17.We all have our ways of marking time.As a photographer,my life is measured from one story to the next.My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act.My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
Twenty stories later,though,it's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best.It was the story about the loss of wilderness-and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer.That's the one that made time stand still.I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor.Cruelly,it was Thanksgiving.By Christmas,she had become very weak.Some days she was so sick she couldn't watch TV.
Early examination saves time.But ours was not early.By the time you can feel it yourself,it's often bigger than the doctor want it to be.
Cancer is a thief.It steals time.Our days are already short with worry.Then comes this terrible disease,unfair as storm at harvest time.But cancer also has the power to change us,for good.We learn to simplify,enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't.Cancer even made me a better father.My work had made me a stranger to my three kids.But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race.This is a new way of life and new way of seeing,all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time.We have less of it than we can possibly imagine.And even thought it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread,and her prognosis(診斷) is good,we try to make it all count now,enjoying every part of every day.
I've picked up my camera again.I watch the sky,searching for beautiful light.When winter storms come,Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues.After all,this is good.This is we're living for.

7.Life is like a road.There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths.
(36)D There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness,roads towards victory and jubilation (快樂(lè)),and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.
(37)C There are no guarantees.This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life.
Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness.Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned.Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness.Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad,especially if you are highly qualified and competent.There are too many possible outcomes,which you really cannot control.(38)F Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it,then you might as well take the risk and decide.It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo(中間狀態(tài)).(39)G It is a all a matter of perspective.You have the choice between being a lost traveler or an accidental tourist of life.But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly(冒險(xiǎn)地).(40)B.
A.But do not regret it whatever the outcome.
B.Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid.
C.You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it.
D.In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life.
E.Now that you have made a decision,be read to face its consequences:good and bad.
F.The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make,and how you would act and react to different situations.
G.Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost,it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure,moreover open more roads.

5.Science can't explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some,an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more released around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56fat people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about 11pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12pounds,more than 15% of their body weight.Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say Researchers,got more exercise overall--mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing.

65.What does the text mainly discuss?A
A.What pets bring to their owners
B.How pets help people calm down
C.People's opinions of keeping pets
D.Pet's value in medical research
66.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifA.
A.he has a pet companion
B.he has less stress of work
C.he often dose mental arithmetic
D.he is taken care of by his family
67.According to Allen,why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?C
A.They have lower blood pressure.
B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous.
D.They are in higher spirits.
68.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA.
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did

My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty five years before.It was very hard to part with the home they built together.One day he called my cousin who was living in Texas and told her that he reconnected with a lady from a church that he and my aunt went to forty years previously.She played piano and his church was looking for new music.Her husband had died about seven years previously.He said he just wanted someone to go out to dinner with and spend time with.We were happy for them but had no idea how it would turn out.They were both almost eighty-seven years old.

They got married in her house,where her first marriage took place.It was such a beautiful refreshing thing to see,two people who you would have thought had pretty much lived their lives,were beginning a new one together.

2.According to a study at the University of Marland Medical Center in Baltimore,researchers found that people who had a good sense of humor and laughed a lot,not only at home but also at work,had fewer heart problems than people who laughed less,and laughing people tend to live a longer life than the ones who are not.
After reading plenty of information about the benefits of laughing and a careful study of previous papers in this area,a doctor in India started a laughter club.Dr.Mandan Damaris's laughter club quickly grew into 1,800groups throughout India and over 6,000around the world.The laughter club had even inspired World Laughter Day,which people celebrate on the first Sunday of May every year.Instructors at the clubs get people laughing not only through jokes but through simple laughing exercises,F(xiàn)or example,instructors and participants repeat the chant"ho-ho-ho"and"ha-ha-ha"together.What's more,participants also do the"Lion laugh"by sticking out their tongues and waving their hands around their ears.Other exercises focus on breathing and simple yoga exercises.In a word,all the activities that can cause laugh are included in the clubs.
These laughter clubs are very popular in hospitals and nursing homes nowadays in India,where participants can forget about their aches and pains while laughing.It seems that laughing may be just as important as eating right and exercising.
Not everyone can join a laughter club,but we all can take part in the same practice.According to the doctor,besides taking part in the clubs,everyone can do something to make themselves laugh.How can you make laughing a part of your daily routine?If you feel funny about joining a laughter club,you can rent a funny movie,remember a funny experience,do some sports,go to the zoo,watch the monkeys or even,just make yourself laugh.You will not be able to keep a straight face all the time.
So,don't worry;be happy.Laugh a little and live longer.
Researchers found that laughing could make people live a healthier and longer life.(要點(diǎn)1)Based on sufficient information,a doctor in India opened a laughter club to make participants laugh through various activities.(要點(diǎn)2)Actually,the idea of laughter clubs is prevailing in India nowadays and people attach great importance to laughing.(要點(diǎn)3)So it's advised that everyone should try to do more laughing in one way or another.(要點(diǎn)4).

6.Do you always experience tired eyes at an even more frequent rate?What if your eyes are in such a kind of condition?There is no need to worry about it because it is so common nowadays.On the contrary,you should find the factors and then seek some appropriate treatments for them.
Some folks don't wish to waste even a second at work,even to blink (眨眼)for a fraction of a second.Staring constantly at the screen can cause stress to one's eyes.Sitting and staring at the television screen for hours can also make the eyes tired.
Bookworms love reading and they will make sure they read much more than their bodies can deal with.The desire to finish a book may result in fast reading,without taking breaks,which can lead to tired eyes.Continuous reading in dim light can also cause pressure to the eyes.
Decreased water intake and overindulgence (過(guò)度放縱)in salt-based junk food items like burgers,pizzas,etc.a(chǎn)lso play a role in causing tired eyes.These junk food items do not furnish the body with the required essential nutrients,thus causing a lack of vitamins,which also has an effect on tired eyes.
Stress at the workplace or at home and a noisy sleeping environment cannot bring enough sleep at night.Lack of sleep causes the eyes to become heavy.Dark circles are also seen to develop if one doesn't get sufficient sleep over a period of time.
Even though this condition is not fatal,it is stressful for the health of the body,and must be treated.If not treated on time,the condition can become worse and result in double or blurred vision.Here are some ways to treat the tired eye condition.
Every hour during your day at work,spend a minute relaxing your eyes.Look away from your computer screen and roll your eyes in both directions.Try and blink more often.Look around the room or close your eyes for a minute if you want and then work again.Following this every hour will help reduce overall stress on your eyes,and you won't feel so tired after work.
Caffeine present in the tea helps relieve tired eyes.Make a cup of hot black tea and pour it into a glass.Hold the glass close to your eyes,so that the vapors from the tea reach your eyes.This may be troublesome,so instead you can also use tea bags to relieve your eyes.Dip two black tea bags in a cup of hot water and once the warmth is bearable place the warm tea bags onto your eyes.This will also make you feel fresh.
If your eyes feel extremely tired at work,go to the washroom and wash your face with cool tap water.The cold water will help relieve the tired feeling.Do this every hour during work and you will find relief.
Tired Eyes:Why and How?
