“That umbrella must have   18 you a great deal of money, Uncle.” I said to him one day.
“No,” he replied, “ 19 ”
“Was it a present?” I asked again.
“No,” said he.
“Then how did you get it?” I asked.
“Well,” he answered, “it is a strange true story. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening   20   it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat and no umbrella. No buses ran through that street and there were no   21  in sight. As I was on my way to a party, I didn't want to get 22 . So I stood at a doorway and waited for the rain to stop. By and by it grew quite 23 .There wasn't a person around, and 24   it rained and rained. 25   a young man came to the place where I was standing, 26    a large umbrella over his head. 27 I hoped he would   28   me to walk to the next corner with him in order that I could get a taxi, I stepped   29   the dark doorway where I had been standing, and said: “ 30 , where are you going with that umbrella?”
31   by my sudden appearance, the young man 32   the umbrella, which, I'm afraid, he had just stolen, ran away, and 33 into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be 34 in this big city to try and discover the owner and so I've kept it   35 .”

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."

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.

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?

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."

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.
