"there is no replay button. Moreover there is no erase and record again facility!" 生命没有预演——它没有重放按钮。它同样也没有删除和记录功能.
“I was once told by someone that I should end each day by crossing it off(v.除去) my calendar and saying out loud, “There goes another day of my life, never to return again.” Try this for yourself, and notice how much it sharpens your focus. When you end a day with the feeling that you would have lived it the same if you had the chance to repeat it, you gain a sense of gratitude that helps you focus on what’s really important to you. When you end the day with a feeling of regret or loss, you gain the awareness to try a different approach the next day”
If we’re not careful, we don’t notice that the days are passing us by. We take the paths of least resistance, sticking(v.粘住) within our comfort zone. We watch TV all evening rather than learn skills that will help us advance. We put up with(v.忍受，容忍) unwarranted(adj.无根据的) criticism, we passively submit to(v.屈服于) requests rather than assert our needs. We allow a lack of confidence to pass up(v.拒绝) on an opportunity.
Looking back over the past year, or even the past week, by doing things and stretching myself (v.拓展自我，做平时不做的事)that I feel I have made the most of(v.充分利用)my days. Or as the quote says, I would live it the same way if allowed to repeat it. But, to use another cliché(n.老生常谈), life is not a rehearsal - there is no replay button. Moreover there is no erase and record again facility!

How to put your best face forward and pose like a model？
总是对拍出的照片不满意？下面告诉你10招让照片更上相的技巧：
1.Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens, move your face forward a bit, and tip down your chin. 让你的眼睛聚焦在镜头上方稍稍一点的地方，脸凑前一点，下巴往里收一点。
2.Put your tongue behind your teeth and smile, which will relax your face. 把你的舌头放在牙齿后面，微笑，这样可以放松你的脸部。
3.Keep your arms by your side—but not glued there. To look natural, they should be a little away from your body. 把手臂放在身体两侧，不要僵着，手臂不要贴着身体，这样看起来会更自然。
4.Test-drive clothing against a white wall, with an indirect, natural light source (under a tree, indoors near a window)—it will show whether blue really is your best color. 靠着白墙看看衣服的效果，试试不那么直接的自然光线，比如在树下，或者是在靠着窗户的室内，可以看的出这件衣服的颜色是不适合照相。
5.As a rule, avoid patterns. 避免穿有图案的衣服照相。
6.Photos exaggerate everything, so go easy on the makeup. For women under 30, a little mascara and lip gloss; over 30, add a touch of concealer. 照片会把一切东西放大，所以化妆上面不用花太多功夫。30岁以下的你，涂一点点睫毛膏和唇膏就ok了,30岁以上的你，涂一点遮瑕膏就好了。
7.Practice the classic model pose: Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider. 练习经典的模特姿势，正对镜头转45度，一只脚放在另一只脚的前面，一个肩膀放在前面，如果你脸正对前面，你的身体会看起来很宽。
9.Study photogenic people as well as photos in which you think you looked best. Look at your best angle. You'll probably see that you were laughing or having a good time. Capturing someone when they're relaxed or most animated usually makes for the best results. 研究上镜的人以及你照得最满意的照片。看看你最好看的角度是什么，也许你会发现，那都是些开心的时刻。捕捉某个人放松或者精力充沛时的样子往往可以得到最好的照片。
10.To feel at ease, try closing your eyes, then opening them slowly just before the photo is taken. 放松，闭上你的双眼，然后在按下快门的那一刹那睁开。
先来学学这个词: Fragile: adj. 易碎的, 脆的 This glass looks very fragile. 这个杯子看起来很容易碎。 Is anything fragile enclosed? 这包裹里有易碎的东西吗？

