Bike Helmet(头盔) Safety
Bicycle riding is about as safe as walking. But when you’re riding in traffic or down a mountain trail, it can be dangerous. Wearing a safe bicycle helmet correctly is the best way to protect your head in a crash.
Helmets have changed over the years and there are helmets made for lots of different activities.
To choose a helmet, first find the size of your head where a hatband or sweatband might sit. Use a fabric tape measure or a piece of string and measure it with a ruler.
Adjust the helmet so that the front edge is level across your forehead, and 1 or 2 fingerbreadths above your eyebrows.
Finally, look in a mirror to check your work—and make sure you look great! Things can shake a bit as you ride, so you may need to adjust a bit along the way. And remember that for most helmets, once you’ve crashed, the helmet is trash, and it’s time to get a new one.

A.Straps often loosen. |
B.So it protects your head and face. |
C.Then check if the helmet suits you. |

Many students have trouble staying focused in class. Some of them easily become absent-minded or fall asleep. As a result, they turn to study drugs in order to stay focused in school.
Get some sleep.
Eating first thing in the morning provides fresh energy throughout the day, and it doesn’t even have to be a big meal. Something as small as a bowl of oatmeal can make students more energetic and efficient for the rest of the day. And foods like peanut butter, berries, and whole grains have even shown to improve memory.
Turn off your phone.
An obvious way to maintain concentration is to avoid distractions that take your attention away.
Break a sweat.
Trying to concentrate in class will feel as challenging as a marathon if you’re not in good physical health. On the other hand, actually running a marathon may help boost your ability to concentrate, as exercise is shown to have many benefits for the brain. While you don’t necessarily have to run 26 miles before class or work, doing exercise in the morning can get your blood flowing towards your brain.
A.Do not skip breakfast. |
B.Sit in the front if you sleep in class. |
C.That helps in strengthening the mind. |
D.Probably the biggest one is the smart phone. |
E.Students should have a regular bedtime routine. |
F.But many study drugs have proven harmful to human health. |
G.However, there are other all-natural ways to help with concentration in class. |
An attitude is a habitual way of thinking,feeling and/or behaving towards particular objects, people, events or ideologies (意识). Our attitudes allow us to turn mistakes into opportunities, and loss into the chance for new beginnings. We use our attitudes to explain and respond to the world around us. You weren't born with attitudes, rather they are all learned, and this happens in a number of ways.
The most powerful influences occur during early childhood and include both what happened to you directly, and what those around you did and said in your presence. As you acquire a distinctive identity, your attitudes are further improved by the behavior of those with whom you identify — your family, those of your gender and culture, and the people you admire, even though you may not know them personally. Friendships and other important relationships become increasingly important, particularly during teenagerhood.
Many people believe that our attitudes are internally consistent (一致的), that is, the way you think and feel about someone or something predicts your behavior towards them. However, many studies have found that feelings and thoughts don't necessarily predict behavior. For example, many say they believe in the benefits of recycling or exercise,but don't behave in line with their views, because it takes awareness, effort and courage to go beyond merely stating that you believe something is a good idea.
One of the most effective ways to change an attitude is to start behaving as if you already feel and think the way you'd prefer to… Take some time to reflect 'on your attitudes, to think about what you believe and why. Is there anything you consider a burden rather than a privilege? If so, start behaving — right now — as if the latter is the case.
