Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy. I'm happy due to many key factors. They include my physical health, healthy finances and my family's happiness.

    Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Good health is not enough to be happy. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life—food, housing, clothing, etc. —but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.

A. My family help me get through pressures and difficulties.

B. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other aspect of one's life.

C. Besides, we can use money to improve our life.

D. We still need money in today's society.

E. Sometimes the amount of money we have is determined by our happiness.

F. These three factors are all I need in this world.

G. Having good health and healthy finances, we can turn our attention to the happiness of our family.

    Recently some American scientists have a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10, 000 years ago.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.So they are called “diseases of civilization”. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.

    Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.

    Arguments happen in every healthy relationship—we know it sounds contradictory, but it's true—but they can still have a negative impact if they aren't handled properly. .{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Take a breath. We know that it can be hard to think clearly when you are angry, so we would first like to encourage you to try to take a second to collect your thoughts before engaging in a dialogue with your partner{#blank#}2{#/blank#}If you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship.

    Take the situation as it is. Even though you are angry and it can be hard to be objective, try to see the situation for what it is. Do not escalate (不断恶化) the argument{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Try to understand the purpose behind the action—if something happened accidentally, you should not treat as if it were done intentionally.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} If you have done something wrong, the best possible option for you is to admit it. Denying something only makes it more hurtful and often your partner will be able to forgive you much more quickly if you are honest.

    Set ground rules. After a fight you and your partner can have a heart-to-heart talk of what happened{#blank#}5{#/blank#} At this point you can set some ground rules for future fights, like not cursing each other or calling each other's names, which might help reduce the intensity of your fights.

    Fighting with someone is never easy. And it's especially difficult when you are arguing with someone that you care about. Thinking carefully and controlling yourself during an argument can help you avoid saying something that could permanently hurt your relationship.

A. Take positive action.

B. Avoid making excuses.

C. Anger can be poisonous.

D. Here is how to maintain good relationship.

E. You can discuss what hurts each of you and how you can move forward.

F. The trick to prevent an argument from destroying your relationship is learning how to fight fair.

G. Ask yourself if this situation is worth arguing about.

    Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.

    For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—{#blank#}2{#/blank#}—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.

    Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—{#blank#}5{#/blank#}—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.

A. be active and practise Yoga

B. There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.

C. and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them

D. physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other

E. they spent most of the time out of doors

F. you are still only half way to good health

G. It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on.

House fires cause many deaths each year.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So, it's important to teach them that fire is a tool, not a toy. Kids must understand that they'd better not play with fire. You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach.

A smoke alarm greatly reduces your chances of being hurt in a fire, especially when you are in your dream. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Also, you ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practice these plans in the dark with your family.

A smoke alarm warns you of the danger. When you hear it, take action immediately. When you come to a closed door, check it with the back of your hand. If it feels hot, there may be smoke or fire behind the door, so take care.  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, call the fire department from a neighbor's house. If a family member or a pet is caught inside, you shouldn't go back in. Firemen know how to perform rescues safely.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working. A smoke alarm lasts about ten years. You ought to change it even if it seems to be working. Every year the fire and rescue service is called to over 600,000 fires, which result in over 800 deaths and over 17,000 injuries. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. Once you are out of your house

B. Make sure of working hours of fire fighters

C. A large number of these fires are set by kids

D. Although your friends know how to put out fire

E. So you should have a smoke alarm outside your bedroom

F. But remember, the alarm can work only if it has enough power

G. Actually most of them can be avoided with working smoke alarms
