1、 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p807011/ 時間膠囊：我想告訴年輕時的自己Looking back at my younger years, I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out. Nothing is exactly what I had originally planned for.

2、d hang out with my younger self for a day, heres what I would tell her.回首年輕的時候，有時我會驚訝于生活的變遷。一切都不是我最初計劃的樣子，唯一不變的是我自己、我的價值觀和我的興趣。如果我能回到過去和年輕時的自己漫步一整天，下面就是我要對自己說的。1. Everything happens for a reason.一切事情都有原因。Without mistakes and failure, you would never have learned. Without pain, you would never have g

And only time will tell what it will teach us.要是沒有錯誤和失敗，你就不會學到東西；要是沒有痛苦，你就不會長大。一旦你明白了這些，你就知道了一切事情都是為了某種目的而發(fā)生。所以不要緊張或者認為生活不公平

4、，因為一切事情都有原因，只有時間能訴說教會了我們什么。2. Focus on one thing at a time. You can have it all but not all at once.一次只關注一件事。你將會擁有一切，但不能一次就全部實現(xiàn)。It is not surprising that many of us are doing too many things at once. We need to make ends meet. But if you are working three jobs at a time, it is not likely that you wi

5、ll succeed at any of them. You have to keep your eyes on the big picture. You have to ask yourself what exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10 years? Focus on one thing at a time. Achieve your goals one by one.我們中有很多人會同時做超多事情，這并不奇怪，我們需要養(yǎng)家糊口。但如果你同時做3份工作，每份工作你都不可能做好。你要著眼于大局，問問自己未來10年究竟想要達到什么目標

6、。一次只做一件事，讓目標一個接一個實現(xiàn)。3. You can plan ahead, but your plan will definitely change when the time comes.你可以提前計劃，但計劃沒有變化快。You can plan ahead because sometimes planning ahead can give you a clearer direction of where you want to go. However, plans will almost always change, so be prepared!你可以提前做好計劃，因為有時提前

7、做計劃能讓你更加明確自己前進的方向。然而計劃總是會變，所以你要有心理準備！4. Trust your instincts.相信自己的直覺。Dont worry too much about a decision you have to make. Just do what feels right. You know what you want. You might consult other people. But deep down, you know what you want. Do what makes you happy. Because at the end of the day,

8、 even if you follow logic, you will want to quit and follow your heart.做決定時不要過于擔心，就做你認為對的事，你知道自己想要什么。你可能要咨詢他人，但內(nèi)心深處你知道自己想要什么。做讓你開心的事，因為到最后，即使你的決定符合邏輯也會想放棄，然后追隨你的心。5. Its okay to be unsure about your purpose in life.生活目標不明確也沒關系。You might be graduating or have hit a turning point with your career. You

9、 might feel a bit lost and unsure of where to go. Its okay. Go out there and try as many different things as you can. Dont ever feel like youre wasting your time. Enjoy the journey. Dont rush. Every little path will lead you somewhere. And looking back, you will be able to connect the dots. It will

10、all make sense.你可能正面臨畢業(yè)或事業(yè)遇到轉(zhuǎn)折點，你可能會感覺有點迷失、找不到方向，沒關系，走出去盡可能多嘗試不同的事情。不要覺著自己是在浪費時間。享受過程，不要著急，每條路都會把你帶向遠方?；厥讜r你就能把點點滴滴聯(lián)系在一起，發(fā)現(xiàn)一切都有意義。6. Dont try too hard with people.與人交往不能強求。Dont worry if you feel like its hard to make new friends. Just be yourself and be as open as you can. It might take a while until

11、 you find new best friends and a mate for life, but when you do, you will know it. Its not hard work. So, just do your thing and be yourself.如果你感覺很難交到新朋友也不必擔心，只要做好你自己、盡可能真誠就可以?？赡苄枰欢螘r間你才能找到新的最好的朋友和終生伴侶，但當你找到了你就知道，這一點也不難。所以你要做好自己的事、做好你自己。7. Take of leap of faith in yourself.提高自信。Youve got nothing to

12、lose but everything to gain. If you fail, youll become smarter; If you succeed, youll gain even more self-confidence and the emotional and financial rewards. See life as a progressive journey. And youll most certainly achieve anything you set your mind to.你沒什么可失去的，但你可以贏得一切。如果你失敗了，你會變得更精明；如果你成功了，你會獲得

13、更多自信以及精神和金錢上的回報。把生活看成一個發(fā)展的過程，才最有可能做成你一心想做的事 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p805839/ 你是不是愛錯人了？看看這12個跡象你占幾條Crushingis HYPERLINK http:/dict.hjengl/w/tough tough, and sometimes when the HYPERLINK http:/dict.hjengl/w/object objectof your HYPERLINK http:/dict.hjengl/w/affection affectionis giving you a mi

