12、even more.”The price of the hot cocoa is $1 a cup,$2 with marshmallows(棉花糖).You can watch the video above to learn how much money Tristan raised. Tristans dad,Steve,said he was proud of his son,who came up with the idea all on his own.“You know what?Hes a warm-hearted little boy and its just awesome

Maybe Im the rude one for not app
17、reciating lifes little politeness.But many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication. In texts,you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello.Email,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect. My father learne
18、d this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mails?”my sister asked.“Just text him.” In the age of the smartphone,there is no

24、 in communication? D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message? C Studies have shown a direct link between goals and improved performance in both sports and business.Earl Nightingale put it this way,“People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.Its as simple as that.” Dr Maxwell M
25、altz,author of the classic Psycho-Cybernetics,said that human beings have a built-in goal seeking “success mechanism(机制)” that is part of the subconscious(潜意识的) mind.This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our problems.According to Mal
