The inhalation (吸入) of asbestos particles is associated with a number of lung diseases, such as asbestosis and ___50___ cancer.
Asbestosis is caused by the entry of asbestos particles into the wall of the alveoli, causing scarring which limits the functioning of the lungs. The lung ___51___ its elasticity and may change shape. The initial symptoms of asbestosis are a tightness in the chest and breathlessness. In its ___52___ stages, sufferers develop the barrel-shaped chests associated with emphysema, cyanosis, (where the skin takes a bluish ___53___ ) and club fingers.
Lung cancer, the generic ___54___ for malignant tumors（肿瘤）of the alveoli and bronchial tubes, has been shown to be directly ___55___ to the inhalation of asbestos particles. As in the case of asbestosis, there is generally a period of inactiveness which may ___56___ from 25 to 30 years after initial exposure, despite the ___57___of further exposure. Research suggests that there is a direct correlation between the degree of exposure to asbestos ___58___the incidence of lung cancer. Where exposure occurs, the level of risk is further ___59___ by cigarette smoking. Asbestos workers who smoke cigarettes have a 90% greater risk of catching lung cancer than workers who do not ___60___.
Exposure to blue asbestos has been shown to producemesothelioma, a rare cancer of the outer lining of the lung or pleura. In a normal population the incidence of mesothelioma is extremely ___61___. Where epidemiological surveys have revealed a higher incidence of the disease, it is almost always related to ___62___ exposure.
___63___ changes in lung tissue caused by exposure to asbestos are pleural plaques and effusions.

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver，impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 36 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his 39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started 41 at us．
My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really 43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 46 ．Don't take it personally；Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on．
Believe me．You'll be 47 ．Don't take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life's too short to wake up in he morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's 50 in your life，Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more ofter than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you 52 them more frequently．
Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don't．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 53 it!
When you follow“The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

About five years ago I began to study at a new school, when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little 1 ,wondering whether I could get on well with my classmates.
Lucy, a girl in my 2 , who I thought wasn’t ready to accept a 3 girl, didn’t like me from the start. 4 ,I was pretty sure she hated me. When I asked her a question, I could __5__ she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us 6 next to each other for the last term. Lucy was not happy. However, I kept 7 at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her that she was beautiful.
Finally, Lucy let me 8 to her, even when her friends were around. She ___9___ telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember the ___10___ time when she smiled at me and said that, and I smiled right back, saying 11 to her. One day Lucy invited me over to her house, and talked to me all the time 12 her other friends. That day Lucy , the girl who had hated me, called me her best deskmate. After that, we 13 friends for years.
I moved to Arizona later, but I will never 14 Lucy. I still remember she considered me her 15 at first. During that time it felt like I was 16 my time, and losing my dignity(尊严)，but I still smiled at Lucy even when she 17 me. I’m not stupid; I didn’t think she was 18 in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And finally we became great friends.
Not long ago, I read the 19 of Abraham Lincoln, “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” I smiled, thinking of Lucy. It just 20 me how great a friend I used to have.

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 36 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 37 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 38 . But I jumped up, ran up the 39 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 40 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 41 security guards and take me from the stage? 42 my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any 43 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 44 to come to us. We must take 45 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I 46 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 47 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 48 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 49 . As I sat down at my computer to 50 my e-mails, I 51 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 52 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 53 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 54 way. So we don’t try. We 55 . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
