    Breaking bad eating habits and starting good ones is one of the healthiest steps you can take.

    But making healthy choices natural can take time. In fact, it can take a certain time for a new habit to feel natural. So how do you stay on track until your new healthy-eating plan takes hold?

    Setting too many goals or too many unrealistic ones can disturb you right from the start.

    Think about why you're snacking.Or are you just bored or maybe a little stressed out? Skip the extra calories and take a five-minute walk instead.  The buddy(好友)system will keep you both on track. If you fail, don't give up. According to the European Journal of Psychology study, little bumps(凸块)in the road aren't likely to disturb the process of creating new habits. So, be patient and get back to your healthy ways as soon as you can.

A. Start small.

B. Are you really hungry?

C. Try to do something big

D. With a little patience, those bad habits will soon be gone

E. After all, it's hard to change a lifetime of bad habits overnight.

F. What kind of food do you want to eat when you are hungry?

G. And find a friend or co-worker who wants to make healthy changes, too.

    People say that one man can't make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw(人力车)driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.

    Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree everyday. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.

    Abdul, this wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner's office. They have no land of their own.

    Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn't listen. Abdul's 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.

     Abdul's neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.

    For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1, 253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star hoped everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.

“I can't do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.

    As the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.

    Peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens' experience. Even the best father can't completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.

    Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesn't, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.

    Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers don't get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents' concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A father's guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.

    Since his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words. Quizlet is a learning App, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.

    Thorne teachers at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also notice improvement in his students' ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.

    Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.

    Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.

    The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it's a game, quiz or practice activity.” he says.

    Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.

    In the business world, communication is necessary for the(success)daily operations.

    In some countries, like the United States and Germany,is common for people to speak loudly when sharing ideas or giving directions. However, in some countries like Japan, people speak softly when sharing idea or making (suggest). So when communicating with people from different cultures, speaking in a proper tone(So when communicating with people from different cultures, speaking in a proper tone(语气)can help develop smooth business communication.

    With the development of science and technology, people (easy)connect with others around the world in a moment's notice, but there arefew rules to remember before (do) so. If making an international phone, people should say attention to the time zone differences and make sure to set a reasonable time for all parties to communicate. For example, many Spanish cultures have (long) lunch breaks than Americans. It (mean)that Spanish may spend a tie period eating, inthe person you would like to meet with is unavailable. Asking for availability before making the call is the best way to avoid any confusion(困惑). Once you are able(connect), speak clearly and slowly.
