　　Food，football and fashion—Milan has it a11.The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan.And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo，the theme of which is food and nutrition.

　　Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy.Rome is the most famous city in Italian history，Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers.Yet Milan can often be left off tourists’lists.But although some see Milan as the“ugly sister”of these cities，according to Lonely Planet，in 2015 the city is“suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.

　　The Milan Expo will look at the future of food，trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future.According to Lonely Planet website.“144 countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan，forming a mini city-within-a-city”.

　　Milan’s famous opera house，La Scala，normally closed in the summer，will also host daily performances during the expo，reported Fox News.

　　Not interested in opera?Don’t worry.Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium，home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan.Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years，both in Serie A and the European Champions League.

　　So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem“soulless”，as Lonely Planet said.it still has“a serious sense of history and place”.Many people will be discovering it this year，and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems.Will you?

　　Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

　　Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場)in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

　　There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.

　　Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be“green gyms”.They RYe better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it’s free.

　　Things You Should Insist on No Matter What People Say

　　Life can get pretty crazy at times. 36 Happiness is dependent upon ourselves，and there are some things in life you should always insist on doing，no matter what others have to say about it.Here is a list of some things you should always do.

　　1.Learn from your mistakes

　　No matter what people say，you will make mistakes in your life.Life is a learning process in itself.Some people will make you feel bad about your mistakes，or insult you for making them. 37 Accept your mistakes fully and really figure out what went wrong.

　　2.Embrace change and creativity

　　A popular proverb is，“You cannot solve a problem in the same state of consciences that created it.” 38 Change and creativity are vital in today’s world.Things are always changing，so why should we be any different?

　　3.Appreciate what you have

　　39 This can take away from our happiness.Sometimes you just need to sit back and be happy about where your life is right now，and what you have to show for it. Sure people might tell you it’s not good enough，but don’t listen to them.It is good enough，and it gives you a sense of pride when you can enjoy the things you already have in life.

　　4.Listen to your heart

　　Sometimes you just need to follow your instincts and do what your heart tells you. There are some situations，like relationships，that rely more on your heart than on your head.People will surely tell you differently，but you should always insist on listening to what you want and feel. Again，you are the one who lives with your choices，and you are the one that has to live with the“what ifs.” 40

　　Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine.Her name was Mrs. White.And I 41 thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White， 42 she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin.

　　I don't remember much about what we 43 in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to 44 a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many 45 .But no red corrections.And always a star.Sometimes 46 a Good!But it 47 my mother，so one day when she met Mrs.White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never 48 my mistakes.Why she never red-pencilled in the right 49 of words or pointed out grammatical errors.

　　And Mrs.White said“The children are just beginning to get 50 about using words，about forming sentences.I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with 51 ink.Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words 52 …”I grew up learning to use words with loving 53 like that.

　　I 54 now and think she must have been a rather 55 teacher—to exercise such red-pen restraint(克制)，to 56 the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower— however faultily—like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom.

　　I used to 57 beautiful a lot.Never could quite remember that the e went 58 the a.Eventually the e and a settled into their right places.I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Prettv is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you 59 sometimes.

　　And thanks to Mrs.White I felt no 60 about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out.Because Life isn’t Pretty.It’s Beautiful.
