121. The Transformation 转变

Evan was in his last year of middle school. He was 4 feet and 11 inches. He weighed 140 pounds. He was bald. He had no friends. He had a 0.00 GPA（平均分数）. His life was going nowhere. He was struggling with so much because his parents recently passed away. He wanted to transform himself though, so he could have a fresh start in high school.

Evan went to a therapist, who told him that he had to make small changes first. The therapist told him that he had to start with the easier things. Evan bought hair growth treatment to fix his baldness problems. He started talking to people more to make friends. He realized that he just had to express himself. He started to study more instead of crying about his parents. He started to eat healthier to lose weight.

When Evan entered high school on the very first day, he was a totally different person. His classmates could not recognize him. Evan was now 5'9", muscular, smart, and popular. He also had a head full of hair. Everyone wanted to be friends with him. Most important of all, Evan was finally happy.

然而，如果你和我们志同道合的话，我们有一项建议要给你。
Don't forget to rub a good amount of sunscreen lotion all over your body.
别忘了全身上下要抹上大量的防晒乳液。
Not only does it protect you from getting skin cancer, but it also helps to keep you nicely tanned.
防晒乳液不只是可以防止你得皮肤癌，还可以让你晒得一身古铜色。
Both my brother and I forgot to do that and now we look like Afro-Americans rather than Chinese.
