8．Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basis，there's nothing like it．Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time．
（16）D
The first thing that you need to do is，stand straight．If you feel that you are falling backwards，then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees．Don't worry； this happens to all．
（17）G
The most important step while learning how to skate backwards，is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing．How can you achieve this？By practice，Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort．
（18）E
Confident now？Great!Now the next step is to maintain your speed．While rolling in a straight line with one skate，with the other try sculling（滑浆），that is，keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke（滑动）．Now bring the skate which you were using to scull，and then again，repeat the same process．Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling．Now，try the same thing using the other foot．Again keep doing this till you are confident enough．
（19）B
Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot，the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed．Try some of your own tricks now．Scull with either foot or with both at the same time．
（20）F
While you keep one foot straight，keep sculling with the other．You can do that simultaneously with both feet．Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going．If you are not watching your back，you might just bang against something or someone．

A．Find Another to Practise with You
B．Increase Your Speed Now
C．Gain Your Courage
D．Stand Straight
E．Maintain Speed
F．Scull and Be Aware
G．Confidence is What You Need．

7．"Community"is not a concept that is easy to define （定义）．In this essay I will examine what turns individuals into a community，and discuss some different types．I will also look at what all communities have in common，the benefits they offer and draw conclusions about their increasing importance．
The word"community"may make you think of traditional communities in the developing world，where large families live together．We may also imagine the neighbours as people who are happy to help out whenever it is needed．The stereotpical（老套的） view is that of a village，where people have little but can feel very rich because everyone takes responsibility for the welfare of the others．
On the other hand，there are other types of communities：ultramodern（超现代的） ones，where the community members are unlikely to have actually met each other．These are online communities，where people blog or chat about particular issues that are important to them．They come across others on websites and may develop a relationship there with like-minded people，discussing the same topics．The view is often that these are artificial connections between people who are，in effect，still isolated（孤立的） strangers．
In reality，the connections are real．Moreover，there are many types of communities in between these extremes：people who join clubs，who sign up with voluntary，political or other organizations，or who take part in group discussions in their local area．They may be campaigning about issues or simply getting together for companionship and support．
Human beings are social by nature，so it should not be a surprise that we organize ourselves in groups．However，there is more going on：these groups provide something that we cannot achieve on our own．The main benefit of being part of a larger group is strength in numbers．For example，we can access and share more information，we can take part in team sports，we can complain and campaign more effectively and even if we are just having a chat，online or in person，we can feel supported in whatever we do．
Whatever forms communities take，what defines them is the sense of identity and safety that they provide for their members：the knowledge that there are people who we have something in common with and who can be relied on when we need each other．

6．Let's look back all these years you've gone through，what have you done for your life？Are you spending your time wisely to make your life worthwhile？Neal Wu shared some ways we should do to make our short time of life meaningful，find out what you need to do next：
a．Make friends as opposed to networking
Your friends will go a lot further than the professional contacts you make，especially since only one of the two groups is invested in your personal happiness．
b．Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the things you are curious about
Find the things you enjoy and practice the skills you want to develop．If you can achieve expertise then it will be easy to obtain an audience．
c．Volunteer to help out those less fortunate
In the process you will gain a ton of new perspective and will better understand other people's real problems．In a society that always looks upward，these people are being forgotten easily．
d．Become as independent as possible
Even though you work in a big company，you should constantly make small steps to reduce your dependence on your job．Write a book，build an app，or start a small business on the side．Release your inner entrepreneur．
e．Don't spend too much time worrying about your personalbrand
Accomplish（完成） things，and the recognition will follow．
f．Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake
Genuine（真正的） interest should be what drives you to improve yourself，rather than a desire to beat others．Find a community of people who are interested in the same things as you do，and drive each other to keep improving．
