Have you ever changed your mind, or even given up a dream because you were afraid of what someone else might think of you? If you're often worried about what friends, family, or even strangers in the street might think, then you're using up a huge amount of energy worrying.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} But the steps below should help.

Step 1: Ask yourself what matters to you.

    Maybe you can't stand the gym, but your best friend works out every day. It's natural for people around you to have different values from you.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Step 2:{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    The truth is that I'm not the centre of the world, and neither are you! Most of the people around you are far too busy going about their own lives to think much about you.

Step 3: Recognize that their opinion can't hurt you.

    There are a few cases where opinions will make a difference.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} But the people who really matter are going to love you for who you are.

Step 4:{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    You can't control people's thoughts. You've got no idea what might go through their head, or why. You can't please everyone all of the time, and there's no need to try to.

A. Do whatever you want to do.

B. This is a hard habit to get rid of.

C. You should make everyone around you happy.

D. So just be clear and honest with yourself.

E. Remember that they're not all watching you.

    At the end of a long day, it's all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} As it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isn't as harmless as you probably thought.

    The first negative result of sleeping with wet hair is purely cosmetic (美容). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} lf you try to style your hair in the morning after sleeping on it wet, you're probably going to have trouble styling the resulting curliness (卷曲), funny waves, and flat sides.

    When you wake up, you're probably going to have to re-wet it again to properly dry it and regain control. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Sleeping with wet hair does not immediately damage your hair, but it can certainly lead to hair breakage, because hair is weakest when wet.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} First, you can swap your cotton pillowcases for silk ones. Silk has a much smoother surface, so you won't experience as much unfortunate breakage.

    Next, you can make sure to sleep with your hair down, instead of up in a tight ponytail. In addition, you should replace your tight bands with a soft one that isn't going to roughly pull at night.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Dry oils and texturizing mousses (摩丝) are some of the best ways to ensure you don't wake up looking like a lion while protecting your precious hair from damage.

    Now that you know how bad sleeping with wet hair is, make sure you're not making these hairstyle mistakes.

A. Finally, never skip out on applying product.

B. Here are some tips that can help dry any hair faster.

C. This unnecessarily adds time to your morning routine.

D. If you haven't noticed, the ends of your hair tend to dry first.

E. You can't predict how your wet hair is going to look in the morning.

F. But have you ever thought about the risks of sleeping with wet hair?

G. If you must sleep with wet hair, there are a few ways to minimize the damage.

    Live Every Day Like It's A Holiday

    We feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So whether or not you're going away this summer, there's plenty you can do to make sure you benefit from that holiday feeling.

    Sleep like a holidaymaker

    Sleep like a baby when you're on your holidays but stay awake when you're in your usual routine? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} To reset your sleep pattern, avoid bringing problems to bed. That includes your phone, TV or laptop. Make sure the room is dark and cool. Aim for at least seven hours' —just as you would on holiday.

    Get moving

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Given that exercise is cheap, healthy and reduces stress, it makes absolute sense to build it into your day. A walk will release happy hormones, and eases anxiety and mild depression.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Part of the joy of going away is lingering over delicious food with families. Take up the holiday habit of sitting down as a family for at least one meal a day. Families who eat together experience less anxiety, less depression and less obesity, research has found.

    Be a tourist in your own city

    Part of the thrill of a holiday is the novelty of discovering a new place and doing new things. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} At weekends, check out a new music venue, visit a different museum or have a drink in that interesting-looking pub you're always walking past. It will get you out of routine and make you feel alive. A bit like a holiday, really.

    Choose your food wisely and you can add years to your life. Our list of anti-aging food goes way beyond green tea! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, it doesn't matter how you eat your green and yellow beans, as long as you eat them. Eating whole, cooked peas and other beans may actually slow aging and make skin look younger.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, it may be one of the best thing you can do for your health. People who eat these anti-aging foods, especially walnut (核桃), three times a week or more enjoy two to three more years of life.

    Don't panic — no one is saying you have to give up your steak — but doing a few meatless meals a week can increase the number of weeks in your life. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Anti-aging foods like rice, beans, tofu, and buckwheat nearly as much protein per serving as meat does, and you get the added benefit of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

    Carrots are the typical healthy food. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. But did you know that carrots can not only lengthen your life span but also help you look younger?

    Not only are blueberries delicious, but they're also full of tons of nutrients, namely Vitamins A and C, as well as anti-aging antioxidants (抗氧化物质)like anthocyanin (花青素). A higher intake of anthocyanin may be associated with reductions in age-related decline to help preserve your health as you get older. The antioxidants found in blueberries can also protect against oxidative damage to your cells.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

Most teens can't wait to become adults, free to make their own decisions. But with freedom comes responsibility, and this applies especially to your finances. The earlier you begin developing good financial habits, the more secure your future will be. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Educate Yourself

To take charge of your financial future, read a few basic books on personal finance. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} And you will find it easier to say "no" to a friend who encourages you to waste money or classmates who plan expensive trips that you can't afford.

Plan Your Spending

 {#blank#}3{#/blank#} First, never spend more money than you can get, and second, watch where your money goes. The best way to do this is by creating a personal spending plan to track the money coming in and going out. 

Postpone Satisfaction

 {#blank#}4{#/blank#} However, you'd better prevent yourself from doing so. With more money saved, you can buy something even better. So whether you received money from a part-time job or special occasions like Chinese New Year, it is wise to hang on to your money so that you can enjoy a greater satisfaction later on. 

Start an Emergency Fund

To get ready for independence, you'd better save money for emergencies. So why not stick to a wise spending plan and put some money into this fund every month? {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It will also give you a sense of safety and enable you to sleep better at night. 

Managing money is a skill that takes time to develop. If you can form the habits of self-educating, planning and saving, you'll be on your way to a solid financial future.

A. There are two golden rules for you to follow.

B. Waiting to get what you want is called postponed satisfaction.

C. The best way to monitor your spending is to open a bank account.

D. Here are some habits that can help set you up for financial success.

E. This simple action will help you get out of unexpected financial problems.

F. Many teens rush to buy their favorite items as soon as they get some money.

G. Once you have learned enough knowledge, you won't be easily misled by others.
