1 . Common Mistakes New Runners Make
Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. However, many make a number of common mistakes, which can interfere (妨碍) with training or lead to injury.
·Doing too much too soon
One of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon. Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue on with your new running routine
·
Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Running is a high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body. So it’s important to give your body a rest between workouts.
·Not wearing the right equipment
•Running through pain
| A．Not taking rest days |
| B．If you’re just starting out |
| C．Comparing yourself to others |
| D．Running can be uncomfortable at times |
| E．It’s important not to use the same muscles |
| F．While it may be true that you don’t need expensive equipment to take up running |
| G．Experts suggest increasing your running distance by no more than 10% each week |
2 . How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions(常规) when they block your forward path. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success.
That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult.
Take risks.
To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition.
Never do anything that bores you.
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leaves you alone. I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike.
It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists, because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them objectionable.
So my final rule is:
| A．Avoid foolish people. |
| B．Meet challenges with great courage. |
| C．If you can’t stand being with your real peers, get out of science. |
| D．Put it another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top. |
| E．Make sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess. |
| F．In fact, I find it hard to do well in something I like. |
| G．Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes. |
3 . I’m often asked how to study English effectively. I think this means getting the most out of your study time, and that means variety.
Study Every Day
It’s important to study English every day. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张)!
A Little Grammar, a Little Listening, a Little Reading, and a Little Writing.
Give yourself one grammar goal when reading a new article or watching a new video. For example, try to write down each example of a form you are studying such as the present perfect. Use colored pens to highlight (使.....突出) forms that you are studying.
Use Different Learning Methods
Don’t just use one way to study English. Use many kinds of methods which will make all the parts of your brain help you.
Find Some Friends
You can practice the exercises together, have conversations together (in English), and, as you study English together, help each other with exercises you may not understand.
| A．Forget Grammar |
| B．Review Grammar as You Watch or Read |
| C．Here are some simple exercises to help you warm up |
| D．Here are some basic ideas to help you as you study English |
| E．Study for thirty minutes every day instead of two hours once a week |
| F．Make sure that you study a number of areas rather than focusing on just one |
| G．For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, create a word map, describe a picture, make a list... |

5 . Chinese delivery driver, Gao Zhixiao, was featured on the cover of Time magazine in March because of his sense of commitment. Alongside five others, he was picked by the magazine as one of heroes among the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Ever since COVID-19 broke out, many restaurants shut down or switched to takeout-only services. Millions of people have been staying at home to avoid getting infected. “People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home,” Gao told Time. As a result, delivery orders dramatically increased, placing a huge burden on delivery company.
Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Gao started to make a living in Beijing at age 16. After the novel coronavirus broke out, Gao hesitated for a second to continue working, but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be in need.
Due to the danger of person-to-person transmission, Gao must take care to avoid spreading viruses during his route around Beijing, including taking a regular health test and spending 20 minutes disinfecting his motorcycle and clothes each morning. Besides delivering goods, Gao once willingly cooked for an elderly customer who was living alone at her home.
It is the commitment of ordinary people like Gao that has made the biggest contributions in the fight against COVID-19.

We have a pit bull(比特犬). We found him a few weeks ago, walking along the road in a rural area. He tried jumping on cars, and we thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still in the same place, again, trying to get folks to stop for him. When he saw us, he lay down in the middle of the road, so we were unable to get around him.
We stopped the car and looked around for a few minutes, trying to figure out if anyone was around from whom he was separated. It didn’t appear so. Then, we took a good look at the dog. He had no collar and he was really thin. We decided he was deserted.
My husband sad, “If he doesn’t bite me when I try to pick him up to put him in the car, then we have a new dog.” The dog happily joined us with no fight at all. The only thing we were in danger of was getting licked to death. He kept sticking his head between the two front seats and thanking us for picking him up.
The dog was clearly on the road for some time, He was extremely under weight. He was covered in scars and new wounds. We have guessed that some of the scars were from when he was on the road. We thought of possible fights with coyotes(土狼), but he also looked as though he was used to fighting other dogs. We figured his incredibly sweet personality was the reason why he was deserted. He can’t have been a good fighting dog.
Therefore, we fed him a lot over the course of the next two weeks and he gained over twenty pounds.

Does the university you attend or the major you choose determine your success in the future? According up to a recent survey done by China Youth Daily, 48.6 percent of participants believe that the university one goes to plays a important role in shaping their future. On the other hand, 33.8 percent of people held the view that it's what you do in the university which matters. For some students, they think that a prestigious university does bring many benefit. Without access to academic training, in college, she wouldn't have successfully got their invaluable experience. However, others believe that choose the right major has much weight than choosing a good university. Both the university and one's major are important, and they don't necessary determine your life. It's what one has learned that matters.
