18．There are many American expressions about insects．
Bees are known as very hard workers．So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house．In fact，you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean．You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away．When we go to see a movie，my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn．If something was the best of its kind，you might say it was the bee's knees．Now，we admit that we do not know how this expression developed．In fact，we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important，you might say she has a bee in her bonnet．If someone asks you a personal question，and you would like not to tell him or her，you might say，"That is none of your beeswax．"
Butterflies are beautiful insects，but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach．That means to be nervous about having to do something，like speaking in front of a crowd．You would also not want to have ants in your pants．That is，to be restless and unable to sit still．
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do，you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me"．A friend also might tell you again and again to do something．If so，you mighe say he put a bug in your ear．If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day，you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug．And，if you wish someone good night，you might say，"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite．"

17．After studying the daily habits of 177self-made millionaires over the course of five years，Thomas C．Corley found that they avoid one costly habit：procrastination（拖延症）．
"It prevents even the most talented individuals from realizing success in life，"he writes in his upcoming book，"Change Your Habits，Change Your Life．"
This goes hand-in-hand with author Napoleon Hill's claim that the wealthiest people are also the most decisive people．
Out of the 500millionaires Hill studied in the early 20th century，"Every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions quickly，"Hill wrote in his 1937classic，"Think and Grow Rich．"
One of the major causes of procrastination is lack of passion，Corley emphasizes："We simply like to do the things we like to do and we put off the things we do not like to do．"
"According to Gallup，only 13% of employees are‘engaged'in their jobs，or emotionally invested in their work，"Corley writes．
"Whether you realize it or not，procrastination is a big reason why you are struggling financially in life．It damages your credibility with employers and fellow colleagues at work．It also affects the quality of your work and this affects the business you or your employer receive from customers，clients，and business relationships．"
The good news is that anyone can overcome procrastination-and it's simpler than you may think．He also notes that"the voice of procrastination screams just as loud and clear in the minds of those who excel in life as it does in the minds of those who do not．"
How do they silence it？They rely on"to-do"lists to get things done．They create firm deadlines，and they meet with"accountability partners"to ensure they're sticking to their goals and deadlines，Corley says．
Nearly everyone is susceptible to procrastination-but fighting against it can make all the difference．

16．Gone are the days when being a celebrity（名人） meant reaching the top of the social ladder．With the Internet as their springboard （跳板），people no longer need to be actors，sports stars or politicians to be celebrities．
You may still remember the time when Furong Jiejie，or"Sister Lotus"，and Fengjie，or"Sister Phoenix"，appeared online．All of a sudden they were the talk of the town because of their crazy clothes and unusual values．Then there was Yu Xiuhua，a cerebral palsy（脑瘫） sufferer who became famous as a talented poet online．And let's not forget the 14-year-old South Korean boy who got famous by simply broadcasting himself having dinner every day．
But when the word wanghong，or"Internet celebrity"，was named one of Yaowen Jiaozi magazine's"popular cyber words"in 2015，its meaning had changed．Those who now dominate the world of wanghong are largely famous for their heavily photoshopped selfies and the special lifestyles they advertise on social media．
But what wanghong offer their fans is much more than a bunch of pretty pictures．"There is a longing for the effortless and fashionable way of life，"commented China Youth Daily．
Though their lifestyle may seem"effortless"，some wanghong take great pains to run their Taobao stores，communicate with their fans and think of ways to keep their viewership，for example．
Zhang Dayi，a famous wanghong with over 4million followers on Sina Weibo，revealed to Southern People Weekly some of her secrets for attracting fans．"Usually people look up to celebrities at a 45-degree angle．But I reduced that angle to 15degrees and I made it，because no one likes to stretch their necks too much，"she said．Her social media strategies include being more interactive and friendly with fans．"As soon as you let down your guard，people will start to approach，"she said．

15．Bobby White works as a police officer in Gainesville，Florida．On January 15，he was told to a street to look into a noise complaint from residents（居民）．A group of young men were playing basketball in the street．

11．I love charity（慈善） shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street．The charity shop is a British institution，selling everything from clothes to electric goods，all at very good prices．You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore．The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies，and you are not damaging the planet，but finding a new home for unwanted goods．
The first charity shop was opened in 1947by Oxfam．The famous charity's appeal（呼吁） to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations（捐赠物）．They  decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal．Now there are over 7，000charity shops in the UK．My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop，where I always find children's books，all 10or 20pence each．
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers，although there is often a manager who gets paid．Over 90% ofthe goods in the charity shops are donated by the public．Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops，although they don't encourage this，rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open．
The shops have very low running costs：all profits go to charity work．Charity shops raise more than￡110million a year，funding（资助）medical research，overseas aid，supporting sick and poor children，homeless and disabled people，and much more．What better place to spend your money？You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense．You provide funds to a good cause and tread（踩，踏） lightly on the environment．

10．An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to （归因于） the global economic crisis （危机） awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works．
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January，according to UCAS，the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service．A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up．
