A recent study shows that nearly 50 percent of the school kids in Beijing do not have breakfast. They tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in all kinds of tests.
Some students who study deep into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their days with a regular breakfast.

Earthquake experience can be very frightening for anyone. Knowing what to do safely during the earthquake is important. It can help in reducing anxiety and increases the awareness and ability to deal with it properly. No one knows when an earthquake will hit or how damaging it will be. The following are some simple tips that could save your life.
Create an earthquake plan, which includes the actions that you and your family will take when the earthquake occurs, and identify “safe zones” within the house to shelter in when an earthquake strikes. Prepare things like high-energy food, flashlight, radio, batteries and bottled water on hand, as during a quake, it is likely that electricity and water will be cut off.
If you are at home when an earthquake strikes, get under a large item of furniture and hold on or stay in a corner. If the ceiling falls down it will land on the edge of the furniture and slope towards the floor. Stay in your seat if you are in a stadium or a theater. Get below the level of the back of the seat and cover your head and neck with your arms.
If you are walking outdoors when an earthquake strikes, move into an open area away from buildings, street lights and glass windows. These could fall and injure you. If you are driving when an earthquake strikes, carefully pull over at the side of the road and don’t get out of your car until the shakes pass.
After the earthquake, avoid routes with tunnels or bridges in case of aftershocks. Electricity and water supplies are likely to be cut off, so save your water supplies. Listen to a battery-operated radio for emergency instructions and information. Use the telephone for emergency calls only.

Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).
We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.

There is no such thing as a hard rule when it comes to leadership. There are generally accepted principles that, when studied and applied, are believed to be helpful in improving one’s leadership skills.
People become more willing to work if they feel important. Effective leaders help their organization’s members develop their self-esteem. You can do this by paying more attention to them and expressing your interest in their opinions every time you converse. The key here is being sincere and expressing your appreciation through the smallest gestures.
Members of an organization are more able to adapt to changes if there is a specific plan of action laid out. Planning is crucial in effective leadership because it provides the organization with a concrete direction and identifiable (可识别的) means to achieve its goals. As a leader, you should initiate (开始) planning and make an effort in communicate those plans as clearly as possible to your members. This will strengthen your members’ decision-making skills and allow for effective delegation.
A highly motivating work environment is undoubtedly a productive one. The organization benefits the most when its members are continuously motivated to work for and with it. You can provide deserving members with public recognition even through a simple mention of their names and accomplishments. Offering challenges that allow your members to grow is a brilliant way to motivate them to be more competitive. You can hand out incentives such as bonuses or promotions to high-performing members so that your members will have something to look forward to in exchange for job well done.
These three principles are all important in improving your leadership skills. But they are not enough. The success of your leadership will ultimately depend on the way you recognize your organization’s needs and how you can adapt your leadership style to those needs.
Only you can tell what “good” leadership is for your organization. Likewise, it’s only you who can determine how you can become a “good” leader.

There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother’s Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The Ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years the custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.
Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people --- politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials---and asked them to support her ideas: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.
In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother’s Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10---the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.
Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.
Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned (大失所望的) woman died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry.

