●Hi, Carolyn: It's been a bad time for my husband and me. I haven't been able to get pregnant since a miscarriage about a year ago, and many people around me have had babies or are getting pregnant. 1 I have been looking for another job for months and have been on more interviews than I ever thought I would get. But I still don't have a new position. 2 I know everyone has ups and downs, but I feel like I've been down so long, with nothing changing. How do you continue feeling hopeful when so many things go wrong? I've seen a doctor. She did help, but it still hurts when another friend is pregnant or wait another week with no job offer. -Feeling Down ●Dear, Feeling down: It will hurt, yes. And if you've lost hope, then analyzing the depression is a must. It's so personal that it's hard to make suggestions, but what are you reliably good at, what gives you great pleasure, and what puts smiles on your face? 3 For many it's just getting to the other side, knowing you have a favorite book or the person you love waiting for you at the end of the day. Personally, being a mom also comes with difficult lows, since all kids struggle with the world and with their parents. It's their job. While you say "so many things go wrong," I actually count two in your letter-losing your baby and your job. 4 But you do have your general health, your talents, your marriage, your friends, your family, and other abilities and interests to move you forward. 5 -Carolyn | |

Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ 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 feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A 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 her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ 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. |
