1 . For many people, they wouldn’t travel around without taking photos with their phones or cameras. And then they often post them online to share with others. However, I went on holiday last month and didn’t take any photos. That was not because I wasn’t having a good time. In fact, I had the best experience ever and lots of good memories（记忆）.
My two weeks’ stay was really relaxing. Without the tiring job of trying to take perfect photos of every ancient building and delicious meal, I had more time to truly enjoy the moment.
________ However, it’s not the fact. You’re just making up that memory by doing so.
Linda Henkel, a teacher at Fairfield University, carried out a study in 2014 with 28 university students. She asked those students to watch 15 objects（物体）with their own eyes and take photos of 15 others in a museum. The next day, they had less memory of the objects that they had taken photos of. Linda said it was because they believed that the camera would “remember” things for them, so they wouldn’t watch the objects carefully.
Unluckily, most of us are just like the students. We aren’t able to enjoy the moment because of taking too many photos. So maybe it’s time that we should put down our phones more often in order to enjoy the holiday with our loved ones.

2 . What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody says it’s work. Others suggest it’s knowledge, love or luck.
If you put the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent（代表）each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So work becomes 23+15+18+11=67.67 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us 100 marks. What about money? It can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, “attitude” is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark!
Different attitudes lead to different ways of living a life. Most of the time people hope for a better life. It is possible that we will have a better life if we change our attitudes. When you change your behavior and become friendly to others, you’ll meet more smiling faces to you. In the same way, if you take a positive（积极的）attitude facing failure, you’ll find it’s also helpful to you though it has made you lose something.
