2 . Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.
J. K. Rowling (J.K.罗琳), writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan (罗纳德.里根) began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh (文森特·威廉·梵高) was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.

5 . Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.
◇Be calm (冷静). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.
◇Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
◇ ▲ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

8 . When watching a movie or play, people expect the actors to be like the characters that they play. For example, if a character is a woman, one would expect an Asian actor or actress to play the character, right? Not in the old days!
Until recently, more and more people agree that actors should match the character that he or she played. For example, think about the characters in Shakespeare’s plays. All of his famous plays included women characters. But all of the actors in Shakespeare’s day were men or boys. It was 44 years after Shakespeare’s death before a woman acted in one of his plays.
In addition, many characters in movies have not been given to actors who look like the characters. For example, the Indian movie Mary Kom is about a famous fighter from a small town. The choose to play Mary Kom was a beautiful Indian actress. But she did not look anything like the real Mary Kom.
However, in 1998, Disney chose an Asian—American lady to play the character of movie Mulan, a black actress was chosen for the voice of the main character. These were important changes in the actor choosing.
There are many different cultures in the world. Movies need to show this and use actors that match their characters. People of different cultures can also have a different view of the world. This helps the characters they play be more acceptable.
