【题目】Erica Wills admits an addiction left her poor and almost ruined her life. But it wasnt drink or drugs. The 21-year-old former model was addicted to exercise. . Erica only realized she had become a gym addict when she decided to take a night off to celebrate her 21st birthday.

I wasted a whole year of my life doing nothing but exercise,” she says. . “ I thought we’d see more of each other if we worked out together.” When that relationship ended, she fell in love with the thrill of keeping her body in tip-top condition.

Every evening, I left the insurance company where I worked and dashed off to the club,” says Erica. “ But not me. All I would do is rushing off to the gym for five-hour sessions. I went through the lot each night—aerobics, a weights circuit in the gym, then a swim. I would get home after 11 pm, have something to eat and fall into bed. It was the same every weekday. On Saturdays, I might spend even longer in the gym.”

I just poured all my money into the gym. Membership and classes came to around 100 a month, plus I had to buy clothing and equipment.

I didn’t realize I had lost all my friends until my 21st birthday came round. I decided to take one evening off to go out with them. Then someone told me I hadn’t been a very good friend for a year, so why should anyone bother turning up? In fact, just one girlfriend came with me for a drink on my 21st birthday. That was the turning point for me. I cut right down on the gym and tried to pick up where I had left off with people.”

A. I didn’t buy anything else all year—I couldn’t afford to.

B. I first went to a health club when I dated a bodybuilder.

C. I only went out with my friends two or three times a week.

D. Anyone else aged 20 would be out with friends, having a laugh.

E. But when I started calling people, everyone said they couldn’t make it.

F. My old girlfriends were beauty queens and dancers, and I am naturally competitive.

G. Her hobby turned into a year of aerobic hell as she spent all her spare time in the gym.

【题目】Some people view a bad situation as a disaster. Its not. Its an opportunity. Once your old world collapses(倒塌), you can recover and rebuild. Now you have the chance to start fresh and do things more intelligently. I built my business on an unstable structure. I kept it going for years, but the business collapsed last year. I had to leave my office, selling off all the furniture and equipment. I got kicked out of my apartment because I couldnt pay the rent. I couldnt pay my bills or debt. I declared bankruptcy.(破产)

For years there was the worry that this might happen if I didnt keep straining(尽力) to keep the business going. And my worries were right. What I worried about would happen did happen .But you know what? Going through that experience wasnt really so bad. It was interesting. Some of it was actually pretty easy. Throughout most of it, I felt increasing relief and a renewed sense of freedom and possibility. All the old baggage was gone. No more office. Fewer possessions. Fewer obligations. No more debt. Most of all , no more straining. Life became a lot easier.

I got a cheaper and smaller apartment. I became debt-free. I learned to live within my means. Those were actually good things. The others were just feelings. The reality wasnt actually painful. After that, I kept going with the same business but completely changed the business model. I avoided the earlier mistakes, and that business recovered just fine and worked great. It was profitable every year from then on. But I had to go through the collapse first to reach that point.

If youve been feeling out of control with your current work or lifestyle, and youre currently straining to keep it going ,consider letting it go. Try allowing the old world to collapse, many or all of your fears and worries might actually come to pass, but thats ok. You dont have to keep the old world alive. If it keeps falling apart on you ,let it collapse. Experiencing the collapse isnt as bad as fearing the collapse

【题目】Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.

“Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearers, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal(非语言的) indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.

Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a person’s general age, sex, income, political affiliation(派别), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color, and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

So, some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).

However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, practical and functional shoes were generally worn by more agreeable people, while ankle boots went more closely with aggressive personalities.

The strangers of all may be that those who wore uncomfortable looking shoes tend to have calm personalities.

And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from attachment anxiety, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.

There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing shabbier and less expensive shoes.

The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality characteristics, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing deep awareness into their personalities.
