The singer, Mick Jagger, sings a song that tells us we can’t always get what we want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. In the past years my parents have told me this saying many times. But I didn ’t listen to them.

This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I can ’t see her and she is having a difficult time in school. So last month, I tried to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money. Finally I thought I could get a job and work hard to earn some money. I applied to Safeway Company and I succeeded.

Maybe you will feel surprised when you are told that hot drink you're

drinking could actually make you colder.

And that's not the only thing making it hard to stay warm when the

temperature continues to drop around you. You're going to need all the

advice you can get to stay warm this winter.

Below are 5 things that'll help you avoid having to do this all winter.

1. Loneliness can lower your body temperature.

The lack of social contact can lead to physical consequences. In other words, giving someone the "cold shoulder" can actually make them feel colder.

2. Hot drinks might actually cool you off.

When having a hot drink, your tongue nerves “tells” the rest of your body that something "hot" is coming and you need to start sweating. This will not help you become warm. On the opposite, consuming too much of a cold drink can actually warm you up because it causes your blood vessels to tighten.

3. You don't catch a cold because of cold weather.

Exposure to lower temperatures doesn't give you a cold by itself. Instead, the rise in sickness and colds in the winter months is mainly because people spending more time indoors, which allows germs to spread between people more easily.

4. Wearing white might actually be the warmest color.

Usually we wear white in summer and darker clothes in winter because black clothes get more heat from the sun and white clothing reflects it, but this common idea might be wrong. Some researchers say that white's function as a reflector also applies to(适用于) body heat, that is to say, wearing white may trap your natural heat close to your body. Dark clothes may be less likely to trap your body heat in.

5. The cold weather can help you lose weight.

In cold temperatures the body works harder to warm itself up, not only burning more calories but also activating(激活) brown fat, which burns them more efficiently than white fat. So, some people believe that punishing themselves with icy-cold temperatures can help them lose more weight.

( )32. We can read this passage possibly in ___________.

A. The black one.

B. The white one

Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes Array their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If

not, here are four steps that really work!

Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write

English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right

size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember that those capital letters are

written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes

the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and

even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard

when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil

so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student

with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwrit ing. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better

when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice

by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports

player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!

riting is of much 65 to every person.