Your goal to getting dressed for work is to project a professional, competent image, regardless of your employment level or career path. 无论我们的工作岗位以及职业道路如何发展，我们都希望职业装能够给我们带来更职业、更具竞争力的职场形象。
The styles, colors, lengths and fit of your fashion choices will speak volumes about your ability to do your job. If you are concerned about your career, you'll be more concerned with looking professional than looking cute or trendy. 你的着装风格，颜色，长度，你的眼光都似乎在预示着你的职场能力。如果你穿着得体、职业，就可以赢得更多的信任。
In general, the more distracting a piece of clothing or jewelry is, the less appropriate it is for office wear. 一般来说，过于引人注目的衣服，都不太适合在职场来穿。
More guidelines to looking polished: 下面是具体可以怎么穿：
?Color plays a big part in professional image. Traditional career colors include red (aggressive), navy (trustworthy), gray (conservative) and black (chic). Most of these colors work well in pantsuits, skirts and shoes and mix back with softer feminine colors that are appropriate like ice blue, lilac, soft pink and ivory. Loud colors like hot pink and wild prints are much riskier in the office, but some creative types can still pull them off. 颜色是很重要的一部分，传统的职场常用色包括红色（有一些侵略性），海军蓝（容易获得信任），灰色（比较保守），黑色的（雅致），大部分这些颜色在裤装，裙装，还有鞋子都可用，还可以搭配一些比较粉嫩的女性颜色，比如蓝色，淡紫色，还有淡粉色以及象牙色。深粉红色还有豹纹在办公室里面是比较冒险的颜色，但是搭配着一些有创意的款式还是可以行得通的。
?Jewelry that jangles (chandelier earrings, stacks of bangles) is distracting. Opt for stud earrings or single bracelets. 叮铃作响的珠宝（比如水晶耳环，层层叠叠的手镯）都容易分散人的注意力，一些扣式的耳环以及单个的手镯是不错的选择。
?Most of what constitutes a polished image is in the details: manicured nails, run-free hose, scuff-free shoes, neat hair. 好印象藏在细节里，比如修过的指甲，简洁的长裤袜，没有磨损的鞋子，整洁的头发。
Don't know where to start working on your career image? 不知道从哪开始打造你的职场形象？
One of the best clues to company dress codes is what your boss wears. 有一个好方法，就是跟随你的上司的穿法。

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
欢迎收听Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time. 生活并非总是如你所愿。希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。但别放弃希望，因为事物并非一成不变；不同时间，不同场合，你会呈现不同的面貌。
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it. 处处留心你身边的美丽：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。请相信，美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。一个微笑，一双援助之手，一个关心的举止，一句友善的话语，无不传达着爱。如果你有心去寻找，爱无所不在。
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience, and understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope. Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference. 奉献爱心吧，从中你会发现生活的力量，感受生活带来的幸福快乐，学会忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。记住，爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。哪怕生活中挥之不去的不快和困难将你重重包围，让你力不从心，但你仍可以尽力而为。累积点滴努力，最终你将扭转乾坤。
This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated, we need only take a deep breath and say, "Yes," and hope will reappear. 这里是Faith主持的Faith轻松电台节目。 希望一直就在我们身边。当我们遇到挫折时，请深呼一口气并对自己说：我可以做到！希望就会重现。
If you give up when it's WINTER, you will miss the promise of SPRING, the beauty of your SUMMER and the fulfillment of your FALL. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come sometime or later.
Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue
inherent in the state of being alive. . . . If life is to be sustained
hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.

1.Apply Moisturizer and Foundation 保湿和上底妆 First thing you want to do is to moisturize - so you're just going to apply the moisturizer all over. Second thing you want to do is to apply your foundation, and I always suggest using a sponge as opposed to your fingers - your finger oils and everything can really give you an uneven look. Once your foundation is done you will conceal your eyes and any blemishes. 首先要做的第一件事情就是保湿。然后上底妆，我建议你用海绵而不是你的手指。因为你的手指上分泌的油脂会让你脸部两边的妆容不对称。打好底，遮盖好你眼部周围的瑕疵。
2.Keep Eye Makeup Simple for a Fresh Face 给眼部简单上妆 Now we're going to move on to the eyes. You want to be very minimal with what you use. Start off with a white base and just apply it all over your lid. And then you're going to want to take a really light brown eye shadow, and when you're going into your crease, always assess the shape of your eyes. Next thing you want to do is apply an eyeliner. And the trick is to keep it as close to your lash line as possible, and a really thin line so it doesn't even look like you're wearing any, but it's just going to give your eyes that pop that you need to look awake and ready to go. You can use a gel eyeliner like this one or you can also use a pencil, just make sure the pencil is very sharp. And you're just going to dot it, right above the lash line. And now you want to do your mascara - you can use brown or black, it doesn't matter, it's your preference. And the best way to apply mascara is to look down, lift your brow. 现在我们来谈论一下眼睛部分。减少你的用量。首先你在眼睑上用白色打底，然后涂上浅棕色的眼影，在涂的时候一定要根据你的眼睛的形状特点来决定。然后要做的就是画眼线，画眼线的要点在于你要画得尽量贴近你的睫毛，很细的眼线会让你看不出画了妆，但是可以让你看起来很有精神，有整装待发的精神面貌。你可以用眼线液，也可以用眼线笔，但是记住不要让眼线笔太粗，在睫毛上方涂抹。然后就是上睫毛膏，你可以用棕色或者黑色，都没有关系，这是你的个人偏好，最好的涂抹方法就是眼睛向下看，抬高你的眉毛。
3.Use Neutral Blush and Lip Colors 稍微涂抹腮红，选择合适的唇色 Now, the next step is blush. You can use any type of blush, just make sure it’s in a neutral pink-brown tone, so you just look naturally flushed. You always follow your cheek bone - you don't want to go into this section right here where it's going toward the ear, you want to keep it right above that. And now we'll move on to the lips. Keep it neutral, like another pink or brown to match the tone of the blush that you use. 下一步就是腮红了。你可以选择任何型号的腮红，但是要确保它是红棕的色调，这样看起来会更自然。别涂到耳朵那里了，就在颧骨的那一小块地方涂抹就好。我们再来讲讲唇部，一定要自然，偏粉色或者棕色，能匹配你使用的腮红的颜色最好。
4.Finish Your Fresh Face Look with Powder 粉饼定妆 So now to finish the look, you just want to set it all in a powder, and here we have it: the fresh face look. 最后用粉饼定妆，然后就大功告成咯！

