The day,   38   most that summer, was bright and hot. As he   39  , sweat trickled(滴下) down. When he arrived at the library, he leaned his bike   40   the railing(栏杆) and,   41   his mother’s advice, didn’t bother to   42   it.

The library was extremely   43  , filled with the distinct smell of books.   44   in the stacks(堆), John spent longer than he’d imagined   45   just the right book. He waited patiently for his   46  , and watched   47   the librarian fed his card through the recorded machine.

He felt a little strange, however, and a bit older somehow, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.

    71 .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.72

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.”

    73 .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.74

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.75 .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.

Ban the Band(乐队)?

Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful    36   ,instead of the usual school uniform.

Most of us think the dance is great   37  —even the teachers enjoy being there.  38  ,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no    39    band this year—only CDs.

“I don’t    40    it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.

“Someone said the school couldn’t    41    a band,and they think it’s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.

“Well,I don’t think it’s    42    enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”

Angela was as good as her    43   .In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the   44   some more thought.And he suggested that one   45   for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10.Angela had to   46    out whether the students would like to do that.

“I need all of you to help me,”she  47  to our group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their   48    about the band and the extra cost.”

   49    the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much    50    there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the    51   .“I really thought that only a few people     52    their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next    53    is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and    54    the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re    55   ,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
