Things People Over 50 Wish They’d Done Differently At 25

Save more money. Retirement is no joke, as you’ll learn by 50. As you stare at the poor reality of your retirement, you might find yourself counting every penny you wasted on worthless things. So pack your lunch, find street parking or take the bus.1.

Travel more. You’re only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a spouse (配偶)and kids, it’s a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer. Consider working abroad.2.Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smart phone.

Slow down. Too many of us waste precious moments because we’re too busy connecting to our digital products or on social media. Life is short. Enjoy it. We think a reader put it perfectly: “I wouldnot have been so busy to be successful and work 80 hours a week.3.I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living.”

4.As the saying goes, nobody can take your accomplishments away from you. Education is one of those accomplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to college. Whether it’s bad to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice.

5.By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism(新陈代谢)slowing down. Looking after yourself at this time is about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you’re healthy enough to do everything you want to do.

A. Get a better education.

B. Consider your health.

C. I would have enjoyed my life slowly.

D. Visit the city you dream about all day.

E. Focus on trying to build a good credit history.

F. Remember that a penny saved is a penny earned.

G. So never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind.

Dear editor,

Recently students of our school have made a survey of “Views on Newspaper”. _____________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Many of us know what it feels like to be an outside in high school. Some give in to the pressure to fit in; others remain “on the bottom of the social food chain”. However, Alexandra Robbins, the author of the book The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth believes what makes people unpopular in high school, mainly an unwillingness to obey, tends to translate into success as an adult.

Robbins has spent the past decade analyzing the behavior of high school students. She found the things that make a student different make them a target. But in adulthood and outside of the school setting, the things “that make you different make you interesting, fun, and often successful,” she told the UK’s Daily Mail.

She researched the qualities that people found most valuable in adults. The top qualities are: creativity, free-thinking, vision, authenticity, self-awareness, honesty, curiosity, love of learning, and courage. “Those are qualities that are far more likely to be found in school outsiders than in the popular kids,” she said.

According to Robbins, when people are in with a popular crowd, they are more likely to hide aspects of their identity in order to fit into the group. As she put it to Yahoo.com, “You are more likely to have goals of social dominance(强势)rather than forming actual true friendships. You are more likely to let other people pressure you into doing things. None of those things is admirable or useful as adults.”

Meanwhile, in the eyes of Robbins, the outsiders are much more self-aware and much braver than the popular students. They are brave because they are sticking to being themselves in a challenging environment.

There are many celebrity examples of progress from unpopularity to later fame. Hollywood director Steven Spielberg was laughed at for being Jewish in high school. JK Rowling, author of hugely popular Harry Potter, was teased in school as a glasses-wearing child who lived mostly in books and daydreams.

Robbins encourages students to participate in out-of-class activities. “They will automatically meet people with similar tastes,” she told Daily Mail.

D. Behavior of high school students

2.Which quality is NOT considered to be valuable in adults?

A. Being creative

B. Being authentic

B. They may hide aspects of their identity to fit in

D. They may stick to being themselves in the society

A. Young people who are outside are successful as adults

You must have written your research paper, your personal essay, your book review-----whatever your school class requires. You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words.1.

But is it really done? Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision.2.

Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students. The classroom is a good place to practice patience, concentration and listening. There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way. You should put away your paper after you have written a first version, or draft. Wait several hours, maybe overnight, before working on it more.3. Not only are you refreshed, but you’re looking at things through different eyes. That’s what revision literally means—to see again through different eyes.

Following a four-step process may help you with your paper. The first step in the process is invention. It includes forming many questions about your subject. It is called “question-storming”.4.Then comes the revision period. Take your time to read what you’ve written, to think about it, and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now, as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader’s eyeglasses rather than a writer’s. The fourth step is called “publication”.5.In a sense, anytime you turn it over to another person, that’s publication.

Probably, the process takes away some of the tension of writing. And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing.

A. Perfect writing is not possible.

B. In the second step, you draft and compose a paper.

C. And you feel good because your work is finished.

D. This is just like returning to a job after a vacation.

E. This does not mean your writing is professional publication.

F. What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper.

G. In other words, writing well means making needed changes and rewriting.
