In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.       Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
  Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
  Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:     If you want too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.
Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online. 
Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.
Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

Most fitness advice is aimed at a general audience. But if you’re an older adult, the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some tips for seniors to get started and keep them at the top of their game.
      Talk with your doctor about getting permission to begin a fitness program and making any changes to suit your situation.
       Before starting, pick a program you’ll enjoy, so you’ll do it regularly. Check out the facility and the staff. Is the place friendly? Can you change clothes comfortably? Are facilities easily accessed?
Determine your participation style. Choose what’s best for you — a class or going solo? Morning or night hours?       
Start slowly. Most people are overeager and sometimes overdo it. Record a baseline of your regular activities and determine a reasonable plan.
Make a date. Find a friend to exercise with you and keep you motivated.
Set specific short-term and long-term goals. Plan for activity in your day and make it a priority.
Remind yourself what your goals are. If it hurts, don’t do it.       And once you’ve reached your goal, treat yourself for the good job you’ve done, so it will encourage you to continue.

. She described all the things she had to do --- one was to make her bed --- from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest.
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years --- and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. ”I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either. ”
One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.
So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. . The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.

A．This woman had made two major breakthroughs.

B．Above all, you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly.

C．They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.

D．However, she went along with my idea.

E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

You may feel comfortable with some people．You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half a life．These people have something in common．And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? __ If you follow the skills, you’ll make friends with people quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions．____ One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning．It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to some other questions．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．
____ This point seems clear, but it isn’t．Your question should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to．And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things．______ If someone sticks to one topic, it means he’s really interested in it．Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones （语气） of voice．If the voice sounds boring, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well when to say good-bye．Remember to give him a handshake and say, “ I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” ______ Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

A．Almost anyone will answer a question.

B．Here are several skills that good talkers have.

C．If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.

D．First, it means not to change the subject of the conversation.

E．Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers.

To be confident
Confidence of success is almost success. Here’s how to believe in yourself.
Remember that everyone struggles with confidence. Some people are good at hiding it, but nearly every person has struggled with his or her self-confidence at one point.   
Accept compliment(恭维;敬意) politely. When someone compliments you, make eye contact, smile, and say “thank you”. It shows that you’re polite and have a secure sense of self-worth. If you’re still uncomfortable taking compliments, try giving one back after you’ve accepted one.     
That’s a simple and an effective psychological technique to become confident. When you are talking louder you are sending the signal that you are confident, and as you make it as a habit you will feel more confident. But don’t be dominating(专横的).
Look the part. Or, as the saying goes, “Fake it till you make it.”     Devote a little time each day to make sure you’re presenting yourself well. Keep your shoulders back, walk with purpose instead of dragging your feet, and sit up straight. Smile and make eye contact. It’s a small change, but it can work wonders on what other people think of you.
Develop your interests. If there’s a sport or hobby you’ve always wanted to be good at, now’s the time! Improving your skills will show that you are talented, and make you confident. Learn a musical instrument or a foreign language; take up an art form like painting----whatever it is that catches your interest.        Remember that learning is a process, and you’re in it for the small victories and the relaxing time, not to be the best ever.

A．Make a list.

B．You’re not alone!

C．Talk a little louder.

D．Stop comparing yourself with everyone else.

E. Don’t get discouraged if you’re not immediately awesome.
F. This can help you feel like the score is “even” and you haven’t been too prideful.
G. If you know that you look like a confident person, eventually you’ll start to feel it, too.
