Being a youth is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities(品德)：First of all, health. A good body is the best riches. Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. Even you can’t work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same,（1） what a wonderful world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication(合作和交流) are two important keys to better human relations. （2）Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life or do everything he wants to alone.
Besides the ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )amples above, patriotism is the one we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for one’s country. It’s one of the highest qualities of human’s. Everyone should love his own country. But people sometimes think patriots(爱国者)must be fighters or that they live in a time of fighting for their country. That is wrong. A good youth’s work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.
I think a good yout ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.

You know that eating ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. But do you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter Here are some steps toward a smarter brain.
Limit your TV viewing
(1) Never spend t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oo much time on TV viewing, for it needs very little brain activities. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do. If you do watch TV, choose something educational and meaningful.
Travel
Travelling to anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her country forces you to see and do things in a fresh way, bringing stimulation to the brain.
Learn a new language
Learning a new lang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uage involves different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps prevent memory problems that you may meet in later years.
Read often
As you read, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake the time to look up people or places that aren’t familiar. Reading makes your vocabulary much larger if you always search for words and definitions that you don’t know. Each week, choose an animal, a bird or fish, and read everything you can about it. Stretch your brain as you become an expert on the subject.
Calculate （计算）when you shop
As you put th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings in your grocery cart, total everything in your head. See how close you get to the actual total.
Use your non-dominant（不占优势的）hand
If you are right-hand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed, use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. Doing familiar things in a different way will make your brain create new neural （神经）networks.
Wechat（微信）
(2) Read messages from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) various people. They have different interests. And some say that learning to express yourself in just 100 words is a great brain challenge.
Have a try and do thes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e every day. Little by little you can get into the habit of challenging your brain, and make your brain smarter!

DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is
Yang Chen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )works for a computer business in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him for relax after work. "For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself," he said. One day when he saw many toys in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not make some kinds of things and relax myself " Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The thing he has made by himself doesn't look as professionally made as those in the shop, but he likes doing it. "It is not as much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops." he said. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful and friends like them very much.
More and more people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do it themselves. Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, known as DIYers, enjoy doing it very much. They can make all kinds of things they like.
（1）在中国DIY正变得越来越 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )流行. It may be to the young, yet many people remember when it was once a way of life.
During 1960s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. (B) Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was a part of life because there was no other choice. If you want something done, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something you made it yourself. But times have changed and DIY has different meanings.

Courage is the abil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ity to be brave in various situation in our life. Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well.

Know that giving up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is not a choice. It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong.
Fight to control your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid, but the differnce is that they can control their fear.
They don’t l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on.

Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins.
Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Swimming is fun in warm weather, but skating is good in winter.
Some sports a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re so interesting that people everywhere go in for（从事）them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. 3 What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China or Australia! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many people love to skate in Japan or Canada.
4 Some sports ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is 120 years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
People from different ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面)

We all dream ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.
What are the hopes of teenagers
We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers
Teenagers ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.
According to the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urvey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!
Conclusion: It was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.
What is the most popular choice of job.
