Having good manners is an important part of life. You know that you should never shout in public. 16 When you use social media apps(社交媒体应用),like WeChat and Sina Weibo, you must also remember to mind your manners. For example, sometimes I need to add a new friend on WeChat. But I haven't met him or her yet in real life. So when I send them a friend request, I explain who I am and how I got their contact info(联系方式). Just like in real life, the key to keeping good manners online is to be thoughtful. 17 One of my friends likes to send really long voice messages on WeChat. It is difficult to keep up with all his messages and remember everything. I think this is a bit bad! 18 Take a look and remember to do your best to be polite.
* Don't share your friends' WeChat contact info with strangers. 19

Does your feeling change with the seasons?
Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. Those people sometimes feel sad for no reason. They eat more and put on weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can't think clearly. This is the winter blues.
16
* Get out in the sun. Some experts say that the winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in winter than we do in other seasons. They say that the decrease (减少) in sunlight can make us feel sad. 17
* Get some exercise. Taking a walk or doing some exercise will make chemicals called endorphins (安多酚) in your body. Endorphins are natural "feel good" chemicals.
* 18 Avoid having too much sugar. If you prefer sweet food, like cookies or candy, it may be a sign that you need more protein (蛋白质) , like meat, chicken, or fish.
* Reduce (减少) stress. Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself. 19 Don't be so busy that you get run down.
* Get help. If you feel sad all the time and the feeling won't go away, you may have a bigger problem than the winter blues. 20 Get help from a doctor if necessary.

A problem is only a problem until there is a solution (解决办法).We find solutions by thinking creatively. 16 . In other words, we think outside the box. Sometimes, thinking outside the box solves not just one, but two problems. Amsterdam is one of the most crowded cities in Europe. As a result, housing is very expensive, especially for students.
17 However, finding this type of apartments was almost impossible until recently. While the colleges in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem, thousands of shipping contains(集装箱)were lying quietly in ports(港口)around the world. These huge steel containers carry products from one country to another. The life of each container is about 10 years. 18 Yet they can't recycle all of them because there are so many.
Back in Amsterdam, a company came up with an amazing idea. Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartment? 19 They are all the same size and fit together perfectly. The steel is strong. Moreover, these containers are so widely available that they are quite cheap to buy. For all these reasons, they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply. Building began in 2005, and after only a few weeks, hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes.
When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy, and cold. 20 Each container apartment has a kitchen, a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom. The apartments are warm and quiet. They even have a high-speed Internet connection. Living in a shipping container has become popular. Today, 3,000 Amsterdam students live in the container village.
A. Students need low cost apartments.
B. The containers are great for building apartments.
