When you've decided to take action, read the following first.S is for specific （具体的）：For example, instead of setting a goal （目 标）：of “I want to lose weight"，set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.M is for measurable （可测量的）：Don't try to "become healthy”，instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan.

Try to avoid making the same mistake-rather choose goals that really speak to you.T is for time-conscious （心中有数的）：Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal.

Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.1. In southern China, people usually buy at a time.A. a small amount of foodB. a large amount of foodC. enough food for a weekD. a lot of meat and vegetablesB laugh at you2.

Gary, Jemma, and I used ropes to tie the nets to the ceiling of the dining hall, and it looked really great. Then we cut out fish shapes from colored paper and stuckthemon the nets.Everyone seemed to go to the party in one of three costumes: some kind of fish, a mermaid, or Neptune the “King of the Sea”.The dining hall looked great.
