Effective Ways to Be Successful at Events
The holiday season is upon us，and I’m frequently asked for my event success tips. Well，it all begins with taking care of one’s own spirit and keeping a positive attitude. The following are practical things that anyone can do. 1.
·Greet everyone and wish them well. 2. You’re a team，for you’re all present in that location together，for the whole process of the event. So open up and join the team from the beginning.
·Shine your own light. Never mind what or how others are doing. 3. Put away the iPhone，iPad etc. and be present with your own light so that it shines purely.
·4. Express thanks for the weather，the furniture，the other people attending the event，and the opportunity to be there. Express thanks to those who spare time to talk with you. Of course if it’s a big event，you won’t get to everyone，but include those near you.
·Keep a sense of happiness throughout the event. People attending events tend to be attracted by happy souls. Your sense of happiness will positively influence those around. So I always keep my sense of humor while at events. 5.
If you do these small things regularly during events，I’m sure you will enjoy yourself and become a star.
A. Give thanks throughout the event.
B. Make eye contact and start conversations.
C. You should be polite when attending events.
D. It can make people laugh and spread happiness.
E. Follow them and increase your success at events.
F. Be yourself，offer what you can offer，and stay focused.
G. Concentrating on what isn’t there will not improve conditions.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once upon a time in my family，the Saturday after Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粽子)－making party. We made them to share with friends and neighbors.
Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn husks(外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for folding. The next day，the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncles were on hand for cleanup duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk，and each tamale folded carefully so it would not split open during steaming.
According to the long－standing tradition—at least in my family—no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all，no one wanted a bad tamale!
I thought the family tamale－making party would go on forever，but to continue a family__tradition，you needed to have family. Mine had changed forever. My father，two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mom and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked，“Are we going to get tamales this year？” Passing tamales out to friends was one of the great joys of the season，after all. But we couldn’t face it. Eventually，as the years went by，people stopped asking.
One afternoon，just before Thanksgiving，my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough，bags of corn husks，dried spices—all the materials for a perfect tamale. “It’s time，” Mom said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen，just the two of us，alone with our thoughts.

4 super－simple secrets to living longer，healthier and happier
Journalist Dan Buettner has spent over a decade studying the healthiest，longest－living people around the world，from residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa to the Greek island of Ikaria—so－called “Blue Zones”.
Now，he’s letting the rest of us in on their secrets in his new book，The Blue Zones Solution：Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People. Here are the most important longevity－boosting habits of 100－year－olds around the globe. 1.
1. Find your group
“Who you hang out with beats just about everything else when it comes to your health，” says Buettner. He found that the people who live longest surround themselves with people who support healthy behaviors. 2.
2. Eat smart
The world’s healthiest 100－year－olds stick with diets that are 95 percent plant－based，says Buettner. 3. British researchers tracked 65，000 people for 12 years and found that those who ate seven or more portions of vegetables and fruits every day lowered their risk of dying from cancer and cardiovascular (心脑血管的) disease by 25 percent and 31 percent.
3. Seek a purpose
Very old Blue Zoners share another quality: They have an activity，passion or career that motivates them and gives their lives meaning. Sense of purpose can come from a variety of sources，but volunteering is a common one. 4.
4. Move it
5. What is unexpected: “They don’t exercise，per se(本质上)，” says Buettner. “Instead，their lifestyles encourage physical activity. ” They garden，bake bread and walk to the store or to work.
A. “They eat a little meat，but mostly fish，” he says.
B. They’re still working，riding bikes，and enjoying life.
C. For some people，a sense of purpose comes naturally.
D. It’s no surprise that physical activity also keeps Blue Zoners young.
E. One explanation：“Health habits can spread like an infectious disease. ”
F. Adopt even a few，and you’ll stand a better chance of living a long and healthy life.
G. There’s growing evidence that it not only keeps people healthier but helps people live longer.
