What do you think being beauty really means? All answers to that question are correct, because there are no right or wrong replies. Despite(不管) what society tries to make us believe, there is no “ideal” beauty. There are exact standards—hair colour, or eye colour—that make someone beautiful. Think about it: did you consider someone to be really beautiful, but your friend didn’t see it? That’s because what’s attractive to one person isn’t necessarily going to be attractive to another. So how can we believe that there’s a standard for beauty? It makes no sense.

Weight-loss companies and clothing industries seem to have made it their goal to get us believe that we are not enough and that we need all kinds of things to be prettier. It’s not true! Companies sell us this ideas for their products to make money. I’m not saying that buying beauty products is bad, but what would be bad is using them because you feel like you have to look a certain way in order to be “beautiful”.

Remember, the people wear tons of make-up and are photoshopped in order to look perfect. When you see a girl who society considers as a “great body”, you have to remember that people have different body types and everyone’s body is different. We’re all beautiful, whether we’re slim, thickset or anywhere in between. If you want to lose weight, go ahead, but do it in a healthy way and do it for the right reason—not because you want to fit in. Being comfortable with yourself is really important, and being with others who accept you as you are and don’t ask you to change to look a specific(特定的) way is important too.

I used to be the messiest (凌乱的) person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trying again and again, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.

Make a general list of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all steps that need to be completed and think about what needs to be done.

Detail everything completely and read it over so you can start coming up with some good ideas of how to carry out your plans.

You should make sure that if, for some reason, way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to depend on. So, different ways are needed at hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the others will.

Don’t try to solve more things all at a time. All that does is to slow your progress, take away your attention and make you lose your interest and energy.

Carrying out an effective (有效的) plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not changing or trying to do more at a time.

Last but not least, you should never give up things halfway. It will only make everyone around you angry, including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money.

So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

Spring is here, the colourful flowers are seen everywhere but it is a pity that many of us are not able to smell them while enjoying the colourful flowers.

Growing levels of air pollution from the factories and cars have reduced flower fragrances(芳香) by up to 90 percent in the US, compared with pre-industrial levels 100 years ago.

But if the trend is simply unpleasant for human noses, it may be life-dangerous for bees and butterflies.

Many insects find flowers by following the scent produced by those flowers.

The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to find the flowers and feed on their nectar (花蜜).

Scientists have already found that flowers produce scent molecules (气味分子) that mix with polluted things, which breaks down the plants’ sweet smell.

With more pollution in the air, the scent molecules don’t remain powerful as long and travel shorter distances on the wind. In the mid-19th century, when pollution levels were first recorded, scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters. Today, in the polluted air of large cities, scents may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.

Also, pollution from polluted air may fool the bee’s “nose”, making their search for flowers all the more difficult.

In a paper published recently in Scientific Reports, scientists said that the nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in polluted air could change many chemicals that work together to give a flower its special smell.

“This”, researchers said, “could prevent honeybees from reaching their flowers and prevent the pollination (授粉) of some of the world’s food crops.” Or, this could put in danger agricultural harvests worldwide.

But the bees seem to have learned to get used to the changing world. “In nature honeybees use their special eyes and flower smell to find out where a flower is for the first time,” the researchers said.

1.According to the article, researchers have recently found that ________.

A.reduced flower fragrances have resulted in the dying out of many bees and butterflies

B.reduced flower fragrances are connected to growing levels of air pollution

C.polluted things in the air prevent flowers from producing scent molecules

D.A growing number of power plants and cars.

3.The scent molecules a plant produces are mainly to ________.

A.help flowers to produce nectar B.prevent insects from eating the plant

C.draw attention from bees and butterflies D.clear up polluted things in the air

A.future food crops won’t depend on bees to complete their pollination

B.bees have great advantages in their senses compared to humans

C.world food crop production is likely to fall greatly in the near future
