On a Sunday morning, I got on a bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man seating in the front. He was pretended that a tiger toys was real and giving it a voice. He must be mentally disabled.

Behind him were other people to who he was trying to talk, but after some minutes he walked away and sat near me, looking annoyed.

I didn¡¯t want to be laughed for talking to him but I didn¡¯t feel like leaving him on his own either.

After a while I rise from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man but introduced myself. We had an amazingly conversation. He got off the bus before me and I felt very much happy the rest of the way home.

When I walk through the streets, I pass strange rooms where people are doing strange things. Some are biking madly. Others are holding metal bars to keep them from dropping down. Still others are jumping around while someone is shouting at them. It looks like something out of Dante¡¯s Inferno (µ«¶¡¡¶ÉñÇú¡·Öеġ¶µØÓüƪ¡·). But what is the most amazing is that people pay for these sufferings!

The strange rooms are gyms. It is reported that some 41 million Americans are gym members. 12% of the memberships are born in January, as they are determined to knock off (ʹ¼õÉÙ) the holiday fat. Maybe it is good to exercise in the gym. However, should they know they can keep in good shape, spending little money, would they still agree with its necessity?

At the age of 23, I joined a gym. I lifted weights twice a week in Muscle¡¯s Gym. I paid as little as $200 per year. You can¡¯t find such gyms in every city any more. Too often, the gym is fancy (»¨ÉÚµÄ) with lots of equipment. If you ask how much it costs to join it, the person at the front desk often won¡¯t tell you straight. Instead, he¡¯ll let you meet with a fitness consultant (½¡Éí¹ËÎÊ), who will provide you with a great number of reasons and suggestions, such as losing weight and getting healthier, just in order to put pressure on you to spend much money joining the gym and becoming a member there.

Working out with the help of equipment at home has problems, too. In the early 2000¡¯s, I bought a spinning bike at a cost of $700 for home use. I tried a few times only to find that it brought me a neck problem.

Now I¡¯m back to my old way. I do Yoga£¨è¤Ù¤£©every morning and evening. Total cost: $60 for an exercise mat (µæ×Ó) . I¡¯m enjoying fitness.

China has announced it¡¯s abolishing its one-child policy. What difference has it made, statistically speaking?

400 million births prevented

The one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.

The majority of the decrease in China¡¯s fertility rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 to 2.7 in 1978. Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen to 1.7 by 2013.

21:28-baby deaths rate

Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.

In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per 1, 000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per 1,000 live births died before the age of one - and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1,000 live births dying and 28 girls.

1.16 boys born for every girl

Sexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China's unusual imbalance.

Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It's estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.

4: 2: 1 families

With the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy, a ¡°4: 2 :1¡± home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparent, cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.

By 2050, it¡¯s predicted that a quarter of China's population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.

1.When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal?

A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s.

C. In the 1990s. D. In the 2000s

2.What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?

A. The decline of birth rate.

B. The rise of baby deaths rate.

By now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends¡¯ new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber¡¯s latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?

Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.

Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.

Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.

Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing( й¶) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable(Ò×ÊÜÉ˺¦µÄ)to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.

Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.

I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(´ÎÒªµã) C£ºConclusion

We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and searching for that special love. Unfortunately, that¡¯s not usually how life works. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect, which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life, so you can share it with others. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others. By doing so, you are enabling positive energy and allowing for great situation to occur in your life.

Bringing joy to other people¡¯s lives will help you find joy in your own. In addition, those who you treat well will likely repay you with the same kindness. Gradually, you will start to feel your worth through the smiles of gratitude. However, don¡¯t just be very kind to people so you can receive royal treatment.

Don¡¯t punish yourself for something you have done in the past. Instead, look at the mistake as a learning experience. Say to yourself now, ¡°I forgive myself for..." Go to look in a mirror, and say it out loud to yourself. Look at yourself right in the eyes, and speak forgiveness like you mean it. If you do, laugh out loud, realizing that was then and this is now. Every day is a new beginning.

We all want a nice house, nice things, and someone to share our life with. Find your true wants objectively. Are you eager for power, a religion, or simply a motive? Sometimes, it¡¯s easier to hide the truth from yourself, but figuring out what you really want will help you know yourself better. This will hopefully aid you in answering important questions you often ask yourself.

Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion(×ÔÎÒͬÇé). Compassion is not self-pity, but rather a willingness to accept one¡¯s own pain and regret. Compassion allows us to be present with our pain, so we can acknowledge it and let it go.
