1 . Reflecting on your day is something most of you feel too busy to do. Yet, without it, you’re left continuing to feel at a loss and unable to live intentionally.
Create a Plan
Show up Consistently
It means that you regularly reflect on your day — not just randomly, when you remember or aren’t busy. Daily reflection can become a habit if you do it enough in the beginning. Sit down every day for 10-50 minutes and reflect.
Do a Brain Dump (清空)
Think about your room you need to clean: you start by taking everything out of the room and putting it into another room; then you decide what to add back, item by item.

2 . When we were kids, if our parents wanted us to stop the screen time, they would turn off the TV.
First, limit the time they use screens.
And third, hide the screen device. That one may not seem very fair.
Ultimately, the best way to help kids recognize how much is too much screen time is to limit our own. Yeah, you may have to stare at one all day for your job, but do you really have to come home and immediately turn on the TV or answer that email on your phone? Don’t think your kids aren’t taking excuses from your actions.

G.But the phrase “out of sight, out of mind” actually works sometimes. |
3 . Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If we take away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes,we can still survive.
How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods.
What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.
A.On the other hand, doing exercise is very important. |
B.There are some people who like staying alone, but they keep healthy. |

D.But if our health was taken away, it is certain that we would surely die. |
E.I only eat little meat. |
F.I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy. |
G.Some people appear fat because they often eat too much. |
4 . In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online.
Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.
Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.
Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.
A.Start simply. |
B.Break it into small pieces. |
C.Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper. |
D.Many websites are considered very interesting. |
E.Before you start building your site, do some planning. |
F.Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. |
G.These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. |
