When 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.
Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.
To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.
After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".
Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.
For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”

How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to
If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing.____16____Receiving feedback from peers (同辈) can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this?
First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait
until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them.___17___
When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job.____18____Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting” than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future.____19____Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.
___20___If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it? Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.
Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don’t take it personally — it can only help you give better advice next time!
A. Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it’s likely to be ignored.
B. We also need to know what other people think about our performance.
C.This can help you be successful in your role and clear the way for promotions.
D. To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person.
E. You can’t change what’s happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.
F. Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative.
G. While positive feedback is certainly necessary, it is also important to let others know their mistakes.

Then my following life wasn't poetic anymore! I___29___pouring my emotions in journals or diaries. Many
years passed! Was poetry my passion? Probably! One day two years earlier, one of my childhood friends wrote to me, “Hi there! How many books have you____30____ever since?”

What do monkeys feed? Bananas, right? However, bananas aren't actual part of their natural diet. In the wild, monkeys usually eat flowers, leaf and insects. They also eat fruits, and which don't include bananas. One zoo in England take note of that. The zoo stopped feeding it’s monkeys bananas, so the animal experts there believe that bananas are bad for their health. The animal experts explain that bananas don't have many protein or fiber.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. On turning a cornner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No” said Henry. “Let us go home quietly and not meddle with (管闲事) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down on Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behaviour, because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that they ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.
