I don't know what's your opinion about mountains.
It was only in the eighteenth century 
people in Europe began to 
that mountains were beautiful. 
that time, mountains were feared by the people 
on the plain, especially by the city people, 
they were wild and 
places 
one was easily 
or killed by terrible animals.
Slowly, however, 
people 
comfortably in the towns began to grow 
them. They began to feel 
looking for wild excitement, as their attention turned from the man-made town to the 
country; and to places 
dangerous and wild. So high mountains began to be 
for a holiday.
Then, mountain-climbing began to grow popular 
To some people, there is something 
about getting to the 
of a high mountain: a struggle against nature is finer than a battle 
other human beings. And after a difficult climb, what a 
reward it is to look down on everything within sight.

My husband hasn't stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It's _1 now but it wasn't at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I __2__ a rest before catching the train, so I bought a __3__ and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long __4___ to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to __5__ a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the ___6__ seat. It was one of those __7__ young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright__8__ at the front, not so unusual these days. What did __9__ me was he'd started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed(恼火). However, to avoid trouble-then really I was rather uneasy about him-I just __10__ down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me __11___ . Then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly ___12___ it. Still I didn't want to start an argument. When he took a __13__ piece, I felt more __14__ than annoyed. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece. "And I __15__ it.
The boy gave me a __16__ look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman's mad!" Everyone __17__ . That really made me feel silly, but it was __18__ when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red-as red as his hair when I
__19__ I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate he'd been taking. There was mine, __20__ , just under my newspaper.

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.

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.

Are you a social butterfly, or do you prefer being at the edge of a group of friends? Either way, your genes and evolution may play a major 1 , US researchers reported on Monday.
While it may come as no surprise that genes may help explain 2 some people have many friends and others have 3 , the researchers said, their findings go just a little farther than that.
"Some of the things we find are 4 uncommon," said Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University in Massachusetts, who helped 5 the study.
"We find that how interconnected your friends are 6 on your genes. Some people have four friends who know each other and some people have four friends who don't 7 each other. 8 Dick and Harry know each other depends on Tom's 9 ," Christakis said in a telephone interview.
Christakis and colleague James Fowler of the University of California San Diego are 10 known for their studies that show obesity, smoking and happiness spread in networks.
For this study, they and Christopher Dawes of UCSD used national data that 11 more than 1,000 identical(同卵的) and fraternal（异卵的） twins’ genes. Because 12 share an environment, these studies are good for showing the impact that genes have 13 various things, because identical twins 14 all their genes while fraternal twins share just half.
"We found there appears to be a genetic tendency to introduce your friends 15 each other," Christakis said.
There could be good, evolutionary reasons 16 this. People in the middle of a social network could be secret to useful gossip, 17 the location of food or good investment choices.
But they would also be at risk of catching effects from all sides -- in which case the advantage would 18 more cautious social behavior, they wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It may be that natural selection is 19 not just things like whether or not we can resist the common cold, but also who it is that we are going to come into 20 with," Fowler said in a statement.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to __36__ in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.

Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of __39__.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there __40__ between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She __41__ her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _42_ her. I was _43__ and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it __44_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt __45__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen __46_, but it’s really there. Love is __47__.”
I listened carefully but I __48__ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly __49_ seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __50 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __51__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, don’t __52__ me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”__53__ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and __54__. But from this experience, I understand that love is just __55__ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would 21 .”
Blue interrupted, “You only think about the 22 , but consider the sky and the sea.
23 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace, you would all be 24 .”
Yellow chuckled (笑道), “You are all so serious. I bring laughter, fun, and 25 into the world.”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet, “I am the color of health and strength. I may be 26 , but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky 27 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 28 to any of you.”
Red could stand it 29 and he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to 30 truth. I am also the color of passion and of love.”
Then came Purple and Indigo (深蓝) …
The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own 31 . Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder. Rain started to pour down 32 . The colors crouched (蜷缩) down 33 , drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor (叫嚷), rain began to speak, “You foolish colors, fighting 34 yourselves, each trying to dominate _35_. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, _36_? Join hands with _37_ and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors _38_ and joined hands. They formed a colorful rainbow. From then on, whenever a good rain _39_ the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to _40_ one another.

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.
