Every summer, hundreds of thousands of students travel to other countries looking for work and
adventure. Most of the opportunities are in   1   work. The pay is usually poor, but most people work
  2   for the thrill of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain kids on American summer camps,
and, of course,
there are always   3   in hotels and restaurants.    
     But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work. Unless you speak the language of the country well,
there will be very   4   openings. For example, when you arrive to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris,
the owner will   5   you to speak French. British students only have a language   6   for jobs in the USA
and Australia.
     Not every one   7   the experience. Sarah James was once responsible for forty American children
in Europe. During the   8  , one child lost his passport; four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day;
the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the   9   they made. Sarah says, "It really was
a 24-hour-a-day job since the kids never   10  ! And the pay was awful. It wasn't worth it."
     The trouble is that   11   expect to have an easy time of it. After all, they see it as a   12  . In practice,
though, they have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work, and jobs are   13  
only when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. But students have few employment   14  .
As soon as the holiday season finishes, companies will get rid of them. And if their employer doesn't like
them, they'll be   15  , too.

     Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water.
Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked.
Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.    
     A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those
surveyed suffer from nomophobia or "no mobile phone phobia". Interestingly, more women worry
about losing their phone than men.    
     Fortunately, there's a solution.    
     The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing,
but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear
becomes so severe.    
     Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of a problem.
If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be
a problem.    
     Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind
and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this
leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with
not having your phone.    
     Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he
uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he
can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.    
     He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its product
reads like a prescription for anxiety: "60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You'll
have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect
with family,friends and work, as soon as the very next day!"

     Carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around
the world. The gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to
create heat. It is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather.
     Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas
has no color. It has no taste. It has no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause
people to cough. But it is very deadly. It robs the body of its ability to use oxygen.
     Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues. It does this
by linking with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry
oxygen to the tissues that need it.
     Damage to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide. How
quickly this happens depends on the length of time a person is breathing the gas and the amount of
the gas he or she breathes in.
     Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs. But people have to be awake to recognize them.
Small amounts of the gas will cause a person's head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel tired. The
person may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have trouble
thinking clearly. People develop severe head pain as the amount of gas continues to enter their blood.
They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomach pains.
     Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently. For example, a small child will
experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will. The general health of the person
or his or her age can also be important. An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects of
carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems. People with heart
disease may suffer chest pains. They may begin to have trouble breathing.

     Do you know what Fear and Faith have in common? Fear believes in a negative future. Faith
believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you,
if neither the positive
nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future?
     I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road
and the negative road. And our bus can't be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a
choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to
the present.
     I'm not saying we shouldn't have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose(剂量)
of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and
expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear is
good.
      However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the hearts
and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations to either
act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions because
of fear.
 In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
     The answer is the positive road paved (铺满) with faith and a belief that your best days are not
behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will
create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You
look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that
sacrifice your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus
on solutions instead of problems.
    Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not happened
yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith. The choice is
yours.
