17．Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearman's future is looking much brighter than he might previously have imagined．"I love bikes，but I've never thought I'd end up with working with them，"he says．"This program has changed my life．"
Karlos is learning to refurbish （翻新） old bicycles in the workshop （车间） of ReCycle Bikes，an independent non-profit bike project in Sheffield．It provides training chances for young people aged 14 to 16 with the help of the local government，particularly those struggling in mainstream education or rejected from school．
"It's about engaging young people with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills，"explains Des Pearce，workshop training manager．"These young people have so much potential，but often don't realize it．"
Founded in 2001，ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public，which are sold for￡20 after refurbished．Abandoned bikes supplied by the government make sure a steady flow of bikes，but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve the further development．
"The student population presents a large and ready market，"says Pearce．"So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus （校园）．They thought it was a great idea，and agreed to provide us with more support．This means we can train young people to repair extra 500 bikes over three years．"
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own，Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the profession development of those who have passed through his workshop．"But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to make sure what they plan to do，and these will allow us to check on their progress，"says Pearce．
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is，according to Pearce，easily explained．"Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a flat tyre．As low-cost transport，cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence，and the effect on their well-being is big．Add to that a growing concern for the environment，and it's no surprise that bike sales are on the increase．"

  Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year．How do you make that happen？Consider putting the habit loop to use．
Here's how it works：
  A habit is a 3-step process．First，there's a cue，something that tells your brain to operate automatically．Then there's a routine．And finally，a reward，which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior．It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own．
Here's how to apply it：
  Choose a cue，like leaving your running shoes by the door，then pick．a reward-say，a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym．That way，the cue and the reward become interconnected．Finally，when you see the shoes，your brain will start longing for the reward，which will make it easier to work out day after day．The best part？In a couple of weeks，you won't need the chocolate at all．Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward．Which is the whole point，right？

Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness．The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game．Friends compete against friends．（38）AColleagues against bosses．
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament．But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities．
This adds to the madness．Watching a team from a school with 3，000 students beat a team from a school with 30，000，for many Americans，is an exciting experience．Two years ago，the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams．（39）GCollege basketball players are not paid，so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves．（40）CAbout 4billionwillbespentgambling（赌）ontheevent．AccordingtoMediaLifemagazine，theeventwillbringin 500 million in advertising income this year，topping the post-season income of every US professional league，including that of the NBA．

     （37）CNo one is born to be patient．As you learn and grow and experience things in life，you become wiser and learn how to interact with difficult kinds of people．

World Reading Day was set up by the UNESCO in 1995to encourage people，especially teenagers，to discover the pleasure of reading．
Many countries celebrated World Reading Day．Take the UK as an example，on that day，millions of schoolchildren can buy books of special price，a much lower price than usual，in any bookstore．It has been done every year since 1998．World Reading Day 2010in the UK will take place on Thursday 4th March．Please note that this date applies to the UK and Ireland only．The initiative is so well established in schools there that they want to make sure that the Day happens in term time to really make the most of this opportunity to celebrate books and reading．Most other countries hold World Reading Day on 23rd April every year．
World Reading Day is also celebrated in China．Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao，an avid reader，does lots of reading every day though he is very busy．On World Reading Day 2009he encouraged citizens to do more reading．Wen suggested that young people should spend more time reading．"Books cannot change the world，but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading．"
Reading can benefit people in many ways．Reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology．Reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world．Reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English．
"Reading makes a full man"（Bacon，1597）．Books，magazines，newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us．Therefore，it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day．

As we know，knowledge may be acquired through many ways，the best of which is reading．In the age of high technology，reading deserves to be paid attention to．
To begin with，it is the most flexible way of getting information．Many people think it not only helps them better understand society as well as nature，but also broadens their horizon．Additionally，reading，to some degree，is of great benefit to interpersonal communication apart from self-improvement．It can also enrich our life and bring people pleasure．What's more，reading is also regarded by many as a means of better survival．
Books are to mind what food is to body．However，not every book is worthy of being read．Some may mislead readers．So keep in mind that choosing a good book is likemaking a good friend．Besides，reading is supposed to be done in a proper period of time，for example，in our spare time，thus not disturbing our work or study．As long as we insist on reading，we can get improved gradually．
Personally，I appreciate reading classical literature in my spare time，which provides me with a thorough understanding of life and society．Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines，I find my comprehension ability stably improved．Perhaps in the near future，I'm not merely a reader but also a writer．．

How can a person recover from emotional problems？Many people suggest that he or she watches humorous films．And a recent study proves it to be wrong．The study also shows that watching at sad films can make getting over a negative mood a easier job．
Emotional experiences is important to people's wellbeing．People are less likely to share their feelings with these who have had similar experiences．Similar，people prefer movies that reflect their mood．That's the reason a sad film rather than a pleasant one can contribute to comfort a sad person．
