                Are we too clean?

    In some parts of the world,it seems that 21 (keep) things too clean may cause a health problem. Parents often think that children are always getting dirty. But the 22 (true) is that in countries like the UK,parents clean their homes so carefully 23 children hardly ever come into contact with dirt,and therefore germs (细菌). The result is that one person in ten today 24(suffer) from some kind of allergy (过敏反应) 一three times more than just ten years ago.

    Parents who think back to how they used to play as a child will see how much things 25 (change) . Children today spend a lot of time in their rooms. Twenty years ago,our parents thought it was better for kids 26 (play) outside,so we would spend 27 (much) time in the park than at home. We always fell over, 28 we just brushed 29 (our) clean and then kept on playing.

    Now research seems to suggest that this is 30 good thing. Early contact with germs helps to protect our bodies against allergies later in life.

There is always something to be thankful for

    A famous writer was in his study. He picked up his pen and wrote:

** Last year,I had an operation and my gall bladder (胆嚢) was removed. I was stuck in bed due to this operation for a long time.

** The same year I reached 60 and had to give up my favourite job.

** The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.

** And the same year my son had a car accident. He had to stay in hospital for several days. The destruction of the car was another loss.

    At the end he wrote: It was such a bad year!

    When the writer's wife entered the room,she found her husband looking sad. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another piece of paper and placed it on. the side of her husband's writing.

    The writer saw the paper which read:

** Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.

** I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can make good use of my time to write something better with more focus and peace.

** The same year my father,at the age of . 95,passed away without depending on anyone and without any serious condition.

** The same year,my son was blessed (保佑) with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son survived. 一

    At the end she wrote: This year was a great blessing and it passed well!

    See!The couple had different viewpoints on the same incidents. In our daily lives we should see that it's not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes US happy. There is always something to be thankful for!

    Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest. But new research suggests something different. Scientists have known that close friendships help health. Lonely people are more likely to get sick. That's true for both teens and adults. Those findings inspired Joseph Allen and his team to look at teen behavior.

    So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13. The same 171 people were interviewed again as adults,at ages 25,26 and 27. Whether teens held in their feelings or expressed them to a close companion also influenced their later health. Those who held in their feelings were more likely to become sick as adults. What’s more,the study found that teens who went along with what their friends wanted,rather than being independent,were also healthier in their twenties.

    The (关系) held up even after the scientists took other possible influences on health into consideration. Weight,family income and drug use were all examined. Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also weak points. Teens who are more independent are likely to do better in school. And peer ^essure may lead some kids to. do risky thi?gs.

    Tara Dumas is ? (心理学家) in London. She says that the study’s findings not only are interesting but alsft emphasize the value of teen friendships. She wants to know what will happen when peers encourage each other to behave in ways that are unhealthy,such as smoking or drinking. She wonders whether those friendships will still lead to healthier adults.

    Dealing with peer pressure is a challenge. It is not as simple as just saying ‘no” ” Allen says. “Finding the right balance is the key. Parents need to understand fhe pressures teens face,” he adds.

    Grace o’ Brien,19. is the founder of Ears for Years — an organization that hands out low-cost , 见泣(太阳能助听器) to children in developing countries. The college student has handed them out to kids in five different countries around the world so far.

             listening to the clay 

    When I was a young girl,my father would drop me off at my art class every Saturday morning. Classes were held in the basement of an old building that had been converted into an art school. I loved that basement.

    I was determined that my own children would take Saturday art classes. I love those mornings,sitting next to my children and watching them clay(黏土) into dragons,bears,etc. If the g/aze (釉) didn’t turn out like we thought,our wise teacher would tell us with a smile that our unexpected results were “gifts from the (炉) .” She Was encouraging US not to judge our work or ourselves so harshly (苛刻地) but to be free to accent unexpected results willingly. She let US be open to new ways of seeing things,creating,and solving problems,without judgment.

    My son started class at age six. When he was handed his first ball of clay,he pushed his finger deeply into the center and said, “Mom,I can feel the heartbeat of the clay." This was the beginning of a lifetime of learning from my children. Years later,when I got particularly frustrated with my inability to make the clay take the shape I had imagined,I remembered my son’s discovery. I took the pwlse (脉搏) of the clay. I asked what it wanted to be. I discovered that my best pieces are done in partnership with the clay.

    The work I did in the art school helps my later work. I have learned to take the pulse of life and take note of what other people want and need. Now,wherever I am,I remain open to the “gifts from the kiln.”

1. V. to change or make sth change from one form,purpose,system,etc. to another (in Paragraph 1)

2. adj. feeling annoyed and impatient because you can't do or achieve what you want (in Paragraph 4)

    Susan Cain was such a shy girl that she did not want Other people to look at her. But when she grew up Susan chose to be a lawyer,which is usually for a bold(大胆的) person. But Susan thinks that her shyness has made her a better lawyer.

    She said, “At first I had the idea that I would be disadvantaged. But I quickly found that was not true.I’m good at listening to people,which helps me build relationships with others. These would also make me very powerful.”

    Almost half of all people say that they are shy. Social scientists studied young adults in eight countries across the world. They found that in Japan 57% of people said that they were shy. The lowest number was in Israel,only 31%. In most countries,bout 40% of the population said they were shy.

    Scientists say that it is because of two things: genetic（遗传） character and life experience. They did a study of two-month-old babies. Of every five babies,one was very active. Some people become shy because of what has happened to them. For example,children who are always blamed (责备)by their family can be shy. But good experiences can help sensitive children become active.

    Shy people may feel that they have a disadvantage in their social life and their work. But shyness can be an advantage. Many shy people have good characters. They are gooasfriends because they listen more than they talk. They are much less likely to cheat or lie even when they think they cannot be caught. Studies show that they are much more likely to show.?ympí?ty (同情) for others.

    Shy people may not have a choice about being shy. But they can learn to use the good qualities they have. In this way they can do something good with their shy character.
