A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.

Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely 　　　　 —$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.

Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches 　　　　 their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should 　　　　 the whole community and last for generations to come.

“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your 39 back. You didn’t wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 40, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

I was so 41 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. 42 I realized that I was outside, with nothing on.

The door inched open and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your 47 about running away?” she asked.

“What’s for supper?” I answered. (277 words)

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   36   down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a   37  part of everyday life and there is no way to   38   it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give   39   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 bear   40   very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such   41   are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first   42  of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between   43  and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the   44   between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction   45   long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have   47   links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.

So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?
