  Whether you're new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself.Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

  Sometimes, you can remedy(补救)problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it's getting too loud, they shouldn't hesitate to let you know.

  Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent(相邻的)living space, and try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls.

  Keep your pet dog on a leash(皮带)if it has a habit of running rampant on your neighbors' lawns, especially if they have a pet cat or dog of their own, and make sure you clean up after it.

  When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone's access, or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot.Don't slam(砰地关上)your car doors late at night.

  Weed your garden in a regular way, because the presence of weeds in your yard is not only unsightly but can also spread to your neighbor's yard.

  Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wonderedIs it race?Income?Where you live?In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades

  Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than othersShe says one important factor in people's health is the amount of education they have

  In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States censusThese counts of people occur every 10 yearsMeara and her colleagues examined data from several decades

  “We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命)at age 25,Meara says

  “How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner?Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you've reached aged 25 and you've gone on to at least some college…”

  Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 yearsIn 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75

  In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact

  Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their livesMeanwhile, the life expectancy hasn't changed for less educated people

  Some of these gains can be explained.Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.

  “I think it's a reminder not to be satisfactory,Meara says.“Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn't always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the populationAnd I think that's something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”

  Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more moneyThis makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthierBut the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier

  Meara says education is key.People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.

  “OK, class.Count off(报数)by five.”  1   Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does.Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”-which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任务).

    2   Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people.Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others.Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone.  3  

  Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with-maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten.  4   For example:working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient.And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(联合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it.

    5   If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!

A.Few of us act alone in the real world.

B.Why is this type of project so popular in school?

C.With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.

D.Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.

E.Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of.

F.When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next.

G.One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused.

  Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years.Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment.With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them

  The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器), or WPS as they are often called.40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

  There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager.The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers.He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss.From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

  But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed.Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器).The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly.It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed.Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

  Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature(特征)of this revolution in office practice.

  In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!

  The assignment(任务)was to “go to someone you love   1   the next week and tell them you love them.It   2   to be someone you have never   3   those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn't   4   like a very tough assignment,   5   you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were   6   in the generation of men that were taught that   7   emotions is not “macho(男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying(heaven forbid!)was just not done.So this was a very threatening assignment for some.

  At the   8   of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to   9   what happened when they told someone they loved them.I fully expected one of the   10   to volunteer, as was usually the   11  , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand.He appeared quite moved and a bit   12  .As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite   13   with you last week when you gave us this assignment.I didn't feel that I had   14   to say those words to, and   15  , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me.It was telling me that I   16   exactly who I needed to say I love you to.You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated   17   and really never resolved it since that time.We   18   seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.But   19   then, we hardly spoke to each other.So last Tuesday   20   I got home I had convinced myself.I was going to tell my father I loved him.”
