3．I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years．I liked my job，and was doing well there，but our company was bought by a large company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs．That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do---become a freelance（自由撰稿的） writer．Changing professions has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways．
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible（灵活的） schedule．I work about as much as I did before---between 45and 50hours a week---but my schedule is much less rigid （刻板的） than it used to be．Before，I worked from 8a．m．to 5p．m．every day，with a few extra hours on weekends．Now，however，I work when I feel like it．For instance，sometimes I work until midnight or 2a．m．，then sleep until noon．I really prefer this kind of schedule．It seems more natural to me．
I alse decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health．While I was working as a manager，I never exercised．I already felt tired after work，so I just came home in the evening and watched TV．However，last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise．As a result I have lost over 10pounds and I feel much better．I've also started to eat more healthfully．I used to eat a lot of fast food，but now I do my own shopping．I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home．
Of course，not all the changes have been that east．For example，I don't feel as safe financially as I used to．When I was working as a manager，I never worried much about money．I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks．Working freelance，I don't have a regular paycheck．So now I have to make sure that there's enough money until the next check arrives．
All in all，I really like my current lifestyle．Of course，that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a"regular"job．But for me，at least，it suits me．

1．I arrived late one night on a business trip，so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in．As I was finishing my meal，an elderly couple came in．They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces．They sat three tables from me．I was amazed at the love they showed for each other．It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart．
My waiter was also their waiter．As I paid my bill，I asked what their bill was．He told me，and I gave him $40 to pay their bill．He asked if I knew them and I told him"No，I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other，"and then I left．
The next day I entered the restaurant again．After I had been seated，the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant．When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal，they were told that it had been paid．The waiter just told them what I said．They were amazed．They looked around，asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together，paid their bill and left．
I smiled and ordered my meal．About 45 minutes later，I finished my meal and was about to head out，but my waiter was nowhere to be found．I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport．She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay，because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples．
When I told her that they didn't have to do that，she said with a smile"Love creates Love．"

18．Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time？Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work？Maybe it's not an either/or situation．Perhaps you can do both at the same time．
When choosing a career，one of the things you must consider is your interests．Why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is，in fact，an interest？Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit （消遣，嗜好） outside one's regular occupation （职业）"．Maybe this is a rule you should break．After all，no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation．In addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies．The combination of interest and skill is a very compelling （令人信服的） reason to choose a particular career．
"Who's going to hire someone who loves making beaded （串珠状的） jewelry？"you may ask yourself．Good question．Don't wait for someone to hire you．Start your own business．That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career．Those with hobbies that involve creating things，i．e．jewelry，clothing，or pottery，may do well to sell those items on their own．Before you go forward with your plans，though，you should find out whether being an entrepreneur （企业家） is for you．
When you attempt to turn your hobby into a career，don't forget to do your homework．Even though you may have enjoyed training your 34parakeets （长尾鹦鹉） to sing the National Anthem，that doesn't mean you're cut out to be an animal trainer．Be sure to research your career choice completely．There may be aspects of it that just aren't for you．In that case，stick to your day job，as they say，and save your hobby for your free time．

16．Hi，Nancy！Thank you for writing to me．I enjoy getting letters from students in China and I'll be happy to exchange letters with you．
The first thing I want to tell you is that if the boys are calling you names it is their fault，not yours．Boys，at your age，are different from girls．They are trying to prove that they are manly and they often do this by choosing someone who can't really fight back．This is，of course，wrong but it happens and it is generally referred to as bullying．In general，the boys know they are bigger and stronger than you are，so they can make fun of you and make you cry and then laugh about it．If you let them see that they are hurting you，they will only do it more．It isn't that they want to hurt you； they simply want to make themselves feel superior．It's stupid but it is very common．
The best way of getting the boys to stop calling you names is to simply ignore them，knowing that the names can't hurt you and that the boys are being stupid．If you can laugh at them，they will get tired of trying to make you cry．Then they will give up and begin to notice you as a young woman．I suspect some of them actually like you and are laughing at you just to get your attention．Again，it's stupid but it happens．In reality，you can control this situation by not letting them see you getting hurt．Laugh at them，tell them they are acting like children and they should grow up and then walk away with your head held high．
One more thing，Nancy．It is very important that you stop hurting yourself．If someone else hurts you it is bad enough but you shouldn't make it worse by then hurting yourself．Even sticking a pen into your finger can cause an infection and give you a lot of trouble and besides，it hurts．The next time you are frustrated by a bunch of stupid boys，write to me．You and I can talk about anything you like，about China，about Canada，about travel，anything．Having a conversation with me is better than sticking holes in your fingers，as least I hope it is．
I wish you all the best and I hope to hear from you again soon．If you get a chance，please send me your picture．
Best wishes．
Brad
