Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

1. Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2.. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4.. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. 5.. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A. This is just one way.

B. The benefits will stay with you.

C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.

D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.

13．On a bright，warm July afternoon，Mac Hollan，a primary school teacher，was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends．One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair，but they had encouraged Mac to carry on，and they would catch up with him soon．As Mac pedaled （骑行） along alone，he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home．He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday．
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him．"Man，that's a big dog!"he thought．But when he looked to the side，he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all，but a wolf，quickly catching up with him．
Mac's heart jumped．He found out his can of hear spray．With one hand on the bars，he fired the spray at the wolf．A bright red cloud enveloped the animal，and to Mac's relief，it fell back，shaking its head．But a minute later，it was by his side again．Then it attacked the back of Mac's bike，tearing open his tent bag．He fired at the wolf a second time，and again，it fell back only to quickly restart the chase（追赶）．
Mac was pedaling hard now．He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down．He saw a steep uphill climb before him．He knew that  once he hit the hill，he'd be easy caught up and the wolf's teeth would be tearing into his flesh．
At this moment，Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska．They didn't think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road．A bit later，they spotted what they，too，assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike．As they got closer，they realized that the dog was a wolf．Mac heard a large vehicle behind him．He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast，just a dozen yards away now．

      The car abruptly stopped in front of him．Paul shouted through the window，"Get in the car quickly!"Mac jumped off the bicycle andjumped into the back seat of the car without hesitation．（高分句型一） In the meanwile，the wolf caught up．Luckily，the car's door washard enough and Mac was safe．Beeky threw somefood out of the window and Paul pressed the button of the horn to make an alert．Finally，the wolf left and disappeared．"Oh my god，my friends are still repairing the bicycle!"shouted Mac．Without a second thought，Paul drove the car quickly back to find the two cyclists，only to find they were gone．（高分句型二）
      A few minutes later，the other two cyclists arrived．"Thank godness!Where did you go？"Mac held his two friends tightly in arms．"I'm happy to see you again，my friend．Inoticed a big dog running on the road when I was repairing my bike．And then we realized thatit was a wolf，so we kept hiding ourselves until it went away．""Oh，my god，without these two gentlemen's help，I would be the dinner of the wolf．"Finally，though tired，they continued their way and reached Alaska，safe and sound．（高分句型三） What an unforgettable experience they shared!．

13．Winter is the time of year when people feel very blessed．This isn't becau se people feel thankful for the cold weather，nor because the important festivals---Christmas or Spring Festival---offer an excuse to celebrate．In fact，"Bless you!"is a common response if someone sneezes，a symptom（症状）of catching a cold or the flu．
Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses of autumn and winter as the weather gets colder．Viruses cause them．If you get one you will feel annoyed，but it is not usually serious．The flu is spread from person to person when we come into contact with a person with the virus．We get the virus on our hands and then we touch our noses and our mouths．We can pass on the flu before we realize we have it．You can infect（传染） others one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick．
Getting a flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the illness．Even if your body has built up antibodies（抗体）for one kind of flu．The vaccine（疫苗）is only effective for one year and viruses are different from year to year，so it is necessary to get a flu vaccination every year．The best time to get the vaccination is October or November．Besides，there are other ways to reduce your chance of getting a flu．Wash your hands．Get enough rest．Eat garlic regularly．Don't let stress control you．Exercise regularly．
