There are nearly 400 universities and colleges in the cities along the line, making the train the top choice for most students from those schools. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open for free at night. It provides students with a lending library, free tea and other services. It’s a relaxing place for the students to continue their studies.

【推荐1】It’s common to wonder sometimes, “What if something goes wrong?” It’s important to realize that thought and manage it so that you won’t get worried.
What are “what if” thoughts? Worrying about the future is a normal part of life. From time to time, everyone wonders what would happen if something doesn’t go to plan: “What if I make a mistake?” or “What if everyone laughs at me?” These “what-if” worries focus on a negative result but not a positive one. When you spend a lot of time worrying about bad things that could happen, it’s called “catastrophising (灾难化)” because you’re imagining the future could be a catastrophic.
How does “what if” worries make you feel? Everyone worries sometimes. Spending a lot of time “what if-ing” makes you feel nervous and stressed, which might make you not want to do things. What’s worse, it will be hard to pay attention to what you’re doing or what people are saying.
How to deal with the worries? There are different ways you can help yourself. Firstly, create an “If/Then” plan. For example, IF you have to stand up in front of the class, THEN you will take three deep breaths (呼吸) and remind yourself that you have prepared and you’re OK. Secondly, you can also find out what you’re worrying about and then challenge it. For ex-ample, instead of thinking “What if I miss the ball when I try to kick it?” change that around to ask “What if I kick the ball on target (目标)?” Lastly, pay attention to something other than your worry. For example, listen to your favourite song or do some exercise.

It was Professor Albert Mehrabian who discovered that we express our feelings and attitudes（态度）with 55 percent body languages, 38 percent tone of voice and only 7 percent actual words. In other words, if I asked you how you were doing and you said “fine”, that word wouldn’t mean anything by itself. It would be your body signals and how you said it that would let me know how you were really doing.
So, can you tell when people are lying to you? Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of your brains, so
Here are some things we do to shut people out. We continually look at our watch. We fail to make eye contact. We fail to look up from the paper or away from the TV. Our body is leaning away from them.
By paying attention, we can open these important lines of communication and see the truth more clearly. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to control or lie to people, but we need to realize the signals we are giving, so we can show people that they really do matter to us.

You should try to deal with problems first by yourself, I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.”
