It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we...

It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But this idea has been completely backward. 1. We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

Do we really have no time? “I don’t have time, ”often means “It’s not a priority (优先事项). ”Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch (延展)to accommodate what we choose to put into it. No one will leave the broken water heater aside. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; 2. Actually, it’s a matter of choice.

How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What three to five things did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into next year’s performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on in the next year. 3.

4. Scientists find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call a “low opportunity cost” time. Most of us are not sitting there on Friday afternoons saying, “I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now. ”But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time Friday afternoon, and make ourselves a three-category priority list:career, relationships, self.

It’s about looking at the whole of one’s time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 5. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we’ve got.

A. it’s that I’m too busy for it.

B. it’s that I don’t want to do it.

C. When do we plan our priorities?

D. Make sure there’s time for the important things.

E. We don’t build the lives we want by saving time.

F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.

G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.

How to Live a Happy Life

Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. 1. Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long-lasting happiness.

• Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body.2. Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.

• 3. Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症). On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement.

• Challenge Yourself.4. Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.

• Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter.5.

A. Life is always full of hope.

B. Spend time with friends and family.

C. However, sometimes it seems far away from us.

D. It would be better if you take exercise in nature.

E. Do something kind for the people you care about.

F. Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.

G. Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot.

The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback. Modern holistic medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient, not just the disease. It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness. The most important influences on today’s holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, both of which promoted whole body health.

Holistic medicine usually combines diet, physical exercise and meditation, together with other alternative techniques such as massage(按摩) and acupuncture(针炙). Herbal treatment, a practice of treating illness by using plants, is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Homeopathy(顺势疗法) is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA. Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s, when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses(剂量) of a drug had an effect on his patients. According to Hahnemann, the more the drug was diluted(稀释), the stronger its effects. The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses. In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment.

Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine. They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs. Transcendental meditation(超脱静坐) is one of the best known of these techniques. People repeat words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation.

The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient, not just the disease. Life-style, emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person’s health. Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet, exercise and fresh air, all of which contribute to health. Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments, so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them. One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable. To solve this, many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.

41．Modern holistic medicine centres upon        .

A．curing a disease                                                        B．herbal treatment

C．continuous development                                  D．keeping patients healthy

43．The principle of homeopathy is that        .

A．the large doses of medicine that will not be harmful will take better effect

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

1. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

C. they are travelling fast all the time

D. they are becoming busier with their work

2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his _______.

A. not fearing stress

B. knowing the art of relaxation

C. high sense of responsibility

D. having control over performance

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Stress is always harmful to people

B. We can find some ways to avoid stress

C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress

4.In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.

A." expose ourselves to stress"

B. "find ways to deal with stress"

C." remove stress from our lives"

D. "established links between diseases and stress"
