As you are receiving my note by e-mail, it’s wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.
Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor(屏幕), let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
DEAREST WIFE: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW.

It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

What is a correct way to take medicine? Reading the question you might think it ridiculous.Actually, how to take medicine means a lot.Knowing it will not only help you preserve the full benefit of your valuable medicine, but also save yourself from potential side effects.For many reasons, no prescription or over-the-counter(非处方的)drug is 100 percent effective in all people or situations.To preserve the full benefit of your medicine, experts say to follow these key steps:
Ask doctors for help.Discuss drug effectiveness with a doctor before getting a prescription.The doctor can help you explain effectiveness data in product instructions.You can also consult a chemist when buying over-the-counter medications.
Store drugs properly.For instance, never store aspirin in the bathroom or the refrigerator.That^s because aspirin, like other drugs, can lose effectiveness in damp conditions.Most prescription drugs today come with special storage instructions.Also, some drugs, such as the antibiotic tetracycline, become ineffective when they are exposed to sunlight.
Do you know how long you should use a certain medicine? Our human body is very smart.It doesn't like any foreign chemical.That's why the body builds up tolerance to many drugs, such as some sleeping pills, and pain medications.If a drug that once was effective no longer seems to help you, consult a doctor before you want to increase the amount of it.
Cutting a sustained-release(药效持久的)pill can make a drug ineffective or even dangerous.That's because too large a dose of a medicine will be distributed quickly.Also avoid emptying capsules into drinks, say coca cola, milk, juice or food like porridge and soup.So take the pill in a correct way.
Do you know when to use medicine? You are advised to use medicine at the right time of the day.The instruction of the medicine Renova recommends applying the product at night.The active drug can be destroyed by sunlight.Also, applying two medicines to your skin at the same time might make them both ineffective.Taking drugs at recommended times, such as before meals, can increase absorption.
Some people may store medicine they bought years ago.In actual fact, over time, many drugs experience chemical changes.So pay attention to expiration(截止)dates listed on labels or ask your chemist a drug ^ s shelf life.Don ^ t hesitate to throw old pills if possible.
As you can see, taking medicine correctly is very important for many reasons, so make sure you follow these tips.

F.Think about the advantages and disadvantages
1
We've all been hurt by another person at some time or another-we were treated badly, trust was broken and hearts were hurt.And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain continues for too long.We experience the pain over and over, and hate a hard time letting go.This causes problems.It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract(使分心)us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up to new things and people We get trapped in a cycle of anger and hurt, and miss out on the beauty of life as it happens.We need to learn to let go.We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy.It's not easy, but you can learn to do it.
2
What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person? With others? Does it affect work or family? Does it stop you from realizing, your dreams, or becoming a better person? Does it make you unhappy? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change.Then think of the benefits of forgiveness-how it will make you happier, free you from the past and improve things with your relationships and life in general.
3
Try to understand why the person did what he did.What could he have been thinking, and what could have happened to him in the past to make him do what he did? What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying what he did is right, but are instead trying to Understand.
4
Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened.What could you have done to prevent it, and how can you prevent it from happening next time? This isn't to say you are taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims but participants in life.
5
As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing.Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.
