The Value of the American Jobs Act
To create more jobs，the President has sent Congress the American Jobs Act，which contains the kinds of proposals that Democrats and Republicans supported in the past.The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple：to put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans.
According to this speech，American people are looking forward to passing the Jobs Act which can improve the chances of working in society.It is crystal clear that the economic security of the middle class has been under attack for decades.That’s why President Obama believes that Congress needs to pass the Jobs Act to help the country recover from the economic crisis.As for students，this Jobs Act can put them back into the classroom to receive better education so as to realize their American dreams.On the other hand，the Jobs Act is expected to put people back on the job，cut taxes for every working worker and small business，and make it possible for construction workers to rebuild the basic infrastructures.As a result，it is believed to be the most innovative reform in recent years.
Hopefully，the Jobs Act may bring about more work opportunities and income to American citizens，thus making the economy of this country more prosperous.

How to Make Our Travel Green
Green travel，or eco⁃friendly travel basically means preserving the planet and its people for future generations.
As travelers，what should we do to make our travel green？
In terms of transportation，traveling produces greenhouse gases，so whenever possible，we’d better take a plane without stop or take a train.When we arrive，try to take public transportation or even better ride a bike or walk，which is the greenest way to get around.
In terms of accommodation，as travelers，we can ask the manager how the hotel plans to be green.Our feedback as guests can have an important influence on hotel attitude towards sustainability.What’s more，in the hotel，we should be strict with ourselves to be responsible travelers.For example，we should take short showers and switch the lights off on the way out；we shouldn’t ask for changing our sheets every day.
In addition，we need to support local industry while traveling.For instance，we’d better dine in local restaurants instead of global chains and shop at local farmers’market.It is beneficial for both economy and environment.
Nowadays，faced with the increasingly serious shortage of natural resources and various kinds of pollution，people in increasing numbers have the awareness to go green traveling.Nevertheless，it is far from enough only to have the awareness.What’s more important is to really take action！Next time，when you go traveling，do remember to be a real green traveler.Let’s start small to buy a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic bottle！

The Importance of Time Management in College
Procrastination is getting increasingly common among college students.How to conquer procrastination has become one of the most frequently asked questions.Apart from searching for a step⁃by⁃step strategy out of relevant studies，students are also advised to probe into themselves in order to find out what type of students they are—the ones who can plan and complete assignments way before they are due，or the ones who cannot sit down until two days before deadlines.You cannot really tackle procrastination unless you know the real you and thus，you can figure out the best study methods and have control over your college life.
Clock ticks.It’s almost 2 a.m.but you still have tons of assignments piling up.What’s worse，deadlines are approaching and you are cracking up.This is the real picture of a certain number of students’college life.This lifestyle，like a swamp，traps them till their graduation，the moment when they realize they have let four years slip away from their fingers.Then they come to realize that time management is of great significance.
Effective time management can contribute to the high quality work.In order to manage time well，you need to organize，prioritize and schedule your day.Thus，you will decide on a to⁃do list with assignments for a day and plan enough time devoted to each.The sufficient time allotted to each assignment，to a remarkable extent，improves the quality of your work.
Healthy lifestyle is another benefit brought by effective time management.When you are self⁃disciplined enough to follow your schedule，you are not procrastinating.In this case，you tend to finish your assignments way before the deadlines and don’t need to frequently stay up late at night.Consequently，you are more likely to enjoy adequate sleep，which is critical to your health.Thanks to this virtuous cycle，you can inject more energy into more extracurricular activities leading to a colorful college life.
It is vital to realize the significance of time manage as a freshman.Otherwise，you may be consumed by procrastination.Not only could proper time management result in high quality work and healthier lifestyle，it is also a habit that would benefit your whole life.

Showing Politeness and Hospitality
Both the cold and the warm person desire to be polite and friendly to others.However，the former makes the guest feel detached and dissatisfied，whereas the latter never fails to create a physically pleasant and emotionally comforting atmosphere for those he or she entertains.This discrepancy arises from their different interpretations of the human nature.The coldly polite person assumes that those they are attempting to please are people with only the highest needs，while the warmly polite person is deeply aware that human beings are all essentially similar creatures，fragile，potentially awkward，and looking forward to being treated with warmth and kindness.
Showing politeness and hospitality to our fellow beings is an age⁃old virtue.Remember to be always thoughtful and caring in our interactions with others.After all，what goes around comes around.

Should You Lend Family Money？
It’s difficult to give a simple yes⁃no answer to whether we should lend family money.However，there are certain guidelines we need to follow to mute some of the resentment or problems that can occur by documentation.For instance，the terms may cover names，date，the amount，interest rates，a payment plan and so on.Sometimes we have to say“no”even it would cause tremendous stress and hurt.
Borrowing from family can make approval easier and costs low，but money can ruin relationships.So，if you decide to take money from members of your family，you should go to them in the most professional way possible，making sure you have a written contract.You need to let them get a sense that you are serious and credible.If you are unable to pay on the agreed dates，you need to call or visit the person who has loaned you the money and explain why you cannot pay.You may renegotiate the terms，and this will reassure the lender that you are treating the loan seriously.Try not to let money issues destroy your family relationships.

Family Relationships
Along with the development of the society，more and more problems are brought to our attention，one of which is that families are not as close as before.To my mind，this is one of the side⁃effects brought about by the modern world.
There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon.The first reason is that people spend more time on their study and work.Compared with the past，people face fierce competition and suffer from great pressure.Therefore，they have to devote more time and energy to their careers.Some people are too occupied to spare time for their family.As time passes，these people become emotionally estranged from their parents.Another reason is that there are more entertainment forms available.Nowadays high technology brings people more interesting things which can easily attract their attention，such as TV，the Internet or video games.As a result，people are indulged in these activities，totally neglecting the feelings of other family members.
To bring families closer，various suggestions are put forward.Firstly，never bring your work home.We should spend more time with our family members no matter how occupied we are.Secondly，try to squeeze some time for a regular family dinner because dinner time is a perfect opportunity for family members to exchange their feelings and ideas.Last but not least，we should teach the children the importance of family when they are still young.
Family is the basic unit of a society.It plays a significant role in our lives.In order to enjoy a harmonious family life and maintain a stable society，we should make efforts to build a close family relationship.

Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Modern World
There are two books，the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon and the Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders and Miscellaneous Illnesses written in ancient China，which are very important for understanding traditional Chinese medicine，based around some key philosophies，among which are the following three，yin and yang，wu xing，and qi.
Nowadays with the development of economy，people work and live under greater pressure than their ancestors while enjoying more colorful lives，which leads to various diseases.Of course the progress in western medicine and treatment equipment could make it easier for the patients to be cured of the diseases，but it is for sure wiser for the to⁃be⁃patient to be taken care of before a disease comes into being.Traditional Chinese medicine has been justified in doing so，under the name of preventive treatment of various disease.Besides，it is widely believed that traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in eliminating the root of a disease than western medicine.Therefore，traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can be combined to keep people healthy.
