Your parents will save a lot of money." said a family friend when I was five years old.    I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics (整容机构） everywhere. South Korea is known to have the highest ratio (比例） of cosmetic surgery to people worldwide. It is very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as a present when they graduate from high school.    What made South Koreans fall so madly in love with cosmetic surgery? The promise of beauty. Women think it's necessary and worthy to have the cosmetic surgery. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle. It also plays a big role in the workplace that men are also starting to resort to cosmetic surgery. For example, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and over six feet tall, gets many more job offers than his best friend, who is shorter and heavier, even though both of them graduated from the same college and had the same GPA and certificates.    In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty equals happiness.(1) Are there cosmetic surgery clinics everywhere in Seoul？ (2) What do women think of the cosmetic surgery in South Korea？ (3) When do girls usually get eyelid surgery in South Korea？ (4) According to the last two paragraphs， list two advantages of cosmetic surgery 2.     Train Your Brain    How powerful are our brains?

The driver of the other car, the man who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started shouting at us. I couldnt believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the man. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This man almost sent us to hospital.”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Rubbish Truck(垃圾车法则)”. He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger(愤怒) and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish gets together, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes theyll throw it at you. Dont take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Dont take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods(心情).

Needless to say, over those years Ive had a chance to look at education reform(改革）from a lot of perspectives(观点). Some of those reforms have been good. Some of them have been not so good. And we know why kids drop out. We know why kids dont learn. Its thought family cant support their children. Some students dont want to learn anything that they arent interested in. Some parents think others bring negative influences to their own children. We know why. But one of the things that we never discuss or we rarely discuss is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.James Comer says that no significant(重要的）learning can occur(发生）without a significant relationship. George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships. Everyone has been affected by a teacher or an adult. We can stand to have more relationships. So teachers become great actors and great actresses, and we come to work when we dont feel like it, and were listening to policy that doesnt make sense, and we teach anyway. Kids dont learn from people they dont like.Some people think that we can either have it in us to build a relationship or we dont. I think Stephen Covey had the right idea. He said we should just throw in a few simple things, like seeking first to understand as opposed （相反的）to being understood, simple things like apologizing(道歉). Have you ever thought that? Tell a kid youre sorry, theyre in shock.(1) Are all the education reforms good enough?_(2) How many reasons that children dont want to go to school or drop out are in the passage? _(3) What should teachers do if they want to build a good relationship with students? _(4) Do you think having a good relationship with your teachers will help you to study well?

A good friend will listen to our complaints, and his words will make us feel better.Bad moods are inevitable(不可避免的). We need to experience them, but that doesnt mean we have to let them continue. We are in control of our thoughts and feelings. If we can use the ways above, we will be able to beat the blues and have a happy mood.(1) Do wealways experience bad moods in our life? _(2) When we are unhappy, what is the best therapy? _(3) How can we make up our mind to become happy? _(4) Do you have “the blues” in your life?
