Have you ever complained( 抱 怨 )why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you
一个晴朗的早上，你计划散散步来放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (庄稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收获).
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (弹簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反，你应该微笑着面对困难。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:
Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.

Do you believe that people’s habits of eating can show their characters and their ways of behavior? Take a look at the following description and find out if it is true for you!
The Slow Eater
After everyone else has finished their meal, you will find this person plodding along, eating one little bite at a time. When sitting down at the table, the slow eater takes his or her sweet time—and is always the last person to finish the meal. Slow eaters are usually people who like to be in control and know how to enjoy their life. They are also usually confident and even-keeled（稳重的）. There are some health advantages of being slow eaters, for they usually have less energy intake(摄入), more easily get full and experience more enjoyable meals.
The Fast Eater
It is quite possible that you or someone else in your family fits the description of the fast eater—and if you grow up with a fast eater, you probably developed a habit of fighting for seconds. This person tends to barrel（快速行动）through meals, cleaning the plate before the rest of the table has finished even half of their meal. Away from the table, fast eaters tend to be ambitious and open to new experiences, but they probably may also be impatient.
The Adventurous Eater
An adventurer is always looking for the next gastronomic（美食的） adventure. When it comes to food, and probably other areas of life, this person is a thrill-seeker and a risk-taker. Being an adventurous eater shows one’s openness to trying new things outside of one’s comfort zone.
The Picky Eater
This person may never have grown out of their childhood likes and dislikes, or the tendency（倾向） to turn up his or her nose at an unfamiliar dishes. This eater can often be found asking a waiter if the dish can be served without sauce or with dressing on the side. And in other areas of life, these people appear to get sensitive( 敏感的) and anxious more easily than others.

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: 1.Here, we look at two examples
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.2.The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
3.Think about violinists in an orchestra ( 管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.4.Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration ( 注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. It can even help sick people get better. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.
A.Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.
B.Music helps people solve some hearing problems.
C.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.
D.Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

So they stopped there to rest for a while, and the wise man said to one of his followers, "Could you please get me some water from the lake? One of the followers walked to the lake. Some people were washing clothes in the water, and right at that moment, several carts(手推车) started crossing the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy(泥泞的).
Then he went back. and told the wise man that the water was very muddy and not good to drink. After they had rested for about half an hour, the wise man again asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. And the follower went to the lake. This time he found that all the mud had settled to the bottom. The water was very clear and looked good to drink. So he filled his water bottle and took it to the wise man.
The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. “See what you did to make the water clean?" he said. "You let it be for a while and the mud settled down on its own, so that you could get some clear drinking water. Your mind can also be like that lake when it is disturbed by something. If you just let it be and give it a little time, it will most likely settle down on its own without you having to put in any effort at all to calm it.”
