Girls who lack confidence in school have a new champion. She is only 10 years old. Alice Tapper, a fifth - grader says, that her goal is to encourage girls of all ages to “be more confident in raising their hands”. Alice cared so much about the issue (问题) that she helped create a Girl Scout badge (徽章).
The pink badge—Alice chose her favorite color—shows three hands reaching for the sky. It says, “Be brave. Raise your hand.”
Alice's idea came during a fourth - grade field trip to Jamestown, Virginia. She found that boys raised their hands to answer questions even though they weren't sure of the answers. The girls just listened quietly.
“Girls are afraid to raise their hands because they get shy. They have to be 90 percent sure, while boys just raise their hands and say, 'I know it,'” Alice said during a recent interview. She added that girls should have confidence, step up, and become leaders by raising their hands for women are equal to men.
Alice's “Raise Your Hand” badge has become wildly popular, and not just in the United States. “People in Japan and China want to use the badge,” she said. “We sold out the badge quickly, but we're making more.”
Alice wants to be a teacher when she grows up. But first, she wants to see a revolution in confidence for girls of all ages. She knows that won't happen overnight. “ It takes time,” Alice said, “but I can speed up the process.”
Some people shy away from traveling alone while a few welcome it. So, what is it that makes traveling alone an attractive choice?
First of all, the travel plan and all the decisions you make are yours alone. You don't need to worry about any other person or group. In other words, there are no arguments. Actually, you can be completely selfish.
Traveling alone is also a great confidence builder. Yes, at times it can feel a bit lonely, but that is just one of many problems you will have to solve yourself, along with making your own preparations and setting your own goals.
Besides, have you noticed that when you're on your own, people are more willing to start a conversation with you? Interestingly, people tend to keep a distance from couples and groups. However, the lone (独自的) traveler looks ready to connect with their fellow human beings and more likely to get into pleasant conversation about their trips.
Here are two more exciting reasons why you should consider traveling alone. You will find you learn the language faster when you don't have someone else talking to you in your own language all the time. You are forced to communicate in the foreign language when you travel alone in a country that doesn't speak your native language. In addition, when you're on your own, you're free to meet someone who might turn out to be very important in your life.
Of course, there may be things stopping you: You fear the unknown, or you have friends who may be upset by your decision to take off by yourself. You will have to make them believe the value of traveling done and allay any fears they might have, but with the technology at our fingertips, you can include them in the adventure.

Get up an hour early.
People who get up early in the morning get a jump on the day. In American English, we like to say, “The early bird gets the worm.” Here, if you were a bird, the worm would be the reward. Therefore, they are more likely to succeed.
Exercise!
Some people may disagree with this one. Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone. Some people like to exercise after work or at night. However, at the end of the day, you may not have the tune or energy to exercise. .
Think about your day at night.
Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that have happened. And spend a little time thinking about tomorrow. But it may help you to prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do next day. You probably won't have time to do everything you've planned. But that's fine. If you have done one thing, that means you are one step closer to your goal.
A. This is not the best way to start your day.
B. Starting your day in a right way is most important.
C. Also, know that your day will probably change.
D. You've already gotten your exercise!
E. Exercising in the morning prevents that from happening.
F. So this expression means that people who rise early have an advantage.
G. Some people who talk about “living in the present” may disagree with this.

I knew I could eat one 6 meal daily at the doughnut shop where I worked, 7 I had no idea what I was going to eat for my other meals. Then I realized maybe we 8 to go to the food bank.
I believed that food banks were for 9 people and that I would take food from someone who was less 10 than I. However, I soon realized that if I didn't go, I'd have to 11. I needed food to keep my mind and 12 healthy. So I swallowed my pride and 13.
The wokers at the food bank were kind and considerate. They gave us more than enough food to help us 14 two weeks.
We all have 15 of need. We all have mounts when we have to 16 help. At that time in my life I was thankful for the food bank. Their services helped feed my mind and body so that I could 17 my education.
A couple of decades later, I find myself 18 donating food and volunteering at the food bank. The help that the food bank extended to me in my time of need will 19 be forgotten. I hope that by sharing my story, you will be encouraged to 20 your community food bank, too.
In 1955, I got a train ticket to visit my relatives in Cleveland. On my return trip, I met handsome soldier. He asked if he could look at the train timetable was held in my hand and then if he could sit next to me so that we could chat. I agreed and invited him to share the lunch my aunt (pack) for me before leaving. We talked all the way. Finally, we exchanged (address) and he said he would contact me.
After a week, I still didn't receive a letter him and began to think he'd forgotten about me. On Saturday, the phone rang and a familiar voice asked if I would like to go out together. We ended up in (see) On the Waterfront at the Kallet Theatre. We had a more dates during his Army leave, and then he (send) to go overseas. For the next two years, we kept in touch with each other by letter.
In 1957, we got married. We've been together for more than 60 years, raising three daughters who now have daughters of (they) own. Before taking my trip to Cleveland years ago, I was warned never (speak) to strangers on a train. I'm (certain) glad I didn't listen.

I took a trip to China a few months before. It was a wonderful experience which I couldn't really describe it. We spent three weeks visit Beijing, Shanghai and several other tourist attraction. The close we approached the centre of China, the more I liked it. Then we went to Hong Kong last week, where I think is different from Beijing. It is noisiest and busiest place I have ever seen. And another thing that give me a deep impression was the people—they were so friendly. Anyway, the trip itself was interested. I can't wait to leave to China again.
