Do you find yourself constantly feeling busy？Or，maybe you feel like you have too much on your plate.Perhaps you have a to-do list with no end in sight.Or when you get home，you have household responsibilities to take care of，too，and it just seems like that you never have much time for a breath.
Being busy is better than not having anything to do.But what many people don’t realise is that the more time you take to complete something does not equal more success.Let’s say that your washing machine at home broke down.Instead of calling a skilled man，your husband decided to fix it.He ended up spending half a day figuring out the machine，and did eventually fix it.However，he had to make a trip to the tool shop to buy some extra tools and parts for the machine.And you now had to take over his duties of dropping the kids off at swim practice.I hope you would agree that it would have been ideal to delegate(委托) this task to the handyman.
Whatever big goals or ambitions you may have，it’s normal for them to involve a lot more of your time than you first expected.New challenges often involve things that are out of our experience and knowledge，so covering all the bases ourselves is sometimes impossible.You may hear this term a lot：it’s an effective way for managers to distribute (or sometimes avoid) work.But that’s not what I’m referring to.Instead，delegation means supplementing(补充) time from an outside source to give you opportunities to increase your quality time.
Let’s go back to the washing machine example.Your husband decides to fix it on his own.Why？Because it’s probably a challenge he enjoys.However，if the value of the task is too low，you really ought to delegate it to others.Sometimes，when you have a larger goal in mind，you might have to sacrifice something in return for making progress.

Healthy eating is not just what you eat, but how you eat. Here are some tips for you:
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has a lot of benefit particularly for children. 16 Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.Take time to chew (咀嚼) your food and enjoy meal times. 17 We tend to wolf down our meals, forgetting to enjoy the flavor and feel the taste of what is in our mouths.
18 Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. During the meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
19 A healthy breakfast can jump-start your metabolism(新陈代谢), and eating small,healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
Avoid eating at night. 20 And then don't eat for 12~ 14 hours until breakfast in the morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive(消化的) system a long break each day may help to keep fit.
A. Drink plenty of water.
B. T ry to have dinner earlier.
C. Be careful when eating out.
D. Eat your food slowly, tasting every bite.
E. Listen to your body.
F. It allows you to follow others' healthy eating habits.
G. Eat breakfast and eat smaller meals throughout the day.

The sound of glass breaking is instantly recognizable. I’d been telling my best friend Missi a silly story and had spun around in the living room when I heard that sound and froze.
When I looked down at the carpet, it was covered with pieces of sparkling red, pink and clear glass. Missi said. "Oh, no, not the vase.''
"Why What did I do " My face reddened.
"Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America, Missi replied nervously. "If you’d broken anything else in the apartment, I would've gladly said I did it. But you're going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she's going to be really mad. ”
I was terrified. I’d destroyed a priceless family heirloom （传家宝）.Why did I have to spin around like that
We gathered up the shattered pieces. I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed, but Missi said gently it didn't look possible. I insisted we keep the pieces. The glass was so fragile, like a colorful, swirly light bulb had exploded. Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully.
Missi said her mom would be home by six. My stomach was in knots. Would her mom yell at me or punish me Would she tell me I couldn't stay in their apartment for the weekend I couldn't stop playing the” fifteen seconds over in my mind, me spinning fast and the sound of glass crashing. The only thing I could think of to say was “I'm sorry. ”
A couple of minutes after six we heard a key turn in the door. Her mom was home. Right from the start, we could see she was in a good mood. Hello! It’s hot today. I want to treat you girls to that frozen yogurt I know you like, Let’s go! ” her mom said. She pointed at the open door.

Healthy eating is not just what you eat, but how you eat. Here are some tips for you:
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has a lot of benefit particularly for children. 16 Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.Take time to chew (咀嚼) your food and enjoy meal times. 17 We tend to wolf down our meals, forgetting to enjoy the flavor and feel the taste of what is in our mouths.
18 Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. During the meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
19 A healthy breakfast can jump-start your metabolism(新陈代谢), and eating small,healthy meals throughout the day (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
Avoid eating at night. 20 And then don't eat for 12~ 14 hours until breakfast in the morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you're most active and giving your digestive(消化的) system a long break each day may help to keep fit.
A. Drink plenty of water.
B. T ry to have dinner earlier.
C. Be careful when eating out.
D. Eat your food slowly, tasting every bite.
E. Listen to your body.

To begin with, we should develop a positive attitude to life. Life consists of not only happy moments but also hard times. We should be brave when facing difficulties. Besides, we must study hard because knowledge is power. If we have the power, we can help to build our country and enjoy life better.

When I looked down at the carpet, it was covered with pieces of sparkling red, pink and clear glass. Missi said. "Oh, no, not the vase.''
"Why What did I do " My face reddened.
"Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America, Missi replied nervously. "If you’d broken anything else in the apartment, I would've gladly said I did it. But you're going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she's going to be really mad. ”
I was terrified. I’d destroyed a priceless family heirloom （传家宝）.Why did I have to spin around like that
We gathered up the shattered pieces. I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed, but Missi said gently it didn't look possible. I insisted we keep the pieces. The glass was so fragile, like a colorful, swirly light bulb had exploded. Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully.
Missi said her mom would be home by six. My stomach was in knots. Would her mom yell at me or punish me Would she tell me I couldn't stay in their apartment for the weekend I couldn't stop playing the” fifteen seconds over in my mind, me spinning fast and the sound of glass crashing. The only thing I could think of to say was “I'm sorry. ”
A couple of minutes after six we heard a key turn in the door. Her mom was home. Right from the start, we could see she was in a good mood. Hello! It’s hot today. I want to treat you girls to that frozen yogurt I know you like, Let’s go! ” her mom said. She pointed at the open door.

“Before that, I need to tell you something,” I said. “We can talk at the yogurt place," her mom smiled. “No. I need to tell you now. It's important,” I insisted. I could feel my voice shaking and tried not to cry. “What is it, dear " she gently asked, closing the door and walking closer to me. Our hands almost touched. With her eyes studying me, my heart beat faster. “I'm sorry,” I blurted out.“I... I was talking and laughing with Missi when I spun around and accidentally broke the vase.” I further explained that we saved the pieces but tried in vain to fix it.

You've done me a huge favor!" her mom exclaimed with delight. Although relieved to have apologized, I was still in shock, for this was not at all the reaction I had expected. It wasn't until I reached my adult years that I recognized what a profound gift her mother's generosity in welcoming my apology was. Now, when I receive a genuine apology, I always consider the people's feelings and make sure my response shows them their apology was fully heard and truly appreciated.
