John is a hardworking woodcutter. He worked for a company for five years, but has not been promoted. His new colleague Bill was enhanced though he moved into the company just one year. This caused John’s strong dissatisfaction, so he went to ask the boss for a reason.The boss said: “The amount you are logging now is as much as five years ago.

turmoilThe beauty is destroyed by Luo Yufeng; charity is destroyed by the Red Cross Society of China; miracle is destroyed by the Ministry of Railways; taste is destroyed by Guo Meimei; the people's livelihood is destroyed by urban-management officers; truth is destroyed by CCTV; social morality is destroyed by court and that old woman; reunion is destroyed by bullet train; just a little bit of money remained is also destroyed by CPI.

I have a dream,I can live in News Broadcast forever,where every child can afford to go to school,the poor can afford medical,people live in the low-cost house ¥77 a month,workers wage ggrows11% a year,the employment rate of college students can reach 99%.

I have a dream, I can live in News Broadcast forever,where the price of goods doesn't go up,traffic doesn't jam,environment is improved, corrupt officials can be punished.

I have a dream if one day I'am old when no one can rely on, people can bury me in the News Broadcast.

Ten reasons we should smile

1. smiling makes us attractive

We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away —— but a smile draws them in.


2. smiling changes our mood

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

3. smiling is contagious

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. smiling relieves stress

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.

5. smiling boosts your immune system

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. smiling lowers your blood pressure

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

7. smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers and serotonin

Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

8. smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day —— you'll look younger and feel better.

9. smiling makes you seem successful

Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.

10. smiling helps you stay positive

Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.
