3 . Simple Ways to Give Great Praise to Motivate Everyone on Your Team
*Recognize a project hero.
Did someone on your team go the extra mile on a recent project? Is there anyone who was critical to their success?
*Notice your unsung(被埋没的)heroes.
The best way to have high performance at all levels of your team is to, “Create heroes in every role. Don't forget your unsung heroes. Make sure every role performed at a level of excellence is treated as a respected profession.” Maybe they are the lowest paid, or the ones that do the most repetitive work.
*
As your team grows, it becomes harder and harder to keep a close eye on the work of everyone on your team. What you see can be very different from the things they actually do behind the scenes.
It’s easy to catch a problem in someone’s project. Unfortunately, if you only focus on what’s wrong, you can discourage your team.
*Praise any improvement in the work.
When you’re trying to turn around an underperformer, or just coach up someone’s weakness, praise can make all the difference. It takes hard work and focus to improve at something you're struggling with.
Think about when you were a kid trying to learn to ride a bike, throw a ball, or learn to read.
A.Don't let them go unnoticed. |
B.Tie their efforts to a great purpose. |
C.Dig into their work and find something you like. |
D.You had to fail many times before you succeeded. |
E.Even the most junior person on your team deserves praise. |
F.When you’re working with your team, keep your role in mind. |
G.Actually, what you should do is more than look for what's wrong. |

I love sports. My friends and I often play football in my out-of-class activities. Today I finish my PE test. As a boy I was joined in two parts, the long jump and the 1000m race. I was better at the 1000m race, where took me 5 minutes and 20 seconds. But I didn’t do well at the long jump. I only jumped 4.5 meter. I love sports so much because they can not only make my body stronger, and also let me keep optimistic all the time. While exercised, I can get a strong sense of successful. I can get excited and confident. In word, sports are my favorites.

9 . How to Be a Good Upstairs Neighbor
One must remember to be polite when living in an apartment building. You may unintentionally bother your neighbors with actions that you think to be harmless.
Place carpets in your apartment if you have hardwood floors. Doing so is another way to decrease the sound of steps coming from an upstairs apartment. You can also put your furniture on these carpets.
Close your windows when you can. A floor is usually about three meters high, so it’s quite easy to hear your conversations.
Do your cleaning on weekend afternoons.
A.Wear slippers while in your upstairs apartment. |
B.It becomes much easier when your windows are open. |
C.No matter what you do, consider your neighbor’s requirements. |
D.There’ll be a time when you will run a cleaner to clean your room. |
E.This is especially true for those people who live above an apartment. |
F.It will disturb your downstairs neighbor who has to work the next morning. |
G.This keeps your furniture from moving around, thus limiting noise a downstairs neighbor may hear. |
10 . Angela Pozzi didn’t like seeing plastic trash washing up on the shore near her home in Bandon, Oregon. She wanted to unite her community to clean it up, so she started an organization and called it Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea.
Volunteers help clean up Oregon’s 300 miles of shoreline. Then, using only plastics from the beach cleanup, Ms Pozzi and her staff and many, many volunteers create sculptures of sea animals. Ms Pozzi says, “I want to create sculptures that, hopefully, will make people consider their plastic purchases and be aware of how so much plastic ends up in the oceans.”
Since 2010, more than 10,000 volunteers have collected 21 tons of trash and helped create more than 70 works of art. Four traveling exhibits have displayed the sculptures in more than 18 places. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, hosted an exhibit through September 2018.
People have used plastics to create life-saving medical devices, inexpensive containers and gadgets, and toys, of course. But unlike wood, cotton, and other natural materials, plastics don’t break down into anything useful to other living things. Instead, they stay for years in landfills, waterways, and the oceans. The materials are harmful to some sea animals, such as turtles, sea lions, and birds. Some of these creatures eat plastic objects that look like food. Others become entangled (被缠住) in plastic nets or packaging.
Ms Pozzi gives credit to everyone who helps. “One person didn’t create these sculptures,” she says. “Some people have picked up the plastic; others have sorted the items by color. Still others have washed each piece of plastic trash. Volunteers have drilled holes or helped to make the small wire-stitched panels, while others welded (焊接) the giant frames. I do the heads and detail work, and my staff and I take all the pieces everyone contributes to finish the work.” Says Ms Pozzi, “Until we run out of plastic on the beach, the work will continue.”
