Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person． Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily． This is the first mistake that couples make． One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener． Their roles remain so forever． The talker forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting． If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions． So hear them out and give proper reactions．You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out．
2.
Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples． Understand that not every statement needs a reaction． Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner． Just agree with whatever ii is and there will be no harm done． Try and reach a mutual（相互的） agreement． If that's not possible leave the topic for later． If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally． '
3.
Every single day is a blessing． Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances （细微差别） of your relationships． Each one of us keeps changing every day, the circumstances around us change every day and with that our attitude also needs to change． The same applies when you are living with a person． Learning every day and taking every day as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips．
4.
This tip is especially meant for couples with children on how to maintain healthy relationships After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost． To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner． This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times．
5.
Respect has to be earned． It can only be earned only if you learn to respect． Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows． Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake, Learn to respect each other-and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship．

【小题1】_____
Know to whom you’ll be speaking, and learn as much about your audience as you can. The more you can anticipate the kind of reaction your listeners will have to your speech, the more comfortable you’ll be in delivering your message. Be audience-centered rather than speaker-centered.
【小题2】_____
You will feel less nervous if you talk about something you are familiar with or have some personal experience of. Your comfort with the subject of the speech will be reflected in your delivery.
【小题3】_____
The better prepared you are, the less anxiety you will experience. Being prepared means that you have researched your topic and practiced your speech several times before you deliver it.
【小题4】_____
You are likely to feel the most anxious during the opening moments of your speech. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a clear plan for how you will start your speech. Being familiar with your introduction will help you feel more comfortable about the entire speech. If you know how you will end your speech, you will have a safe harbour in case you lose your place. If you need to end your speech ahead of time, a well-delivered conclusion can permit you to make a graceful exit.
【小题5】_____
One of the symptoms(症状) of nervousness is a change in your breathing and heart rates. Nervous speakers tend to take short, shallow breaths. To help break the anxiety—reduce breathing pattern, consider taking a few slow deep breaths before you rise to speak.

| A．How do we get the names for the days? B．The origin of division of the times. C．How did men invent the week? D．The Jews names the seven days. E．How did the Egyptians and the Romans name the days? F．Reason for no names of the days. |
Do you know how the days of the week get their names? There was a time in the early history of man when the days had no names! The reason was quite simple：men had not invented the week.
2. _____________
In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market days were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didn't work, but met for trade and religious festivals.
3. _____________
The Jews followed their example, but kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into existence. It was the space between market days. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath day(which was Saturday). For example, Wednesday was called the fourth day (four days after Saturday)．
4. _____________
When the Egyptians adopted the sevenday week, they named the days after five planets, the sun, and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names of their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars(火星), of Mercury(水星), of Jupiter(木星), of Venus(金星), and of Saturn(土星)．
5. _____________
We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the AngloSaxons, who called most of the days after their own gods, which were roughly the same as the gods of the Romans. The day of the sun became Sunnandaeg, or Sunday. The day of the moon was called Monandaeg, or Monday. The day of the Mars became the day of Tiw, who was their god of war. This became Tiwesday, or Tuesday. Instead of Mercury's name, that of the god Woden was given to Wednesday. The Roman day of Jupiter, the thunderer, became the day of the thunder god Thor, and this became Thursday. The next day was named for Frigg, the wife of their god Odin, and so we have Friday. The day of Saturn became Saeterndaeg, a translation from the Roman, the Saturday.

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.” We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.

People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way.woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and

Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.