Hey everyone,I am glad that you choose Bigear to study English with and welcome to Michelle Native English Classroom.很高兴和大家在Michelle的地道英语教室见面了。大家一定想知道今天的学习内容是什么吧？别急，先回想一下上期学到了什么。 Don’t push me. 别逼我 Lose head 丧失理智
Hi there,新的一周开始了，it is a brand new start!How is eveything going on with you?全新的起点你们准备好了吗？每天忙碌的生活是不是让你们感到很有压力啊？If you really feel under pressure,it is essential for you to find a way to ease yourself.当你们需要一些情感宣泄的时候，可以找个空旷的地方大喊：Don’t push me!!! Push推和pull拉是一对反义词。想想当别人推你的时候是不是很有压迫感和紧逼感呢？所以 push me并不是推我，而是逼我。还有push me to the limit,也是表达着类似的意思。
But——attention please!When you have to deal with pressure,remember——never lose head.在英语中，lose head可不是它表面的那种恐怖的意思，而是丧失理智或是疯狂。 So，no matter how hard you feel,you should believe that the difficulties are only temporary and that you can conquer them definitely.You must be rational and positive when you face your life.不论遇到多少困难和挫折，大家都要积极乐观地去面对哦。After all,life is a flower.

Six, seven or eight -- so how many hours of sleep are enough for you? It's probably best to aim for seven hours of quality shut-eye every night, says a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher. 6小时，7小时还是8小时一到底我们需要睡多长时间呢？科学家的最新研究表明7小时或许是最佳的睡眠时常。
Anoop Shankar and his team at West Virginia University has found that those who sleep more or less than seven hours a day are at a raised risk of developing coronary heart disease, the Sleep'journal reported. 《睡眠》杂志报道称弗吉尼亚大学的安普桑卡尔和他的研究小组发现当睡眠不足或者超过7个小时的时候，人更容易患冠心病.
They have based their findings on an analysis of data gathered in a national US study in 2005 on 30,000 adults. 他们是根据2005年在美国一项对3000名成年人进行研究的数据中分析得到的结论。
The study found found that the subjects who said they slept nine hours or longer a day were one-and-a-half times more likely than seven-hour sleepers to develop heart disease. 研究发现每天睡9个小时或者更长时间的人患心脏类疾病的几率是每天睡7个小时的人的1.5倍。
And, adults under 60 who slept five hours or fewer a night raised their risk of developing cardiovascular disease more than threefold compared to people who sleep seven hours, the study found. 睡眠低于5个小时的60岁以下的成年人出现冠心病的几率是睡眠7个小时的3倍。
According to the researchers, short sleep duration is associated with angina, while both sleeping too little and too much are linked to heart attack and stroke. 专家说，睡眠不足常常会出现咽峡炎，睡眠严重不足或者嗜睡容易导致心脏病发作和中风。

Seek out these people and spend time with them. Their optimism will soon start to rub off on you. Talk to them about your challenges; they may have a perspective that can really give you a push in the right direction? 找到这样的人并花时间和他们呆在一块，这样他们的乐观情绪很快就会感染到你。和他们聊聊你面临的挑战；他们看问题的角度说不定能把你带到正确的方向。

