              One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now is no doubt tuhao, a sarcastic(讽刺的), light-hearted term referring to rich people of little education, bad taste or lacking self-awareness.

                This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning. The term, which literally means "country bully", has been around since ancient times, when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural landlords.

                  However, the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was used a few years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game "World of Warcraft" to refer to rich players who spend big money buying powerful virtual weapons. Because they don't improve their skills by playing, these players are considered silly, uncultured, and unprofessional.

                  But that is not the end of tuhao's new life story. The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with(同时发生)the emergence(出现)of the Chinese "nouveaux riches"一a generation of businessmen and women, property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly accumulated large amounts of wealth in recent years.

                  Similar to the many rags-to-riches stories in human history, many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from well-educated or prestigious(声望很高的)backgrounds. Rather, they achieved financial success through powerful connections, smart investments, and by benefiting from China's economic boom. Many of them don't shy away from throwing their money around, yet we are often reminded of their lack of manners, taste and cultural sensitivity.

                  As a result, a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation.

                  Trendy, young Internet users, who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao一not wealthy, but well-educated and cultured一have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations. For example, the phrase "let's be friends, tuhao," became hot after it appeared in an online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk.

                 When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September, Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the great popularity of the new golden-colored models among the Chinese consumers , and named it “ tuhao gold” , to make fun of the taste of rich Chinese people.

              Bike share programs range from small, community-based programs that offer bikes for free use to larger, technology-based services that involve public and private partnerships. Whichever form, they share common goals: fewer traffic jams in large cities, more lasting means of transportation, improved safety of communities and better health for riders.

              While many Europeans have relied on biking as a form of transportation for many years, bikes share programs were introduced in large cities of the U.S. to encourage non-bike riders to join along and make it convenient for people to get around town without having to worry about locking up their bike or maintaining it.

              This original programs that offered free bikes were ruined by theft and vandalism(故意破坏), but newer technology has helped decrease crime. Most large programs have electronic cards, computer or telecommunication tracking, and a system that stores credit card information. Bikes are usually clearly designed or colored so they are immediately recognized and some have parts that won’t work on other bikes. With membership fees at usually around forty dollars every year, they are significantly cheaper than driving and public transportation.

              In the United States, community bike programs have been around for years. Portland’s Yellow Bike Project started in 1994. SmartBike DC, which started in 2008, and over one hundred bikes spread around Washington, D.C. New York City has an experimental bike share program in the summer; Portland, Minneapolis, Arlington, San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago are all intending to start small bike share programs.

              Colleges have also been interested in community bikes. At the University of New England, for instance, students are given a $260 bicycle, for free, in exchange for leaving their car at home with their parents. However, many have had to stop programs due to unreturned bikes and vandalism

              Starting bike share programs isn’t easy. Even the large programs in Europe still face theft and vandalism, and ridership drops during the winter and maintenance fees can add up. One disadvantage in the U.S. is that many communities aren’t set up for biking; they’re set up for driving. Long travels and a lack of bike lanes can’t necessarily be solved with easy-to-access bikes. Yet for those cities that are relatively flat and crowded, bike share programs —and increased bike ridership in general — offer so many benefits you have to wonder if two wheels might be the ride of the future.

              This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn about the rest of the world.

              Here is a 2-way student exchange program in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

              Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that usually taken in the US.

              Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.

              “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it.”

              At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. Besides, each school holds certain activities for the entire school body, such as homecoming, prom night, holiday celebrations, etc. so in my opinion, there ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

              There’s a science to setting goals.Below,we share some research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals.   

              Choose a goal that matters,not just easy win.

              A meaningful goal—61 that truly inspires you to change—requires going deeper.Think about what you want in the coming year, then ask yourself  62 you want that.For example,if you walk to quit 63 (smoke), ask why do you want to quit? Then, if you want to quit for your health ask why do you want good health? Then,if your answer is to be alive long enough 64 (meet)your grandchildren,ask why do you want to meet your grandchildren?

              Set up your goals positively.

                  How you describe your goal makes 65 big difference.Focusing on 66 you want to“bring into your life —not what you want to avoid—wi11 make you more likely to 67 (actual)pursue it. Prepare for failure(in a good way).

                  Moments of failure 68 (be)unavoidable,but most of us abandon the goal entirely when slight failures and setbacks start piling up.At the moment when you fail,often the first instinct(本能)is to push the goal away. Itˈs so 69(comfort)to be in that condition of self-doubt or self-criticism and guilt.   

                  Your task is not to avoid failures,70to plan for them.Ask yourself, how am I likely to  fail? For example,if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack with you.
