A. Name of the same history textbook. B. Benefits of sharing the same textbook. C. The origin of the idea of the same history book. D. The dislike for each other. E. The same history textbook in France and Germany F. Reasons for the hatred between France and Germany . |
High—school students in France and Germany are to learn modern history from the same textbook starting in the 2012 school year. It’s thought that the new book will help the next generation of the French and Germans develop a shared European identity. The book, called “Historie/Geschichte”, the French and German words for history, was co-written by historians from both countries. It will provide students from both sides of the Rhine(莱茵河) with the different explanations of their common history.
The idea for the books came about in 2008, when high school students from both countries celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Elysee Treaty(爱丽舍条约), a friendship agreement signed to show that France and Germany had buried their post—war differences. The students’ suggestion soon got strong support from both governments. “The big lesson is that hatred won’t last forever,” said French Education Minister Gilles de Robien. “This book allows us to create a shared future and build on our past,” he added.
However, the French and Germans both have their own different origins, styles and culture. According to a survey by leading French newspaper Le Figaro (费加罗报),the French regard Germans as being highly disciplined and hard-working, while the Germans see the French as proud and shallow. So they don’t like each other.
Conflicts between France and Germany have been existing over the years. The defeated power was robbed of its resources. Things were at the top in the two world wars, which further damaged relations. Many people lost their families, and hatred increased. Europe was seriously damaged by the conflicts.
The wars’ bitter lessons told the two powers that they needed to unite in order to rise to their feet. Now France and Germany have put an end to their age-old rivalry(敌对状态),and they try to work together as the engines driving Europe forward. “The book is another milestone in Franco-German relations,” Peter Miler, a German official said. He said that it’s the first time that two nations have sat down and written history together. “If France and Germany can do it, why shouldn’t other countries follow suit?”

Building Healthy Interpersonal Relationships
.
Human beings are social creatures and thrive(茁壮成长) in relationships with others. A healthy part to being a well rounded, happy individual is engaging in healthy relationships with others. These friendships can provide safe environments in which individuals can thrive and help promote general well-being. Building healthy interpersonal relationships requires a willingness to work and participate in the growth of the friendships.
.
One of the first steps to build healthy interpersonal relationships is understanding one’s value. When an individual is aware of and treasures what she or he has to offer any relationship, the building of relationships can be founded on that knowledge. Everyone has worth. Everyone has talents. When this worth is discovered, a person can then use these skills in approaching interpersonal relationships.
.
Along with understanding one’s worth is recognizing and understanding the worth of others. In a healthy interpersonal relationship, both parties should be respected and feel as if they are valued in the friendship. At the point that contributions to the relationship become one-sided,resentment(怨恨) can begin and the relationship will move from healthy to unhealthy.
.
Also, 1iving within the same value systems and lifestyles can provide a link of familiarity on which the friendship can grow. Trust also can develop from these similarities and goes a long way in developing a healthy friendship. Therefore,it is necessary to seek out individuals with the same value systems and lifestyles to build healthy relationships. Not knowing whether or not a friend will lead an individual into dangerous situations or behave in ways that cause trouble can place stress on friendships.
____________________.
A healthy interpersonal relationship cannot be built on dishonesty. Individuals must always behave in ways that are true to the person they are. Attracting people into relationships with dishonesty can have results that are not healthy. One may begin to feel fooled into a friendship if a friend turns out to be a different person than he first showed himself to be.
A. Know your worth. B. Be true to yourself. C. Recognize the value in others. D. Value and develop a healthy relationship. E. The importance of interpersonal relationships. F. Look for individuals with similar value systems. |
A. Take Action.
B. Expect Nothing.
C. Bear Responsibility.
D.Stop Seeking Excitement.
E. Chase an idea of happiness.
F. Stop Chasing and Start Living.
Five Ways To Stay Happy No Matter What Happens
Most people have no control over their emotional well-being. They feel happy when good things happen and depressed when things go wrong. Their lives are roller coaster rides: sometimes up, sometimes way down. But what if you could be happy no matter what happens? You’d stay calm when your car breaks down and your boss shouts at you. You’d stop feeling lonely when there’s no one to talk to on a rainy day. You’d never lose sleep over a relationship that isn’t working out. If being in command of your emotional state sounds good, take charge of your life with these 5 easy tips.
_____________Many people feel they need something – more money, new clothes, better relationships – to make them happy. They think: “If only I had that other thing, I would be complete”. Instead of enjoying life, they chase a vague idea of happiness. But even when you get everything that’s supposed to make you happy, life will have ups and downs. Today your car breaks down; tomorrow you pull your calf muscle. If you look hard enough, you’ll always find reasons to be miserable. So stop chasing; start living. Wanting more is fine, but don’t forget to relax and enjoy life for what it is – in the present.
_____________We often blame other people, circumstances and even objects for our problems. “I’m this way because my dad didn’t love me enough”; “I hate my stupid car for breaking down all the time.” But life is full of different people and situations: some are good and some are bad. Unless you bear responsibility for your life, you’ll always be at the mercy of those circumstances. Instead of blaming others for what’s wrong in your life, focus on what you can do to make things better. Never sulk and try not to feel sorry for yourself too often. It’s your responsibility to make yourself happy: nobody else’s.
_____________We live in a world of endless excitement. Between movies, video games and the internet, something exciting is always going on. Sometimes, this makes us feel bored and restless when we run out of stuff to do. If you want to be happy, overcome this addiction. Develop the ability to enjoy life in its entirety – even when the excitement stops. Appreciate the sky you see on your way to work each day. Cherish each moment you spend with the people you love. Save every bite of food you get to eat. Enjoying every experience will give you many new reasons to be happy.
_____________It is the logical consequence of bearing responsibility for your life. When you want to lose weight – start jogging. Someone’s being rude to you? Tell them to stop. If you’re unhappy with your job, start looking for a new one. Get behind the steering wheel of your own life! This site has plenty of advice that will help you take action the smart way. Educate yourself and commit to find happiness no matter what it takes. With enough hard work and dedication, you really can create the life you want.
_____________We expect others to treat us better than we treat them. We work out a few times and stress because we don’t instantly look like models. We want to live like rockstars, ignoring the fact that only a few people reach that level of success. In short, we tend to have unreasonable expectations. The difference between what we feel entitled(给……权利) to and what we actually get is the source of much misery. Accept life in its entirety; stop thinking in terms of what should be and accept what is. When you live without entitlement, every good thing becomes a wonderful surprise. Even better, expecting nothing means never being disappointed.
At the end of the day, bad things will happen to you. You will have highs, lows and lots of mediums in your life. You’re only human, just like everybody else. But follow the 5 tips in this post and you’ll be well on your way to staying happy – no matter what happens.
Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences.
____

When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.__ _
