Some Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough Times Unfortunately,life is not a bed of roses.We are going through life facing sad experiences.Moreover,we are grieving various kinds of loss:a friendship,a romantic relationship or a house.Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time,but you should remember that they won’t last forever.When our time of mourning is over,we press forward,stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life.Furthermore,these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness.I want to share these old truths I’ve learned along the way.41_Fear is both useful and harmful.This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it.Unfortunately,people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears.My favorite actor Will Smith once said,“Fear is not real.It is a product of thoughts you create.Do not misunderstand me.Danger is very real.But fear is a choice.”I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42_If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past,try to focus on the present moment.Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future.You may feel guilt over your past,but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change.Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive.Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you.Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past,but a mindset that can be designed into the present.43_Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times.You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have.Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44_No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is,you should always remember that you are not alone.Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life,especially your dearest and nearest people.You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor,help and companionship.If you have no friends or relatives,try to participate in several online communities,full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45_Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources.This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life.When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best.You live in your skin,think your own thoughts,have your own values and make your own choices.45选？

A.You are not alone
B.Don’t fear responsibility for your life C.Pave your own unique path
C.Most of your fears are unreal
D.Think about the present moment F.Experience helps you grow
E.There are many things to be grateful for

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.

Looking to help the environment?Consider the following simple ideas.
Turn off electrical devices when they're not being used.
Turning off,rather than leaving on stand-by,things like your TV and computer will save huge amounts of energy. With this,we can all help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the earth's atmosphere,thereby reducing pollution and global warming.
Share your car.
Rather than traveling to work alone,why not arrange car-sharing with one or more of your friends or colleagues?To give you an example,if you drive a fashionable car,you will use more energy in a year than you would leaving your fridge open for seven years,or your TV on for thirty-two years!Imagine the savings if you shared your car with 2,3 or even 4 other people!
Refuse junk mail.
While we all complain about how much junk mail we get,we very rarely do anything about it. The mail continues to go straight from our letter-boxes into the garbage bin-with 99% of it not even opened.What can you do about this?There are various websites where you can register to receive no junk mail.As well as saving time,you'll also be doing a lot for the environment. Each year,100 million trees are used to produce junk mail. 250,000 homes could be heated with one day's supply of junk mail.
There are many other everyday changes you can make to help the environment. They will cost you nothing,and many will actually save you money!Why not give it a try?We can all help, if we really want to.

We shouldn't buy a car since it wastes so much energy.

B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

Above all know your audience and match what you say to their needs．Creating your presentation with your audience in mind will assure that your audience will follow you．If your presentation doesn't appeal to your audience-no matter how well you have developed your presentation--your presentation will fall on deaf ears．This leads us to the next rule:Know your material thoroughly．Your material needs to be second nature to you．Practice and rehearse your presentation with friends,in front of a mirror,and with colleagues．If you are speaking in a second language,make sure that you record yourself and listen to a number of times before going to practice with a native speaker(if possible).
Remember that you are an actor when presenting．Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion,but also the tone you use is well chosen．If your topic is serious,be solemn．However,it's always a good idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker．Don't worry about making friends,rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner．Speak slowly and clearly,and remember to address everyone in the audience-even the person the farthest away from you.
To achieve the above goals follow these tips when giving your presentation:
●Speak with conviction．Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience．
●Do not read from notes．Referring to notes is fine,but do so only briefly.
●Maintain eye contact with your audience．Making direct eye contact with individuals will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation.
●Bring handouts．Don't just use a PowerPoint presentation．Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most
important takeaways in mind.
●Know when to stop．This cannot be underestimated．You need to make your case,but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said.

Handouts are important because__

A.they have your contact information written on them
B.they contain the key takeaways of your presentation
C.they provide pictures for the audience to look at
D.they can be used for audience to take notes
