As a singer and a song writer, Alanis Morissette is used to be in the public eye. Her most famous album Jagged Little Pill, came out in 1995. It was sold so well that she was world famous.
Last Thursday night, hundreds of fans went to Alanis Morissette’s concert in the Corn Exchange for funs. The 30-years-old singer has a strong fan base in England. There was not a empty seat anywhere in the concert hall at last Thursday’s event. “Although it’s cold outside, but I hope we’ll warm it up for you,” Morissette said to the large crowd waited for him to play. During the concert, Morissette used a lot of songs from her award-winning album “Jagged Little Pill” and a few songs from her new album, such as “Everything But…”, and her singing was full of feeling. It was obvious many people in the crowd were long-time fans and sang along to nearly every song. Throughout the concert, the atmosphere inside the concert hall was extremely exciting. Everyone agreed that Morissette’s brilliant music and singing had a great impression on them.
3 . Yoga(瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practicing yoga, you no longer just practice it--you love it.
Yoga becomes part of your physical(身体的) life. Your body grows stronger, more toned(有弹性的), and more flexible as you move from one pose(姿势) to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps keep a balanced metabolism(新陈代谢), and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches(伸展;舒展) muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.”
I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling tired at the end of the day, I do restorative(恢复体力的) poses.
Yoga becomes part of your mental(精神的) life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it removes stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.
You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energetic, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In fact in yoga, you can be part of the poses by letting go of the tension and stress.

4 . Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids(孩子) to? Try some of these places:
Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids’ interest. Many offer workshops(研习班) for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children’s favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.
Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.
Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts-Puppet(木偶) making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.
Try hands-on(亲身实践的) science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They’ll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.
