12.Have you ever heard that "Success is a journey,not a destination (終點)"?As a man aged 30,I believe it's true.In fact it's my law (法則) of life.In my eyes,what matters is not necessarily where you are trying along the way.It means that no matter what,as long as (只要) you try,you can never fail.It means you can learn from your mistakes,and continue on the next journey a little wiser. I think St Louis Rams,a professional American football team in Missouri,as a whole shared my law of life.They played every game with their full potential (潛能) instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads.They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl,a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday in February.Even though they lost some games,they didn't give up. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to be on top in the end or to win the game,what matters is that you work hard the whole time.You should understand that success is a non-ending journey.Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose,but what's important is that both sides need to try their best.After all,it's not who wins or loses,but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.

13.In a way,our moods(情緒)change with the weather.Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better.Pleasant weather can improve moods and memory.However,extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored.It spoiled our moods. In a study,people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The former(前者)got better scores in running tests. The best temperature for people is about 22.2 ℃.To improve moods,a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm weather.Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to (趨向) lower moods.It's mostly because we don't like to be inside when spring arrives.It is possible that inside activities seem boring. Maybe the activities connected with being outside influence our moods.Warm weather makes us happier.Warm weather is connected with the beach,fun outdoor sports,happy people,and so on.It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Of course,we can wake up every day and decide how we'll feel that day.If it's rainy,that won't necessarily make us unhappy.We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
