"I've been writing a book, John. Do you think anyone would be interested in   36  it?" said the old lady.
John took over the   37  from her shaking hand and   38   her in a chair. He remembered her rich   39  in the early days of the Old West. He looked through the papers. "It's good, Grandma." He said gently. Then realizing that she couldn't hear him, he shouted   40  her ears. “I think it's very good. I'll   41   it to a publisher."
Ten days later, he reported that the   42  had had time to read only a few pages. But he was so   43   that he had sent $100 for an option（版权）.   44   money would be given as an advance（先付）.
One morning, three months after her 100th birthday, Grandma didn't get up. The doctor told her that she couldn't   45  more than a few days. She was   46   to go, but she first wanted her book to be in print. John promised that she   47  get the book very soon.
Grandma   48  on until the day the book came into her hands, with the title and her name on the cover. Though she couldn't see it, she could   49  it. She   50   felt her name with her fingers, tears in her eyes. Two hours later, she died   51 , still holding her book.
Her granddaughter took up the book and opened it. "Why, it's just blank（空白的）pages!" she cried in   52  John's face turned red. Then the girl understood. There never was a book. Grandma couldn't   53   the little bell when the typewriter came to the end of the line. She would keep on working, not knowing the whole sentences and sometimes the paragraphs were   54 . John did not tell her, for he couldn't take away her only   55 . It was John himself who had written the letters and sold his car to pay the advance.

Once again, science supports what your grandmother told you: A good night's sleep helps your body fight a cold.
People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per   1   in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times  2   likely to get sick as those who  3   eight hours or more, a new study found.
Researchers used frequent telephone  4   to track the sleep  5   of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they  6   the subjects to the virus, quarantined them for five days and kept  7   of who got sick.
8   sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to  9   the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure  10   as 'sleep efficiency' - the percentage of time in bed that you're actually sleeping - were also  11   likely to get sick.
The results held  12   even after researchers  13   for variables such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies to the  14   .
15   your grandmother, the researchers aren't exactly sure  16   sleeping better makes you less likely to  17   a cold. But they  18    take a stab at the answer: 'Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines（促炎细胞因子）, histamines, and other symptom mediators that are released in response to infection.' In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you're  19   with the cold virus  20   to the symptoms that define a cold.
The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Like poorly managed stress, anger that isn’t handled in a healthy way can be not only uncomfortable, but even damaging to one’s health and personal life. Consider the following research on anger:
One study from the University of Washington School of Nursing studied   1   problems in husbands and wives. Researchers cited(引用) previous evidence that anger problems and depressive symptoms have been linked to all major  2   of death, but found that wives specifically found a greater association between anger and  3   of depression,  4   men tended to instead experience an  5   between anger and health problems.
According to a study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger  6   to heal more slowly from wounds. Researchers gave blisters(起疱膏) to 98 participants and found that, after 8 days, those who had less control over their anger also tended to be  7   healers.   8   , those participants also tended to have more cortisol (a stress hormone) in their system during the blistering procedure,  9   that they may be more stressed by difficult situations as well.
10   study from Harvard School of Public Health studied hostility(敌对行为) in men and found that those with  11   rates of hostility not only had poorer pulmonary functioning (breathing problems), but experienced higher rates of decline as they aged.
Research with children and  12   shows that anger  13   is important for the younger set as well. Findings showed that youth who cope inappropriately with their anger are at greater  14   for problem-ridden(受…支配的) interpersonal relationships. Their  15   is also at risk; those who cope poorly with anger tend to have more negative  16   when it comes to both mental and general health. This highlights the fact that anger management is an important skill to  17   early.
These are just a few of the many studies linking anger to  18   and emotional health problems, from the obvious to the  19   . Because poorly managed anger presents such a significant problem in so many areas of life, it’s important to take steps toward learning and using healthy anger management techniques in daily life,   20   stress management techniques.

Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't   1   it to be blue - the name has nothing to   2   the color of our closest celestial（天体） neighbor.
A full moon   3   on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.
"If you're in Times Square, you'll see the   4   moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.
The New Year's Eve blue moon will be   5   in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up 6   New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.
However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse（月蚀） on New Year's Eve when 7   of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The   8   will not be visible in the Americas.
A full moon occurs   9   29.5 days, and most years have 12. 10 , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The  11   time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't 12    again until 2028.
Blue moons have no astronomical  13   , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"`Blue moon' is just a  14   in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.
The popular definition of blue moon  15   after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer's Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar  16   a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.
Though Sky & Telescope corrected the 17   decades later, the definition caught on. For purists（语言纯正癖者）, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a  18   moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.
In a tongue-in-cheek essay  19   on the magazine's Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I'm   20 celebrating, I'll take a peek（眯着眼睛看） at that brilliant orb（天体） as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it's an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I'll just howl."

Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times 1 , cost-conscious workouts（锻炼）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed 2 by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as 3 boot camp（强力集中训练） and circuit training.
"People are looking 4 for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little 5 time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this 6 year the majority of the respondents put 7 it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness 8 professionals responded to the annual poll 9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures 10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training 11 classes and in-home workouts 12 using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs 13 . Working with two to four clients at a 14 time they can charge less 15 but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn 16 calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受压制的） consumers 17 seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up 18 in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong 19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase 20 in the coming year.

Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children, but experts now have identified a related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke。
That's the term being   1   to describe the invisible yet poisonous mixture of gases and particles(颗粒) clinging(依附) to smokers' hair and   2 , not to mention cushions and carpeting, that stays long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The remaining   3 heavy metals, carcinogens(致癌物) and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and take in,   4 if they're crawling or playing on the floor。
Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term "third-hand smoke" to   5 these chemicals in a new study that   6 on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in the 7 issue of the journal Pediatrics。
"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, 8 they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。
"When their kids are   9 the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and   10 , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 11 . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 12 ."
The study reported on 13 toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were   14 that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers 15 with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can   16 the health of infants and children"。
But   17 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 18 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room   19 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 20 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke。
