 “No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion,written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. Without other people,life became empty and sad.1.

  For some of us,though making friends is not difficult,we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

There are many books about friendship,but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence (影响) People written in 1936,is the most famous.2.      It was later put into 28 languages. Here is the list of advice from his book：

. 3.        Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me”or “would you please”，when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “ thank you ” and try to be as helpful as you can.

. Go out of your way to be nice.

4.        Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you,but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

. Remember names.

They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.

. 5.        Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.

. Listen patiently.

When someone is talking to you,look at him or her,listen carefully and say something when necessary.

 Cheating is nothing new. But today,the Administrative Department for Education finds that examples of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent—and are less likely to be punished--than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.

  Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today’s youth. Others have attributed (归因于) increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more practical than their idealistic ancestors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies,students were filled with visions about changing the world,today’s students feel great pressure to survive and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country,both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of hate for teachers they didn’t respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught,some said,would they feel guilty. “People are com-petitive ,” said a second-year college student named Anna,from Chicago. “There is a potential fear. If you don’t do well,your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to surpass people to achieve our own goals. ”

  Edward Wynne,editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty in the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber,chairman of the English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently,blaming the rise in cheating on the way students evaluated. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated ,” Mr Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine and process information,students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false belief that the system is legal and there is something wrong with the individuals who’re doing it ,”he said, “that’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system. ”

 Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are：

  Get the facts.

  Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts,you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts,all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried,your emotions are riding high.1.    

  When trying to get the facts,you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person.2.        You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

  3.        Whenever you are worried,write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example,what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts,you can calmly come to a decision.

  Act on that decision.

  4.        How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.5.        If you know a situation is beyond your power,

say to yourself： “It is so;it can’t be otherwise. ”Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

   A. Accept what can’t be avoided.

   B. Analyze the facts.

   C. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

   D. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

   E. Unless you take your action,all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

   F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

   G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

  When you are little,it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my 1        when,at the age of 12,I 2        delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on 3        poverty and finding environmental answers,4________ a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to 5        others,to work things out,to respect others,to clean up our mess,not to hurt other creatures,to 6________,not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us,but I 7        you,please,to make your 8        reflect your words. ”

  I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation (长时间的喝彩) • Some of the delegates 9        cried. I thought that maybe I had 10        some of them,that my speech might actually spur (激励) action. Now,a decade from Rio,after I’ve sat through many more conferences,I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.

  When I was little,the world was simple. But as a young adult,I’m learning that as we have to make 11________education,career,lifestyle—life gets more and more 12________. We are beginning to feel 13      to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is 14________,but aren’t taught how to 15________ a happy,healthy or sustainable (可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and 16________.

Today I’m no longer a child,but I'm worried about what kind of 17________ my children will grow up in. I know change is 18________,because I am changing,still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great,19        if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices,we will rise to the challenges,and we will become part of the 20        tide of change.
