1 She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she
woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed
for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest. 2
Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in
42 years-and nothing bad had happened. "And you know what?"she said. "I don't dry my dishes
anymore, either."
3 One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other
was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理)
about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The
problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care
of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. 4
So what is the solution? There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first.
On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise,
leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 5 The choice is yours: whatever
makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano.
Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother
kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破).
B. Above all, you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.
C. They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.
D. However, she went along with my idea.
E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day. On one particular day, I was teaching in a very 36 classroom. I was managing behavior all morning, and by lunchtime I knew I needed a coffee to 37 the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 38 , I realized I had locked my phone and my 39 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 40 , which was a good five -minute drive. If I ran back really quickly, I could 41 it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation much 42 . So I hurried into a McDonald's in the same square, and 43 the man at the counter, who happened to be the 44 , to call a taxi for me. After I 45 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone 46 I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 47 to my school at this point. A moment later, the manager returned 48 to tell me that the line was 49 , and that he had not been able to 50 the taxi yet. I think both 51 and fear could be seen in my face. Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 52 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 53 before the bell rang! This experience made me 54 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has a(n) 55 influence on those who receive them. | ||||

About 10 years ago I taught a group of children to sail. They were bright, enthusiastic and as eager to 1 life as any other children. All, however, had a serious 2 . Three were in wheelchairs, one was nearly blind and two walked with difficulty, and another two 3 a lot from Cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Matthew was among them. His hands, arms, legs, and even his voice were all distorted (扭曲) from the disease. To speak, Matthew had the help of a 4 . Slowly, and with determination, he would 5 with distorted hands, letter by letter, what he wanted to say. Yet he was always bright and cheerful and loved to 6 everything his classmates were doing, both in the boat and in the classroom. They learnt fast and enjoyed every minute of the 7 .
