How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.

    Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent(智慧的).

    On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at; and no one wants to be plain, either--that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy.

    So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive.

More and more people choose paid study rooms with cute tables and chairs, green plants, pretty walls and quiet computer keyboards. To build a friendly learning environment, some rooms have low light to help people focus on their work. Some places have sunrooms and learners can enjoy beautiful nature from large windows. The workers will tell people to keep quiet in the study areas.

"We hope to offer a perfect learning place to people who want to study," said Wang Yi, founder(创始人) of a 24-hour paid study room. "Over the past six months, the number of people coming was much bigger than we first thought, so we are now looking for new places."

Feng Jia comes to the paid study room every day to prepare for exams. "There are not enough seats in public libraries. Also, there are many people talking or walking around," he said. At home, it is even harder to focus because of phones, snacks and pets.

While many people welcome the paid study rooms, others are afraid that these rooms will replace libraries. Xu Qiang, director of the Shanghai Library's reader service centre believes that public libraries and paid study rooms are satisfying the different needs of people. "People come to public libraries for the large number of books, while they go to the study rooms for the learning environment," said Xu.

"Teenager" means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they are young, they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these: Can I get into a university? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} However, other people also influence (影响) their choices (选择).

Who influences teenagers? It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things, friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows, advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Some teenagers say it's best to regard (把……看成) both parents and friends as influences. James, a 17-year-old boy says, "Parents are really important because they can tell you what is right and wrong." {#blank#}3{#/blank#} As a girl said, "If our parents don't let us make our own choices, maybe in the future we won't know how to do it." {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Because friends sometimes know more about them than their parents do.

Do you depend on parents or others when you don't know what to do and how to do it? {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Your future is in your hand.

It is said that Chinese people have"one thousand"ways to cook vegetables.In fact，Chinese people don't just love cooking delicious vegetable dishes.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Chinese people have grown vegetables in their backyards for centuries.Now，they have also grown them in the Antarctic，and even in space!Why do they have deep love of vegetables？Here are some reasons.
