I try to mind my manners and 4   listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day．On this day, however, her conversation was worth listening to．
"My father’s sick," she said to no one in 5 ．I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes．With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, "What’s wrong with him?"
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from   6 the tears, she responded, "Heart trouble．" Her eyes   7 as she continued．"I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can   8 losing him．”
I couldn’t respond．I was 9 ．My heart ached for her．I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great   10 my own mother was thrown into when my father died．
I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her．I wouldn’t like anyone to go through that．Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver．That was just her job．She had a whole world of family and concerns too．I had never thought of her as anything but a 11   ．I suddenly felt very   12 ．I realized I had only thought of people as   13 as what their purposes were in my life．I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver．1 had judged her by her job and regarded her as unimportant．
For all I know, I’m just another person in someone else’s world, and may not even be important．I should not have been so selfish and self-centered．Everyone   14 a place to go to, people to see and appointments to   15 ．Understanding people is an art．

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?

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.

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."