To assist inshedding some light onyour current situation, take a peek at theses 12 signs youre crushing

15、on the wrong person.暗戀是很辛苦的，有時候，你心儀的人給你的回應是一系列模棱兩可的信號，你很難知道到底應該放棄、還是更進一步、還是維持現(xiàn)狀來觀察他們的忽冷忽熱是不是要開始變成愛的火花。以下這12種跡象表明你愛錯人了，為了幫你弄清楚自己的現(xiàn)況，一起看一下吧。 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p807621/ 單身的美好，進入圍城的人怎么能懂Being single doesnt have to be a bad thing - in fact, for some people, its even better than being paired

16、up, with researchers finding that single life can impart a whole lot of benefits that marriage doesnt.單身并不是一件壞事事實上，對一些人來說，比結(jié)婚更好，研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)單身生活能帶來太多婚姻無法給予的好處。Psychologist Bella DePaulo, pointed to evidence that single people can have richer, more meaningful lives than their married counterparts.心理學家蓓拉迪波洛指

17、出相關證據(jù)，表明單身的人比結(jié)婚后擁有更豐富更有意義的生活。The preoccupation with the perils of loneliness can obscure the profound benefits of solitude, said DePaulo, from the University of California, Santa Barbara.“長時間思考孤獨的危害會模糊掉獨處帶來的深切益處，”來自加州大學圣巴巴拉分校的迪波洛說道。It is time for a more accurate portrayal of single people and single

18、 life - one that recognises the real strengths and resilience of people who are single, and what makes their lives so meaningful.“是時候給單身的人和單身生活一個更精準的描述了一個認識到單身人真正的力量和適應力，以及是什么讓他們的生活如此有意義的描述?！監(jiān)ne study cited by DePaulo showed that people who are single are often closer to their parents, siblings, fri

19、ends, neighbours, and co-workers. Another study showed they had a heightened sense of self-determination, and demonstrated continued growth and development as an adult.迪波洛引用的一份研究表明單身的人往往和他們的父母、兄弟姐妹、朋友、鄰居和同事更親近。另一項研究表明他們有更高的自主能力，而且能夠展現(xiàn)出作為成年人的持續(xù)性成長和自我提高。There is no one blueprint for the good life, she

20、 said. What matters is not what everyone else is doing or what other people think we should be doing, but whether we can find the places, the spaces and the people that fit who we really are and allow us to live our best lives.“好的生活不只有一幅藍圖，”她說?！耙o的不是其他人在做什么或者其他人認為我們應該做什么，而是我們是否可以找到真正適合我們的地方、空間和人，能夠讓

21、我們過最好的生活?！盤eople who marry get access to more than 1,000 federal benefits and protections, many of them financial, DePaulo said of single people living in the US. Considering all of the financial and cultural advantages people get just because they are married, it becomes even more striking that sin

22、gle people are doing as well as they are.“已婚人士可以獲得超過1000項聯(lián)邦福利和保護，許多都是和財政相關的，”迪波洛談及生活在美國的單身人說道。“考慮到所有僅僅因為結(jié)婚就能獲得財政和文化特權(quán)，單身的人依然故我就變得越來越受關注。”Most didnt even look at single people in their own right, using them to instead investigate marriage. “Only a very small number of the studies were motivated by a

23、desire to learn anything about single people. Typically, single people were the comparison group in studies designed to elucidate something about marriage,” she said. 大多數(shù)文章甚至不把單身群體獨立看待，而是用他們來調(diào)查婚姻。“只有非常少數(shù)的研究是被想了解單身群體的渴望所驅(qū)動。很有代表性的是，單身群體在闡釋婚姻相關事實的研究中是對比群體，”她說。Further research is needed to help cut thro

24、ugh the stereotypes, and theres no denying that DePaulo is biased when it comes to the advantages of single life “Always have been, always will be,” she told Ian Johnston atThe Independent. But the limited evidence so far shows that being single in no way means you cant lead a fulfilling life.要打破固有的

25、刻板印象需要進行進一步的研究，而且要承認迪波洛在談及單身生活的好處時是有傾向性的?！耙恢倍际?，永遠會是，”她告訴獨立報的伊恩約翰斯頓。但是目前有限的證據(jù)表示單身絕不意味著你無法有一個滿足的生活。Its 2016 do whatever makes you happy.現(xiàn)在是2016年做任何讓你快樂的事 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p809736/ 學霸的10條特征：看看你中了幾條？The perfect student.ASKS QUESTIONS.好學生會積極提問Most teachers want students to ask questions whe

26、n they do not understand a concept that is being taught. Good students arent afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do not get a particular concept, it could hurt them later. Asking questions is often beneficial to the class as a whole because chances are if you have that question, t