Why Stretch? 为什么要伸展？
Of course, yoga does far more than keep us limber. It releases tensions from our bodies and minds, allowing us to drop more deeply into meditation. 当然，瑜伽可不仅仅意味着柔软。瑜伽放松我们的身体和大脑，帮助我们的冥想训练更加深入。
But in Western, physiological terms, "flexibility" is just the ability to move muscles and joints through their complete range. It's an ability we're born with, but that most of us lose. Our lives are restricted and sedentary, so our bodies get lazy, muscles atrophy, and our joints settle into a limited range." 但是在西方，生理学术语“柔韧性”仅指将肌肉和关节运动到生理极限的能力。这本是我们与生俱来的能力，但被我们绝大多数人慢慢丢掉了。现代的生活方式就是约束与静止，“所以我们的身体越来越懒惰，肌肉逐渐萎缩，关节也越来越僵硬。”
By the time you become an adult, your tissues have lost about 15 percent of their moisture content, becoming less supple and more prone to injury. Your muscle fibers have begun to adhere to each other, developing cellular cross-links that prevent parallel fibers from moving independently. Slowly our elastic fibers get bound up with collagenous connective tissue and become more and more unyielding. Unless we stretch, we dry up and tan! Stretching slows this process of dehydration by stimulating the production of tissue lubricants. It pulls the interwoven cellular cross-links apart and helps muscles rebuild with healthy parallel cellular structure. 当你步入成年，机体就已经丧失了15%的水分，并开始变得日趋僵硬和易于受伤。肌肉纤维开始互相粘连，肌肉细胞相互交联在一起，使得相邻肌肉不能相互独立运动。除非我们主动地去伸展自己的身体，否则只有等着变黄变干变枯！伸展练习通过刺激机体产生更多润滑液来放缓衰老的过程，它将相互交联的肌肉细胞逐渐分开，帮助肌纤维重现健康的平行结构。
Many of the benefits derived from stretching—joint lubrication, improved healing, better circulation, and enhanced mobility—are related to the healthy stimulation of fascia. Of all the structural components of your body which limit your flexibility, it is the only one that you can stretch safely. 伸展带来的好处 - 有益关节润滑、增强愈合力、促进循环系统和灵活性 - 这些都与筋膜受到的良性刺激有关。在所有对身体柔韧性有制衡的结构部件中，筋膜是唯一可以放心去拉伸的。
Stretches should be held 90 to 120 seconds to change the "ground substance" of connective tissue. Ground substance is the nonfibrous, gel-like binding agent in which fibrous connective tissues like collagen and elastin are embedded. Ground substance stabilizes and lubricates connective tissue. And it is commonly believed that restrictions in this substance can limit flexibility, especially as we age. 拉伸需要保持 90-120秒才能作用到结缔组织的基质层面。结缔组织基质是非纤维的凝胶状物质，他们包裹着像胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白这样的纤维结缔组织。基质为结缔组织提供稳定和润滑。而来自基质层面的限制会影响到柔韧性，特别是我们年老以后。

