16.When you leave school,you  can  breathe  a sigh  of relief  and  leave  learning  behind,right?Wrong!Learning should last a lifetime.You exercise your body to stay strong,and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.
An English idiom says,"You can't teach an old dog new tricks."But scientists have discovered that isn't true.Older people can learn,and they should keep their brain active.Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning.Adults can attend One Day University.They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70minute lectures.Each one is given by a top university professor.One of the original participants said,"It's like a health club for the brain."Also,universities like MIT have made all of the courses and lectures available online for free!Libraries offer learning programs too.With so much available,there is no excuse not to learn!
Learning is a habit.Don't leave it behind after you leave school.On the website lifehack.org,author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.
Always have a book.It doesn't matter whether you read fast or slow.Just read.If you read just one book a week,you'll read 52over the course of a year.Think of the knowledge you'll gain!
Practice it.As you read,do something with what you've learned.Don't just enjoy the mental exercise.Use the knowledge.If you read about painting,try it.
Make a"to learn"list.Compose a"to learn"list for yourself.Maybe you want to speak better English,play the piano,or cook French food.Whatever interests you,put it on your list and then make the time to do it.
Teach others.Whatever you learn,teach someone else.You'll not only help others but also understand what you've learned.

13.Are you stressed out,scared or worried all the time?Do you avoid going to certain places,seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries?Do your worries keep you awake at night?If you've answered yes,you may be suffering from anxiety.Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life.Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger.It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you.But if it gets out of hand,anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem.If this is the case for you,treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
Anxiety is a normal part of life.Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations.There are lots of reasons for this.One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life.So,if you are involved in a car crash,it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
Being anxious also probably runs in families.If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too.This is probably partly due to genetics,and partly because of how things are when you're growing up.
Even though people don't talk about it much,anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems.About 1in 4people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them,like being in a crowd of people,can be so scary for you.This can make you feel separated and lonely,as may become worse and worse.
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety.These include talking therapies (疗法) and drugs.

15.Instagram is a fast,beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family.Take a picture or video,choose a filter to transform its look and feel and then post to Instagram-it's that easy.You can even share to Facebook,Twitter and more.It's a new way to see the world.So many photos of food are contained on Instagram-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too."The Picture House"is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant.You order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's"Food for Life"campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.
