Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to meet and many decisions to make.Your future begins here.
However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮)by the details of running a well-balanced life.While some of us may have the
know-how
, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.
The following you may find of use about life on campus.
* Plan well.There are so many new things to do at a new college or university.Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there.Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.
* If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now(like a day timer, a computer data book), get one.Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.
* Don’t miss the guidelines.The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook.Consider them well-balanced food for thought.What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in class? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?
* Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table.Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.
* Build your identity.This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do.Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas.Do not be afraid of the beyond.This is learning to make good choices.

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol(胆固醇)levels.

Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear.
These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct(指导).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

Farmers,as we all know,have been having a hard time of it lately,and have turned
to new ways of earning income from their land.This involves not only planting new kinds of crops,but some
1
ways of making money,the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing.Yes,you heard me
2
!A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis,and during the past year over 100,000 people have
3
to watch the race.“I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,"one punter (赛马经纪人)told me,“and I thought I'd have a look.I didn't believe it was serious to tell you the truth."According to a regular visitor,betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses.“At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse
4
8 ,and there are clear favourites.
5
nobody has heard anything about these
6
!Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any
case."I stayed to watch the races,and I must admit that I found it quite
7
. In
a usual sheep race,half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile.Food is waiting for them at the other end of the
8
just to give them so
me encouragement,I ought to add!The sheep run surprisingly fast,
9
they have probably not eaten for a while.Anyway,the crowd around me were obviously enjoying
heir day out at the races,
10
by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling
1
in your life. Little did I know you were
2
every penny you earned to go to
3
school.
I cannot thank you enough for
4
you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried
5
piles of law books. I was
6
. Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for
7
? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms
8
be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept
9
in my ears. I watched as you faced the
10
of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a
11
and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you
12
. With your words of wisdom in my
13
mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world
14
. I set out to live my life filled with
15
, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I
16
found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)
17
one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’11 try that.”
Encouraged by your
18
, I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and
19
meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m
20
it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She told him that she would
1
the water in ten minutes.
Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for
2
sounded, the air hostess realized it at once. She was kept so
3
that she forget to deliver him the
4
. As a result, the passenger was
5
to take his medicine. She hurried over to him
6
a cup of water, but to her surprise he
7
it.
In the following hours on the
8
, each time the air hostess passed by the
9
, she would ask him with a
10
whether he needed help or not. But the passenger
11
paid attention to her words.
When he was going to get
12
the plane, the passenger asked the air hostess to
13
him the passenger’s booklet(意见簿). She was very
14
. She knew that he would write down
15
words, which might result in the loss of her job.
16
with a smile she handed it to him.
Off the plane, she
17
the booklet and cracked a smile,
18
the passenger put it, “On the flight, you asked me whether I needed help or not for twelve times

I once had a teacher whose husband died of heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her
1
understanding with students.
2
the late afternoon sunlight came shinning in and the class was nearly
3
, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her
4
and sat down there.
With a gentle look of reflection(反思) on her face, she paused and said, “Class is over. I would like to
5
with all of you, a thought that is
6
to class, but which I feel is very
7
.”
“Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and give of ourselves.
8
of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be
9
at any moment. Perhaps this is the Power’s way of telling us that we must make the
10
of every single day.”
Her eyes were
11
to water, but she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a
12
.From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to
13
. It could be the
14
of the breeze (微风)slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it
15
gently to the ground.
“Please look for these things, and
16
them. It is the
17
things that we are put here on earth to enjoy. We must make it important to notice them, for at
18
it can all be taken away.” The class was completely
19
. We all picked up our books and walked out of the room silently. That

What’s the secret of success? Is it having loads of money? Good luck? Great teeth?
Sure, cash, luck, and a nice
1
can’t hurt. But many social scientists agree that what successful people have in common is this: They were
2
.
There’s George Washington, the top general of America’s troops in the Revolutionary War, who lost two huge
3
and was nearly fired.
4
Steve Jobs, who developed a lot of failed products---and even got fired from Apple---before
5
to change the world with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
The
6
goes on: From Katy and Hall of Fame (名人堂)basketball legend Michael Jordan to Glee(欢乐合唱团 ) star Chris Colfer, the majority of today’s most successful people were
7
losers. They were dropped from record labels,
8
from basketball teams, or bullied in school. They felt humiliated, lost and
9
.
But they eventually figured out how to move forward. And that is the key skill: the
10
to dust yourself off and try again. And again. Experts call this resilience(复原力 )---being able to
11
from setbacks. This is what turns losers into winners. Experts say that in terms of future success, resilience is more important than brains or talent. So

you fail a test or strike out at bat or sing off-key, don’t give up.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life.
1
ljust letting life happen to you, goals allow you
to make your life happen.
Successful people
2
how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are
3
your life. It's like having a
4
to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are
5
drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any
6
time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,
7
she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just
8
gas. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making
9
and setting goals.
10
people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set—and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must
11
lwhat to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more
12
to achieve it. Written goals can be
13
regularly, and have more power. Like a contract(合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also
14
you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously
15
situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

It is universally known that friendship is one of the permanent themes in the literature of all languages. Friends are people who willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble, and show
1
for us when we are in misery. This is
2
human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter of friends. Some of us like
3
friends, while others different friends. Personally,I prefer both.
It goes without saying that having similar friends has many
4
, We can feel a renewed sense of
5
when we have a group of old friends who would

our sufferings and happiness.
7
, old friends always know how to

mutual trust(互信)and how to avoid
9
conflicts. I always feel
10
when I meet an old friend after a long

. Immediately, hearty laughter

Nevertheless I believe that a mixture of friends is
13
advantageous.One can

with different friends broadens my world
16
.Just as various kinds of nutriments keep you healthy, making a
17
of friends keeps you lively. Secondly , I have found that the
18
friends cannot only
19
new adventures but alse show me new
20
to success in life. Thirdly, they can help me with whatever difficulties I encounter in life.
To conclude, I prefer to have both types of friends and as many as possible. Of course, I will not forget friends wisely.
