“The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be truer today. 【小题1】 Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life.

Why are we afraid of change? 【小题2】 After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. 【小题3】 To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with.

【小题4】 For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them.

People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. 【小题5】 If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful.

A neighborhood party is a great way to have fun and get to know the people in your neighborhood. And it’s also the best way to bring the community (社区) together.

Before you begin to do this, you first need to decide where to have the party. The community center is a good place for a neighborhood party. If the weather is nice, many people like to have the party outside. It could be at a park or on a street.

Next, ask your friends and neighbors to help. Get them to tell others about the party, set up (策划) the party and clean up after the party.

During the party, be sure to have lots of things to do. Many parties have activities for kids, such as face painting. Most parties have food and drinks. The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. That’s also the special part (部分) of a neighborhood party!

In schools across the world, you will find a kind of students who have ability to take part in classroom discussion. 【小题1】 They are simply talking with the same freeness and ease(自在)that most of us have when chatting with friends.

But for some other students, they're quite afraid of speaking in front of people. Why can't they do it? 【小题2】 But as soon as the teacher starts trying to have a discussion, and especially if she starts calling on student who aren't raising their hands, all their happiness about "loving school" will fly away.

What is the problem? Why are they so nervous? The simplest answer is that they are scared of speaking or being regarded as a stupid one. Or, actually not even stupid. 【小题3】 They want to not only give the correct answer, but also say something outstanding and create every time they speak. Usually this kind of students were told that they were smart kids by teachers and family at a very young age. Of course, they felt good, but then they started to be stressed out as they became older. 【小题4】 As time goes by, that thought kept them silent during class.

【小题5】   First, write down something about what they want to say before raising their hands. It will make them feel safe. Second, make little goals for themselves: Today, I'm going to say one thing in class, no matter what. Then the next week, make two more. At last, things will go well. Until they can go through all the nervousness and discomfort.
