  I remember a doctor friend, 11 me about a man who came to him with 12 illnesses: headache insomnia (失眠症),stomachaches and so on. No physical 13 could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “ 14 you tell me what's on your conscience (良心), I can't help you.”

  After a short silence the man told the doctor that he 15 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was 16 . His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an 17 and enclosing (附寄) a 18 . In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mail box.

With the development of the information technology, we are stepping into the new century. People’s topics, especially the young people’s, are becoming more and more 1 , which older men never understand, the Internet and 2 life.

  Just a few years ago, people 3 talked about what a computer could do to help their daily life. They considered it as a high-tech 4 for programming, to design machines, to control robots, 5 to make A-bombs! At that time, PCs were very expensive and it was too dear to 6 one’s computer to the web. What’s more, it was too slow. So 7 people knew what the Internet really meant.

  But today, things have changed greatly. The Internet times are coming. 8 , if you like to have a shot at succeeding in business today, you will have to succeed 9 the web, 10 around and it seems as if about every company out there is in E-business.

They can express their 13 , either happiness or anger, sorrow or loneliness, to their web mates in chat rooms. Some 14 have found their“true love”on the Internet!

“He looks normal.” That's what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism(孤独症). They all say it without 36 .

He regularly doesn’t eat. The food often 48 him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 49 his age. We are told that it’s another 50 of the autism.

Because autism isn’t like some other 51 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 52 ; what works for one probably doesn’t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn’t work, you have to try another 53 you hopefully find something that does work.

The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he’s a(n) 54 little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 55 any difficulty.

When I entered the Latin class as a high school freshman ,I had no idea that the teacher would be one of the most influential people in my life. Miss Siegesmund 36 out as a graceful lady, dressed 37 in a colorful suit. Her dark brown hair shone like gold ,and she was ele?gant. “ 38 are not supposed to be attractive. ” I thought to myself. However, she soon proved to have a winning personality to 39 _ her looks.

At first, I was so shy that I often crossed the street to 40 _talking to classmates and re?mained 41 around others. My mother did not believe in praise as it would 42 too much pride in myself. This strange 43 had a negative influence on my childhood,

I 44 in my Latin class as Miss Siegesmund believed in me. She listened to 45 I said. Her Latin class was fun and the stories from Roman history seemed to come 46 _. She taught good study habits, and I received an A in every class. I 47 _participated in a speech contest before the entire student body. Can you imagine the 48 I had made to arrive at that point? I 49 third in the contest. Miss Siegesmund said, “You should have won. You were 50 !” I thought to myself, “She has so 51 faith in me. ” Soon, my high school days hit an even — 52 peak.

I think of myself as a little dove with a 53 wing. My teacher became my 54 on earth. She mended my wing and 55 _me to fly. I shall never forget her for she was one of the most influential people in my life.

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, slow down instead of 36 . Apply these 37 in your everyday life, and you will find yourself being on your journey to simplification.

When you concentrate on one task, you find you have  38 that you didn’t even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to 39 two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep  40 one and then the other, it will take a long time, 41 one of them will keep slipping out of your hand and 42 . But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your 43 , make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back, get 44 one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, and then you can be sure of success.

The stress of work is now 45 almost in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family, the stress that formerly would have been 46 among all the relatives is now 47 on the individual partner.

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day is not 48 , then it’s not becausse the day has too 49__ hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that 50 people tend to forget. The 51 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many assignments.

“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given more—until one day they 52 . Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can  53 . These signs come from various 54 of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency  55 .

If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say openly, “ I can’t manage that.”

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is  36  , but leaves out important information that should be   37  , he can create a false impression.

For example, someone might say, “I just   38  a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and   39  it for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner,   40  ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred   41   , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big   42  !

He didn’t say anything that was   43  , but he deliberately left out some important  44  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically   45  , but they are just as not  46   .

Untrustworthy candidates in   47  campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and  48  three million jobs. Then she   49  another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement  50  , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.   51  , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of  52  million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s   53  the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the   54  . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It   55  to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