Are you facing that career change plunge? Do you wish you were? Take it slowly and make sure what you really want to do is change careers. Then use this 10-step plan, and you will be on much more sure footing -- and on a path toward career change success. 你在面对职业转变这道坎吗？还是你有这个心，但是还没有开始？慢慢来，直到你确信自己需要转变，就着手开始行动吧。用下面的这10个步骤，你会在职业转变的道路上走得更稳当。
Finally, remember that career change is a natural life progression; 一定记住，职业转变是人生中非常自然而普遍的过程。
Most studies show that the average job-seeker will change careers (not jobs) several times over the course of his or her lifetime. 事实证明：谁这辈子没换过几次工作呢？
Step 1: Assessment of Likes and Dislikes. A lot of people change careers because they dislike their job, their boss, their company. So, identifying the dislikes is often the easier part of this step; however, you will not know what direction to change your career unless you examine your likes. 第一步：评估你的喜好以及排斥的东西。很有人有各种原因不喜欢自己的工作。说自己不喜欢什么总是比说自己喜欢什么更简单。但是，如果你不明确自己喜欢什么，就不会明确自己到底应该往哪个方向转变。
Step 2: Researching New Careers. Once you've discovered (or rediscovered) your passion, spend some time researching the types of careers that center around your passions. Don't worry if you're feeling a bit unsure or insecure -- it's a natural part of the career change process. How much research you do also partly depends on how much of a change you're making; for example, changing from a teacher to a corporate trainer versus switching from a nurse to a Web designer. 第二步： 寻找新的职业。当你找到自己感兴趣的方向之后，花点时间找点关于这个领域的资料。不要害怕此时的不安全感，这是这个阶段再正常不过的事情。你要找的资料的多少取决于你的改变有多大。怎么看这个大小的不同呢？比如，一个老师想转变成企业培训师，而有一个护士想变成网页设计。转变的大小，比较一下就知道之前要做哪些相应的准备了。
Step 3: Transferable Skills. Leverage some of your current skills and experiences to your new career. There are many skills (such as communications, leadership, planning, and others) that are transferable and applicable to what you want to do in your new career. You may be surprised to see that you already have a solid amount of experience for your new career. 第三步：可转化的技能。运用你现在的技能和经验去获取新的技能。有很多技能是有转化性的，比如沟通能力，领导能力，计划能力等等。也许你会很惊讶地发现，原来自己已经拥有了这么多的新岗位上所要求的技能。
Step 4: Training and Education. You may find it necessary to update your skills and broaden your knowledge. Take it slowly. And start slowly. Take a course or two to ensure you really like the subject matter. 第四步：培训与教育。也许你发现要增长一些技能，扩展一些知识。不要急，慢慢来。上一到两门课，让你看起来在新的工作岗位上更像个行家。
Step 5: Networking. One of the real keys to successfully changing careers will be your networking abilities. People in your network may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to others so that you can expand your network. 第五步：人脉。要想成功地转化你的职业，人脉也是很重要的一个因素。让你圈子里面的人给你一些指引，给你一些建议和信息，特别有关你不熟悉的领域的，或者将你进行推荐。
Step 6: Gaining Experience. Remember that, in a sense, you are starting your career again from square one. Obtaining a part-time job or volunteering in your new career field not only can solidify your decision, but give you much needed experience in your new career. You might also want to consider temping in your new field. Work weekends, nights, whatever it takes to gain the experience. 第六步：积攒经验。从某种程度上来说，你是要想从零开始，所以做一些兼职的工作或者志愿者的工作，可以让你更加明确你是否想确定要进行职业改变，给你更多关于新领域职业的必要经验。也许你会考虑一份短期工作，或者周末兼职，夜班兼职等等，只要能为你积攒经验，你都可以考虑。
Step 7: Find a Mentor. Changing careers is a major life decision that can get overwhelming at times. Find a mentor who can help you through the rough patches. Your mentor may also be able to help you by taking advantage of his or her network. 第七步：找一个“导师”。改变职业是在某一个时间段是一件有些让人心神不定的事情。找一个“导师”，可以在你艰难的时候帮助你。你的导师运用自己某些方面的优势，帮助你更顺利地渡过难关。
Step 8: Changing In or Out. Some people change careers, but never change employers. It's more than likely that you will need to switch employers to change fields. 第八步：改变不了外部，就改变内部。很多人会选择换工作，几乎没有人会选择换老板。其实换老板比换领域更简单，是不是？
Step 9: Job-Hunting Basics. If it's been a while since you've had to use your job-hunting tools and skills, now is the time for a refresher course. Consider spending some time with one or more of our tutorials. 第九步：找工作的基本知识。找工作需要一些知识和技巧，你是有备而来吗？
Step 10: Be Flexible. You'll need to be flexible about nearly everything - from your employment status to relocation and salary. Set positive goals for yourself, but expect setbacks and change - and don't let these things get you down. Besides totally new careers, you might also consider a lateral move that could serve as a springboard for a bigger career change. You might also consider starting your own business. 第十步：给自己留一些弹性空间。给自己设立有弹性的目标，对挫折和改变做好心理预期，同时也不让它们打击到你。如果没有找到全新的领域的职业，你也可以考虑晚点再行动或者先找个临时的落脚之地等待下次的起跳。也许你也可以考虑下自己创业也说不准呢。

When it comes to doing business in China, “respect for people’s feelings is paramount — this sensitivity that needs to be taken in respect to people’s ‘face,’ ” Someone has said. 在中国做生意，“尊重和体察他人的感情最为重要，这种你需要留意的称之为面子的东西，是中国人相当敏感的问题”，有人曾这么说。
“Face — a cliché, but it’s so true — is the currency of advancement,” he said. “It’s like a social bank account. You spend it and you save it and you invest. And when you take away somebody’s face you take away someone’s fundamental sense of security.”
Christine Lu, chief executive of a luxury venture group, said, “If you understand that dealing with people in China is all about face — giving face, getting face, saving face and not letting that person lose face — then you’re all covered.”
