    A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals(目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here is some advice about how to be your own life coach:

    Pay attention to your relationships with others. Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.

    Face the fears about the future. Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible. ①但是他们坚持努力工作，永不放弃。

    Develop your talents. ②If you want to achieve your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have. And you should also uncover (发现)any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.

    Be thankful. Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive (积极的) things. Think of the best days you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Thank for the wonderful people you have in your life.

    Not only adults(成年人) but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.

    They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have a lot of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. They don't have their own time to do what they are interested in.

    Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted. They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time   (watch) TV. Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food and take little exercise.

    I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with (处理) the problems. They should make a plan for study and hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.

    John, a farmer, was riding his cart(运货马车)along the country road. He had to arrive at the market early so that he could sell his vegetables. It rained heavily the day before, so it was very difficult for the horse to move on in the mud(泥). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    It was more difficult for the horse to move the cart. John climbed down from his seat and stood beside his cart.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} He felt really sad. But he didn't try to pull the wheels up by himself. Instead, he looked up at the sky and started shouting, "I am unlucky! {#blank#}3{#/blank#}"

    After some time, an old man walked by. "Do you think you can move the cart by simply looking at it and shouting?" he asked. "Did you try to get the wheels out of the mud by yourself? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Come on, put your shoulder(肩) to the wheels, and you will soon find the way out."

John did as the old man said.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} John learned his lesson. He thanked the man and went happily on his way.
