                             Healthy Relationship Tips

   Healthy relationships are effortless, if both the people involved take equal effort to maintain it. Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life.

61. ________________

   Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person. Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily. This is the first mistake that couples make. One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener. Their roles remain so forever. The talker forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting. If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions. So hear them out and give proper reactions. You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out.

62. ________________

   Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples. Understand that not every statement needs a reaction. Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner. Just agree with whatever it is and there will be no harm done. Try and reach a mutual (相互的) agreement. If that’s not possible leave the topic for later. If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally.

63. ________________

  Every single day is a blessing. Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances (细微差别) of your relationships. Each one of us keep changing everyday, the circumstances around us change everyday and with that our attitude also needs to change. The same applies when you are living with a person. Learning everyday and taking everyday as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips.

64. ________________

  This tip is especially meant for couples with children to maintain healthy relationships. After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost. To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner. This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times.

65. ________________

   Respect has to be earned. It can only be earned only if you learn to respect. Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows. Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake. Learn to respect each other and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship.

Creating a healthy relationship takes equal effort from both sides. Sharing, caring, being apologetic, forgiving and having realistic expectations are some of the important ingredients to the recipe of a healthy relationship.

When I was learning calligraphy (书法), my teacher told me a story.
A calligrapher taught handwriting. One of his students who often practiced handwriting with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time. His teacher said to him, “Try to use the best paper. Maybe you'll write better.”
The student did as he was told. It really worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious. He asked his teacher about the reason. The calligrapher answered，“When you used old newspaper to practice handwriting, you would think you were writing a draft. It didn't matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply. In that case you wouldn't pay much attention to it. Now you use the best paper and you'll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you'll devote to it with all your heart and soul; you'll do the handwriting much more attentively than practicing. Of course you've made rapid progress.”
Indeed, we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless “old newspaper”．We don't care if we scrawl and waste it, thinking that it will come endlessly—the “old newspaper” is inexhaustible. In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.
Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there's no chance for us to draft. That's because what we call “draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed.
Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper.

Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life there's no chance for us to draft. That's because what we call “draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed.

Most of us can remember the days when we didn’t use e-mail as an everyday means for communication. Slowly but surely, it entered our lives. E-mail is a valuable tool for college students at any level. It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and even at holidays. Most universities assign students an account(户头) upon entrance.

You can do everything from getting information or advice on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, exchanging letters with family and friends, and getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But, what are the disadvantages?

E-mail can be e-jail (prison). You might spend hours writing and replying to e-mails when you should be hitting the books for an upcoming exam. Or, you might be signed up for so many daily services, such as horoscopes(星座), news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up with “junk mail”, that finding the important e-mails through your mail-box might take hours.

If you’re a student, time is limited and valuable. Create and organize your e-mail folders into important school-related mail, correspondence (通信联系) with friends and family, and a mixed folder for jokes, horoscopes, and other news services. Always put the mail into the right and proper folders first, and when you’ve finished, head for the important school-related folder first. Reply to the most important e-mails first and, if you have time, you can get to the others.

Try to stop your friends from sending those troublesome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain e-mails. The minute you realize you’ve got one, delete it immediately so you won’t be attracted to read it.

1. The underlined part ‘be hitting the books’ in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.

　 A. be fond of books　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. be writing books

　 C. be studying hard　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. be asking for advice

2. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?

　 A. Students get an e-mail account upon their entrance to universities.

　 B. It is necessary to put your e-mail into different and proper folders.

　 C. Delete those troublesome e-mails from your friends or some companies.

　 D. There are many advertisements in every e-mail folder.

3. The best title of this passage should be ____.

　 A. The Advantage of E-mail　　　　　　　　　 B. The Disadvantage of E-mail

　 C. How to Create Folder　　　　　　　　　　　 D. E-mail or E-jail
