Your Teen Is Falling Asleep in Class

*Help your teen develop a nighttime routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. __ Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.
*___ This will reinforce (增强) what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.

A Guide for Young People: What to Do with Your Life
You can’t figure out the future. Even young people who have a plan (be a doctor, lawyer, research scientist, singer) don’t really know what will happen. Life doesn’t go according to plans. So if you can’t figure out the future, what do you do? Don’t focus on the future. Focus on what you can do right now that will be good no matter what the future brings.
______ The best things in life are often hard, and if you shy away from difficulty, you’ll miss out. You’ll live a life of safety. Learning is hard. Building something great is hard. Writing a book is hard. A marriage is hard. Running a marathon is hard. All are amazing. How do you get good at this? Do things now that are uncomfortable and hard, on purpose.
______ Starting a business, for example, is an amazing thing to do. But if you’re afraid of the unknown future, you’ll avoid it. You can’t know how things will turn out, and so if you need to know how things will turn out, you’ll avoid great projects, businesses, opportunities. But if you can be OK with not knowing, you will be open to many more possibilities. If you’re good at what you are not sure of, you could do all kinds of things.
______ Most people don’t realize that fear controls them. They don’t notice when they fail to fix their attention, or consider doing things they told themselves they wouldn’t do. It’s hard to change mental habits because you don’t always see what’s going on in your head. Learn about how your mind works, and you’ll be much better at all of this.
______ I don’t think money is that important, but it is necessary in your life. Making money is hard. You have to make someone believe in you enough to hire you or buy your products/service, which means you have to figure out why you’re worthy of someone believing in you. You have to become worthy. And you have to learn to communicate that to people so they’ll want to buy or hire you. Whether you’re selling cookies door-to-door or trying to get a job as a cashier, you have to do this.
______ If you do all of the above, or at least most of it, you’ll be amazing. You’ll be way, way ahead of pretty much every other person your age. And good fortune will come your way, if you have your eyes open: job opportunities, a chance to build something with someone, an idea for a start up that you can build yourself, a new thing to learn and turn into a business. Take risks — that’s one of the advantages of being young. And if none come along, create your own.

English is far more worldwide in its allocation than all other spoken languages.25% to 33% of the people in the world understand and speak English to some degree.And most of them can use English freely.____

There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.
    Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sports and leisure activities as well as school expectations.
The business also adds another factor: They need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.         Computers, DVDs, CDs, television, Play-Stations and X-boxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a lifestyle of less exercise.
 . Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard (轰炸) their audience with “ perfect” body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.
Environments vary.         This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.
  . Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy---if he/she is motivated enough!

A．The media provide entertainment and information.

B．Advertisements play an important role in people’s life.

C．We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke.

D．Nowadays, people are very busy.

E. People are living in a bad air environment.
F. The important one is motivation or the desire to be healthy.
G. Today society places a lot of emphasis on technology.

Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
   Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to procrastinate(拖延). By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from project to project. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each project or task as a challenge they must overcome alone.     
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often promotes laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. Complete a certain number of chores and reward yourself with a good dinner. 
   Spouse(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not addressed quickly. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own chores. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
    Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help boost your mood.

A．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

B．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

C．Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.

D．If you have a hobby, celebrate after completing a project.

E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.  Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what’s appropriate for our family:
Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn’t a big issue if you’re not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.” 
Don’t trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn’t take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important.   There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.
   The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I’m aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention(干涉).
Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can’t shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn’t fit exactly with our values. They’re going to hear a swear word from time to time—and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we’re watching are kissing. 

A．If it doesn’t feel good, turn it off.

B．And be aware of cartoons!

C．We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

D．The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

E. But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?
F. Watch TV with them.
G. Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun.

   Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines． Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium．

   Magazine Benefits

   Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively， breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more．
