Saying no starts small
“All right then — just one more piece...” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.
It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.
Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.
In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.
Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.
But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. Even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly.
You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.
Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well.

Green tea is the best choice for office workers.
People who always work in places with air conditioning may face skin problems such as easily dry skin. Among all the drinks, green tea is the best choice. Because there are important things in green tea and they are often called catechins(儿茶酚). Moreover, drinking more green tea can prevent computer radiation(辐射).
Winter is the season to drink black tea.
Chinese medicine believes that different people should drink different tea based on the different characteristics and tastes of each kind of tea. Black tea can warm the stomach and quicken digestion(消化). Therefore, drinking warm black tea in the cold winter is a most suitable choice.
Do not drink strong tea.
Strong tea may make the body far too excited and can badly affect the cardiovascular(心血管的) as well as the nervous system(神经系统). For a person who has problem with these parts, to drink overly (过度地) strong tea may cause heart and blood pressure illness, or even make the old illnesses much worse.
Do not drink too much tea when you are eating.
Drinking too much tea or strong thick tea may not be good for taking in many constant elements and trace elements(常量元素和微量元素). Also, people should not drink tea with milk or other milky food.

If you are a computer game fan, you must have heard of StarCraft. Recently, the University of Florida opened a StarCraft class for students. Maybe you feel confused when you hear of the news, maybe you think I am joking. But that’s true. In our mind, students are not allowed to play computer games by teachers and parents. Don’t you believe that the StarCraft class was set up in the University of Florida? Please read more.
Nowadays, the world is developing in a fast way, so it is very important for students to be good at skills such as solving problems, making decisions and critical thinking(批判性思维). It is said that all these skills appear in StarCraft. Therefore, StarCraft can provide a high effective environment for students to consider and take action in difficult situations.
“A student who gets a university education and goes into the business world could realize that something he learned in his StarCraft class helps him to think in a different way,” said one teacher in the University of Florida.
“The StarCraft class offers a new way to students to study. Study is not only about learning things from books,” said another teacher.
Not all the students can take the StarCraft class. The class is only open to the students who have some knowledge about the game.
