Not Put Everything on a Single Venture As an English saying goes,“Do not put all your eggs in one basket.”What it reveals is that it is unwise to be totally dependent on one resource.This proverb is applicable in our daily life.To begin with,having a plan B can reduce the risk of unexpected and disastrous results especially when it comes to important events.For example,if you want the admission to college,you should fill in application forms of several colleges apart from the one you desire.In this way,there is a big chance for you to be admitted.What is more,paying attention to all the aspects at the same time contributes to a more balanced life.If a student only focuses on sports or other extracurricular activities and neglects his school study,he is more likely to lag behind in terms of academic performance.Therefore,it is unadvisable to put everything on a single venture.Having a backup plan,though costly sometimes,could save a lot of headaches and even be a lifesaver.Part

relationship.Only four out of the 55 people interviewed had completely broken with their sisters and brothers and only one of the four felt comfortable with the break.As sisters and brothers advance into old age,closeness increases and rivalry diminishes，explains Victor Chichiarelli,a psychologist at Purdue University.Most of the elderly people he interviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well with their sisters and brothers.Only 4%got along poorly.Gold found that as people age,they often become more involved with and interested in their sisters and brothers.53%of those she interviewed said that contact with their sisters and brothers increase in late adulthood.With family and career obligations reduced,many said they had more time for each other.Others said that they felt it was time to heal wounds.A man who had recently reconciled with his brother told Gold theres something that lets older people put aside the bad deeds of the past and
