6.How Safe Is Your Bed?
Do you consider your bed a safe place of rest and calm?Do you sink into a mattress (床垫) after a hard day's work and feel tension and stress drain away as you rest your weary head on a soft pillow?Well,you might not feel so relaxed if you knew that tiny pests were hiding there!It seems that beds may not be such a good place for our health and happiness----they could actually be making us ill!
Recent studies have shown that bacteria,fungi and dust mites (螨虫),some smaller than the diameter of a hair,live in our bedding.When we move around in our sleep,we disturb them and they are bounced up into the air--which we then breathe in as we sleep.According to the American Lung Association,four out of five households in the United States now have high levels of dust mites,although it's not the mites themselves that cause the problems,but their droppings.These are"highly allergenic (致敏的)"according to Dr William Berger,a fellow with the American Academy of Allergy,Asthma and Immunology."Even if you aren't allergic…they can still irritate you,the way pepper would if it blew into your nose and eyes."
Brendan Boor,Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering,who carries out bed research,also found that bed dust in the air leads to allergies--causing watery eyes,sneezing,coughs and asthma.He has recommended ways to limit our exposure to these boring allergens:
Firstly,he suggests vacuuming your mattress regularly-weekly,or even daily.He also recommends doing away with carpets and washing floors.Using allergen-proof bed covers,he says,can reduce the risk of getting allergies.In addition,washing bedding and pillows frequently can help,as can a portable air cleaner placed near the bed.
If you do as Brendan Boor suggests,you will breathe in cleaner air as you sleep …or will you?Is it really safe for you to go back in your bed?
Studies show that beds aren't a good place for your well-being and they can even make you sick.Mites,bacteria and other tiny living things in your beds can cause illness or irritate you.Therefore,experts suggest that cleaning carpets,washing floors,using allergen-proof bed covers,and washing bedding and pillows frequently can make your bed safe..

17.Life is difficult.
    It is great truth because once we truly understand and accept it,then life is no longer difficult.
 Most do not fully see this truth.Instead,they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their familie s,their class,or even their nation.
 What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.Problems,depending on their nature,cause us sadness,loneliness or regret or anger and fear.These are uncomfortable feelings,often as painful as any kind of physical pain.And since life causes an endless series of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet,it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit,we encourage the human ability to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said,"Those things that hurt instruct."It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
