During the past hundred years, the railway, the car, the radio, the cinema and now the TV, have produced very 1 changes in the amusement (娱乐活动) with which people pass their 2 time.
A hundred years 3 , people were in the habit of making their own amusements. When a group of people 4 together, they talked, played cards or other games, read aloud to each other, or went out riding, shooting or walking. Most people could sing a little or play 5, so at a party the guests amused each other. Above all, conversation was an art. Amusing conversation could 6 people happy for hours.
As for games, 7 football and tennis, people were also in the habit of playing them themselves. Most of them did not play very well, 8 they amused themselves and their friends. Nowadays we are amused 9 professional (专业的) singers or players. 10 listen to your friends singing when you can hear the great singers of the world over the radio or on TV? What about playing football with players who 11 very good at it when you can see some of the best players playing an important match? You may just sit comfortably 12 and watch the game without the trouble of going outside.
The art of conversation and the habit of playing and singing are dying. People are becoming more and more lookers and listeners, and 13 doers and talkers. This change does more 14 to people than good. It is better to do something not very well oneself than 15 to sit and watch others doing it.

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.

What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or   1   , your melody music.
An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary   2   melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.
Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your   3   .
Think of your life as a   4   sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is    5   to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a   6   , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.
So where to   7   ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right   8   , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.
Be really   9   in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.
10   situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger
and pride. They are all   11   of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.
12   has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13   to rid them from your own life.
Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.
Everything you do has an   14   on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15   or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
Take time to   16   other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives,   17   them to have a brighter outlook.
Throughout the world most people are striving for   18   .
From the family unit   19    around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.
So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to   20   a harmonious Universe.

Romance does not have to fizzle out（失败） in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier   1 .
"Many believe that  2 love is the same as passionate（多情的）love," said lead researcher Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD, then at Stony Brook University (currently at University of California, Santa Barbara). "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component（过度成分）. Passionate or obsessive love includes  3 of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love   4 drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones."
These findings  5 in the March issue of Review of General Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.
Acevedo and co-researcher Arthur Aron, PhD, reviewed 25 studies with 6,070 individuals in short- and long-term relationships to   6 whether romantic love is associated with more satisfaction. To determine this, they   7 the relationships in each of the studies as romantic, passionate (romantic with obsession) or friendship-like love and categorized them as long- or short-term.
The researchers looked at 17 short-term relationship studies, which included 18- to 23-year-old college students who were  8 , dating or married, with the average relationship lasting less than four years. They also  9 at 10 long-term relationship studies including middle-aged couples who were typically married 10 years or more. Two of the  10 ncluded both long- and short-term relationships in which it was possible to distinguish the two samples.
The review found that those who reported greater romantic love were more  11 in both the short- and long-term relationships. Companion-like love was only moderately   12 with satisfaction in both short- and long-term relationships. And those who reported greater passionate love in their relationships were more satisfied in the short term   13 to the long term.
Couples who reported more satisfaction in their relationships also  14 being happier and having higher self-esteem.
Feeling that a partner is "there for you"  15 or a good relationship, Acevedo said, and facilitates（促进） feelings of romantic love. On the other hand, "feelings of insecurity are generally associated with  16 satisfaction, and in some   17 may spark conflict in the relationship. This can manifest（表白） into obsessive love," she said.
This discovery may change people's  18 of what they want in long-term relationships. According to the authors, companionship love, which is what many couples see as the natural  19 of a successful relationship, may be an unnecessary compromise(妥协). "Couples should strive for love with all the trimmings（修剪）," Acevedo said. "And couples who've been together a long time and wish to get back their romantic edge should know it is an attainable（可达到的） goal that, like most good things in life,  20 energy and devotion."

Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the   1   of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
'What?'  2   one participant. 'Those guys have to be lying.'
There is no reliable  3   of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the  4   spender.
A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the  5   . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.
About half the respondents（受调查者） inherited（.继承） their  6   , a quarter  7   it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it  8   . That is roughly in line with other surveys of  9   women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than  10   a salary.
As for  11   , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly  12   they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as  13   and splash（泼洒得使到处是） their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having  14    effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly（挥霍） to  15   a bad example.
At the same time, 70% of the women said they 'buy nice things when  16   .' And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making  17   on major purchases, which  18   that they do a lot of the big spending.
Of course, for truly major purchases a house in Aspen, Colo., a Gulfstream, a Feadship the couple probably makes the decision  19   .
But what about other  20   ? Do you think men or women do most of the high-end spending?
