10、 family problems, conflicts at work, illness, stress over money. But a simple, aged-old principle may be part of both the prevention and the cure: Help others to help yourself.A lot of research shows that people who give time, money or support to others are more likely to be happy and satisfied with
11、 their lives and less likely to be depressed. Carolyn Schwartz, a research professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, found that those receiving support from others can gain some mild benefit, but the real favored persons were those lending a supportive. In fact, those who offered
12、support experienced great improvements in their quality of life several times more than those who were helped.This phenomenon is nothing new.

18、l to teachers for keeping kids occupied between August and June. Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled A life in the day of a WA state representative, and responded to teachers complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti
19、-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school. Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. I
20、n fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how ar

Orders are generally taken at one of the cash registers. You will be asked for your first name, which you should state cl
36、early. 17 Dont be mad if they spell or read your name incorrectly.

However, if you order a small, medium, large, or e
37、xtra-large drink, they will still understand you. For ordering basic coffee, beyond specifying the size you want, you need to tell the servers whether you want regular or decaffeinated coffee. 19 If you intend to add cream or milk to your coffee, say with room for cream, or simply, with room. If you
38、 want a full cup, say no room. Read the list above the counter ahead of time, because they may not ask you which you would like.20 You will have to wait a bit longer for anew batch(批)to get prepared. Once you youre your coffee, you will find milk, cream and sweeteners on a nearby counter. In a word,
