One day, at a party, I was invited to play a guessing game. When it was my turn, I tried to 12 the object that I had in mind. Suddenly someone said with a laugh, “What did she say?” I felt 13 . Out of kindness, a girl gently advised me to repeat it, but I got stuck on the word “purple”—I couldn’t 14 it. This time, everyone laughed while I was trying hard to get the word out of me.
This experience had its own influence on me. When opportunities were opened up for the summer program I had been waiting for, I 15 to attend the interview. Luckily, I got tons of encouragement from people around me. So I decided to have a try.
At the interview, the other students in my group spoke professionally and very naturally, but I didn’t speak that much. I knew that I could hardly be understood because of my accent. Besides, when I was 16 , it would be even more difficult for me to pronounce words clearly. After the interview, I stayed, said sorry and explained to the teachers. I didn’t want them to think I wasn’t interested or I was being unfriendly. But they appreciatedthat I (欣赏)17 myself. “It’s OK. You don’t have to say sorry. Your accent does not make you less than others,” said one of the teachers.
Surprisingly, I was accepted into the program. Imagine how I felt!
Up to now, I still feel lucky that I took that step. It is a 18 that I have changed. I did not let my accent stop me. I’m sure I will continue to feel anxious about speaking English with strangers.

As David was watching a family riding by on bikes, he remembered how some older boys laughed at him when he was practicing riding the bike last time. David knew he was too big for training wheels.
“Mom,” said David, with tears in his eyes. “Why is Dad always working? He promised to help me take off those training wheels and teach me to ride.” David complained to Mom.
“You know, he is under quite a lot of pressure now with his new job. Let’s give him a break,” Mom said, “Why not let me help you? We can give Dad a surprise when he gets back from work.”
David sighed but agreed. Wearing his helmet(头盔), he rode the bike without training wheels.
“You’d have to hold the bike for me.” “Don’t worry,” Mom replied.
The bike felt shaky when he got on, but David knew Mom wouldn’t let him fall. Slowly they moved farther.
“You’d have to run with me,” he said, riding faster. “Come on, David. You can do it,” Mom said.
The soft wind kissed David’s face as he rode along. “Then you’d have to let go.” “I already did,” a voice came from behind him.
David turned his head and saw Mom waving, with a big smile on her face. He then rode back to his mother. It felt scary, but it also felt cool. He was riding like a big kid! Mom hugged him. “I’m proud of you! I’m sure Dad will be, too.”
Later that day when Dad’s car pulled over, David rode to him on his bike, shaky but excited.
“Wow, really? Without your training wheels, ha? I’m so proud of you!”
“Thanks, but you know what, Dad? I can’t wait to ride bikes together with you and Mom.”
“How about now?”

Research shows that there’s actually something people can do to reduce the risk for dementia(痴呆). Just put on a step counter and start checking your steps-walking between 3,800 and 9,800 steps each day helps to cut down dementia risk.
The study found that people between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years. Furthermore, people who walked with “purpose”-—at a pace over 40 steps a minute—were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day. “It is a brisk(轻快的) walking activity, like a power walk,” said Borja Del Pozo Cruz, a researcher in health sciences for University of Cadiz in Spain.
The study showed even people who walked 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk of dementia by 25%. “That would be enough, at first, for inactive people,” said Cruz in an email. “In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to make very inactive older adults move—3,800 steps is very doable for many, even those that are less fit,” he added. “Perhaps, more active and fitter people should aim for 10,000, where we see the greatest effects.”
But there was an even more interesting result coming out of the study: The largest reduction in dementia risk—62%—was achieved by people who walked at a very brisk speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day. Earlier research described 100 steps a minute as a “brisk” level of intensity(强度) in their article Is 112 the New 10,000. Dr. Okonkwo and Dr. Planalp, two researchers on dementia, argued that 112 seemed easier to achieve than 10,000 steps a day, and people looking to reduce their dementia risk focus on their walking speed over their walked distance.
The researchers agree this is a very interesting finding, and they note that intensity of stepping matters more than how far people usually walk if they want to stay smart after aging. Technology could be used to follow not only number of steps but also speed. These types of numbers can also be put in common watches, but more research is needed.

In a recent study in the U. S. and U. K., Van Tilburg and his team asked people through online surveys to describe the characteristics of a boring person according to someone they knew. Being dull and quiet, having no interests, no opinions and lacking(缺乏)a sense of humor are often mentioned.
The researchers then followed up with additional surveys. The results clearly suggest that being considered boring is a negativepersonality characteristic, and is often tied (负面的)to introversion(内向).
So why are introverts sometimes seen as boring? Maybe because quiet people value their privacy and avoid sharing their everyday life. Their behavior is the opposite of the preference in a culture towards extroversion(外向). This preference leads to a fixed idea that “quiet” means “boring”, and it reflects a push toward uncontrolled extroversion—just think about people crazily posting nearly everything on social media of their life and activities to attract attention.
Another research argued that it might be problematic to overvalue extroversion as more socially preferred than introversion. This wrong idea might start from teenage years when we think having the most friends and being the best-liked means being popular. This type of everyone-agreed popularity may make quiet people see their lack of extroversion as a deficit.
In fact, introverts tend to have the “quiet ego(自我)”, which allows them to have the ability to put themselves in other people’s shoes and understand situations from a bigger

picture. According to researchers Bauer and Wayment, the quiet ego is a way of explaining the self that goes beyond being “self-centered” by considering both self and others. The quiet ego helps introverts to balance self-focused values, like power and achievement, and other-focused values, such as kindness and care for others. Balancing both values can lead to psychological well-being and life satisfaction.
Generalizing introverted people with negative characteristics is false and harmful because introversion can carry many positive influences. In fact, an introverted style can be a strength. This is because introverts are likely to be truer to themselves than extroverts. Moreover, accepting their introversion as a benefit would in turn improve their sense of happiness. There can be a joy to being “boring” that can go along with a quiet, introverted personality.

With just a boat, a paddleand a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in (桨)a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing(划独木舟), but there are some differences. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation-a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak—it can be folded into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissuesthan running. Kayaking (关节和组织)doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try? 32.Do kayakers sit on the floor or on a bench of the boat while kayaking? 33.Why is whitewater kayaking much more exciting? 34.What is special about the new type of kayak?
