There are two primarily choices in life: to accept conditions {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. Many people are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (constant) waiting for their life to start. They always say, “When I am older I will do this.” {#blank#}3{#/blank#} “In a few years, I will do that.” They think the life they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (experience) is boring and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (mean). Who has never viewed himself or herself as worthless and unattractive?

    All of us may suffer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (depress) and frustration, lose guidance and support, and need aids physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Just think like this way: This too shall pass. Horrible feelings I am feeling will eventually go away. I need to stop feeling so sorry for myself and actually want to change. I am {#blank#}7{#/blank#} incredibly lucky person {#blank#}8{#/blank#} has come from a family who love and support my whole life. I had to be the one {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (make) the decision to change my way of thinking. All the good things and all the wonderful people in my life would pass eventually too. While I am feeling miserable, my life is still going on and I am missing out on appreciating those precious {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (moment).

    Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant(木材商), and he got it. The pay was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(real) good and so were the work conditions.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bring) 18 trees. "Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way". Very {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(motivate) by the boss's words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder. But he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. "I must be losing my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(strong), " the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(say) that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you sharpened your axe? " the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(try) to cut trees. "

    Spring is coming. Everything is waking from its winter sleep. The fields {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(dress) in a fresh robe of green. The wild flowers begin to peep forth(隐隐露出). Birds sing among the trees, and begin to get their nests ready {#blank#}2{#/blank#} summer. Men are now sowing seeds in the fields. The days are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(warm), for brighter sunshine has come again. Everything is full of life and joy.

    We've all turned to sad music to make us feel {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (good)at some point in our lives, but why does doubling down on the sadness help drag us out of the mire(泥沼)？

    A new study sheds light on what's going on inside our brains {#blank#}2{#/blank#}we match our music to our feelings. It looks like sad music can be enjoyable -rather than {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(simple) depressing- because it triggers positive memories that can help to lift our mood. Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be)two groups of possible{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (explain)for why we enjoy listening to sad music like this: one from social psychology, and one from cognitive neuroscience(认知神经学).

    In terms of social psychology, one way of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(think) about this is that we feel much better about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we) if we focus on someone who's doing even worse, a process known as downward social comparison. Everything's going to be okay, because this person {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(have) an even worse day than you are.

    Another theory from social psychology is that people like to listen {#blank#}9{#/blank#} music that mirrors the tone of their current life circumstances -the songs act as {#blank#}10{#/blank#}sort of tuning fork(音叉) for our own situations and they resonate(共鸣) with us

    The Internet is an amazing information resource. Students, teachers, and researchers use it as {#blank#}1{#/blank#} investigative tool. Journalists use it to find information for stories. Doctors use it to learn more about unfamiliar {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (disease) and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (late) medical development. Ordinary people use it for shopping, banking, bill-paying, and communicating with family and friends. People all over the world use it to connect with individuals from {#blank#}4{#/blank#}countries and cultures. However, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}there are many positive developments {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(associate) with the Internet, there are also certain fears and concerns. One concern relates to a lack of control over{#blank#}7{#/blank#} appears on the Internet. With television and radio there are editors to check the accuracy or appropriateness of the content of programs, and with television there are {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(restrict) on what kinds of programs can  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (broadcast) and at what times of the day. With the Internet, parents cannot check a published guide to determine what is suitable {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their children to see.
