66_  One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

   The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _67_  Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

  Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _68_  All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

  _69   You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

  At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

  Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 70  Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

  So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A.      That’s easy.

B.      Enjoy your own club!

C.      Invite a designer to join you.

D.     What are you interest in?

E.      Some vacation is just around the corner.

F.      Then you need to pick a name for your club.

G.     Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

               

One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved how many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.

For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.

It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.

Ways to Burn More Calories

Run through water

Running in water is one of the toughest activities you can perform because the wet stuff is about 12 to 15 times as resistant(具有阻力的)as air.Try your hardest to run and you can burn about 17 calories per minute.

Start fast

Don’t be fooled — slow and steady will not win the race.A recent study found that after a short warm-up,cyclists who rode hard during the first half of their workouts and then slowed for the second half burned about 10 percent more calories than those who started slow and finished fast.

Take to the sand

Here is some easy-to-remember advice on burning calories: the softer the surface,the more you burn.By walking or running on the beach,you can use up 20 to 50 percent more calories than you do going at the same pace on a hard trail.

Shut up and dance

Here is the perfect excuse to sign up for that hip-hop dance class you have been eager to try.Surprising your body with new activities — dance,a new sport,you name it — forces it to work harder because it’s doing unfamiliar movements and using muscle groups in different ways.

Use your arms
