　　In ancient Egypt,the pharaoh(法老)trented the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace ,if he broubht good news ,However ,if the exharsted runner had the misrlrtune to buing the pharaoh unhappy news ,his head was cut off

　　Shades of that lpirit priad ovie today’s cknversntions,Once a friend and Ipack up some peanut butter ane sandwiches for an outing As we walked light-heartedly out the door ,pienie basket in hand ,a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and saie ,Oh boy ,bad dny for a picnic the weatherman says it’s going tl raim I wanted to strike him on the race with the peanut butter and sandwiches not for his stupid weather report for his wsile

　　Several months ago Iwas racing to fcatcb angty A’s I breathlessly put my handfrul of cash acrlss the Greyhound ckunths the sales ager said with a brond smile．Oh that bus lsft rive minrtes ago Dreams of head cutting

　　It’s not the news thst makes ,someone angry It’s the unsympathetic attitrde with which it’s delivered Everyone must give bad mews from time to time ,and winning professilnalas di it ‘swith the prope attitude A doctor advising a paticnt she needs an operation dose it in a caring way Aboss infonning an employee he didn’t get job takes on a sympathetic tone Big winners know ,when delivering ang ban news they should share th feeling of the receiver．

　　Unfortumately, many peple are not aware of this?you re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready ye?When you had your heart set on the toast beef ,has your waiter mimily told you that he just seuved the last piece?It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist fight on their unsympathetic faces．

　　Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically infored me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh ,that ‘s all right．I’ll catch the next one．” Big winners, when they bear bear new ,deliver bombs with the emxtion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have．

      The worst US economic depression in the recent 70 years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement,
leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risking homelessness.
      The study by Experience Works, released on Tuesday, showed 46 percent of the 2,000 low income
people over 55 years who participated needed to find work to keep their homes. Nearly half of them had been searching for work for more than a year.
      "These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were
behind them,” said Cynthia Metzler, president and CEO of Experience Works.
     "Bur here they are, many in their 60s, 70s and beyond, desperate to find work so they can keep a
roof over their heads and food on the table.”
      According to the study, many of the participants had no intention of working past their 60 th birthday, but _______ after being laid off or following the death of the partner. Over a third of the participants had
retired.
      Ninety percent of the respondents 76 years and older planned to continue working for the next five
years.
      Huge medical bills due to a persona illness or that of a partner were also reasons for coming out of
retirement, the survey found. The longest and deepest economic decline since the 1930s is making finding
a job for the low-income elderly workers a difficult challenge.
      The Experience Works study found that 46 percent of the elderly jobseekers were sometimes forced
to choose between paying rent and buying food or medication. Almost three-quarters believed their age
made it harder to compete for jobs with younger workers.
     "This study underscores calls for the need to create policies that remove barriers to employment for
elder workers and provide additional programs and services specifically aimed at helping elder people
re-enter the work force or remain working,” said Metzler.

     Some 30 million Americans suffer from insomnia. Here, our expert panel provides you with four different
solutions for getting some rest:
Neil B. Kavey, MD,
Director, Sleep
Disorders Center,
New York Presby-
terian Hospital
The sleep specialist. Try behavior changes
and proper use of medication. At night, keep
away from bright light. In the morning, open
the shades and go out for a walk, to tell your
brain, "This is, the beginning of the day."
You can try OTC sleep aids, but if you suffer
for more than three weeks, see a doctor.
Drugs are safe when used properly, and better
than the consequences of not sleeping.
Cerald Lemole,
MD Associate
Medical Director,
Christiana Care
Center for Heart
and Vascular Heal-
th, Wilmington,
Delaware.
The alternative source. Stress often plays a
role in insomnia, so try to change your reaction
to it. Don't exercise or eat at the end of the day,
and avoid or limit caffeine, alcohol and nicotine.
Enjoying a warm bath can help. Also, try taking
l,000 mg of calcium (钙) (it may calm your
muscles and nerves, helping you sleep ).
Lisa Derosimo,
MD, Owner, The
Weight and
Wellness Center,
Jupiter, Florida
The nutritionist. Go to bed and get up at the same
time daily. Keep your room dark and quiet, and
remove distractions (no working in bed). Have a
cup of herbal (草药) tea, such as chamomile (甘菊),
to relax your body. And remember, people who eat
a healthy diet of whole grains, fruits and vege-tables,
and low-fat protein feel better and sleep better.
Sandra McLanah-
an, MD, Medical
Director, Integral
Health Center, Buckingham,
Virginia
The mind/body pro. Lying in bed, starting from your
legs and moving up to your head, tense your muscles
one at a time, then release. Your body will feel more
relaxed, like a rubber band after it's been stretched.
And try alternate-nostril (鼻孔交换的) breathing. Exhale
(呼气) through one nostril, using your fingers to close
the opposite nostril. Breathe in and out; then switch
back and forth.
1. What does the underlined word"insomnia" in the second paragraph mean?
A. Late stay.

C. Tiredness.
D. Breath trouble.
2. Who thinks medicine is an important factor in keeping a good sleep?
A. Kavey

3. According to Lisa Derosimo, what results in a good sleep?
A. Having a balanced diet.
B. Keeping your sleeping-room bright.
C. Taking enough medicine.
D. Having some fish in the evening.

A. breath deeply
B. build your body
C. exercise your nose
D. relax yourself
