A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a 　　 , “Each of us will write a list of things we find a bit 　　 with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can 　　 them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their 　 .

“I’ll start,” said the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.

“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“ 　 reading your list.”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three 　　 to her husband.

“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.

When you buy fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from？You might think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly International. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower be exported and sold thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.

The Netherlands handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. And its auction houses（拍卖行）are very large---Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is auction house in the sense that Tokyo is a city, or Everest a mountain. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen million flowers are sold here on an average day.

The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a great amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.

There are also many other places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador’s roses are famous for their large heads and long, straight stems（茎）. Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios.” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.

To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower said her father had predicted the situation in the 1980s. “I see a train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”

1.What do we know about Aalsmeer?

A.Flowers from Ecuador are beautiful.

B.Ecuador could grow even more flowers.

C.The flower trade in Ecuador benefits the local.

D.Rose-picking is a very popular job in Ecuador.

A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do －one was to make her bed－from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my idea.

Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years－and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”

This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破). One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade – offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.

So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. The point is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.

1.What is the solution to the problem of managing time?

A．Doing more exercises every day.       B．Taking time to visit friends regularly.

C．Stopping making bed occasionally.    D．Doing what you want to do first.

2.What does the word “beaming” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Worrying    B．Smiling       C．Depressed          D．Luckily

3.What is the major problem of most people managing time?

A．Most people do not take care of their health.

B．Most people put others’ needs ahead of their own.

C．Most people cannot keep balance on managing time.

D．Most people do not take time to relax themselves.

4.What is the author’s attitude toward people’s problems in the passage?

A．Matter – of – fact.  B．Negative.  C．Indifferent.                  D．Worried.
