Do you ever find that we are just running from one activity to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning. So it is important to stop yourself to think about what you’ve been doing or learning.
Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By calming down and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self-reflections only in their mind. Others keep a diary or written notes. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning.
First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier for someone to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you complete a unit of study. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.
Finally, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

Life is like a journey. On the way, we all have a lot of happiness and sadness. Sometimes it is also full of regrets (遗憾). Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets?
Make better plans
If you start to do something, you’d better make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life
You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be “Yes”. Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can’t live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing (连接) the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit (轨道) in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure (基础设施) to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
Present situation
●Many of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it.
●Accessing the Internet 1 us some money.
What the organization will do
●MDIF has made a ___2____ to send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit in 2015 so that for every person on Earth, there will be free Wi-Fi available.

Who doesn’t like nature? It is the dream of every nature lover. However, this very dream can turn into a nightmare (恶梦) if you get lost in the wild. Scary? What will you do?
Plan Ahead
Every now and then, you hear stories of people fighting to stay alive in the wild. Most of these cases are the direct result of unpreparedness. Do some research before traveling to the far reaches of the earth. Always prepare a second plan just in case you lose the way. Print out the map of the place or draw all the possible routes on a piece of paper.
Carry Basic Survival Equipment
For hard times, it is wise to carry a survival kit (成套工具) that includes a GPS, waterproof map, compass, cell phone, lighter, Swiss knife, bandages (绷带), medicine, and some food and water.
Find Water Source
People can survive for three days without water. Look for surface water like rivers, streams, or lakes. When lost in the wild, try to move to low-lying areas. If there is water in the area, you are sure to find it in low-lying lands. We all know that water always flows from higher levels to lower levels. If you are in a forest, the insects can indicate (表明，暗示) presence of water close by.
If you cannot find surface water, look into rock crevices (裂缝). Rainwater often collects in the rock crevices. Muddy areas may have groundwater below the surface. Dig a pit (坑) and wait. Water will collect in the pit.
