Dear Abby, I am a very conservative woman. I don"t drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of friends despite (尽管) our differences and thought they enjoyed mine. On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my "lack of fashion," and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late. Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don"t bring up their being overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don"t criticize them for sleeping around. I wish they would accept me for who I am. I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don"t really want it to come to that. Any suggestions? Just an Old-Fashioned Girl ________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Old-Fashioned Girl, Just this: It"s time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your own. The friends you have described may be lovely, but their comments were out of line and folks are known by the company they keep.

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives. Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites. They become addicted to computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don"t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life. They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.

How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives? I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about what"s important in their life. While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it"s not what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of"definitely directed thought." Wallace D. Wattles, wrote "There is no labor from which most people shrink (退缩) as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world." And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement. My friend Mike Litman wrote an outstanding article this week. It"s called "The Millionaire Composite" and it analyzes one of the big differences between super-successful people and everyone else. He writes"I recently visited a Real Estate Multi Millionaire Mogul. What did I see next to his desk? His vision statement, along with a list of what he values in life - hand written. "A few months back, I interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion dollars worth of products on television. He told me that he reads his life and business vision and goals daily, and that he takes time to visualize (使看的见) exactly what he wants to create each night before falling asleep." What is your life"s purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose? Without purpose and goals-definitely directed thought-you are like the proverbial "ship without a rudder (舵)." There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that propels (驱使) you toward the life you envision. |

3. The underlined word it in paragraph 3 refers to ______. |
A. an outstanding article B. the permanent and continuous thought C. the physical labor D. a good plan |
4. The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us that ______. |
A. we should think about our life"s purpose and personal mission often B. we had better learn how to plan our time C. we should know what the life is D. we should know how to become a successful businessman |
