One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
| A．That’s easy. |
| B．Enjoy your own club! |
| C．Invite a designer to join you. |
| D．What are you interest in? |
E. Summer vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we’ve never been before．
But just as in face to face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．
For anything you’re about to send，ask yourself，“Would I say this to the person’s face？”If the answer is no，rewrite and reread． .
If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so． If it was caused by a disagreement with another member，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．
Offer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it’s a small mistake，you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else．
At the same time，if you find you are wrong，be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as age，sex，and marital status．Unless you know the person very well，and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information，don’t ask such questions．
| A．Everyone was new to the network once． |
| B．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake，point it out politely． |
| C．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online． |
| D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated． |
E．You should either ignore the person，or use your chat software to block their messages．
F．When you send short messages to a person online，you must say something beautiful to hear．
G．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying words to a person’s face．

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．

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control—hard to find just when you want it most. But there are ways to increase your willpower.
*Don’t try to change your economic situation, win a promotion or lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t spread yourself too thin.
*Whatever your goal is, don’t expect to achieve it overnight, If you are trying to kick a coffee habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.
* Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.
*If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking?
| A．Real success takes time. |
| B．Focus on one goal at a time. |
| C．Change your environment to change your life. |

| A．Means of ewaste recycling B．How ewaste comes into being C．The benefit of ewaste recycling D．The technologies of ewaste recycling E．The importance of the electronic waste recycle F．Modern technology brings convenience and ewaste |
Modern technology does bring us many conveniences（便利），from WiFi（无线网络）enabled cell phones and ever smaller laptop computers that make entire lives easy to energy efficient washers that use half the power and time to complete their tasks. However，these new toys and equipment finally become electronic waste （ 电子垃圾）（e waste）once they are out of use.
E waste includes everything from empty printer ink containers to broken refrigerators. As people buy new items to replace aging electronics or make upgrades（升级），more electronic waste comes into being. In some cases，such as 2009's switch from analog（模拟）to digital television broadcasting in the United States，changes in technology are so great that old equipment may not even work at all with new systems.
There are many reasons why it is important to recycle electronic waste. Much of the material used to construct electronics，including metal and plastic parts，can be recycled into new items at a discount of the cost and energy use needed to create things from new raw materials（原材料）. Additionally，many electronics contain poisonous substances （有毒物质）that are harmful to the environment and could be deadly if they go into an area's groundwater. When properly recycled，they can be reused and will not do harm to the environment. Because of these environmental concerns，many areas require by law that electronic waste be properly recycled.
The availability（可用性）of ewaste recycling programs varies from place to place. In some areas，annual collections are held once or twice a year as a means of dealing with ewaste as well as used engine oil or other waste that is harmful to the environment. There are also some good alternatives （替代品） to recycling your ewaste. Any items that are in working condition can be given to friends or donated to charities（慈善机构）like Goodwill or the Salvation Army，who rely heavily on donations （ 捐赠） . Freecycling ，or passing on your unwanted items to those in need of them，is also a means of finding new homes for used items.
Ewaste recycling helps protect the environment by reducing the amount of poisonous materials placed in landfills（垃圾场）and saving recyclable parts to save energy and other resources. Recycling is a way of life. Stick to that choice every single day and recycling will become second nature to us.
