I have two friends who love backpacking. They spent a lot of time in a part of New York State's Adirondack Mountains. It 　　 46 mountains with a height of over 4,000 feet. The Adirondack Mountain Club gives 　　 recognition, and an award, to anyone who 　 　　 　 all 46 mountains. My two friends decided to go for this award.

Now what you have to understand is that 　 　　 　 many of the 46 mountains have well-marked 　　 　 to their summits (山顶), others are not marked at all. You have to "bushwhack (在丛林中开路)" using a compass and a map.

My friends had climbed 45 of the mountains. They had just one 　　 　 — it was the most 　　 requiring bushwhacking. A hiking path led past the base of the mountain, but from that point they were on their own.

Early one morning they left their 　 　　 and walked five miles on the hiking path to the base of a chain of mountains. When they arrived, they 　　 　 that they had left their compass and map back in camp. Rather than 　　 the camp, they decided to bushwhack without the compass and map.

For hours they 　　 uphill enduring heat, thick bush, and black flies. 　 　　 　 , late in the afternoon they found themselves at the 　　 of a mountain successfully. They were exhausted but 　　 　 .

The feeling was short-lived, however. When they looked across the valley, they 　 　　 another higher mountain. They had climbed the 　　 one! It was too 　 　　 　 that weekend to put their error right. They had to 　　 　 another four months to climb the right mountain.

This story 　　 　 us a good lesson. Often in life we put in a great effort to reach a goal. But without the right "map" and "compass", it is 　　 　 to get "lost".

Small talk, also called chitchat, is short conversations people have with others, while they wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn’t do anything, so they think little of it.1..

When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic.2.Let’s say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they only want to talk about their cats. Then you can talk about animals together first, which may lead the conversation to the way you want.

3.Chatting with a colleague about his child may help you to understand more of his life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.

4.Most people said they do not talk to strangers while travelling on a subway. Researchers at the University of Chicago then asked some participants in a study to talk to people while communicating to work on a train.

It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened，what did you do? Next time this happens again，what should you do?

You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意识的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim（模糊的）memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.

That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.

You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.

People who love to spend time in their kitchen know that after having a rough day it helps them to relieve stress. Cooking up a favorite meal helps you forget about any of the issues you were focused on during the day. 1. Spending time alone in the kitchen after a long day at work allows you to simply recharge and enjoy the solitude of your kitchen.

Cooking can be a great way to put off a daily task, and those who love to cook know this all too well. Putting all your effort into making an elaborate meal or your favorite dessert is a great way to avoid anything that you have been dreading.

2. Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that when you share a common interest like cooking with someone from a different culture, you can easily form a bond. They see this as an amazing opportunity to share recipes and dishes and learn from different cooking traditions and customs.

Eating out as a cook allows you to taste surprising ingredients in dishes. 3. Unusual flavors excite you and unique interpretations of dishes have you asking the waiter exactly what was added to make the food so flavorful. This might not excite your non-cook friends and family, but for you, it’s a great way to learn and improve. 4.

5. As a cook, you have learned to add your own personal tastes to recipes through extensive trial and error. There are no limits for you when it comes to putting a new take on a traditional favorite, because, for you, cooking is all about creation.
