The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.

Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.

The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

If you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

*Walk Faster

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1.

* 2.

One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, opportunities to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal commercial. Write a 30-60 second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals. Then recite it in front of the mirror aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

* Sit in the Front Row

In schools, offices and some other public places, people always sit at the back of the room. 3.. This reflects a lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence

* Speak Up

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid 4.. By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you will become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts and recognized as a leader by your peers(同龄人)

* Work Out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has a huge effect on self-confidence. 5. By making your body fit and strong. You improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and accomplish something positive.

A.Listen to an Inspiring Speech

B.Create a Personal Speech

C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D.Most people prefer that because they are afraid of being noticed.

E.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

F.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

G.If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel insecure, unattractive, and less energetic.

How to Be Successful in School

1.

One really important shortcut (捷径) to success in life is to be successful in school. Examine the relationship between levels of educational achievement and income earned during one’s working life. Education is the best investment (投资) a person can make. The higher one’s level of education, the more income they will be likely to earn and the better life will probably be. Students should make the effort to get the most education they can, and work hard to be successful in school at every level.

2.

Long term means five years or more in the future. Do you want to graduate from college? Get into medical school? Get a law degree? Get an MBA? Get a master’s or PhD? Try to define concrete but realistic long-­term goals for yourself. Then focus on them, thinking about them every time you attempt not to do your homework. Make your long­-term goals motivations for your behavior every day, because every day does count when it comes to being successful in school. It is also important to have short-­term goals that are stepping stones to your long-­term goals.

3.

For each of your education goals, develop a strategy and an action plan. A strategy might be to get math tutoring or to study with a group of friends on a regular basis. An action plan will include several individual tasks with timing and any cost that might be required. If you are a student, start now to understand how to generate goals, strategies and action plans that work; this skill can help you to be successful in school and later, in life.

4.

Habits are formed by practice, by doing. Good study habits are formed by studying on a regular basis for the amount of time required to learn something. One of the most essential keys to being successful in school is to develop good study habits. Once good study habits are formed, you will find that learning and success in school become easier.

5.

If you are a teenager or young adult, don’t let your hormones(荷尔蒙) or other people lead you into irresponsible actions. Self­-indulgent (自我放纵的) behavior and abusive behavior toward others are self­-destructive and unworthy of mature individuals. Work hard to develop strong character by making the virtues of courage, temperance (节制), and justice.
