Your teen years are a time to learn about yourself and start thinking about your future. Doing well in school and leading a healthy social and personal life will make you happier and more likely to succeed.. Instead, remember to have fun and live a life you love!

Become a curious reader. Go to your school library and check out books that interest you. It can be anything from poetry to storybooks—just get reading！, ask the librarian for suggestions.

Look ahead to life after you graduate from high school. Think ahead about what you will do in the future, whether that's getting a degree, volunteering, or jumping right into the career of your choice.. Just start to think about what you might want to do in the future according to your interests, passions and skills.

Take after-class activities you enjoy..Whether you're into the film, theatre, pottery, painting， or playing music， you can find classes at your school or courses at local recreation centers.

. To feel a sense of achievement about your school and personal life, set realistic goals for yourself. For example, you might set a goal to achieve all A's and B's this term. As for personal goals, you might plan to get really good at shooting 3-point shots in basketball or learn how to bake bread.

The question of whether it is possible to separate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist's behavior can improve their artistic achievements, people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.

One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can make mistakes, and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error. Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weakness can be used by the artists to create art that is unique. 

Perhaps Kevin Hart's words support this thought. He asks "When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time?" When people start seeing artists as human beings, they'll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.

It should be also noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist's experience. For example, the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J. K. Rowling's wicked worldview that it is actually impossible to separate the two from each other. Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of art. Comedians, singers or painters who should be mixing contemporary（当代的） issues with their works become boring, and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be.

An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic (内在的) value, benefiting entire communities or cultures, For instance, one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he influenced pop music and the inclusion of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses, opinions, worldviews and associations.

While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future. Some would refer to this process as a cycle. Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.

Even small amounts of physical activity, like quick walking, may greatly lower the risk of depression(抑郁), according to a new data analysis (分析).

Recommended levels of exercise in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include aerobic (有氧的) activity at proper levels for 2.5 hours a week, along with a workout of all major muscle groups twice a week. Or, a person can choose a high-level aerobic exercise, such as running, for 1.25 hours each week, along with the same amount of strength training. 

Middle-to-high-level exercise is good for us, according to the CDC. It improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, protects against heart disease and diabetes, reduces stress, improves mood, and fights anxiety and depression. But in today's busy world, many people find it difficult to fit in a jog or a visit to the gym. Add depression to the mix, and the motivation for exercise drops even further, experts say.

The analysis, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, looked at 15 studies involving over 190,000 people to determine how much exercise was needed to reduce depression. 

Adults who did activities equal to 1.25 hours of quick walking per week had an 18% lower risk of depression compared with those who did not exercise, the study said. Moving up to an "activity amount equal to 2.5 hours of quick walking per week was associated with 25% lower risk of depression," the study authors said.

The benefits were strongest when a person changed from being a couch potato to adding movement to the day, the study said. However, exercising over the recommended levels did not provide any additional benefits. 

"Our findings therefore have an important new influence on health doctors making lifestyle recommendations, especially to inactive individuals who may regard the current recommended target of exercise as unrealistic," the authors wrote.

A study in 2018 found similar results: People who exercised had about 43% fewer days of poor mental health. "Even just walking three times a week seems to give people better mental health than not exercising at all," said study author Adam Chekroud, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale University.

Dear Cutie-Pie,

Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was "How to keep him interested."

It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be attractive, when to bring him a beer and a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.

And I got angry.

Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to "keep him interested."

Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss—that you are worthy of interest.

If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.

Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.

I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don't care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I don't care how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart.

Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.

Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to "keep him interested" is to be you.

Your eternally interested guy,

Daddy

The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places. That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe. 

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

Amsterdam is the kind of city that you can't help but fall in love with. It's the kind of place where you dream about moving and buying an apartment that overlooks a peaceful river. It's relaxing and you get a sense that the locals have an amazing quality of free life. We love simply walking around the canals and exploring the city's neighborhoods. 

BERLIN, GERMANY

Berlin is said to be "poor but charming" and we think that's a pretty good description. Actually, Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows, but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene. Berlin isn't particularly pretty but it's an energetic city with cool people and cooler graffiti-covered (涂鸦) neighborhoods.

LISBON, PORTUGAL       

Lisbon is a hot destination and I doubt it will be quickly moving up in the ranks of Europe's most visited cities. Lisbon is a popular coastal city that's famous for its unique buildings and charming café culture. It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average. 

FLORENCE, ITALY

Florence may be touristy but that's no reason to ignore this birthplace of the Renaissance (文艺复兴). If you do your research, you can find plenty of excellent Italian restaurants and world-class ice cream. And, of course, the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.

About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner. 

It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie. 

I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn't have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly. 

I quietly asked the cashier to add the man's whole order to ours. I paid the $87. 73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened. 

Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debitcard (借记卡) and knew that we only had $90. 16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days. 

What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $44.58. There was $ 47 in our account. 

But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn't afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

Hello, everyone! 

……

That's all. Thank you! 

It is a special cross-country race. The competitors' vehicles are made  fruits and vegetables like carrots, eggplants, grapefruits, pumpkins and oranges. They are the creations of pupils from the Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School. 

According to Chen You, the science class teacher,  (base) knowledge had been taught within 6 classes to students before they drew sketches and  (choose) vegetables to make a food car. 

Although students were encouraged  (design) their cars together with parents, all the cars should be made in the class. After  (bring) piles of ingredients as well as tools, the children began their innovation. 

Some cut the carrot into slices to make them round, and some others assembled (组装) their car components together. 

In addition to the  (compete), students are required to reflect on the  (difficulty) they encountered making their vehicles,  things they have learned from the activity and the improvements they think the course can make. 

  touched the teachers most was the unity and friendship among the children. For example, although the contest was fierce (激烈的) , students felt  (excite) for the champion car as if they themselves had stood out, and when a girl's car fell apart, their friends comforted her and helped reassemble the car. 

Drew Bason thought he would be a medical technician. His mom was in medicine, and he always thought he would 1  in her footsteps. But life had a 2  plan for him. 

"I always wanted to cook," he admitted. "I had eleven uncles and they were always 3 with my father. I was around it a lot." So, he decided not to pursue healthcare. 4 , Drew signed in a community college culinary (烹饪的) program and got a 5 as a chef.

But not long after, the pandemic (疫情) began, and Drew 6 his job. Without a steady income, taking care of his 10-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son was a (n) 7 . But one day, walking through the Brightmoor neighborhood in Detroit, he 8 the City Covenant Church, and soon found out about their meal program. "I knew I could come here to get a (n) 9 ," he said. "It took some of the 10 off."

But Drew did not want to just 11 food home. He knew he could use his skills to help out. So, he started 12 at the church to cook meals. "It takes a lot of 13 to eat the food of someone that you don't know,"

he said. "So it's an honor to give some of it back and help our community. I really 14 the opportunity."

Now, Drew is working at a nearby restaurant, but he still volunteers at the church. "Food is 15 and I love cooking," he said.

How to Learn Several Languages at a Time

Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience. At some point, you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time.  However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you're learning. 

  If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar. 

Make one language your priority (优先) .  This way, at the end of your hard work, you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages, rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them. 

Translate between the languages you're learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language.  

Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once.  This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn. 

A. This process can be very difficult. 

B. Choose languages that vary in difficulty. 

C. Study the same topic in all of the languages. 

D. You can use a website to find a group like this. 

E. This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level. 

F. It is helpful to give one of the languages the most time and attention. 

G. Download an app, and then add all of your languages, if they are available on it.
