1 . Born in Zigong, Southwest China' s Sichuan province, Zhang Meili, 22, comes from a poor but loving family. Zhang was deeply impressed by the film Shaolin Temple in her childhood. So she grew a desire to learn martial arts when she was 12 years old.

In 2017, Zhang entered Chengdu Sport University with excellent grades to study sanda, also known as Chinese kickboxing. In 2020, after graduating from college, she chose bodyguard（保镖）as her future job. After three months of basic training in Chengdu, Zhang went to Beijing to further her study.

After special training for bodyguards in Beijing, Zhang Meili underwent training in hundreds of subjects, such as striking, fighting, and special driving. She gradually became a qualified female bodyguard and was hired as a teacher to teach security and defense training programs.

Female bodyguards have to spend more effort and have a tougher time than the male bodyguards during training. However, in Zhang's view, compared with male bodyguards, women also have many advantages: they are usually sensitive and careful; their movements are lighter and quicker; their employment rate is much higher than that of male bodyguards.

With the fast development of China's economy, the demand for bodyguards is increasing day by day. Zhang Meili hopes more and more people can understand this job and more women can become bodyguards. In addition, she says she will work harder to make contributions to this career.

8 . If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.

Every year it's the same.As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life.But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year.You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here's a suggestion: Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones.“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps. Even though it's so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can't find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes(态度). During World War Ⅱ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding(重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it“Kaizen”, which means”improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it: “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

Dear Dr Lisa，

My name is Ann. I am 13 and worried about my weight.I want to be a model,but I store lots of fat in my face,legs and stomach. I look at myself in the mirror,and then go into my room and Cry. I'm scared to talk about it. My parents' comforting words just don't ring true to me. My friends are shocked when they find out how much I weigh. I don't know what to do. I've diagnosed(诊断)myself with BDD(body dysmorphic disorder 躯体变形障碍症),too.

Yours，

Ann

Dear Ann，

I am worried about your problem.So much worry at 13. That was me, too, hating my body. So I understand a little of how you feel. I was 21 when I got help and I wish I’d got earlier. I wish someone had told me that as you enter the teenage years,your body changes and so does your brain, and that the things troubling you now just won't be problems as you get older.

The way you feel about yourself appears to be about your physical appearance,but it's this self-hatred(自我憎恨) that needs to be worked out. Then you will see your confidence grow.

Since you're in your teenage years,you are very probably not "done growing”,so you needn't diet at this age. Eat healthily and exercise within reason. Being thin or pretty doesn't make you feel better inside.Besides,remember that proper diagnosis of BDD can only come from an expert. Don’t worry about that.

Hope I've helped.

Yours，

Lisa
