Hi Worried,

I am sorry to know that you¡¯re having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don¡¯t have to worry so much. The important thing is to find some effective ways to help you fall fast asleep at night. Here are some useful tips:

First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your pressure out so that you won¡¯t feel lonely and helpless. Second, go outdoors and do more exercises every day, which will make you tired before falling asleep. Third, if possible, you should turn to a doctor for help. Last but not least, remain optimistic about life. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits. I hope you¡¯ll soon feel better and carry on

as normal.

Yours,

Jamie

Ali is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes every day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says, ¡° I tried to quit smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible. My parents smoke. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke. Here in the United States, not as many people smoke. ___¡¾1¡¿___ ¡±

Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking. ___¡¾2¡¿___ They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine. People who smoke a lot need nicotine.

___¡¾3¡¿____ The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days, the smoker¡¯s body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad.

__¡¾4¡¿___ Many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke ¡°just one¡± cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again. ____¡¾5¡¿___

A. It is very hard to quit smoking.

B. It will be easier to change the smoking habit here.

C. Thus nicotine makes smokers addicted to cigarettes.

D. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health.

E. When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible.

F. Maybe there is only one esy way to quit smoking: never start.

G. But it is said that medicine is needed to stop them from smoking.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let it on.

It was difficult to coordinate(Эµ÷)our steps---his slow, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn¡¯t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, ¡°You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.¡±

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a ¡°good heart¡±, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don¡¯t know accurately what a ¡°good heart¡± is. But I know the times I don¡¯t have one myself.

Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate(²Î¼Ó) in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball(poorly),he ¡°played¡± too. When I joined the navy ,he ¡°joined¡± too. And when I came home on leave ,he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, ¡°This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.¡±Those words were never said aloud.

He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious of another¡¯s good fortune, when I don¡¯t have a ¡°good heart¡±.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, ¡°You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.¡±

The Open Hand ¡ª a Universal Sign

When meeting people at the airport, ¡¾1¡¿ We know that a smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, but what if we don¡¯t know who the new person is? ¡¾2¡¿ What if we are meeting a stranger in an unfamiliar place? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect themselves. We have to make sure we can trust people we do not know, ¡¾3¡¿ Showing our hands means that we are not armed£¨Îä×°£©. In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually stronger than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, it cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, ¡¾4¡¿

Not all cultures use the handshake, ¡¾5¡¿ Japanese people might cover one hand with the other and, depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India, Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim will touch his heart, mouth and forehead£¨Ç°¶î£©to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the ¡°high five¡±, when they slap£¨ÅÄ£©each other¡¯s hands high in the air. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand means, ¡°Welcome, you are safe with me.¡±

A. What if I want to show that I am bored?

most people smile and shake hands with people they meet.

C. and that the other person can trust us.

D. What if we are not introduced by a friend?

E. and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person.

F. and we have to show that we are not dangerous.

G. nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people.
