Do You Love Your Dog More Than Humans?
Elizabeth Anderson once had a dog named Grace.She and her husband cared for Grace and tried to keep her out of trouble.They took her on vacations and enjoyed her company around the house.When Grace died at age 14,they were deeply upset.Because Grace was a
dog,“I was unable to talk to anyone about this great grief,”says Anderson.
“But  it's  common  to  feel  that  way  after  the  loss  of  a  dog,”says   Stanley  Coren,a
professor of psychology.“Our relationship with dogs is simple.Some might call it true love.”
The bond between people and their dogs is a lot like love.In one recent study,when the  dogs and their owners just looked at each other,they both had a higher level of the hormone  (荷爾蒙)associated with love.“It is very natural to form a bond between dogs and humans,” says Takefumi Kikusui,author of the study.“But we found the same can't be said for humans
and wolves.”
“Dogs  are  man's  best  friend,”says  Coren.“We've  trained  them  to  be  that  way.We
invented the dog to fit in our lives.For  14,000 years,we've been creating an animal which

understands our communications and we understand its communications.They have a bond with us.”For example,if a person points to something in a distance,a dog will look in the direction of the finger,just like a human.But what about a wolf?“It would simply look at the finger,”Coren says.
For Anderson,dogs are more lovable than humans.She says,“They try their best to please us.They want to do whatever we want to do.Their love is not limited.They are good at all the things we enjoy in a relationship.”

Marta Garcia:Inspired by Technology
Marta Garcia is a high school senior.In the past years she has been working on a variety   of projects.The  projects  are  part  of  her  work  with  Techbridge,a  nonprofit  organization. Techbridge was  set up  in 2000 to  increase the number of women in  science,technology,
engineering and math (STEM).It offers a range of after-school activities for students.
Techbridge focuses on learning by doing.It attracts Marta's interest.“When I was a kid,” says Marta,“I wasn't into English.I was really into technology and math.My older sister was in Techbridge.She encouraged me to join.It was something for me to do after school.I found
it pretty fun. ’

setbacks. ”
Marta plans to attend Smith College this fall.She is still drawn to math and technology.
But she does not want to be limited to one particular course of study.
“I'm not sure what I want to do after college graduation,”says Marta.“I know a STEM  career is an option.”The future will be filled with jobs that require STEM skills.So her love
of technology and her experience with Techbridge will serve her well.

How to Create a Five-Year Career Plan
① More and more people choose to make a five-year career plan.They think that the plan  can help them to learn where they would like to go in the future.In fact,with a five-year plan, you can document the progress you have already made in your chosen career.You can also
learn where you are likely to be heading in the future.
② The initial step is to think about an end goal.This can help you to gain focus on your career.When you are seting your end goal,make sure that you do not choose a job purely based on its salary.Though salaries for the job may be high now,demand often changes over
time.
③ The next step is to get an adviser.An adviser is generally a person who has achieved success in the career that you wish to take.Ideally,an adviser can give you  sound career advice.Make sure that you choose your adviser carefully as they may provide you with great
insight.
④ Next,you will need to think about the abilities that you will need to fulfill your career plan.Assess your current work experience and past education;figure out any specific skills or knowledge you already have;identify any gaps that you will need to fill in order to meet your end goal;and list any opportunities that you can take to improve the skills or knowledge that you have identified
6 Finally,you will need to identify the jobs that you would like to take.If you feel that you already have the required skills and knowledge,apply for them.Even if you fail to get one,
you will gain some invaluable knowledge from the interview.

What Does Happiness Mean?
 
Happiness in life differs for all of us..   26   Very often we are happy,but we just don't realize it.If you think about what actually makes you happy,you might find you have those
things already around you.
Your happiness depends entirely on you.    27   It  is  something inside you that you have to find and work towards.You can take positive action and make changes to your life or
yourself in order to achieve happiness.
28     The  first  step for you to do so is to look at your feelings and ask yourself questions such as “if I could be enjoying something in my life,what would it be?"and“what makes  me  feel  satisfied  in  my  life  right  now?”Once  you  understand  what  your  idea  of happiness is,you can build on what you have now or focus on changing your life to what you
would like it to be.
The important thing to do is to examine your feelings by way of the answers you give to your questions.       29   You should also focus on the good or bad feelings you get from your questions and answers.
Happiness is something that is already right there inside you.You just have to realize what  it  is  and  bring  it  out  to  start  enjoying  life.It  can  be  found  in  family  life,work, relationships,nature or a pet,to name just a few.     30 The point  is  where  to look.You
should look in the right direction,that is,your inner self.
 
 

A.No one else can give it to you. B.You should examine them honestly. C.Happiness is easy to define. D.You should understand what happiness means to you. E.Actually,it can be found in anything and any situation. F.What makes one person happy may not bring happiness to another.

Tips for Improving Your Body Image
 
Some people think that they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves.But actually all you need to   31   is change the way you see your body and
how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is  32     that your body is your own.If you're very worried about your weight or size,-   33   with your doctor to verify that things are OK.But it's no one's
business but your own what your body is like.Ultimately,you have to be happy with yourself.
34   identify which aspects of your appearance you can   35   change and which  you can't.Everyone has things about themselves that they can't change and need to accept,
like their height,for example,or their shoe size.
If there are  36     about  yourself that you want to  change and can change(such as
how fit you are),do this by setting .37     for  yourself.For  example,if  you  want  to  get fit,    38   make a plan to exercise every day and eat    39   foods.Then  keep  track  of your     40_until you reach your goal.Meeting a challenge you set for yourself is a great way to boost self-esteem!
