Who would have thought to put a kite and a surfboard together? It may seem like an impractical idea, but a man named Cory Roeseler from Oregon believed that it would work, and introduced the idea in the 1980s． Over the next few years, other designers contributed to the style and shape of the board, resulting in a mixture of kiting and surfing, which is what kite surfing is today．
The power kite pulls a small board that is fastened to the surfer’s feet, and there is a harness (安全带) that goes around the surfer’s waist to make sure that the surfer stays connected to the board．The wind determines which direction would be easiest for the surfer to go in．Once the kite surfer is able to control the board and the kite, they can learn many tricks, such as turning, jumping, and so on．
This sport can sometimes be potentially dangerous to other kite surfers, beachgoers, and the kite surfers themselves if they don’t know how the proper procedure is done． They can learn the techniques safely without putting themselves and others in danger．A good course should include basic operations, kite set-up, maintenance (维修) of equipment, weather planning, and emergency landings．These courses are available in almost all areas where kite surfing is popular．
Some popular destinations for kite surfing enthusiasts are South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, but wherever there is wind, there will be kite surfers．You might even be able to see kite surfers on the beach closest you!
| A．Kite surfing has become a mainstream sport． |
| B．Kite surfing is a difficult and dangerous sport． |
| C．The way it works is an application of simple physics． |
| D．The first design was with water skis powered by a kite． |
E．It is also known as kite boarding, and in some European countries as fly surfing．
F．Therefore, it is highly recommended that people who want to participate in this sport attend a
course．
G．With the combination of the wind and the ocean, some kite surfers can go at top speeds while
flying over 20 feet in the air．
Britain’s high streets are dying slowly
Twenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities．It was crowded with customers．Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers．With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.
It’s fairly easy to understand．To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退)．On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping．And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either．
Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.
What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets．She’s talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre． In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people’s shopping to their homes．
where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.
Members of the public have also voiced their opinions．“My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man．“I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.
| A．They have to pay increasing high rents. |
| B．But he is not the only one to solve the problem. |
| C．But that’s all changed. |
| D．In another town, they set up night shopping centers, |
E． In another town, they set up a nursery,
F． They can make a fortune overnight.
G． Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?

B. Follow other people's paths.
C. Blame others for the fault.
D. Have faith in overnight success.
E. Only pay attention to the dreams themselves.
F. Believe someone else has the answers for you.
FIVE WAYS TO KILL YOUR DREAMS
I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we think about the dreams we have, and the footprint we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen. So I'm here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.______
You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master's on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years. This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And, voila! I got in. People may think it's an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that, I took life and education seriously. Your overnight success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life through that moment.______
Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take: "And let me tell you, go through this pipe." But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself. No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head, and it's a part of the process.______
So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue, and everything is set — time to settle. When I launched my first book, I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that, over three million people downloaded it, over 50,000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that's great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There's no time to settle down.______
I constantly see people saying, "Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest." "Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well." Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations." If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one bought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault. Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's. Be responsible for your dreams.______
Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!" Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, "Okay, let's go down." Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey. Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it's a magical place where happiness will be all around. But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say．Here are some shopping tips:
Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet．
Shop when you normally exercise．Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime．
Try them on．Never grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy．Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store．
You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably．Make sure there’s about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe．The back should fit snugly (warmly and comfortably) against your heel and not move up and down．If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one．
Talk to an expert．Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐) and the shape of your feet．
Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to maintain（保持）proper cushioning and support．One tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support, they may be ready to go．
| A．Think about how much you can afford to buy the workout shoes． |
| B．Consider your type of exercise． |
| C．Focus on fit． |
| D．So don’t shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening． |
E．Pay more attention to new style shoes
F．Replace worn shoes regularly．
G．Usually they can recommend the best shoes to guard against injuries．

