Choosing a nice mountain bike for you is easier than learning how to ride it. Keep these tips in mind:
Decide how you are going to use your new mountain bike.
Are you a new rider who simply wants to travel outdoors on the weekend,weather permitting?Do you intend to test yourself on the rough roads,every day,rain or shine?Or are you going to use your new mountain bike to ride to and from school or work?Be honest about your intentions,and you’re more than half way toward choosing the right mountain bike for you.
Visit your local bike shops.
Any good bike shop will stock a wide range of quality mountain bikes in all price points and sizes. Your local bike shops will carry more than one brand of bicycle. Not only will they sell you a mountain bike that suits your needs,but they will service what they sell. Visit at least a few shops. You’ll get one that satisfies you right away.
Don’t be bashful.
Tell your salesperson how you intend to use your new mountain bike,and how much you are willing to spend. Your salesperson will show you a selection of models and brands accordingly. He or she will also help you determine the right size for you. You may ask more without any sense of shyness.
Take a test ride.
All good bike shops let customers take test rides. There’s a good reason for this beyond “trybeforeyoubuy” salesmanship. Since you already know your price range and find the right size,you now have to find out which brand you ride best. They want you to be happy with your purchase. After only a few test rides from more than one bike shop,the right mountain bike will choose you.

Compared to people with bad attitudes,people who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds,according to a new study.“It’s possible that being upbeat helps the body fight illnesses,” says Sheldon Cohen,the study’s lead researcher from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.
In a previous(先前的) study,Cohen and his colleagues put coldcausing viruses into the noses of 334 healthy adults. People who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles,coughs,and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors,even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
Those findings were interesting,but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead,it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters. Evidence suggests,for instance,that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic,with high selfesteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are,not how we feel,ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions),the CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. At the end of the interviewing period,people got nose drops that contained either cold or flu viruses. Then,each person stayed in an isolated room for 5 or 6 days. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms,however,differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks. Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus,for example,28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand,those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less upbeat.

Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.
In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.
It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field—physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.
