Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position．The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your ; your words are lost in the howling wind．

On a afternoon, everything changed．Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal（密封） a windows shut．Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats．In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees．

This woman was ．

“I’ll get the next car’s as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay．She stood outside, much snow on her hair．Though she was obviously freezing, her bright lit up her face like a fire．

“You can’t their drinks,” I said, confused and tired．

“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said．“Pay it forward and all that．”

Completely puzzled, I charged her as , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened．I watched as his changed—first angry to be out in the cold, then at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his ．

“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver him．He over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink．

The trend continued．Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave and pleased．Some were shocked but happy to spend more than they had expected, others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price．

Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty．No one refused to pay．Customers stood at my window a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger．Cars drove off, honking（鳴笛） and their thanks．

It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire of traffic．It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days．

railway station. It was quite different from the regular Eng?lish classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.

Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to col?lect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited? we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chi?nese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

A lack of self-respect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships. Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself.

1.__________ The qualities that we respect vary from person to person, and the way we express it varies from culture to culture. Generally, we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished than ourselves. But there is also a basic level of respect that most people will agree is a right, and does not need to be earned. So think about what it means to respect others. Here are some widely agreed-upon signals of respect: You don’t steal from, harm, or insult them; you are honest with them; you listen to what they say, consider their opinions, and avoid interrupting them.

2.__________ We often do things for ourselves that we would never dream of doing for someone we care about. Whatever you believe to be respectful, apply it to yourself. Don’t harm yourself. Don’t insult yourself. Don’t steal from yourself. Be honest with yourself. Develop your own opinions and don’t be afraid to stand by them.

3.__________ A person with self-respect doesn’t allow others to treat them badly, and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful. This might seem obvious, but there are many times when we accept being treated badly. When someone doesn’t give you basic respect, you need to be able to say, in one way or another, “You just disrespected me and that’s not acceptable!

If you don’t respect me, I won’t spend time with you any more.” Can you say that, and mean it?

Can you turn your back on someone who’s clearly shown that they don’t respect you? Once you do, you’ll feel your sense of self-respect go up.

4.__________ When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order, you’ll not only feel better physically, but also feel a sense of pride. Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is, naturally. Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy. Focus on the things you can change and improve, and do them because it feels good.

5.__________ The more you know about yourself, the more you’ll see and appreciate how unique you really are. And you’ll respect yourself more. Discover your principles, personality, and talents. Stop waiting for other people’s approval and start developing your own standards. Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener.

A. Get to know yourself.

B. Take care of your body.

C. Practice basic respect towards yourself.

D. Be honest with yourself and with others.

E. Think about what it means to respect someone.

F. Recognize when people disrespect you and take steps to stop it.

[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes．The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours．Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk．

[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?

[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial．Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity．

[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly．To start with, every time you doze off （打瞌睡） during the day does not count as a “power nap”．The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease．

[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes．Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep．If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak．

[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice．The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms．The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine．

[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep．A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work．An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight．
