both humans and the elephants. They have fed the elephants much food in order to guide them away from city areas. They have also watched the group’s journey carefully and asked people not to get close to joke or scare the elephants. Some have suggested drugging (打麻药) the elephants and taking them back home. But scientists say this is a bad idea. “One possible way is to use friendly ways to change the elephants direction (方向) or lead the animals back to their home with food.” said Chen Mingyong, a teacher at Yunnan University.
Saving the Asian elephant
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. These endangered animals are under Class-A protection in China. The elephants usually stand at 5 to 6 meters and weigh 3 to 5 tons. They are fierce animals and sometimes hurt people.
Yunnan is the only home for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves (保护区). The population of the Asian elephant in China has risen from 170 in the 1970s to 300 today.

【推荐3】One day you open the fridge and find some moldy (发霉的) food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn’t want to waste food. She cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?
Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad.
If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs usually has water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface (表面) . Bacteria (细菌) can also grow along with it.
But it’s easy to take away mold from hard food. Mold can’t grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2. 5cm around and below the mold to clear it. It’s OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is totally covered with mold, you should still throw it away.
Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillin (青霉菌) can be used to make many types of cheeses, and they’re quite delicious as well.

【推荐1】Does it seem like everyone you know is, too busy, or tired? Do you feel like you never have time to just relax? Do you daydream about being on vacation? Well, you are not alone. Most people have too much to do, and too little time. It is not surprising that stress(压力) is a common part of everyone’s life.
We often think that a vacation will help us relax. But most of us find that after a few days back at work or school, we feel the usual stress. The question is: how can we make relaxation and leisure(休闲) time part of our daily lives? Here are some ways to reduce stress in your everyday life.
Exercise! Exercise is one of the simplest and best ways to reduce stress. When we exercise, our body produces natural relaxants into our bloodstreams. Our stress level is then reduced. If your day is stressful, take 20 minutes or more for a walk, a bike ride, or a sport.
Get enough sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, you may feel more nervous or get angry more easily. In addition, you will have a harder time concentrating(集中注意力) and doing your work. When you can’t work well, you create stress for yourself.
Enjoy a sense of humor. It is good to have a good laugh about something that relaxes us. Laughter breaks worry and helps us take a break. Take time to read the cartoon stories in the newspaper, watch a funny TV play or movie, or trade jokes with a friend.
Eat properly. If you don’t eat healthy food, your body will feel tired and run down. Eat normal meals, and don’t eat too much sugary food. Sugar gives quick energy, but soon you will feel tired again.
Practice relaxation methods. There are many different relaxation methods that can help you reduce stress. Some methods just take a few minutes, and can be done at any time during the day. Other methods require more time, and space for quiet time. Some common relaxation methods are: deep breathing and thinking, imagining peaceful scenes, massage(按摩), or yoga(瑜伽).
Make time for some free time activity every day. What do you like to do to relax you? Is there something you enjoy doing that always makes you feel less stressful? Think about hobbies or activities that give you pleasure.

【推荐2】At present, a number of people are chasing fashion. They spend much money chasing fashion. At the same time, it brings us negative effects (负面影响) that may influence the development of our society.
What’s fashion? The meaning of fashion can not be explained by a simple word. Everyone has a different understanding of fashion. Some people think that popularization is fashion, and some people think that highlighting personality (彰显个性) is fashion. In fact, fashion is a popular style (of clothes, behavior, etc. ) at a given time or place. Fashion is changing constantly, so it’s always different.
It’s not necessary for young people to follow fashion. One should have his own style. One should be changing himself to the situation, but it doesn’t mean that he should follow fashion. We should consider whether fashion is helpful. I think that following it has more disadvantages than advantages. To follow fashion is to waste money, energy and time. If you follow fashion, you’ll lose your own style. If everyone follows the same fashion, there won’t be differences in the world.