My young cousin Jim seems to have endless question to ask every day. One day, he asked me what life on earth began after watching a film. To be honest, the question remains a puzzle to me. Besides, in order not to let him down, I found the answer in a book, said, “Long ago the earth was a cloud dust. The dust settled into a solid globe before billions of years. The earth became so violently that it was not clear that the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. Then water began to appear. As the time went on, different life forms began.”
Millions of children are considered fat in the United States. And these children are at greater risk of bone and joint(关节) problems, and poor self-confidence. While the government is working on programs to stop this trend, experts stress that prevention should start at home.
The first step to a healthy home is to simplify your shopping list, Mary Jones Verbovski, a pediatric dietitian(儿科营养学家)at Seattle Children’s Hospital, recommends fresh milk products, meats and vegetables——the brighter, the better. “Look for naturally colorful foods,” she said. “More nutrients, vitamins and minerals are naturally present there.”
Parents can become role models for their children by enjoying the process of cooking for the family. “When children grow up in a positive, loving environment where they cook and eat meals together, they’re more likely to absorb that into their own lives and families as they grow,” Verbovski said. “Inviting kids to join in the kitchen activities also helps the parents,” notes Verbovski. “If your child helps with cooking and food preparation, you get an understanding of what they like and what they may be willing to try,” she said.
It’s important to pass on nutritional facts to your children in a way that they’ll remember them. Nancy Walsh, who volunteers with the Junior League program, says keeping kids involved form start to finish helps them to learn nutritional and exercise tips and they’ll remember what they have learned through play and carry it with them as they grow up. The key is making it fun, while encouraging good discipline(纪律) and limits. “Find a way to make exercise and fitness fun and playful, not work or a chore,” Verbovski said.
TOKYO, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded the forecast for global economic growth for 2012 to 3.3 percent before the IMF-World Bank 2012 annual meetings. The IMF called on all players to cooperate closely to improve the global economy as the global economy recovered more slowly than the IMF’s forecast in April due to many uncertainties.
“In advanced countries, growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment, and in major emerging countries, growth which had been strong earlier has also decreased.” said the IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard at the press conference.
Good effects have been observed with right action taken by some central banks in the euro area, and IMF received the good signals and considered them a good opportunity to seize as many uncertainties, in every corner of the world, preventing the decision makers from investing, creating jobs and developing values. The IMF suggested if the measures continued working effectively, there is reason to believe the most difficult time for Europe will pass soon, the recovery will begin in 2013.
Looking into the future, IMF suggested there are four key policies for all members to do to make the economy keep going forward.
Firstly, continue to complete the financial sector reform contributing to the safety of the financial sector, as the safety has not improved much yet than five years ago. And then, countries should deal with the legacy(遗留) of high debt, especially in the advanced economies, which have extremely high level. Policy makers also need to expand the employment on creating the condition for economic growth, because the jobless rate among young people is unacceptable. Finally, all members of IMF should face the global unbalance, which is the topic that has been talked about for a long time.
Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Director, said the annual meetings of IMF could provide a broad platform for players, both new ones from the emerging market and traditional ones from the advanced market, and cooperation is the thing most needed, because the global economy is a cooperative game.

