Many young people, when they finish school at the age of 18, take a gap year before they go to university.Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school. Although they are worried about their safety, many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries. Children are encouraged to be brave, independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. For example, if they have a rich life, they may want to see how people in poor areas live.A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives.

His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldnt freeze.

The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep (also known as REM sleep). The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night. So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up.

The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers. Your heart rate lowers, too. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep.Stage 2: Also characterized by NREM. In this stage, the body temperature and heart rate drop again. You are completely asleep.Stage 3: Still in the NREM stage, this is a deeper sleep still.Stage 4: In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back or forward. We call it REM sleep.

Well, maybe you dont really hate him. But you get really angry every time you think of him. If you dont let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we cant forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think were hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but were really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it.

The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably cant completely put the anger out of your mind.
