Children learn rather early that they must ask for the things they want, but as they grow up, it’s important that they begin to consider the needs of others. Raising a generous (慷慨的) child takes intentional practices like encouraging giving, teaching important habits, and modeling how best to care for others.
Help Your Neighbors
One of the simplest ways to show giving is to lend a hand to your neighbors.
Donate (捐) Clothes and Toys
Donating is one of those age-old habits that will always be the mark of a generous person. When you practice this with your children, it’s important that you allow them to choose which toys to giveaway.
By encouraging them when they choose to give and praising others who are generous, you are setting a standard for “praiseworthy” behavior. Another practice that parents have found helpful is to focus on how the things their child did has helped another.
Foster (培养) a Global Mindset
Someone with a global mindset cares for the world and is curious about how to solve global problems. Although it may seem like an abstract concept (抽象概念), there are a few ways to foster a global mindset. First, develop problem-solving and critical thinking.

4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight
As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running.
1. Healthy Eating is the First Step
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories.
2. Follow a training schedule
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run.
3. Run regularly
If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day.
4.
Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.
| A．Keep it challenging |
| B．Eat for Performance |
| C．You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next. |
| D．So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet. |
| E．If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful. |
| F．Here are ways to improve your running motivation. |
| G．But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week. |
Most students seem to have considerable “test anxiety”.
Waiting until the night before a test to start studying is likely to increase your anxiety. Instead of waiting until the last minute, start studying as soon as a test is scheduled. With several days or even a week to prepare, you’ll feel more relaxed because you have plenty of time to learn the materials.
Organize your materials
It’s important to gather all of your materials，including your books, notes, and other studying tools before a big exam. Keeping them all in order and handy is a great way to make sure that you can reference and cross reference them.
Review your notes each night.
Reviewing your notes daily will help you to organize the materials for yourself. Don’t expect that your understanding will come during the class.
Get a good night’s sleep before the exam.
Staying up too late the night before an exam is a bad idea, in general. If you do just one thing, this is it: get enough sleep the night before your exam. Sleep, particularly deep sleep, is critical to memory formation. Make it a practice to get a good night’s rest after any intense day of learning and studying.
| A．Draw up a schedule. |
| B．Learning simply doesn’t work that way. |
| C．Leave yourself plenty of time for studying. |
| D．Most students suffer mental illness when preparing for a test |
| E．It will help your brain to keep as much information as possible after a good night’s sleep. |
| F．Many talk themselves out of doing well before they even have the exam. |
| G．This will also make your life a lot easier when you are buried in your studying. |
Guide to Hiking on the Appalachian Trail
How do I “Leave No Trace on the Appalachian Trail?”
At about 2,189 miles, the Appalachian Trail is the longest single unit of the National Park System. With the number of people visiting this place increasing each year, the chances are great that any of us may damage the natural environment along the Trail and affect the experience for others. So please do your part by following these hiking and camping practices, and encourage others to learn about and adopt these techniques.
1. Plan ahead and prepare.
Evaluate the risks associated with your outing, identify campsites and destinations in advance, and use maps and guides. Prepare for extreme weather, dangers, and emergencies — especially the cold — to avoid impacts from searches, rescues, and campfires. Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.
2. Dispose of waste properly.
Pack out all trash and food waste, including that left behind by others. Don’t bury trash or food, and don’t try to burn packaging materials in campfires. Use the privy (茅房) for human waste only. Do not add trash. If there is no privy, dispose of human waste by burying it in a hole, a hole at least 200 feet (80 steps) from campsites, water sources and shelters, and well away from trails.
3. Leave what you find.
Leave plants, cultural artifacts (器物) and other natural objects where you found them for others to enjoy. Do not damage live trees or plants; green wood burns poorly. Collect only firewood that is dead, down, and no larger than your wrist. Leave dead standing trees and dead limbs on standing trees for the wildlife.
4. Minimize campfire impacts.
Use stoves for cooking — if you need a fire, build one only where it’s legal and in an existing fire ring. Keep fires small. Never leave your campfire unattended, and drown it when you leave. Do not try to burn trash, including plastic, glass, cans, tea bags, food, or anything with food on it. These items do not burn thoroughly. They create harmful fumes (烟雾), and attract wildlife like skunks and bears.
5. Respect wildlife.
Don’t feed or disturb wildlife. Store food properly to avoid attracting bears, varmints, and rodents. If you bring a pet, keep it leashed (用皮带系住).
