She said her name was Miss Bai she and kindly offered to show me 7. the city. I was delighted and was about to accept her proposal __8.__she suggested we first 9. (go)to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge. I quite liked the idea of visiting the West Lake but wasn't so sure about crossing the Broken Bridge . 10. it was broken, did she expect me to jump across?

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.
You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows
that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. 1. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is "loss of self". According to the study, even though boys would say "lose themselves in a romantic relationship", this "loss of self" is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. 2. They won't tell that to their parents.
Dr. Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression.
She advises ki
ds not to jump
into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. 3.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes. 4. . The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young. 5. .
A. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.
B. However, only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
C. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症)
D. Parents should forbid their children’s puppy love.
E. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
F. If they see signs from their daughter or son, they need to give help.
G. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
