Drug problems
If you're worried about your own or someone else's drug taking or misuse, it's good to know the facts.
Why take drugs?
Drug users don't start using drugs with the intention of becoming addicted. But many drugs contain addictive substances(物质) and even people who use them occasionally can become dependent and need to use them regularly.
Reasons why people start using drugs can include: to escape problems they may be having in other parts of their life, peer pressure and fitting in with another group of people, being curious about the effects of drugs.
If you start to use drugs on a regular basis, or if you become dependent on them, it can affect your family and friends as well as having a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.
Drug overdoses can be fatal. You can die instantly from misusing substances and drugs that you can buy over the counters.
Signs of drug abuse and misuse
There is not a common list of symptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs. That's because drug use affects different people in different ways, depending on the type of drugs they're using.
Although anxiety, tiredness and a change in sleeping habits can be signs of drug use, they can also be caused by changes in your body, stress or other problems.
_____________________
Drugs are categorised into three classes based on their overall level of harm. Class A drugs are the most dangerous, however, all the drugs in all three classes are harmful and addictive.
Remember that all drugs are illegal, even Class C drugs like cannabis(大麻烟). If you're caught selling them to other people, or carrying a small amount in your pocket, it's likely that the police will get involved.
If you're found guilty of any of these offences, you may face a fine or time in custody(拘留), with Class A drugs carrying the most severe sentences.
Worried about a friend?
If you think that one of your friends or relatives is misusing drugs, you may want to approach them and talk about it. It's not your responsibility to make them stop, but you can tell them about how their behaviour is affecting your relationship.
If they ask for help with their problem, then it's important to listen and help them find the right information and treatment.
National Drugs Helpline
If you're worried about drug abuse and addiction you can call the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776 600 for confidential advice—lines are open seven days a week. Calls are free and they won't show up on your phone bill, but you may be charged if you use a mobile.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.

How do learning habits influence learning results?It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits.There is a famous saying "Good habits lead to good endings", shows the importance of habits.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." also (show) a healthy habit everyday helps to build up our body. Thus,good learning habits can help us gain great learning results,high scores and abundant knowledge (include).At first,learning habits form our ways of thinking and (attitude) to the content of our learning. (obvious),a good habit can help us to speed up to reach our destinations.As we can see,developing a good habit is so important that In would like to introduce one kind of good learning habits—keeping learning diary every day. We can start the habit by (write) a learning summary and remember to record something impressive and meaningful. Keep it in mind gradually we can gain this good learning habit and benefit from it.
What's (much),I find out that I still have some bad learning habits well. I can only concentrate on reading for a short time,and I will conquer this problem by spending more efforts on concentration practice.
I believe that through my efforts,I can gain good learning results by having good habits.

Primary schools could be told to remove some traditional subject-based lessons and replace them with “personal development” classes to encourage children to improve their social and practical skill. Parents, teachers and pupils, who took part in the investigation carried out for the biggest ever official review of the primary curriculum, argued that the number of subjects taught to very young people should be reduced.
The review, being conducted by the government's school's director Sir Jim Rose, will consider how to redesign the primary school day to handle concerns that too many pupils leave primary school unable to read, write and do maths at the level expected of them. It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning.
The 60 focus groups brought together 1,500 parents, pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose review, which the government is promising to back. Instead of a broad range of subjects, pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal, learning and thinking skills, they say. Such lessons might include “healthy lifestyles, sex and relationships education, drugs and alcohol education”.
“Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics.” John Bangs, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said, “The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system. That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet children's unique needs.”
However, the shadow schools minister, Nick Gibb, said, “If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects, it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.” “Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they don't have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school. Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest.” Nick added. A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) said, “This is a summary of stake holder's view, not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF, and has been submitted to Sir Jim Rose's review as evidence to consider.”
“块块荒田水和泥，深翻细作走东西。老牛亦解韶光贵，不待扬鞭自奋蹄。”臧克家这首著名的诗形象而又深刻地道明了老黄牛精神的内涵。平凡的岗位、普通的身份，默默耕耘，任劳任怨、奋斗至生命最后阶段，这就是“老黄牛”侧影。但也有人认为“老黄牛精神”在当今社会已经不合时宜，如老实吃亏、默默无闻、效率低、活得太累，甚至成了“庸碌”的代名词。

