Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

Love

Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person figures out and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

Failure and Success

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to be grateful to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

When it comes to being socially successful, the quantity of your relationships is irrelevant. The important thing is the quality of them. I would rather have a small team that works in concert than a big team so scattered（分散的）that nothing ever gets done. It’s better to have a few close friends who love you for who you are than a lot of acquaintances who you’re not so comfortable with.Here are five ways you can make people enjoy being around you.
Be confident, but not cocky.There is a big difference between healthy confidence and arrogant（傲慢的）cockiness. A confident person, when complimented about a wonderful thing they did, would reply with a simple “thank you.” A cocky person would take the opportunity to perform an unscheduled Academy Award acceptance speech. A confident person would offer praise for everybody who contributed to their success. A cocky person would claim all the credit for themselves without a second thought. Cocky people might experience temporary perks, but long-lasting success is a prize reserved for the confident.


Be approachable, but not a pushover.
You should welcome your friends and coworkers with open arms. It’s hard to find a person who will offer a listening ear in time of need, so fulfilling that need will help you become a person people trust. But there can be too much of a good thing. If you find yourself with invitations you’re not that interested in, don’t be afraid to politely reject them. If your schedule becomes occupied by people desiring your attention, set some ground rules and prioritize（优先考虑）. To take care of others, you must first take care of yourself.

Be direct in expression, but not nasty in delivery.
Receiving honesty with no filter （过滤）is like finding a massive glass of ice water during a desert adventure. Speak words of truth, and people will be refreshed to hear them. Most people sugarcoat their opinions, so a willingness to tell it how you see it will win the appreciation of your friends and coworkers. But here’s the catch: delivery is everything. There is a big difference between “Your article sucks” and “I like the general concept, but I think it might play better if you try if from a different angle.” Truth is something you should aim for, but it isn’t a ticket to be nasty to people. To deliver honest and helpful feedback, use this sentence structure: “ I liked (insert positive quality), but I think it would be better if (constructive criticism/ suggestion for improvement).”

Be mindful of your actions, but not absorbed in yourself.
Have you ever found yourself nervous while fielding questions in a job interview or talking to a cute person you have a crush on? So eager to make a positive first impression that you can’t escape the constant stream of thoughts causing you to doubt if you’re saying and doing the right things? As a consequence, you might find yourself so self-absorbed that you can’t focus on what the other person is saying. The less time you spend questioning yourself and the more time you spend actively listening to the other person, the better off you will be.

Be assertive, but not overbearing.
There is a thin line between being assertive and overbearing, so let’s take a look at their definitions.
assertive (adjective): having or showing a confident and forceful personally
overbearing (adjective): unpleasantly or arrogantly domineering （专横的）
An assertive person would confidently (and politely) ask friends or networking contacts for help if they needed it (and hopefully offer to return the favor). An overbearing person would force people to get what they wanted without a second thought about how their actions affected others. Being overbearing will make people avoid you because no one wants to help a pushy person. 
Being assertive will attract people to you, if you can reflect confidence and enthusiasm.

4． Plans kick off soon
For years，Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team．However，hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited （点燃） recently，as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16．
By 2025，50000elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculum．According to the plan，students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics （战术）．They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly．The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps，helping to build up a large soccer talent pool．
Chinese soccer，with the national team currently ranked at No 83in the world，has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time．Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training system，which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture，according to the BBC．
Take Spain，a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time，as an example．It has the world's best soccer school，La Masia．This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents．Teams in the academy are divided into 12levels，from U8（for players under 8years old） to U19．Its talent scouts （星探） are stationed around the world，always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer．Studying there is free of charge．A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar．
The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training．Germany scored only one goal at the 2000European Championships，which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good，young players．So in 2001，the German Football League required that all Bundesliga （甲级联赛） clubs set up academies with youth teams from U12to U23．The clubs now spend over 100million on youth development each year．And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players．
In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller，25year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lahm，for instance，the world has witnessed Bayern's youth work paying off handsomely．
"Youth is the key to China's soccer，as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said"but it takes time to gain results，"said President Xi Jinping in 2014，"China's soccer dream looks far away，but we cannot stop．"

5． Driving in traffic can be extremely stressful．Pedestrians appear out of nowhere，cars suddenly pull out of parking spots，and roads become slippery due to rain or snow．Knowing when to brake and when to accelerate in such situations is hard enough for a human driver，let alone a robotic one．But several carmakers-and a few tech companies-are working to convince drivers to let driverless cars take the wheel．
       Without question，the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety．Driverless systems will feature sensors that detect safety threats that human drivers might miss．Many carmakers already offer systems that alert drivers whenever they get dangerously close to other cars．
Also，driverless systems have the benefit of increased efficiency．Driverless cars won't waste as much gas as human drivers do，and guided by advanced GPS，they'll always take the fastest route．Once driverless cars become widely available，common people can have their own driver，and they'll just sit back and relax while their car's computer takes the wheel!
Although completely driverless cars won't be on the market for several years，the technology behind them is already appearing in phases．Two examples are the Active Lane Keeping Assist option for Mercedes-Benz cars and Ford's Traffic Jam Assist．In the first option，the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate（振动）．In the second option，the system helps the car keep pace with other cars while remaining in its current lane．The system is being developed to help relieve blocking on busy roads．
       Several carmakers claim that they'll produce driverless cars within the next decade．But critics aren't so sure，warning that a completely driverless car must be able to make split-second decisions in even the most complex traffic situations．In addition，the car's computer must become smart enough to know when to ask the driver to intervene （介入，干涉） to prevent an accident．
       Full government approval won't happen until driverless cars are proven safe．In the meantime，expect to see carmakers offer ever-smarter features on their new models．

6． How Self-Acceptance Leads to Happiness Within
Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people．When we are young，it is important to us to be accepted by others．To do this，we will often adopt the views and interests of the others rather than develop our own．
Over time，however，we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves．People who have done this are confident in their true abilities； they do not feel the need to impress other people．They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others．
Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest，for fear of having their own ideas rejected．Defensive people are also usually unconfident； in an attempt to hide their unconfidence，they blame others．
Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation； they say"I can"rather than"I can't．"Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health，good friendships，and great happiness，they always put their best foot forward．Gradually they can  appreciate the differences between themselves and other people．
Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow personally，so why waste energy complaining about being short？Instead of focusing on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with，we ought to focus more on what we are good at．
Such expressions as"Love yourself"and"Be true to your own self"are about self-acceptance，as well as honesty and morality．We should consider them to be good advice，and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within．

Topic	We should learn to accept ourselves as well as find（76）     by others．
Benefits of accepting ourselves	▲We are （77）     in our true abilities and our lives． ▲We are less （78）    to give up when faced with difficult situations． ▲We are able to acquire good health，good friendships，and great happiness， ▲We are provided with （79）     for personal growth．
（80）     on accepting ourselves	▲We are concerned with （81）     results rather than others'views of ourselves． ▲We needn't fear that our own ideas are rejected，（82）    can we blame others． ▲We can have a gradual （83）      of the differences between ourselves and others． ▲We focus more on our （84）     rather than unchangeable personal characteristics we are not satisfied with．
Conclusion	We are to love ourselves and make our way to （85）     within．

7． Parents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends．Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy，such as pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager．
"I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great．How do you like it？'"says Ballmer．"There was just a complete gap in taste．"
Music was not the only gulf．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits．
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families．Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago．Now they are comfortable and common．And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，"To my mother，my best friend．"
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．"There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，"says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College．"In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents．"
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say．
"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change，but today's parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the‘after'side，"explains Mr．Ballmer．"It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now．"
