举一反三
Real stnartness must be something that can be practised repeatedly and infinitely. Then, he goes on to relate
this event: In one European country there resided some Lebanese. Upon learning that ambulance rides there
are provided free to patients in emergency cases, they rented an apartment near a hospital. Each time they
wanted to go home, they just pretended to be sick, calling for an ambulance. On arrival at the hospital, they
said now that they felt much better and had no need of any treatment. The next moment saw them leaving,
safe and sound, to their apartment.
Their "being-clever" affords them only short-lived pleasure and joy; it could not he practised repeatedly,
still less infinitely. Such smartness is based on "too clever to be wise". Once seen through, they will lose the
benefits they profited by playing dirty tricks. They will suffer the impairment of their own image and reputation
as well as that of those who are tied with them by blood or by common interests.
When a person has done something to the discredit of one"s own image and reputation, it will surely involve
others related to him in one way or another. Among those inflicted most hy what folly (愚蠢) he may have
done are those who, to him, have been close in relations and dear in sentiment.
Additionally, whether one"s act is wise or unwise, rather the summit of wisdom, depends on the result of
the act; if _____, then the more often he does it, the better will he be believed. While repeating that act, he is
not only earning himself an admirable image but also contributing to the fine impression and reputation of his
relatives, his friends, his hometown and his motherland.

民) came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the
Protestant Work Ethic (道德规范), still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic
benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological need the feeling of doing something for the good of
the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work
defines them: they are what they do. What happens then, when a person can no longer work? Almost all
Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life
in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of
course, _____; but leaving one"s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to
retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without their jobs.
Retirements can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month.
During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government.
Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money
as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing
very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans
to make ends meet. The rate of inflation (通货膨胀)is forcing prices higher each year. Social Security checks
alone cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance, medicare and welfare,
but many senior citizens have to change their life styles after retirement. They have top spend carefully to be
sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other necessities.
American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its
senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new
housing,offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services such as free
courses, food service, and help with housework.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues
to grow.
"We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn"t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like
many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very
high. The Rosses took a 2-week course (课程) for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture
and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking
factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I"ve finished
a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save
money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to
DIY classes. And for those who don"t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can
do things yourself.
B. have to learn to make their own furniture
C. take DIY courses run by the government
D. seldom go to a department store to buy things
B. make or repair things
C. save time and money
D. improve the quality of life
B. does extra work at night
C. does his own car and home repairs
D. keeps house and looks after his children
B. the car repair class was not helpful
C. he could not possibly do two jobs
D. he had to raise the children all by himself
B. You Can Do It Too!
C. Welcome to Our DIY Course!
D. Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY
reduce its effect when it can"t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the
following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure (压力) through exercise or
physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis and working in your garden are just some of the activities
you might try.
Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep
well enough, or if you"re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.
If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time (确定时间) for both work and entertainment. Don"t forget, play can be just as important
to your well-being (幸福) as work. You need a break from your daily routine (日常事务) to just relax and
have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do
something you enjoy.
Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there"s so much to do,and not enough time".
Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve
anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then _____, check off each task as it is
completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.

you"re dead."
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths (谬论) about safety belts ever since their first appearance m cars some
forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It"s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough
to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you"ll have traveled through a wind-shield (挡风玻璃)
or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in
cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
B. He was running across the street.
C. He didn"t have his safety belt on.
D. He didn"t take his medicine on time.
B. hated to drive in the dark
C. wanted to take some exercise
D. didn"t want to be caught by the police
B. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D. may get caught in the car door
B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C. they will be caught when help comes
D. cars catch fire easily
B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C. Never forget to wear a safety belt while driving.
D. Drive slowly while you"re not wearing a safety belt.
