Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. .
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
| A．Accept what can’t be avoided. |
| B．Analyze the facts. |
| C．There comes a time when you must decide and never look back. |
| D．But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way. |
E. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life. Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith.
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
| A．But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. |
| B．When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it? |
| C．Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I? |
| D．Of course, we’ve been fighting problems ever since we were born. |
E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.
G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.

As with everything in life, there is a right way to sleep in a manner that is productive in dream recall. Relaxation and good sleeping habits are necessary. There is "sleep debt" that occurs when you regularly do not get enough sleep. If so, you’ll sleep too deep to remember your dreams, so follow regular habits. Before you leap into bed, review these steps:
___ This can be done with nothing more than peace and quiet. If you choose, use your favorite relaxation tapes, or just some peaceful music.
____ As you start to sleep, pay attention to the main theme. This will give you a clue as to what your dream may end up being based on. Also, by keeping your mind on what you what to dream about is a good way to dream about one particular issue.
Give yourself a suggestion to remember your dream. ____ In order to do so, giving yourself a suggestion is simple. Just keep in mind, and randomly bring to a surface a little thought like “I will remember my dream.”
Plan on waking up slowly and peacefully. ____ Regardless of what anyone may have told you, it is a fact that adult human beings NEED a minimum of eight hours’ sleep in order to be fully rested. Not getting enough sleep is the number one reason for not remembering your dreams!
____ Eat a well-balanced diet. Poor nutrition is also an extremely common cause for failure to recall dreams.
| A．Try to wake up naturally. |
| B．Relax yourself completely. |
| C．Your health is very important. |
| D．Solve your issues before going to sleep. |
E. You must want to remember your dreams.
F. Many people can’t remember their dreams.
G. Pay attention to the main issues on your mind.
There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.
It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
| A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses. |
| B．Such communication between unequals must be possible. |
| C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily. |
| D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding. |
E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.
G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. . You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends.
.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. . Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. . Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
| A．What’s right for me? |
| B．But remember, there’s always room for more friends. |
| C．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. |
| D．The best way to make friends is to be a friend. |

Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.

下面文章有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
| A. How inner beliefs can help B. How to develop positive habits C. Improve your life D. You can do it E. Action plan F. Why are habits so important |
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. ________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single daywill have a great impact on your life in the long run. ________
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run. ________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: "I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed." If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: "I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy." You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: "Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good."________
It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc... Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc. ________
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don't be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours
All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when their player or team wins.
Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy!
Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.

hundred years old yet. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.

It’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you .
Listen to what the teenager has to say. While you may not entirely agree with what he’s saying, the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It’s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.
Understand that while teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. However, this doesn’t mean you’re completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child.
However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants ,whenever he wants it.
If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refuses to listen to you and continues arguing , step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other. He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything.
| A．Avoid having a bad tone, including accusations in your words. |
| B．This article tells you how to disagree with a teenager in a kind manner. |
| C．Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently. |
| D．People like being listened to, so give him the chance to express his opinion. |
E.Come up with a compromise if the situation allows one.
F.Find the good points the teenager has and mention the negative points as well.
