　　One day a rich boy bought a magic mirror(镜子)．When he got home, he looked in the mirror．His face looked sad．He tried to smile and make funny faces, his face looked still sad．Then he did many happy things, but his face always looked sad．

　　“Oh, what a terrible mirror! It doesn't work!” he said angrily．

　　The next day on his way to buy some chocolate, he saw a little girl crying sadly．The rich boy went up to her and asked what had happened．The little girl said she couldn't find her parents．“Don't worry．I'll help you,” the rich boy said．So they went to look for them together．Finally they found her parents．They were so thankful for his help．After the rich boy arrived home, he looked in the mirror as usual．To his surprise, his face looked very happy．The boy understood the magic of the mirror．The mirror could show the true feelings of its owner．This was true－the rich boy had helped that little girl so he felt really happy．

　　It's easier to agree than disagree．The following tips(建议)can help keep disagreements constructive(建设性的)．

Don't make it personal．

　　If you get upset, it can help to remember that you're mad at the person's idea, not the person．

Never criticize the other person's idea．

　　Instead of saying “That's a stupid idea!”, try：“I don't agree, and here's why．” Never shout loudly and you'll have a much better chance of getting your idea across．

Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel and what you think．

　　Using “you” statements can sound argumentative(好争论的)．For example, telling your mom “You always remind me about my chores when I have a lot of homework” has a very different tone(语气)from “I'm under pressure because I have a lot of homework tonight．Can I do those chores tomorrow?”

Listen to the other point of view．

　　When the other person is talking, try to stop thinking about why you disagree or what you'll say next．Instead, focus on what's being said．When it's your turn to talk, repeat any key points the other person made to show you have paid attention to what was said．Then calmly express why you disagree．

Stay calm．

　　This is the most important thing you can do to keep a conversation go on well．

　　In many British schools, the pupils usually wear their school uniforms to school on weekdays．However, recently the students at LVS Ascot Junior School in England wore something quite different．What they wore was what people wear when they go to bed－pyjamas(睡衣)．They did this not only for fun, but for a local charity called Christopher's Smile．

　　Christopher's Smile was set up in 2008 by Karen ＆ Kevin Capel whose only son Christopher died of cancer at a young age．They hope their charity will help pay for more research into children's cancers．Since then, the charity has raised a lot of money and gotten more and more volunteers．Every year, thousands of people take part in different activities such as charity walk or run to show their support for Christopher's Smile．

　　The students of Grade 6 at LVS Ascot Junior School also wanted to do something for the sick children．They organized the event “Pyjama Day” to support Christopher's Smile．“We wanted to raise money for our charity in a way that the whole school could join in it, so each pupil paid ￡1 to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjama Day,” said the young organizers．Both the students and their teachers took part in the event with great interest．Together they not only raised some money, but also had a good time．

　　We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others．

　　Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories．

　　Spencer Johnson's story Who Moved My Cheese? shows changes exist in(存在于)our life．Life changes and so we do．We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail．

　　Just look at the cycle(循环)of the seasons．Trees bud(发芽)in spring and in summer their leaves turn green．In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground．When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees．Next spring the cycle begins again．Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them．We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly．

　　Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life．

　　We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(灵活的))．We can regard the changes in our life as chances．As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life．

　　Recently, many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping through the Internet．They are very interested in it．Why is it becoming more and more popular now? There are some reasons．First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet．So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet．Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time．Third, they don't need to go to the shop themselves．Because of these good facts, few people refuse it．

　　On the other hand, some people don't like this new way of shopping．They are worried about the safety of shopping online．Customers(顾客)can only see the pictures of a product on the Internet．And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping center．These are the reasons why they do not like it．

　　But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future．

　　One day, there was a blind man called John sitting on the bench with a hat by his feet and a sign that read, "I am blind．Please help me．”

　　Later that afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost full of bills and coins．The blind man recognized(识别)his footsteps and asked if it was he who had changed his sign．He also wanted to know what the man wrote on it．

　　The publicist said, "I just wrote the message a little differently．” He smiled and went on his way．

　　The new sign read, "Spring has come, but I can't see anything．”

　　DNA is the whole “map” of the human body．It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do．DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own．

　　People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time．In I860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family．It is because of small things called “genes”(基因)in our body．In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages．They're written in the DNA with a special language．

　　In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language．It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts,(有几个单词看不清)the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do．By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses．So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do．

　　Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people：Other people worry that when wc Icam more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive(有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs．

　　Here's one very simple but lifechanging advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy．Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour．Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life．

　　If you're a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales．

　　This applies(适用)to all fields, not just the work-related(与工作相关的)ones．Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person．Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development．

　　One hour a day is not much．But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that's about 260 hours a year．That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice．

　　If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life．Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind．You will start to see more chances in your life．

　　Now, you might think something like this：

　　1．I really don't have the money…

　　Answer：Visit your public library or search the database(数据库)．Or look for books that are used in places like amazon．com．

　　2．I really don't have the time…

　　Answer：Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work．Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike/bus to work or school．Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular．．．

　　Shut off the TV a little earlier and start reading．
