1 . Few things are as wonderful as visiting a beautiful natural place, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the beauty.    1    People can love a place to death if they aren’t careful. In 1990, the Leave No Trace movement attempted to help. They introduced the following principles to encourage people to both enjoy and protect the great outdoors.

Plan ahead.     2     Check the weather forecast, plan what clothing to wear, and think about a water supply. Also, check the area’s rules for use.

Throw away waste properly. Never leave garbage behind. Don’t leave your food wrappers, cans or leftovers.    3    

Respect wildlife. You should stay at least 100meters away from wildlife, so you don’t disturb any animals.     4     Protect your food so that animals can’t get into it, and don’t feed the animals on anything. Human food isn’t good for them, and becoming comfortable with humans is dangerous for them. They may forget how to survive in the wild or become less afraid of humans.

    5     Don’t make loud noises or play loud music when you’re out in natural environments. It annoys both the animals and humans. Don’t travel in large groups as it makes it troublesome for other travelers to move around on the paths.

The principles above can help everyone share the outdoors comfortably. We all need to take care of the earth we know and love.

3 . If you have a hobby or idea that currently does not fit into an existing club in your school, starting one may be a great idea.     1     Here are some ways to help you start a club.

Think

The first step of starting anything is to think.     2     It allows you to see all of your possible ideas for the club. This leads us to the next step: sharing the results of your brainstorming with people.

Judge interest

The next step of starting a club is judging interest of others. It is important to talk to friends and other students at school, because they will be the ones who finally will choose to join or stay away from your club. If they have no interest, you have no club.     3    

Think about details

    4     It probably wouldn’t be that smart to rush into a club without having thought about what you wish to achieve, how you are going to do so, the meeting times and locations and finally what you need to do to start your club.

Make it official

Then you can head to the teacher’s office and tell this teacher what your club is about, along with all details. Once he or she agrees, you will likely have to fill out some paperwork to make the club official.     5     Starting a club can be very rewarding and benefit you in ways you could not have imagined. Be patient and stick with it once you start.

4 . What Makes a Book a Classic?

People usually confuse “classical” with “classic” when it comes to literature.     1    . A work of classical literature refers only to ancient works, while classic works are great literature throughout the ages. For example, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has long been believed to be a classic piece of literature. What features do classic books have?

They have artistic quality

    2    . Some literature elements, such as metaphor and poetic language, combine together to form the artistic beauty.

    3    

A classic is usually considered to be a representative of the period in which it was written, and it deserves lasting recognition. A classic may look “old” due to pacing and dated language, but you can learn from and be inspired by it even today.

They have universal appeal

Because great works focus on themes that are understood by readers from different backgrounds and levels of experience, they can easily reach readers’ hearts. This is especially true of the themes of love, hate, death, life and faith.     4    .

They encourage lifelong readers

Because of the high quality of the characters, story and writing, readers can read a classic in their youth and gather a basic understanding of the author's themes.     5    . Rereading helps them see additional truth that they missed previously. The quality enables the work to communicate with different age groups throughout time.

5 . The art of being a good adviser

Think back to the last time you were discussing a problem at work and someone broke in to offer their opinion.     1     Probably not. Every time we rush in to give advice, we are releasing our inner “advice monster”. Sometimes it needs to be stopped, because in our hurry we are likely to give the wrong advice. So try the following steps when you have strong desire to say something.

·Be aware of its coming. The first step toward controlling the “advice monster” is to pay attention to just how quickly it appears.     2     So please think twice before your action.

·    3     Leader as you are, you can’t be the expert in everything. It's stressful to put that pressure on yourself. The answer to the problem is coaching. It involves helping others think out their own solutions to the problems, which means asking questions rather than offering advice only.

·Know something about the art of expressing. If you do decide to go ahead to ask questions or speak out answers, express them in a more acceptable way.     4    

Offering advice in the right way, you can help people acquire smarter solutions.     5     Being a better adviser, you’ll extend your influence and learn from the people who come to you for guidance.

6 . By looking at things from a different view, you can gain new understanding about problems But it can be difficult to step outside of your world and see things from someone else’s point of view.    1    

Listen to other people carefully. Imagining yourself in someone else’s experiences while talking one-on-one is a great way to experience a different point of view. When you talk with other people, listen closely. Make sure to listen even if you don’t share their opinions and make eye contact while they are talking.    2    Let them know you are listening.

Respect people’s differences.    3    Whenever you interact with someone else, take a moment to remind yourself that they may not share your worldview and that is okay. For example, you might have a coworker who performs a specific task different from what you do. His approach might be very different, but still effective.

Think about how you would feel in another person’s situation. If you meet someone who has experienced a misfortune, imagine how you would feel if you had a similar experience? Why might you feel that way?    4     These questions lead you to build empathy to others.

    5    For example, if you work at a local homeless shelter and hear about the stories people there share about steeping on the street, then you might begin to feel fortunate for having a roof over your head and a bed to sleep. Tasting different people’s experiences is another great way to gain opinion.

8 . Have you ever thought that settling even the smallest disagreement between you and your friend may become a battle, a tug-of-war over who is right and who is wrong?     1     But what matters is how we manage the conflicts（冲突）.Here are some rules we can follow to reach a win-win situation.

Rule 1: respect

Everyone should be treated with respect, even during an argument.     2    You should tell him or her to stop. If your friend keeps doing so, walk away, because you do not want to continue. Respect has to be eared. If you want people to respect you, do the same.

Rule 2: negotiate

To negotiate is to tlk about the problem peacefully and try to reach an agreement. Fist you and your fiend should hold a correct attitude. Then analyze the needs of two sides. At last. give solutions     3    It means each side has aright to solve the conflict

Rule 3:listen

When everyone is talking, who does the listening? We are used to talking without listening. during which we only focus on ourselves and are likely to hurt others' feelings. Actually listening is more important than talking. Listen to understand, not to reply.     4     .

    5    : Please remember that "our way" isn't always the best. Next time when you have different opinions with your friend, try thinking win-win and this will fill your heart with positive thoughts and protect your friendship.

9 . Whether you’re trying to persuade your kid to turn off the TV or your boss to give you a raise, how do we win the bargaining game? By being persuasive!    1     How can you be more persuasive — at home, at work, in your relationships? By using the 4 Ps.

Purpose

For example, do you want a 20 percent salary increase? Do you want your kid to limit video games to 45 minutes a day? Having a clear purpose in mind makes you confident because being clear does not allow for confusion or mixed messages.    2    

Preparation

This step is commonly overlooked (忽略) as we make request What’s the why behind your purpose? For example, if you want a raise, how much money are people in your role being paid at different companies? How have you gone above and beyond in your position over the past twelve months?    3     Preparation puts you in the strongest situation possible.

Presenting benefits

When we want someone to do something, we want to present the decision in their best interest. Once I was bargaining a conference room in a nice hotel and wanted to pay less. I didn’t mention my limited budget. I didn’t talk about my needs. What I did was to tell the manager that my guests would come to her hotel, see its amazing facilities, and even consider hosting their own conferences there.    4     My aim was to get a 20 percent discount. I got 30 percent. Win-win for all!

Patience

We are too likely to quit and leave dissatisfied from any bargaining. After more than ten years in sales, I can tell you that the best salesmen are patient enough. It’s true that success is a patience game.    5
