One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their   37
for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated（带插图的）books.
According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be   48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel   49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the“small people”in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are   52 for us.
In spite of his new 53 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 54 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than money and fame could 55 .

This trip is not only about pushing our limits, 17     about looking for adventure, said Nan. "It's also a testament to being adults, and part of a new generation of college students."
Now in Hainan, Nan's team is pedaling 18     in T-shirts and shorts, shedding some of the 19     they gained during the fall semester, and strengthening the bond of their friendships. Said Nan: "We now know each other more than we used to, even 20     months of living together."

What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite    1   to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer  2  ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of  3   the lines? Fear of being judged  4   ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures（使现出） up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the  5   or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of  6   . For the most part, math anxiety is the  7   about doing the math right, our minds draw a  8   and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the  9   the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems from   10 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 11    poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math  12   . Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much  13   , the math is quickly forgotten and  14   soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions（小部分）. You probably learned about reciprocals（倒数） and inverses. In other words, 'It's not yours to reason why, just invert（反转） and multiply'（乘）. Well, you memorized the rule and it  15   . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulative（巧妙处理的） to show you why it works? If  16   , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures --  17   if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good  18   will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students  19   they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important  20   to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be  1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it    2   .
Research is preliminary, but several studies   3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial  4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define    5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines  6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated    7 .
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send  8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the    9 start to shut down.
Even for people who  10   , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —  11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,    12 in a single bout.
That wasn't  13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting     14   a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.
"I'm sure there are some detrimental  16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being    17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be   18 dangerous."
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat  19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to   20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
