I"ve seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety. Some have a glass of wine at dinner. Others shop or eat.But these are troubling times with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism —and if drinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way offending off anxiety over the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventually come due.And I don"t mean just the credit card statement.Such coping methods do nothing to build your inner strength and resilience(弹性).Fortunately, there are ways to nurture(培养)true inner peace when outer peace isn"t an option.
A few months ago, a woman called Nancy attended one of my seminars.Nancy had been through hard times. Three years earlier her house had burned down; then her husband"s National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, and when he returned he was angry, depressed, and shocked.The couple got treatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked for a divorce.Nancy realized she had a choice: She could drown in self-pity or move forward.After seeing how the trauma(心灵创伤)of war had torn up her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life.So, at 35, she enrolled (注册学习)in a nursing school.
I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience.But her leap into a life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook.She shifted her focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others.And that one change brought her clarity and peace.
This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our own sense of security.That doesn"t mean you need to follow Nancy"s lead into a nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will help you maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart.

[1]When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault. "or "I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.
[2]However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
[3]Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need.
[4]Actually, cases of this kind are common occurrence. If your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability __________ simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
[5]This is what being a winner is all about ----- creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

[1]Some people"s ears produce wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem even though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. Experts say it protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter and keeps insects out. Doctors think it might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.
[2]So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can have too much of a good thing.
[3]The glands(腺体) in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears,but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a safe method or you could do a lot of damage.
[4]Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself. One way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use an injector device to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.
[5]The experts at N.I.H. say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.
[6]After the earwax is gone, gently dry the ear. But if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a health care provider for professional assistance.

Kids are drawn to smoking for a lot of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, or feel independent, but you can keep your child from getting addicted to tobacco. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
Discuss other topics in a way that doesn’t make your child fear punishment or judgment.
Stress what your child does right rather than wrong. Self-confidence is your child’s best protection against peer (同龄人) pressure.
Encourage your child to take part in activities that rule out smoking, such as sports.
When it comes to the dangers of tobacco use, it’s important to keep talking to your child about it over the years. Even the youngest child can understand that smoking is bad for the body.
Ask your child what he or she finds attractive or not attractive about smoking. Be a patient listener.
Read, watch television, and go to the movies with your child. Compare media images with what happens in reality.
Discuss ways to respond to peer pressure to smoke. Your child may feel confident simply saying “no”. But also offer your child responses such as, “It will make my clothes and breath smell bad.”
Encourage your child to walk away from friends who don’t recognize or respect his or her reasons for not smoking.
Explain how smoking affects the daily life of kids who start doing it. How do they afford the cigarettes? How do they have money to pay for other things they want? How does it affect their friendship?

“Please do not play with your toys on the living room furniture!”---that may be something you hear very often. However, thanks to British toy and furniture designer Amy Whitworth, now your parents may actually encourage you to play with your toys on the living room furniture---the Qubis Haus which is a playhouse by day,and a coffee table by night!
The innocent-looking centerpiece can be changed into a toy in a matter of minutes. What’s even more amazing is that it can be set up in many different configurations(配置),which means one can have a new house every day!
If you are thinking this toyhouse is for girls only, think again! For one it is a classy neutral brown, _________bright pink. Also, Amy has built it just right size for those Star Wars characters to live in. And best of all, because the walls can be made to order, the coffee table can change into a beautiful palace or a control deck for a starship!
The Qubis Haus comes with full sets for the bedroom. Living room and the dining room. All the pieces of furniture are magnetic(地磁的),so they stay put! Also because some creative kids like to build their own, some regular building blocks have been added! Finally, to ensure that other people’s Qubis Haus does not look exactly like yours, the furniture can be ordered in a variety of different fabrics(纤维织物).

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意每题词数要求)。
[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite(冻伤)and hypothermia(体温过低)unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm,dry and safe.
[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long.It mainly happens on the hands,feet,nose and ears.If deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold.Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it:releases.Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking,very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly.
[3] To avoid cold-related injuries,here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.
[4]The C stands for cover.Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head,neck and ears.And wear mittens(连指手套)instead of gloves.
[5]The O stands for overexertion(用力过度).Avoid activities that will make you sweaty.Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.
[6] L is for layers.Wearing loose,lightweight clothes,one layer on top of another,is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.
[7]D is for dry.In other words,stay as dry as possible.Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing.These include the tops of boots,the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.
[8] And here are two other things to keep in mind-one for children and    .Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body’s temperature.And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm.But what it really does is weaken the body’s ability to hold heat.
