Tina and I had been good friend for years. We often did things together, so one day Tina didn¡¯t talk to me and just sat by herself. I don¡¯t know what was wrong. I thought about what I had done and said recent. Was Tina upset because I had done well in the history test than her? No, she was happy that I did well in school. I decided find out what was the matter. I walked over to there Tina was sitting. ¡°Tina,¡± I said softly, ¡°is anything wrong?¡± He answered sadly, ¡°Yes, my cat died on last night.¡± I finally knew the reason what she didn¡¯t talk to me and comforted her.

As the morning school bell rings and students rush in, teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation(Ú¤Ïë) pillows. They fail silent after the teacher taps a ¡°singing bowl¡±.

These students are in a for-credit, year-long mindfulness class, which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and non-judgmental listening.

Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades, supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures (×ËÊÆ), breathing, and relaxation techniques.

Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums.

Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino, who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up, Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a student' s suicide (×Ôɱ), and few resources were available to address students¡¯ emotional and mental health.

¡°High school is the hardest period of time for kids,¡± Mr. Chatard said. ¡°You¡¯ve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. It¡¯s also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and there¡¯s the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is overwhelming without having a strategy (²ßÂÔ) to deal with it. ¡± And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.

When I talked to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, ¡°Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he¡¯s going to use it to buy alcohol?¡± I replied, ¡°If all I was giving was money, it¡¯ll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that¡¯s just the wrapping (°ü×°Ö½) . The real gift is hidden inside¡ªit¡¯s love. And I haven¡¯t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.¡±

By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, ¡°I¡¯ll have the full cheese pizza.¡± ¡°Full?¡± she asked. ¡°It¡¯s really big,¡± she added, although what she really meant to say was that it¡¯d be too expensive for him. ¡°Yeah, the full¡± ¡°$18.65,¡± she submitted. The bills he was counting weren¡¯t going to make it. I wasn¡¯t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.

I made my move. ¡°Can you charge that pizza with my order¡± I said to the cashier. ¡°Really?¡± the homeless-looking man said. ¡°Really?¡± the young woman behind the counter repeated. ¡°Yes, really.¡± That confused man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, ¡°Just pay it forward for someone else.¡± And he said, ¡°Well, you know what? I was actually treating these five homeless guys out there.¡± He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man¡¯s act of kindness.

What makes people successful? Take a look around and talk to your friends and seniors who are very successful, you will see all of them have adopted certain values which have proved important for their success.

It is evident that successful people take initiative(Ö÷¶¯ÐÔ). When they find something needs to be done, they never hesitate to do it. 1.. They weigh immediately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure thus strengthening their reputation.

Successful people do things with great enthusiasm, especially when they believe in what they are doing. They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work. 2..

They do not fear failure. Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable. 3.. Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and commitment and learn from each failure. They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those appreciating their achievement.

Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but it¡¯s really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation. 4.. By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves.

In ancient Egypt£¬the pharaoh(·¨ÀÏ)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace£¬if he brought good news. However£¬if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news£¬his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today¡¯s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door£¬picnic basket in hand£¬a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said£¬¡°Oh boy£¬bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it¡¯s going to rain.¡± I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report£¬for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter£¬the sales agent said with a broad smile£¬¡°Oh£¬that bus left five minutes ago.¡± Dreams of head cutting!

It¡¯s not the news that makes someone angry. It¡¯s the unsympathetic attitude with which it¡¯s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time£¬and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn¡¯t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know£¬when delivering any bad news£¬they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately£¬many people are not aware of this. When you¡¯re tired from a long flight£¬has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn¡¯t ready yet£¿When you had your heart set on the toast beef£¬has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece£¿It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy£¬I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left£¬I probably would have said£¬¡°Oh£¬that¡¯s all right. I¡¯ll catch the next one.¡± Big winners£¬when they bear bad news£¬deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(±»ºäÕ¨µÄ)person is sure to have.

3.What is the main idea of the text?

B. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.

We¡¯ve all experienced peer pressure (ͬ°éѹÁ¦). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don¡¯t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they¡¯re just curious about trying something new. 1.

It¡¯s hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? 2. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn¡¯t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don¡¯t do it. It¡¯s your decision, nobody else¡¯s. You don¡¯t need to be aggressive. You don¡¯t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, ¡°No thanks. I don¡¯t want to do that.¡±

Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. 3. You want friends who will support you when you¡¯re in trouble. You don¡¯t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren¡¯t always the most trustworthy.

4. ¡ª You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don¡¯t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn¡¯t about feeling depressed and guilty. 5.

A. Choose your friends carefully.

B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.

C. It¡¯s about sharing experiences and having fun.

D. Of course, peer pressure isn¡¯t completely bad.

E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.

F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.

G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don¡¯t want to.