Leadership Training on the Importance of Cooperation
As we all know in order for a team to be successful they need to be able to effectively work together. Without cooperation within the team all of us members won’t be able to function at their fullest potential. And as a leader it would be your job to achieve cooperation within the whole team for only through this will you be able to achieve your goal with your team. This article will be helping you discover ways to bring out cooperation from the whole team. This would be teaching you on how to work with people through partnership which is based on mutual trust and respect. These are the vial things needed for the development of cooperation and teamwork which you need to focus in your leadership training.
Be loyal to your team
An organization is divided into two groups, the employees and the management. Most of the times the interests of the two groups don't go together and as a leader you would commonly be caught in between. You are a member of the management but you are working hand in hand with the employees. You also need to show concern for your team. Be on their side yet not compromising the management’s side. Let them understand that you know where they’re coming from. Through this you will gain their loyalty which is the basic component of cooperation.
Gain their trust
Gaining the trust of your members doesn't only give the chance to develop cooperation within the team. It also gives you the chance to gain loyalty from them. By gaining their loyalty they will be able to follow you without hesitation and doubt. However, gaining a person’s trust is more easily said than done but the most important thing required to gain a person’s trust is being genuine and consistent. Be always fair on all your members at all times.
Don't make them feel you’re just after your gains
In building a connection with your team, you should always make them feel that you’re not just using them for your own gains. You should learn that people don't like the feeling of being used by others. They would be discouraged and would tend not to do their best if they feel that way. You should make them feel that you’re pushing them not only for your own gains but also for their benefits. Avoid making them feel that you are just using them for your own reasons.
A team won’t ever be successful without teamwork and cooperation. Therefore as a leader try your very best to inspire teamwork on your team. Be a role model to your team and always show them that you are a team player. This would greatly encourage your team to follow your example.
When students arrive on campus with their parents, both parties often assume that the college will function in loco parentis(处在父母位置),watching over its young charges, providing assistance when needed. Colleges and universities present themselves as supportive learning communities-as extended families, in a way. And indeed, for many students they become a home away from home. Ideally, the college nurtures(养育)its students, guiding them toward adulthood. Lifelong friendships are formed, teachers become guides, and the academic experience is enriched by social interaction. For some students, however, the picture is less beautiful. For a significant number, the challenges can become overwhelming(压力过大).
In reality, administrators at American colleges and universities are often forced to focus as much on the new generation of students.Public institutions in particular are often faced with tough choices about which student support services to fund. Private colleges are feeling the pinch(棘手)as well.Although tuition and fees can increase as much as 6.6 percent in a single year, as they did in 2007, the high cost of doing business at public and private institutions means that students are not necessarily receiving more support in return for increased tuition and fees. To compound the problem, students may be reluctant to seek help even when they desperately need it. Just as colleges are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges being posed by today's students, students themselves are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges posed by college life. Although they arrive on campus with high expectations, some students struggle with shyness or perfectionism, learning disabilities or eating disorders·Still others experience failed relationships; some suffer from acute loneliness, or mental illness.
Unfortunately, higher education is sometimes more of an information delivery system than a responsive, collaborative(合作的)process. We have created cities of youth in which students can pass through unnoticed, their voices rarely heard, and their faces rarely seen. As class size grows in response to budget cuts, it becomes even less likely that troubled students, or even severely disturbed, will be noticed. When they are not, the results can be tragic.
As a teacher of creative writing who has worked with many overwhelmed students, I have found that there are ways to communicate more effectively. Most students have stories they want to share, and students in trouble can be desperate to find someone who will listen to them. Parents, as their children's primary listeners, have a key role to play. Some young people are unable to find their own way out of the dark, and a meaningful dialogue can become a light for them to see by. That is not to say that writing can be used to identify mental illness; rather, I think some of the approaches writing teachers use to enter into a reflective dialogue with students can be adopted by parents and students who want to learn more about each other. Having witnessed what can happen when a student communicates with himself, I believe this kind of responsive, one-on-one communication is more important than ever. Students in creative writing classes may have no idea that they have revealed so much about themselves because, for them, writing is like speaking inside the pages of a journal. In fact, all of us who write reveal more than we imagine. This is one of the reasons why writing, even more than speaking, can provide us with important insights into ourselves and others.
Many of us don't know our students as well as we should, yet it can be easier than we imagine to begin these necessary dialogues.
Observational Learning: To See Is to Know
A group of psychologists, led by Albert Bandura, developed social learning theory, which emphasizes the fact that much learning occurs in a social context. This kind of learning, which results simply from observing and imitating the behaviors of others, is called observational learning. Observational learning helps people acquire proper behaviors in their families and cultures: By watching others, we learn how to greet people, eat, laugh and tell jokes. Do you still remember your first few days in senior grade one? By watching others, you learned how people talked to each other, what clothes were “fashionable,” and how to interact with instructors.
The people from whom you learn new behaviors through observing function as models, presenting a behavior to be imitated. With modeling, you observe others’ behaviors, and then none, some, or all of these behaviors may be learned and repeated, or modified. In one of Bandura’s classic studies, children were divided into three groups: One group watched an adult beating up a Bobo doll, one group watched an adult ignoring the Bobo doll, and the third didn’t see an adult at all. After being mildly frustrated by being placed in a room with toys, but not being allowed to play with some of them, all of the children were then placed in another room with a variety of toys, including a Bobo doll. Children in the first group tended to imitate what they had seen, mistreating the doll (and inventing new ways to abuse it) and being aggressive with the other toys in the room.
Researchers have discovered that several characteristics of models can make learning through observation more effective. Not surprisingly, the more you pay attention to the model, the more you learn. You are more likely to pay attention if the model is an expert, is good looking, has high status, or is socially powerful. Second, by watching others, we learn about what behaviors are appropriate for people like ourselves, so models who are seen as similar are more readily imitated. All students need to see successful, capable models who look and sound like them.
Then, as teachers, how can you apply observational learning? Here are a few guidelines. Above all, model the behaviors and attitudes you desire your students to learn. For example, show enthusiasm for the subject you teach. Be willing to demonstrate both the mental and the physical tasks you expect the students to perform. Second, use peers, especially class leaders, as models. For example, in group work, pair students who do well with those who are having difficulties. Third, you may seek the help of class leaders in modeling behaviors. Examples include letting high-status students lead an activity when you need class cooperation or when students are likely to be reluctant at first.

