     We do some strange things when we don't like the way our life is going. Too often we blame (埋怨)
someone else.
     "I wish my parents were more understanding."
     "I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!"
     "My friends are so boring and self-centered. They make my life worse and worse."
     Blame! Blame! Blame!
     It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don't like your life, you should do
something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your
mind correctly. You are the only one with the power (能力) to change your life, and if you want it to be
different, you can change what you're doing. This means asking "What do I need? What do I want to do?"
instead of trying to meet others' needs. For example, try to decide how you want to spend your evening
instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated. If you
don't think of our own needs, no one else will either.
     When you're in trouble, don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose
how you want to think and act. Other people can't make you unhappy or angry. They only act in their
own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond (回应). For example, your friends go
out to lunch without you. You feel angry. How are you going to act? You may blame your friends …
"They are not kind. Who needs them anyway?" or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their
explanation (解释), and let them know you'd like to be invited next time.
     When you decide everything in your own way, you're getting hold of your own life and shaping it
according to your tastes and feelings. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an
interesting life. When you blame others for what is or isn't happening in your life, you have stopped
growing or learning.
     One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action. The
only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person then
has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want change in your life, begin with
yourself … put love into your power to take action.

     We are all asked to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job.
This article gives us some suggestions on how to make an excellent speech.
     Usually people are often afraid of making a speech in public. You get nervous, you forget what you want
to say, you talk too long, and you get your audience bored. Later you think, "Thank Goodness! It's over. I'm
just not good at public speaking. I hope I will never have to do that again."
     Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that hard. Here are some simple steps to make preparations. Firstly, ask
yourself the purpose of your speech. Why are you speaking? Secondly, collect as many facts as you can on
your subject. Thirdly, spend enough time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to
follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts and graphs (图表) if they help make your
points clearer. Lastly, never forget your audience. Treat your audience with respect. They will be thankful.
      Just remember! Be prepared. Know your subject and your audience. Be brief. Say what you have to say
and then stop. And see yourself. Let your personality (个性) come through so that you make person to person
contact (联系) with your audience.
      If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don't have to be  afraid of speaking in public. In
fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!

     We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment.
Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can
make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live green life.
     Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. 
     Reduce means"use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going
into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will
be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many
things from abroad.
    Reuse means"use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last
a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead
of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china
cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
    Recycle means"change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into
something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your
neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled
materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
                                                   Title: 1_____  to Live a Green Life
          We produce waste every day and it is 2_____ to us. We can do something to help.
