Here are a few tips to help you, the workaholic, re-focus and get the best out of life.

EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some slip or rest later”. Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is nor physiologically possible.

STRICTLY FAMILY TIME ON WEEKENDS!Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays?

GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers in your drawer to ease the hunger pangs (疼痛).

WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it’s even more important that you get some exercise.

WORK TO LIVE!Always keep in mind that you work so you can live and have a comfortable life. Always remember that you don’t live to work. Working is just one of the many useful and fruitful activities you do that enables you to live a good life and give your family their needs. Don’t make work your life.

If you start following the tips outlined today, then you’ve just taken the first step to head a healthy, successful and happy life!

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.

One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and, although they up at Brownie’s house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie’s owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about,barking all the time, then darting toward an nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”

Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs crushed in s steel trap (圈套). Frightened, Ted now wished he had taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the felling. Last DecemberI took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.”

61. the best title for the passage would be .

A. Touched by the Moon　　　　　　　　　　　 B. The Pleasures of Modern Life

Life is difficult.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.

Problems ate the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.”It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

56. The passage mainly tells us that .

  A. Everybody has problems

  B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life

C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

D. people like to complain about their problems

57. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to .

  A. show his opinion                            B. argue with readers

  C. give an example                              D. get readers’attention

58. The main idea of paragraph 3 is .

  A. most people feel life is easy

  B. the writer feels life is easy

  C. the writer likes to complain about his problems

  D. most people complain about how hard their lives are

59. According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to .

  A. encourage them to learn

  B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems

  C. help them learn to deal with pain

  D. teach them how to respect problems

60. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that .

A. we do not learn from experience

  B. we do not learn when we are in pain

  C. pain teaches us important lessons

  D. pain cannot be avoided
