When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the __36__ side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to __37__ in good health, or __38__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to __39__ damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text __40__ the title. Therefore, the scissors would __41__ before they start, __42__ halfway done when I find out the __43__result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your __44__. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __45__ up. But you know the future is unpredictable --- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left __46__. Thus you are __47__ in a difficult position and feel sad.

Lots of teenagers are trying to enter a university by coping stories and phrases from the internet to fill out their personal statements in Britain. Personal statements are used to show what can make applicants （申请）different as they outline their interests and reasons for studying a particular course. But it seems that some ideas and words are alike, even the same, thanks to an internet site designed to help those who don’t know what to write about themselves. A study found that nearly 800 applications had personal statements containing phrases taken from three online examples. The study, which involved examining 50,000 personal statements, found that 5% used the material from the internet, most from one free website. Borrowed material was most likely to appear at the end of a statement or where the applicant described the reasons for wanting to study a subject. Almost all applications are now completed online, but the new evidence of Internet temptation（诱惑）follow concern that teenagers are cutting and pasting material for A-level coursework(课程作业). A spokesman said later that he and his partners were looking for ways examine whether people appeared to be copying material.

People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.
