25、horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it. On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become

26、 the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world.

DHow many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed（尴尬的） to admit how many times you do this, dont worry.

40、 they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing（追赶，追求） self-respect,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
