   We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently(坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing(追求). Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable.
When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.
Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.
You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.
【小题1】People who want things instantly will fail in many things because _______.
A.they want greater efficiency
B.they don't stick to their goal

【小题2】The main advantage persistent people have over instant people is ______.

   Everyone sleeps. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten. 【小题1】.

Watch TV until you fall asleep

It has nothing to do with what you watch-TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series. 【小题2】. The bright light keeps you awake all night. So even if you nod off(in front of the TV, for example),you probably won't stay asleep for long.

Sleep with pets

【小题3】. They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.

Eat fatty, heavy foods when it is too close to bedtime
Heartburn strikes(侵袭)anyone of any age, but it's the most common GI disorder(胃肠失调)in older adults. If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you've probably found the discomfort of your stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
【小题4】
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever-turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.
Accept snoring(打呼噜)as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it's considered the biggest sleep killer, and it's linked to several causes; sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. 【小题5】. For the snorer,it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.
A.Lower your body temperature before bedtime
B.Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow
C.Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal
D.Exercise heavily when it is too close to bedtime
E.Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
F.Most seriously, it can be caused by a dangerous illness
G.Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping

   Communication is one of our most important ways of being in the world as human beings. 【小题1】 It is an art because if you practice it enough times you will master it. It is a science in that there are rules that must be followed for communication to occur. It is the communication that has changed our world. However, many of us have difficulty communicating with each other effectively. 【小题2】.

·Important contexts. For communication to occur there has to be a sender and a receiver. There needs to be someone who is speaking and someone who is listening. There has to be a context for that communication to locate the message. 【小题3】 The receiver can better understand the message behind the message, the subtext of the message and so on with the help of the context.

·【小题4】 Communication requires that barriers (障碍) be laid to rest so the sender and the receiver of the message can be in contact with each other. Barriers to communication include noises, not giving your full attention, speaking on your cellphone while the other is talking. In today’s multi-task work, it’s no wonder there are so many troubles — not only at home, but also in workplaces, places of worship, meetings, etc.

·Rewarding listening. Listening is hard work. It is difficult but with practice, listening can become as natural as eating an apple pie and an ice cream. 【小题5】 When you are not listening, the communication is not getting through. Listening does not mean being quiet and pretending you are giving your whole attention while your mind wanders to what’s for dinner or something like that.

A.Barriers in communication.
B.Communication is both an art and a science.
C.Listening is an active part of communication.
D.Communication is at the root of many of human problems.
E.The context is very important in getting a particular message across.
F.The context involves the place where the communication is taking place.
G.Here are some factors we should pay attention to if we want to make ourselves understood.

How to Create a Mind Map

Most of us think visually but write textually. 【小题1】It also makes the information we list more difficult to process,remember,and share.

【小题2】It combines the brain's visual nature with our tendency to write down words. We end up with a diagram that combines logic and order in a less structured manner. This promotes clearer thinking and better comprehension. 【小题3】

So,how do you create a mind map?The most basic method is to just use a pen and paper,or a marker and whiteboard. It begins with a central topic or idea,then flows outward. 【小题4】 The next level of topics is represented by branches extending from it.

There aren't really any rules for creating mind maps. While most flow outwardly from the central topic,some users prefer to build mind maps in one direction. 【小题5】This can make groups of ideas easier to identify(识别)and remember. It also makes a mind map more enjoyable to create and use.

Mind maps are extremely effective for taking notes, planning a project, brainstorming an idea, presenting information to others, and many other uses. Take out your pen and have a try.

A.They help to clarify thinking.
B.This goes against how our minds actually work.
C.A mind map is the perfect answer to this dilemma.
D.They help us save time by focusing on key issues.
E.Think of it as a tree, where the central point is the trunk.
F.It's also a lot more enjoyable than simply writing down lists.
G.Others like to add colors, pictures, or symbols in their mind maps.
