I was so excited after I had found the holiday in the guidebook．It said, “Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe's most beautiful cities 1 staying at one of its best hotels．” Now I wasn't so sure．I had waited fifteen minutes at reception(前台)when I 2 and now the shower in my room wasn't working．I called hotel reception．
“Hello．This is Room 308．There isn't any 3 in my bathroom．”
“Are you sure? ”
“Of course I'm sure!
“I'll 4 our hotel engineer at once．”
An hour later, the engineer came to look at the shower．He hit the pipes(管子)a few times and looked 5 ．“Sorry, but I cannot fix it today．Maybe, tomorrow．” Then he 6 his hand．I couldn't believe it! He wanted a tip(小费)for doing 7 ! I was very angry．But suddenly, I had a better idea． 8 , I gave the engineer a few coins．He hadn't fixed my shower but he had taught me something about staying in his country．Two minutes later I was at the reception desk．I explained the problem to the receptionist(接待员)and he replied, “Sorry．This is a 9 situation, but what can we do? ” I knew exactly what to do．I gave the hotel manager a very large tip．Fifteen minutes later I 10 into Room 405．It was twice the size of Room 308, it had a wonderful view(景色)of the city, a comfortable bed and, most importantly, there was water in the bathroom．
Medical experts say most Americans do not get 1 sleep．They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day．They are advising people to sleep lightly before 2 with other activities．
One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less 3 to die of heart disease．The study followed more than 2,300 Greek adults 4 about six years．Adults who rested for half an hour 5 three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not nap．
The study organizers said the strongest evidence was in working men．They said naps might improve 6 by mitigating(减低)tension caused by work．
Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the 7 of napping for many years．They urge people to 8 work, go home and have a nap before returning．In the United States, some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices．They believe this reduces 9 and accidents, and 10 increases the amount of work a person can do．
Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times．They say people should not carry out important duties when they feel 11 ．And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap．About twenty minutes of rest is 12 you need．Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effectiveness 13 the end of the day．But experts warn that a nap 14 last no more than twenty to thirty minutes．A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be 15 ．

Have you ever heard about Polar Bear(北极熊)Club in New York? These “Polar Bears” are people who meet 1 in the winter to swim in freezing cold water．The members of the Polar Bear Club are above the age of 60．Members must satisfy two requirements．First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very 2 because there are so many different kinds of people in the club．Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February．
Doctors don't 3 the medical effects of cold-water swimming．Some think that the body's temperature drops so low in cold-water swimming that finally the heart stops．But other doctors think differently．They point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during 4 swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter．
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the advantages of cold-water swimming．They say that their favourite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it makes the blood move fast to keep the body warm．Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water．A person who turns blue probably has a very 5 circulatory system and could not try cold-water swimming．
The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round．They find it fun and relaxing．As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I throw my 6 into the ocean and let the water carry them away．When I get out of the water, I feel happy again．”

Dear Jenny,
How's it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 1 nearly four weeks．I'm very glad to tell you that great 2 have taken place in our school this term．First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 3 to wasting．Some of us used to order more than what we could eat．That was a big waste of food．Now we need to 4 the food we order．We should also stop wasting in some other ways．For example, we should turn off the lights when we 5 the classroom．And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables．Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans(豆类)in our 6 time．I think that'll be very interesting．Maybe I'll be able to 7 you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What's more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 8 we have more time for after-school activities．I'm one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school．After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to 9 the traffic rules．
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 10 more about your school．
Yours,
Wang Wei

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor．Soon they began to 1 the stress in work and life．
The professor went to the kitchen and returned 2 a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups-crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; some 3 , some cheap．And he told them to help 4 to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were 5 , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．While it is 6 for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your 7 and stress．
You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, 8 you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, 9 you consciously went for the best cups．
Now consider this： Life is the coffee．The jobs, money and 10 in society are the cups．They are just 11 to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life．Sometimes, by 12 only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has 13 us．God offers us the coffee, not the cups．Please enjoy your coffee! ”
The happiest people don't have the best of everything．They just make 14 of everything．
Live simply．Love generously．Care deeply．Speak 15 ．And leave the rest to God．