27、here are other students who have that same question.大多數(shù)老師都希望學生在不理解教授的概念時能夠提問。好學生敢于提問，因為他們知道，如果自己不理解某個概念會不利于今后的學習。提問有時對班級同學也有好處，很有可能你不理解的問題正好也是其他同學不明白的。The perfect student is a.HARD WORKER.好學生會努力學習The perfect student isnt necessarily the smartest student. There are plenty of students who are blessed

28、with natural intelligence, but lack the self discipline to hone that intelligence. Teachers love students who choose to work hard no matter what their level of intelligence is. Being a hard worker in school simply means completing assignments on time, putting your maximum effort into every assignmen

29、t, asking for extra help when you need it, putting in the time to study for tests and quizzes, as well as recognizing weaknesses and looking for ways to improve upon those weaknesses.好學生并非總是最聰明的學生。有很多學生生來智商高，但是缺乏訓練智商的自律精神。老師喜愛努力學習的學生，無論他們的智商水平處在什么等級。在學校里努力學習意味著按時完成作業(yè)、全力應對任務、尋求幫助、準備考試，同時還要認識自己的弱點，并試著

30、克服弱點。The perfect student is.INVOLVED.好學生會參與活動Being involved in extra-curricular activities can help a student gain confidence which can improve academic success. Most good students get involved in some activity whether it is athletics, Student Council, etc. These activities provide so many learning

31、opportunities that a traditional classroom simply cant. These activities also provide opportunities to take on leadership roles and they often teach people to work together as a team to accomplish a common goal.全情投入于各種課外活動有助于獲得自信，從而取得學業(yè)上的成功，大多數(shù)好學生會參加體育活動、學生會等等。這些活動提供了很多在傳統(tǒng)課堂上學習不到的知識。這些活動還提供了成為領導者的機會

32、，同時，教學生與他人合作達到共同的目標。The perfect student is a.LEADER.好學生是領導者Teachers love good students who are natural leaders within their classroom. Whole classes have their own unique personalities and often times those classes with good leaders are good classes. Leadership skills are often innate. It is also a

33、skill that develops over time amongst your peers. Being trustworthy is a key component of being a leader. If your classmates dont trust you, then you will never be leader. If you are a leader amongst your peers, you have the ultimate responsibility to lead by example and the ultimate power to motiva

34、te others to be successful.老師喜歡班級中天生的領導者。每個班級都有自己的特點，通常情況下，有優(yōu)秀領導者的班級表現(xiàn)得更好。領導才能通常是天生的，但也可以在同齡人中鍛煉發(fā)展出來。值得信任是成為領導者的關鍵因素。如果班上的同學不信任你，你永遠也不能領導他們。如果你是同齡人中的領導者，你有責任以身作則，也有權(quán)利激勵他人成功。The perfect student is.MOTIVATED.好學生會積極向上Motivation comes from many places. The best students are the ones that are motivated t

35、o be successful. Motivation means different things to different people. Good teachers will figure out how to motivate most students in someway, but those students who are self-motivated are far easier to teach than those who arent.動力來源于各處。好學生通常會受到激勵，變得成功。動力因人而異。好老師會想方法激勵學生，但是那些懂得自我激勵的學生比他人來說更易教。The

36、perfect student is a.PROBLEM SOLVER.好學生會解決問題No skill is lacking more in this generation of students than that of the ability to be a problem solver. At the simple click of a mouse, students today can access more information than ever before, thus rendering problem solving skills virtually obsolete.

37、Those students who do possess true problem solving abilities are rare gems that teachers love.這一代的學生最缺乏的技能就是解決問題的能力。現(xiàn)在的學生只要輕點鼠標，就可以獲得大量的信息。因此，他們自己解決問題的能力已經(jīng)大大下降。能夠真正自行解決問題的學生可謂鳳毛麟角，而這些學生則深得老師喜愛。The perfect student.SEIZES OPPORTUNITIES.好學生會抓住機遇It is true that every student must attend school for some

38、period of time, but that doesnt mean that every student seizes that opportunity and maximizes their learning potential. Many parents dont see value in education, thus their children dont see value in education. The best students take advantage of the opportunities their afforded and value the educat

39、ion that they have an opportunity to receive.確實，每個學生都必須接受義務教育，但是并不是每一個學生都可以抓住機會，把教育的潛能發(fā)揮到最大化。許多家長也重視教育，因此他們的兒女也如此。好學生會抓住他們得到的教育機會，并珍視這個機會。The perfect student is a.SOLID CITIZEN.好學生是一位好公民Teachers will tell you that classes full of students who follow the rules and procedures have a better chance at m

40、aximizing their learning potential. Students who are well behaved in class are easy for teachers to deal with even if they struggle academically. Nobody wants to work with a student who constantly causes problems, but teachers will try to move mountains for students who are polite, respectful, and f

