Good morning, everyone! I'm Judy, the new manager of the Clark Sports Center. Our sports center was due to open on May 5th, but we had a problem with the. So it will actually open on May 12th. I do hope as many people as will come and join our party on the same day. The party starts at 10 o'clock.

We offer a variety of sports here. You can pay for membership for a week, a month or a year. For a year's membership it costs ￡450, monthly membership is￡ and if you pay weekly, it will cost you ￡10. So you save money by paying for a whole year. You need to wear training shoes and suitable clothes, but you don't need to bring a towel. That saves carrying a huge bag around with you. We are very lucky to have Sonia Smith us, who is going to give dance classes daily at 5:30. We will also have Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates. You'd better check on our website to get more information about these classes. So that's all I have to say for the moment.

Popular Self-Help Books

Want to be happier, healthier and more successful? Here are four popular self-help books to get you going.

How to Win Friends & Influence People —by Dale Carnegie

This is the book that started the self-help genre(类型). Carnegie says financial success is 15% professional knowledge and 85% "the ability to express ideas and inspire people". Here are a couple of his top tips: Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers; talk about your own mistakes before blaming the other person.

Who Moved My Cheese?—by Spencer Johnson

This book is about how to adapt to (适应) change in your life. It's a story about two mice and two "little people" (who represent humans). They all live in a maze (迷宫) and spend their days eating cheese. But one day they discover that their regular supply of cheese has disappeared. The mice immediately start searching the maze for more cheese but the two "little people" get angry. Finally, one of the "little people" accepts the situation and decides to look for a new cheese supply.

The Millionaire Next Door—by Thomas Stanley & William Danko

The authors of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the secrets of their success. And they discovered that most millionaires don't live a life of luxury(奢侈). They're rich because they live below their means and reinvest(重新投资) what they earn.

59 Seconds — by Richard Wiseman

This is a self-help book with a difference. Wiseman, a scientist, says 59 Seconds is about the "science of self-help". And he uses science to show many self-help ideas are false. Other tips in the book are: If you want to eat more healthily, hang a mirror in your kitchen. This can reduce unhealthy eating by 35%. If you want to be more creative, put a plant on your desk. Studies show that you'll come up with 15% more original ideas.

Early in the morning, LaPierre boarded Boston's Blue Line "L" to head to the Chicago to Marathon. The train was full of excited marathoners. He took a seat next to a fellow runner and began chatting. Before long, La Pierre noticed a man who seemed to be homeless moving from passenger to passenger, asking for spare change. That struck LaPierre as "really uncommon," especially the way he stared down anyone he felt hadn't given him enough.

At the Cumberland station, several stops before the one for the marathon, most of the passengers suddenly escaped from the car. LaPierre, surprised, rushed out to see what was going on, only to hear frightened people shouting that the man asking for money was, in fact, armed and robbing (抢劫) people.

Just then, the armed man himself exited the train car and went to the next one. LaPierre followed him. "I could not walk away knowing there were children and people just trying to get to a race," he says. The man was standing in the middle of the car when he turned and saw LaPierre, his head down, bull-rushing him. The two men fought for the gun — and their lives.

"You don't move!" LaPierre shouted, pressing the armed man against a door. The man tried pushing him, but LaPierre pushed him back against the door, grabbing (夺取) the gun and handing it to a passenger, who quickly walked off the train with it. But LaPierre wasn't in the clear. The man had partners who now surrounded LaPierre and began to threaten him. Then the police entered the car, and LaPierre let them take over.

This was not the first time LaPierre had jumped to the rescue. In 2015, he helped rescue a one-year-old and his mother from a car accident. Last summer, he volunteered to search for a snake that went missing from a backyard cage in Newton. And a few years back, he helped stop a CVS drugstore robbery. "I just happen to be at the right place at the right moment," he says.

Going cashless or not

After saving up your allowance, you finally have enough money to buy that toy, game, or piece of clothing you've been dreaming of. You go to the store and find the item. But when you get the register to pay, you see a sign: "Hello! We've gone cashless."

Situations like this may become common if more stores and restaurants stop accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit or debit card, or by smartphone app. Many business owners believe that getting rid of cash has helped them streamline(使效率更高) the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the register to make change or about delivering bills and coins to the bank.

But a growing number of people think that cashless stores are unfair. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card. "A cash-less economy is not an inclusive(范围广泛的) economy," Tazra Mitchell told National Public Radio. She's a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. In her opinion, cashless stores are "essentially discriminating (歧视) against people". Plus, people who do have debit and credit cards might prefer paying with cash. "Cash is still very popular with consumers," Nick Bourke said. He's a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project. "It's used by almost eight in ten adults in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type."

Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities, including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have already passed laws to address the issue. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed in May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. He works for the city. "It's really about fairness," Remski said. "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things."

My sister and I spent our childhoods in a small town. Mom worked hard at her job from morning till evening — but not before sending us off to school early with our not-so-heavy bags and our lunch boxes with simple, wholesome meals. Even though we went through tough times, providing my sister and I with the best possible education remained a big priority for our mother. Education before everything else was her belief, even though it meant most of her hard-earned money was spent paying our school fees. We were always careful and economical, but somehow we never felt a sense of deprivation (贫困) in our lives.

Life for us moved at this easy, contented pace until, of course, our birthdays approached. Honestly, I did not look forward to the gifts as much as I did sharing Moms handmade chocolates, wrapped (被包裹) in shiny, colorful paper, with my classmates. Fifteen minutes before lunch, our teacher would allow us todistributethe candy. And out came the box from its hiding place under my books-and with a smile on my face and a happy heart, I would hand over two chocolates each to my friends. Then, I would rush out of the room just to enjoy the pleasure of hearing them open up the wrappers and the mouth-watering chocolates in pure delight. They would then ask me if there were a few more until I ran out of these treats entirely. Year after year, I followed the same ritual (仪式) — and it pleased me to no end each time I heard my friends say that these chocolates were unlike any they had ever tasted.

The years passed by, and as our kids grew up, they too gifted chocolates to their friends at school on their birthdays. However, none of the chocolates I offered to my child could match what Mom always had for us. Until the year Mom visited us on my child's birthday and brought along her famous chocolates. After so many years, I finally realized the secret of the chocolate's evergreen taste: sugar and peanuts cooked to perfection and filled with motherly affection and love in wrappers saved over months. Indeed, the best birthday treat I had ever tasted!

Are you trying to find the best time for exercise? Follow these tips to figure out what fitness routine works best for you.

Dawn, dusk or dead of night — when's the best time to work out? Well, that depends on when's the best time for you, because the benefits of physical activity depend upon how consistent you are. But if you're not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out. The key is to do what's most likely to work for you consistently.

If you find that working out too late in the evening keeps you from falling asleep easily, shift your exercise session earlier in the day or try less intense, more mindful forms of movement.

To stay motivated, choose activities you enjoy. If you're a social person, do something that engages you socially. Take a group exercise class, join a recreational team or walk with a group of friends. If you prefer having time alone, walking, swimming or biking solo might be a better fit for you.

There are so many choices. Having a variety of fitness activities to choose from may keep you from getting bored or burnt out.

A. The truth is, it's personal!

B. Don't limit yourself to just one.

C. There are other important considerations.
