| Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 1 . I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 2 we realized we were 3 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 4 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 5 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I 7 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 8 out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.

I was so upset that I 11 to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream for 12 that someone would say, "Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change 13 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?" I was not so 14 of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was 15 of the "pizza incident", I would say to myself, "Don't think about it..." I have learned two things from this 16 . Maybe I was a fool for 17 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 18 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience 19 up with you. This reflect the saying, "A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one." I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a " 20 " and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice. | ||||

| With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory (配饰) for working women, health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern. Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems. "I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. "We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they're anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. We're really going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze." William Case, a physical therapist (临床医生) in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers "to place a cute, educational caution tag (标签) on all bags to inform buyers of potential neck and shoulder dangers." Above all, he suggested correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders upright. Patients should also often change the size and weight of purses carried. "The extra-large purses are quite extraordinary. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I don't know how aware they are of the potential problems," Case said. Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient (高效率的) ways of carrying a load, according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. "This causes a great imbalance," he said. "If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light." |

| BEIJING, China (CNN)-Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say. In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China-places that used to have mild winters. "We've never seen such a cold weather lasting for such a long time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s Changsha, Hunan Province. "The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad." The snow has blocked roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers stranded (滞留), officials say. Many of them are going home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival. The Lunar New Year travel is China's busiest travel period of the year.But the snow is changing travel plans. Railway and highway routes have been brought to a pause,a situation in which all activity or movement has stopped and several regional airports have been closed. In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers were stranded in the past few days when a power failure in neighboring Hunan seriously damaged the regular train services, local officials said. About 100,000 passengers crowded the square in front of the train station, while others found shelter in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains. More terrible weather is expected. China's weather office on Monday issued a warning of more severe (恶 劣的) snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of stranded travelers will surely increase. |

| London-A morning's train rides away, across the Channel, English kids about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in "A Tale of Two Cities." These days, it might be A Tale of One City. Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English. As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union has freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs close up. "For me, difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a banker. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London."She said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago."I think people laugh more in Paris," she said. In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are past the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property. "Both cities have changed out of recognition." said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. "I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s,and it is still a wonderful place,"Collins said."But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better." But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose. "I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured," she said. "In London, you can be who you want. No one cares." |

| Running, as most of you already know, is a sport that all sorts of people love. Running a marathon is also something that many long-distance runners have as a goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon, how do you go about getting yourself into excellent shape for the race of your life? Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days per week. The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can happen through pushing yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from, let's say,20 miles per week up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate (交替) hard days with easy days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something else like a three-mile run which, although it might not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do. Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too-if you stop suddenly after a hard run, then those of you who might have heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at the point. One word of warning: don't start a training schedule without some guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will be able to tell you what you're doing right or wrong! Remember that under normal circumstances, health benefits from regular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with fitness. |
