I was  23  that I was right and he was wrong--and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The  24  decided to teach us a very important lesson. My English teacher, Ms Green  25  both of us up to the 26  of the class and  27  him on one side of her desk and me on  28 . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could  29 see that it was black. She asked the boy what  30  the object was. “White,” he answered.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white,  31  it was obviously black! Another  32  started between my classmate and me, this time about the  33  of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed  34  and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I  35  answer, “White.” It was an object with two  36  colored sides, and from his side it was white.  37  from my side was it black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must  38  in the other person’s shoes and look at the  39  through their eyes in order to  40  understand their view.

When it comes to the prevention of heart disease, women need to pay attention to their own special risks. And so do men. Surprisingly, even children and teens need to be aware- or at least the parents who want to keep them safe do. Thankfully, scientists have also made great leaps in figuring out the specific prevention strategies that work best for all. So now, knowledge is your best protection.

What Men Need to Know

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), at least half of the people who die suddenly from heart disease each year had no clue they were sick. Some think that half of all heart attacks strike out of the blue. Not true, insists Jennifer Mieres, a spokeswoman for the AHA. A 2004 study found that at least 90 percent of first heart attacks are caused by well-known problems like high cholesterol(胆固醇) or diabetes. “If you look closely,” says she, “you’ll almost always find a risk factor that was undiscovered, ignored, or not adequately treated.”

Lifestyle changes like adopting a healthy diet, getting out for regular exercise, avoiding tobacco, losing weight are the first line of defense.

What Women Need to Know

There are some special considerations for the women who are  healthy and want to make sure they stay that way. First, they shouldn't smoke-no one should, but the habit is even harder on women's heart than it is on men's.

Women who find that they are at risk should talk to their doctor about taking a statin(他汀,药物名). Indeed, statins reduce the risk of heart disease, but there has been not enough evidence that they help high-risk women and it can't guarantee the long-term safety. So it's worth noting that a healthy diet and exercise also reduce cholesterol.

What Parents Need to Know

Last year, a study showed that overweight children and teens have arteries(动脉)that look like those of an average 45-year-old. New guidelines say these children should get a cholesterol test by age ten -- and even urge doctors to consider statins for those most at risk if nothing else works. The recommendations caused oppositions. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise are the best strategy, says Dr. Greer, a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. Statins should be considered only for kids in danger.

Teenagers learn by taking on more and more responsibility gradually. For many parents, this involves giving their children a limited amount of control over financial decisions. 

If you give your teen some pocket money regularly, take the time to teach them how to manage their money.   1  Consider providing extra income opportunities to help them learn that money is something you earn, not something you can get for nothing.

2   Discuss with them such issues as what the car can be used for, who is responsible for gas and maintenance, and who can actually drive the car. Show them how auto insurance works.

Get them involved with your day-to-day personal finance decisions, such as grocery shopping.   3  Show them how to comparison shop, pointing out how much money you save through comparing prices and using coupons. Let them sit with you while you pay the bills, so they can see how much all the monthly expenses add up to.

Encourage teens to save their money toward a major purchase. Besides, you can offer to reward them for their savings. 4 

5  You might even consider showing them your bills when you pay them. Too often, young adults who get their first credit card consider it as free money and find themselves in debt very quickly. Make them understand that the $50 they charge today costs a lot more if they don’t pay it off quickly.

E. This is a great way to teach them the relationship between building a savings account and the positive rewards that follow.

F. Without money, you can’t do anything.

G. Have them help you with the grocery list.
