We were considering making an English magazine, and without hands-on experience we didn’t know how to start it. To get profession instructions, we left for Beijing to visit a chief editor of Beijing Review, the famous English journal. Busy as he was, he showed me around, explaining us the amazing history of the journal and its production process. Beside, he offered us lots of tip, which were practical and valuable. What make us especially happy was that when he promised to give us continuous guidance. Filling with confidence, we are now beginning to handle our magazine.

You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. 【2】

Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” 【3】 Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.

【4】 Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way — to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.

Focus on starting, rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 【5】 We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.

Researchers show that the early social behavior called look changing is linked to babies’ ability to learn new language sounds. 【1】. It is when a baby makes eye contact and then looks at the same object that the other person is looking at.

Rechel Brooks, one of the researchers, made a report, showing that babies’ look changing serves as a building block（基礎(chǔ)）for more complicated language and social skills. 【2】.

In this experiment, nine 5-month-old babies from English-speaking families attended foreign language tutoring sessions. Over four weeks, the tutors talked and played with toys while speaking Spanish.

At the beginning and end of the four-week period, researchers counted how often the babies changed their look. 【3】. There they tested how much Spanish language sounds.

【4】. The more look changing the babies participate in during their tutoring sessions, the greater their brain response were to the Spanish language sounds.

“Our findings show young babies’ social engagement contributes to their own language learning – they’re not just passive listeners of language,” Brooks said. “They’re paying attention and showing parents they’re ready to learn when they’re looking back and forth.” 【5】.

The researchers hope their findings help people develop strategies for teaching young children.

A.That’s when the most learning happens

B.These skills are what preschool children can gain

C.The results were really amazing

D.We can’t imagine how look changing helps them learn so much

E.However, others may regard look changing as something useless

F.Look changing is one of the earliest social skills that babies show

G.After the experiment ended, the researchers brought the babies back to the lab

We spotted her，almost immediately，three or four hundred feet away across the lake. Spring had come but there was still snow on the ground，the water covered by a layer of ice that had just started to thaw. Two big dogs were walking across it. They appeared to be quite old and were moving slowly. As we watched，the ice gave way beneath one dog and then the other，plunging them into the water.

We arrived at the scene a few minutes later，but the dogs already seemed to be showing the effects of the cold as they struggled weakly to escape. We realized that calling 911 would be useless—the dog farther out was in water about 20 feet deep and I feared neither of them would stay afloat long enough for the emergency services to arrive. Besides，I was probably qualified to carry out the rescue myself. I was practicing the kind of deep breathing my grandfather had taught me as I walked in. I wasn’t alone—Kira swam alongside me. Having Kira there was a huge support. We were able to go back to shore quickly.

The second dog was further out and I had to pause before I went back in. That’s when another technique I’d learned from my grandfather came into play. He’d taught me about a pressure point on the wrist that when pressed in the right way sends out an electrical signal，like a jolt of energy. That kept me warm as I set out again with，Kira. I maintained eye contact with the dog as we approached. With Kira’s encouragement，it followed us back. The owner was emotional—“I’m the luckiest woman alive!”she said.
