I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 36 him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 38 for a 17-year-old. Then, on Day three, as we were 39 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 40 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized （着迷）. He couldn’t stop 41 . Later he said 42. “I wish I could speak French.” I was 43－this from a boy who hated and 44 French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he 45 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
46 , the moment that really took 47 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was 48 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 49 . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and 50 to become part of the leadership of the 51 .
Learning her story, Barrett was as 52 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 53 of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 54 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This 55 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18^th birthday. He’ll be a man.

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.

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."
