Simplify Your Life

Less is more．This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them，get rid of junk instead of piling it up，relax instead of stressing，slow down instead of speeding up．Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way．You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification．

1.__________

When you concentrate on one task，you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had． Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards．If you keep grabbing one and then the other，it will take forever，because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off．But if you tie one pig in a place，pick up the other，gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line，pause for a moment，run back and get the other one，and with great determination，carry the second pig to the finish line，then you can be sure of success．

2._________

The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations．In the modern nuclear family，the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner．

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do，then it's not because the day has too few hours，but because you have too many activities．A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget．The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life．

3.____________

"I can handle stress" is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work．People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with -- until one day they break．

Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with．These

If you have any of these symptoms，change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress．Say quite openly，"I can't manage that．"

4.__________

“If only I were slimmer，more beautiful，richer，more clever，then I would be happier．" This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill，depressed，and unhappy．Life has its flaws，defects，corners，and edges．Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life．

Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous: driving a car; crossing the road． But life doesn't consist entirely of these things．In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes．

5._________

Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work．Find out which places improve your creativity．For me it's the train．When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door，I find nay mind is free and I can read or write complex articles．There can be problems working on the train，of course : if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away，or if train traps make you tired ( some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

A． Escape Now and Then

B． Slow Down Your Life

C． Separate Your Actions

D． Allow Yourself to Be Weak

E． Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying "No"

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.

Trying to locate my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags．He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you．I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing．They stared at each other’s eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands．For an instant they reminded me of a couple who recently got married, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.

Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without stopping staring at his lovely wife’s face．“Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked． “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was surprised． By the intensity(强度) of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks---if not months．I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and murmured offhandedly(随便的，不假思索的), “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”

The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked at me straight in the eye．With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person．“Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”

With that, he and his family turned and went away together.

I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

Indoor Plants

As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

A general rule for most plans being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

Plants love company. When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well. Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

A． It provides owners good company.

B． It helps the air around them slightly wet.

A． Use water that is a little warm.

B． Pour the water into the pot holder.

C． Give small amount of water at one time.

D． Consider further watering in dry weather.

We all know the saying“beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and the fact that there are a whole lot of strange—looking people out there happily loved up would suggest that it’s true．But scientists have now performed the biggest test so far，analyzing the preferences of more than 35，000 people，and have shown that we really do all have a unique “type”．

In fact，the study showed that even identical twins，who share nearly l00 percent of their DNA, aren’t attracted to the same people，suggesting that it’s our experiences，more than our genes，that determine whether we find someone hot or not．

“We estimate that an individual’s aesthetic(审美的)preferences for faces agree about 50 percent，and disagree about 50 percent，with others，’’explained Laura Germine from Harvard University，and Jeremy Wilmer of Wellesley College，lead researchers of the project．

“This fits with the phenomenon that on one hand，fashion models can make a fortune with their good looks，while on the other hand，friends can endlessly debate about who is attractive and who is not，”they added．“Of course，there are some things that people seem to find pretty much universally pleasant to look at，eg，most people prefer faces that are symmetric(对称的)．”But after analyzing the facial preferences of more than 35，000 volunteers, the researchers found that，it was experiences that seemed to be what shape the “eye of the beholder”．And those experiences are highly specific to each individual．

So in other words，it’s not your family，where you grew up，or how much money your parents make that shape who you’re attracted to，it’s things like the magazines you read, the social activities you’ve take part in，and even your first boyfriend or girlfriend，that determine these preferences．

1.What does the underlined word “identical” in Para 2 mean?

C．distinguishing D．considerate

2.Why does the writer talk about the “fashion model”?

A．To tell us they own beautiful faces which help them earn money．

B．To emphasize they have symmetric faces which people widely enjoy．

C．To show people’s preference for faces partly agree and disagree．

D．To explain the role genes play in people’s preference．

3.Which of the following statements agrees with the theme of the passage?

A．Symmetric faces look beautiful in eastern culture but not in western culture．

B．The more beautiful a person looks，the more likely he is to get a success．

C．A person’s aesthetic preferences for beauty will remain the same in the future．

D．Some think the movie star Huang Xiaoming handsome while some don’t think so．

4.What is the title of the passage?

A．Gene preference or social preference?

B．Difficult to meet every taste．

C．Beauty is in the eye of beholder．

D．Love me，love my dog?
