I worked in a finance that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with relationships. I was searching for happiness and had no where to find it.
Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (慢性疲勞綜合征). I had to my job and was left with no income. I eventually regained my physical health, not long after that I got a(n) from my family at home saying that my father’s cancer had
progressed. I left the city and went home to be with him, yet he died soon afterwards. My oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad that she was to hospital. They discovered that she highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing could do. One month later she died.
I could never put into words the of my sister in my life. She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime her. The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees and I in hospital.
I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She with me all night long.
I during that night that I had to make a choice. I made the decision that, I
just live any life. I would live the life that I LOVE and nothing less. Since then I have begun to the most beautiful life for myself. I spend quality time with the rest of my precious family and cherish every moment I have with them. I’m making new friends with beautiful souls around the world.
I love myself more deeply every day.

Fix it on your own
Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what’s wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小機件) rescue guide.So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.
? How to get more juice out of your phone batter
If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up.That may give you a tiny bit of power.Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands.Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes.Then try to start the phone but use it quickly.
? What to do if your gadget gets wet
First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸塵器).If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside.The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget.Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.
? What to do if your TV remote control stops working
If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (鏡頭).When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone.This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (紅外線), even though your eyes don’t.If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken.If it does, the receiving device (裝置) is broken.
1.If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _________.
A.warm it up under your arm

C.put it into the uncooked rice

In China,cultural differences arose from growing rice or wheat.Different thinking styles between northern and southern Chinese people can trace(追溯)their roots to rice fields and wheat fields.
Rice farming promotes a holistic(整體的)focus on distinguishing relationships among people and objects,and valuing others as much as or more than oneself, say psychologist Thomas Talhelm of the University of Virginia and his colleagues.Holistic thinking among many modem Chinese people partly reflects regional histories of building communal irrigation systems(共有灌溉系統(tǒng))and cooperatively planting and harvesting rice fields over thousands of years.
They draw that conclusion based on studies of college students from regions with different agricultural practices.Students from southern and central China’s rice.growing provinces think holistically, even though they have probably never farmed rice,Talhelm’s group reports.In contrast,students from northern and central Chinese provinces that have specialized in wheat growing exhibit a preference for abstract analysis and self over others,the scientists find.Wheat is less labor-intensive(勞動密集型)to grow than rice,SO farmers can plant and harvest crops without much help from neighbors.Analytical,individualistic thinking is not more common among students from richer
Provinces, contrary to the argument that this attitude springs from modernization. ”Rice theory might explain why East Asia is so much less individualistic than expected based on its wealth, ” Talhelm says.
Talhelm,s team tested 1,162 Chinese students,who Viewed lists of three items,such as a rabbit,a dog and a carrot. For each list,students chose two items that belonged together. Earlier research found that analytical thinkers often group items according to categories,so rabbits and dogs go together.Holistic thinkers tend to 1ook for relationships,such as rabbits eating carrots. Students from rice-growing areas made an average of around seven to nine holistic matches of 10 possible matches,compared with roughly f1ve to seven holistic matches for those from Wheat-growing areas.
Talhelm’s team also analyzed national statistics in China from 1 996,2000 and 2010 and found a higher divorce rate and a greater number of successful patents for new inventions in wheat-growing provinces than in rice-growing provinces. That trend is in line with the ides that analytical thinking develops both individualism and creativity.
1.People who think holistically probably_____________.
A.come from wheat—growing areas
B.1ive in northern and central China
C.rely more on themselves
D.think of others before themselves
2.Which of the following statements is true?
A.East Asia is poorer than the other areas of Asia.
B.Modernization contributes to analytic al thinking.
C. Analytical thinkers tend to pick out items by type.
D.Richer people show more individualistic thinking.

A.making comparisons
B. listing examples