The family has the responsibility for keeping young children safe, providing love and helping all their children to learn to get along with people. The most important beginning is the development of trust. The infant (婴儿的) needs to know that there is someone who cares and provides for his or her needs.
Each person also has the responsibility to show love and affection to other people in the family. The way you show love can be different for different people. What one child feels is loving might be felt as disturbing by a different child. Each person’s needs should be respected. It is your responsibility to be an understanding person.
There are different ways to show young children affection and love. It is easy to tell when it is direct, a hug or kiss, or the words“I love you.” Young children respond better to demonstrating love. Use words to describe love with action. In this way the feelings are clear and not misunderstood.
Showing love also means guiding the actions of young children. As young children grow more independent, the people responsible need to understand these growing skills. But as important as it is to allow children the freedom to explore and be themselves, it is important to set limits for children.
Respect is the most important part of family relationships and harmony. Maintain control of yourself and your feelings.
| A．A hug is a physical need. |
| B．Respect the child’s self-esteem. |
| C．Remember how important your child is to you. |
| D．Many families don’t stop to think about their values. |
E. Another way a person might show love is through actions.
F. Each person in the family has a need for love and affection.
G. Clearly express to your child what is acceptable behavior in all sorts of daily situations.

●Does failure really exist ?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
●
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.
●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
| A．Never give up on yourself. |
| B．Failure only exists in your own mind! |
| C．That’s exactly how failure makes us feel. |
| D．It simply means you have not done enough yet. |
E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

Many people admit that they aren't prepared financially for life's unexpected challenges and emergencies. If your New Year's decision is to become more financially prepared for a“rainy day”the following tips are helpful for you to save,
Start saving now.
Set specific savings goals and break them down to a set dollar amount to save each paycheck. Save at least a small portion of each paycheck and remain committed to saving, and then look for ways each month to increase the amount.
One of the simplest ways to find money to put toward your rainy day fund is to keep a close eye on where your money is being spent. For two or three months, try keeping track of every expense, including small ones. Once you have a better idea of where your money is going, make a budget that includes a spending and savings plan.
Make saving automatic.
If your goal is to save $5,000 this year, calculate the amount you'll need to save from each paycheck, then arrange to have it automatically saved into your savings account each time you get paid. Visit your bank branch and ask a banker if you can set up automatic transfers into your savings account.
Go on a spending diet.
Avoid spending any money on non-essentials for 30 days and challenge yourself to save as much as you can to put toward your rainy clay fund. Then make a list and determine not to spend on these items for one month,

As a child grows up，you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind，but also learn to respect himself.
●Show him respect.
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others．Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you，understanding how important this is in communication．

The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child，the more likely he will learn to use them．Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation．

Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses．Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience(不顺从)．
●Control your impulse to overreact．
When a situation arises（出现），stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.
●Praise，praise，praise
So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishments（成绩）are not celebrated enough.
| A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses. |
| B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you. |
| C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life. |

Attitudes Wired in Happy and Successful Brains
I’ve carefully examined happy and successful people from all different professions —actors, scientists, comedians, musicians, etc. They share very similar philosophies. Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:
◆ ①
This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.
When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,” we become more resilient and courageous in the face of new challenges.
Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace these challenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we don’t see it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon.
◆ ②
Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.
They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improve these things. They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.
I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I don’t recommend that we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, it’s also important to think of ways we can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.
Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time, but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If you’re going to be critical about something in your life, focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.
◆ ③
Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have: their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc.
Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving – always trying to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better – this inner drive doesn’t take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.
Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achieve great things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for).
◆ ④
Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy and successful individuals. Having peopled to look up to is a great resource for learning the beliefs and habits that contribute to other people’s success, and then modeling those beliefs and habits in our own lives.
If you want to improve a particular area of your life, then find a couple of people who already excel in that area of life. Study them. Ask them questions. Have them show you their technique and share their stories.
The more willing you are to learn from others, the more successful you will be. Talking and listening to others is one of the best ways to get more perspective into what you want to improve in life — and how you can do it.