41、ollow the rules.老師們說，如果一個班級的學生都遵守校規(guī)，這個班級最有可能最大化出教育潛力。在班級里表現(xiàn)良好的學生即使遇到了學業(yè)瓶頸，老師在解決他們的問題時也更輕松。沒有人想要同不斷制造麻煩的學生相處，老師們更愿意為懂禮貌、敬師長、遵校規(guī)的學生解決問題。The perfect student has a.SUPPORT SYSTEM.好學生受他人支持Unfortunately this quality is one that individual students often have very little control of. You cannot control who

42、your parents or guardians are. It is something that you can overcome, but it does make it a lot easier if you have a healthy support system in place. They push you to success, offer advice. They are there for you in times of adversity and they cheer for you in times that you are successful. Having a

43、 great support system doesnt make or break you as a student, but it definitely gives you an advantage.不幸的是，這一點是學生本人無法掌控的。你無法決定父母或者監(jiān)護人是誰。雖然你可以克服這一點，但是如果受到他人支持，學習的過程就更簡單一點了。他們會幫助你成功，給你提出建議。你難過的時候，他們會在你身邊；你成功的時候，他們會為你鼓掌。學習的成敗不是由有力的支持決定的，但有力的支持絕對會給你帶來優(yōu)勢。The perfect student is.TRUSTWORTHY.好學生受人信賴Being tr

44、ustworthy is a quality that will endear you not only to your teachers, but also to your classmates. No one wants to surround themselves with people that they ultimately cannot trust. Teachers love students and classes that they trust, because they can give them liberties that often provide learning

45、opportunities they would not be afforded otherwise. 受人信賴不僅僅讓老師喜愛你，也讓同學喜歡你，沒有人愿意處在自己不信任的人身邊。老師喜歡可以信任的學生和班級，因為這種情況下老師可以給學生們自由，而這樣的自由所提供的學習機會是不受信賴的學生所體驗不到的 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p804161/ Quora精選：一眼識人，如何看清人的本性What is the single most HYPERLINK http:/dict.hjengl/w/revealing revealingthing about a

It is easy to dance when you are in love with someone. You dont mind donating money or doing extra favors when you have

55、the time. Even arguing is ok when you are feeling fine otherwise.仔細想想吧，當你的生活中沒有壓力的時候，做一個好人是一件很容易的事；當你的錢包里有錢的時候，把錢給那些需要它的人是一件很容易的事；當你樂得可以笑出聲的時候，你很容易就能微笑待人；當你墜入愛河的時候，你會很容易為之起舞；當你有時間的時候，你并不介意捐些錢或多幫點忙；只要你感覺良好，你會覺得連吵架都是可以接受的。But, put some pressure on the same person and you may be face to face with a dem

56、on.但是，當你把同一個人置于壓力之下時，你面對的可能就是個魔鬼。It happens to all of us. And its humbling to see where we really are in relation to life.對我們所有人來說，都是如此，當你看清自己在生活中究竟是怎樣一個人的時候，你會覺得自己很渺小 HYPERLINK http:/www.hjengl/new/p808330/ 學起來：美國學生的寫作套路As youve probably noticed, essay writing assignments can pop up in any class.An

57、y time you have to write anessay, you should begin with a frame based on the parts below.可能你有注意過，任何一門課都可能出現(xiàn)寫作任務。每次寫作你都可以采用下面提供的框架。Introduction導言The introduction is the first paragraph in your essay, and it should accomplish a few specific goals.導言是文章的首段，應達到一下幾個目的。1. Capture the readers interest.吸引讀者

58、興趣Its a good idea to start your essay with a really interesting statement, in order to pique the readers interest.要吸引讀者的興趣，開頭采用一段有趣的陳述是個好方法。Avoid starting out with a boring line like this:但要避免無聊的行文，比如：In this essay I will explain why Rosa Parks was an important figure.“在這篇文章里，我要闡明為何羅莎帕克斯是個偉人。”Instea

59、d, try something with a bit of a surprise factor, like this statement:相反，可以試著引用讓人驚訝的事情，比如：A Michigan museum recently paid $492,000 for an old, dilapidated bus from Montgomery, Alabama.“最近，密歇根的一家博物館話費4.92萬美元從亞拉巴馬州蒙哥馬利市購進了一輛老舊的公交車?！盩he second sentence sounds much more interesting, doesnt it? It would

60、encourage most people to keep on reading.相比之下第二句話更吸引人，是吧？這會吸引大多數(shù)讀者往下讀。2. Introduce the topic.介紹話題The next few sentences should explain your first statement, and prepare the reader for your thesis statement.接下來的幾句話應該開始陳述，讓讀者接受你的論點。The old yellow bus was reported to be the very one that sparked the ci