Aids today
Aids, the short form for acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is caused by a virus called HIV, which enters a person’s blood and attacks the body’s immune (免疫的) system. There is no cure for HIV or Aids, and after a person has been infected, he or she will always carry the virus. Sometimes, infected people have no outward symptoms.
HIV and Aids are spreading across the world at a frightening rate, with about 14,000 people being infected daily. The virus is spread in three ways -- through unprotected sex, blood-blood contact and mother-to-child transmission. Unprotected sex is the most common way that the virus is spread, accounting for 75 percent of adult infections worldwide.
Although many people are familiar with Aids and how it is transmitted, more than a few people hold the view that HIV and Aids are an African problem because the infection rates there are very high. However, HIV and Aids are a problem all over the world. Since the disease was discovered in the 1980s, it has become a serious problem in many places, infecting over 60 million people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization estimates from 2005, more than 4 million children had died from Aids, and more than 14 million children had lost their parents to Aids. All of this makes it clear that something must be done to stop this deadly disease.
The government is working hard to control the Aids epidemic and has opened labs to test and monitor the disease. In 2003, the government also started providing free drugs for Aids patients in need.
The United Nations has been very involved in fighting HIV and Aids around the world for many years now. UNAIDS, an organization founded in 1996, helps prevent the spread of Aids. The work includes providing infected people with help from doctors and testing for people. The organization also offers programs that teach Aids prevention to young people and sets up treatment centers.
Facebook is one of the most popular websites that offer social networking today with more than l billion users around the world. Online social networking is just like-minded people coming together for some activities, forming groups, having discussions, sharing photographs, etc. Similarly, Facebook enables all these activities by various applications(运用程序) , for example, providing forums, photo sharing options. video updating, keeping a track on all the happenings in their formed communities, people they have approved to be linked to, etc. Online gaming is one of the biggest USPs(独特的卖点) of Facebook, and indeed, games like Farmville and Mafia Wars have attracted many users to the site. Facebook also offered a brilliant platform for business to reach out to their customers.
In the beginning, Facebook was just meant for Harvard University students to find and contact fellow students. It was meant to serve the purpose of keeping track of who was new to college to get in touch with each other for project purposes. It was an online directory(目录) , and was founded in 2004 0n the Harvard University campus. However, as soon as it was launched, almost two thirds of the total number of students registered themselves on Facebook. Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, along with Chris Hughes, Dustin Moskovitz. and Eduardo Saverin. helped in the launch of the site. To pursue this, Mark dropped out of Harvard and got into making Facebook a worldwide accessible site, and then to its current stand of being the top social networking site in the world.
Today, Facebook rules the social networking world, with one person in fourteen using it. It is also the second most popular site in the US, and is worth billions of dollars. And it has been a success story for the four co-founders, making them all accidental billionaires.

Ideally speaking, criticism(批评) is the act of making comments on someone or something with the purpose of improving products or service. However in daily life, you will meet some people criticizing with the negative purposes,
What should you do when you are being criticized? Actually, you should take it positively. It is possible that the person who criticizes you has rightly drawn your attention to something which needs improving. If this is the case, be thankful to the person because he is helping you to know where to improve.
However, there is also a chance that the criticism is being done just to make you sad. So if necessary, ask one of your friends or workmates what he thinks of this criticism. If the criticism is really meant to hurt you, pay no attention to it and don’t allow it to disturb your peace of mind.
When you are criticizing someone or something, always remember that negative criticism causes negative energy, so try to criticize in a positive manner. Do not become the “full stop” for someone’s creativity
Whenever you are about to criticize, ask yourself whether your purpose is to help the person or if you are just going to spread negativity which will damage someone’s creative skills.
If you really want to criticize someone, do it in an encouraging way. Try to give your comments in this way so that he can put your suggestions into corrective(改正的) actions. What’s more, you should remember the fact that complaining is taking criticism to the next level which is even more damaging and dangerous. So try to remain inside the limits of criticism instead of complaining.

Coffee has become a popular drink in our culture. Most people have a coffee maker at home for guests who come to visit. It naturally contains caffeine (咖啡因), which people in today’s society have somewhat come to rely on (依靠) to provide them with energy.
In the workplace many people start their day with a cup of coffee, and then continue to drink it until it’s time to go home. Many meetings also begin with a cup of coffee --- which is why so many workplaces now have a steady flow of office coffee.
Coffee is unsurprisingly one of the most traded agricultural products in the world, supporting the economy in many countries. Coffee is made from the roasted(烤,烘,焙) seeds of coffee cherries, which grow on trees in over 70 countries. The seeds are roasted to different degrees depending on the flavors wanted, and then are brewed (泡,煮) to create the coffee drink. Coffee is usually sold already roasted, so that all you have to do is add hot water.
Coffee is labeled according to its appearance --- light, medium light, medium, medium dark, dark, or very dark.
People argue a lot about whether the effect of drinking coffee is positive or negative. Some people think that drinking too much coffee is bad for our health. But you can buy decaffeinated (脱去咖啡因的) coffee, which has a lot less caffeine. Most people, however, would not care about the negative effects of drinking coffee.
