The boy had to2 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not3 him in any way.
One 4, Paul and Marc reached their majority. They5 their land and money and decided to search nearby villages for ideas on building their homes.In each village, they found the nicest6 and talked to the owners. Each owner gladly offered7.
After Marc saw several homes, he8 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, 9, continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to10 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village.
Marc began building his home. He had several false starts,11 his home gradually rose from his land. By fall, Marc had finished his home. It wasn't perfect, but it was strong and he could12 it later. Paul enjoyed all the beautiful homes and13 with home owners. The first snow came and Paul, realizing he was running out of time,14 back to his land. He built the best home he could in the time he had, but it was15 .The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to16 .The villagers mourned for him.
Marc17 the winter.Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better. He became a leader in the village,18 a family, and lived a happy, content life.
We all build and improve our own mental homes. It’s19 and fun for us to search for ideas from other mental home owners, but we only improve our own mental home if we actually20 the best ideas.

A successful business man was growing old and wanted to choose a successor to take over the business. He called all the young executives together and said, "I have to 1 and choose the next CEO from you."

Jim went home 6. Everyday, he would water the seed and see 7 it had grown. Although he kept 8 his seed, nothing ever grew. Many weeks went 9, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a 10.

The CEO greeted them. "What great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be13 the next CEO!"
All of a sudden, the CEO 14 Jim at the back with his empty pot. The CEO asked him what had happened - Jim told him the story. He looked at Jim, and then 15, "The next CEO is Jim!"
Jim couldn't believe 16. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. "How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.
Then the CEO said, "The seeds I gave you were boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not 17 for them to grow. Jim was the only one with the courage and 18 to bring me a pot with my seed in it. 19, he is the one who will be the new CEO!"

Secondhand smoke clearly kills people and the only way to control it is to ban smoking in all workplaces, US Surgeon-General Dr Richard Carmona said.
In 1964Surgeon General’s report first laid out the1of smoking. Years later, in another report Dr Richard Carmona2the effects of secondhand smoke and said no one should be forced to inhale it.
“Secondhand smoke causes early death and disease in children and in3who do not smoke,” the report reads. “Children4to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome(综合症), acute respiratory(呼吸道) infections, and ear problems,” it adds.
Smoking by5causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children. A 2005 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that626 died every year in the United States from sudden infant death syndrome-all7by secondhand smoke.
States,8and other local authorities have battled over instituting(制定)smoking bans. Some9, especially bars and restaurants, have said they will lose business if smoking is completely banned. But the report said it is impossible to protect non-smokers even with designated smoking areas, and at least one report from California, which has strict bans, has shown no10on businesses.

The moment I knew my mother had incurable lung cancer, I realized for the first time that time will one day run out for us all.

1, but because I really want to be near her. But making the time to2with my mother has been my greatest3. I have a husband, a four-year-old son and a home to nm. I also hold down a(n)4job as a radio announcer at the BBC.
I arrived at work one day to be told we would be doing a radio series exploring “time poverty”. I’ve5been taken with the idea that we are time-poor. How can I - who have so many labor-saving machines and an only child – have6time than my mother who had six children and no7?
I put this8a professor. He pointed out that it is because I try to keep my home much cleaner than my mother did. I admit I like to9to my friends. My husband says10that I remove all traces (痕迹) of human life11anyone arrives.
The professor said12has become the new religion. We expect work to provide us with a sense of identity and a means to secure our future. And because we13so much time in our working lives, we like to reward ourselves with material things. Frequently, we spend our money before it’s earned.14is an annoying worry, keeping us15to the work treadmill (跑步机).
The same professor suggested we16a Buddhist concept -- to enjoy each moment and activity for its own sake,17try to do lots of things at once. Since then I have been18the art of “living in the moment” whenever I get the chance. I have cleared my schedule of nonessential tasks,19house and garden plans, and turned down some extra work.
It is my mother’s illness, a once-in-a-lifetime event, that sets me20on the fact that we forget that time is a limited resource.