中国城市经过了20年迅猛的、粗放式的发展，确实到了要解决垃圾问题的时候。所有人都反感垃圾，但是大多数人对“垃圾分类”能否推行，仍有犹豫。2018年7月公布的“2017年度北京市民公共行为文明指数”，“垃圾分类”处理这一栏非常刺眼，它比上一年下跌了 9.4%。
意味深长的是，就在2017年，北京刚刚开启了新一轮“干湿分离”的垃圾分类推进工作，五花八门的试点措施在各条胡同和街道里轮番上演。这个调查表明，如果方法不当，“垃圾分类”反而会带来更严重的垃圾问题。
说到底，垃圾分类并不仅仅是居民的事，它是一个系统性工程，也是一个“产业链”。垃圾分类之后，还要进行运输和专门的处理。《人行道王国》一书写那些纽约第六大道上摆摊的人，他们所卖的杂志大部分是从垃圾桶里捡来的，他们能够轻而易举从垃圾桶找出来，这也得益于有效的垃圾分类。
最终，在社会层面，垃圾分类需要一个成熟的分工和处理体系；而在人的层面，则需要一种新的生活方式。我们可以称之为“成熟社会”，一个国家在经济到了一定阶段之后，必然要面临这个问题。

西城区新街口街道大乘巷教师家属院位于赵登禹路西侧，小院不大，仅有两栋楼房，住着400多户居民。 可是在西城区，乃至全北京市，这个深藏在核心区里的小院名声在外。“这里是北京最早的垃圾分类试点院落，大伙都把这叫作‘北京垃圾分类第一院’。”说起“垃圾分类第一院”的名头，大乘巷老住户，同时也是垃圾分类带头人的崔湘文告诉记者:
从最初的居民垃圾分类参与率仅为15%，到如今居民垃圾分类参与率超85%，崔湘文和小院里的400多户居民坚持了23年。截至目前，在“垃圾分类第一院”的带动下，西城区已先后创建了383个垃圾分类达标小区，占到了小区总数的80%以上。与此同时，区市政市容委还在15个街道组建了一支由2000余人组成的、覆盖全区的垃圾分类指导员队伍，开展常态化的垃圾分类宣传。

在奥地利，几乎所有的街区和公共场所，例如火车站或飞机场，都严格执行分类要求。垃圾主要分为以下六大类，每一类有专门的垃圾箱：塑料，例如空饮料罐、塑料包装等；废纸，包括报纸、杂志、产品广告宣传单、书籍以及纸质包装或纸板盒；玻璃制品，有白色玻璃、绿色玻璃和棕色玻璃之分，而且玻璃瓶在丢弃前要去除瓶盖，因为瓶盖属于其他废弃物；生物垃圾，仅回收有机的、可制成堆肥的垃圾，如剩饭菜、蔬果皮等厨余垃圾，也包括花园废弃物；其他杂类垃圾，特指既不包含有害物质，又不包含可重复利用成分的垃圾，包括吸尘袋、橡胶废料、卫生用品、皮革和人造皮革等；有害垃圾，例如废旧电池和蓄电池。
收集到的垃圾均采用机械化、密闭式的专用车辆进行运输。奥地利环卫系统可根据不同运载物的需要提供多款车型，运输车辆密闭性很好，主体外观格局为橙色，与工作人员着装颜色相统一。奥地利的垃圾填埋场对技术要求很高，设有各种防泄漏的措施，保证这些填埋的垃圾能够在填埋年限内不泄漏，从而保障地下水和土壤的洁净。同时，他们还认为未来垃圾处理技术提高后，这些垃圾或许还可以成为可利用的资源。

Plenty of people dream of traveling to other planets. But “Star Wars” fans can actually visit locations where many of the films' most famous scenes were shot. Here are some of the places where “Star Wars” comes to life.
Hotel Sidi Driss, Matmata, Tunisia
Perhaps the most famous "Star Wars" landmark in the world, this is where the interiors of Luke Skywalker's childhood home on planet Tatooine were filmed. Centuries ago, Berbers built the underground structure as a real home. Eventually it became a hotel, which George Lucas used to film the first "Star Wars" film. The set decorations came down when the crew left, but were rebuilt in 2000 for "Attack of the Clones." Since then, they've remained, so guests can eat at the table where young master Luke did.
La Grande Dune, outside Nefta, Tunisia
The igloo(冰屋) outside of Luke's house was filmed about 300 kilometers away on the dried-up salt lake of Chott El Jerid. The igloo is still there, reachable with a decent car at the GPS coordinates 33"50'34. 42"N, 7"46'44.48"E.
The surrounding hotels are man-made, to create the illusion (幻觉)that the underground house is next to it. The igloo from the 1977 movie was taken apart, but again rebuilt for "Attack of the Clones," and later restored by a fan. Nearby is La Grande Dune, site of the Dune Sea. About 30 minutes from the igloo is the set of Mos Espa, the spaceport town where Anakin was discovered as a young slave.
Redwood National and State parks, California
Endor, the forest moon home of the furry Ewoks, was filmed among California's giant redwoods. Most of the well-known scenes were shot on private land owned by a lumber company. Since the cast and crew worked on "Return of the Jedi" in 1982, heavy logging has left most of the landscape unrecognizable. But driving through the parks still gives a feel for the set, especially along the Avenue of the Giants highway.
In Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park and the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, plates were filmed for some chase scenes.
