Boehm,Para. 1 I am a morning person. I have always enjoyed rising early, making a pot of coffee, getting the newspaper, and settling down for an hour of quiet timewhich I call a time-out.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 2 When I was a child, I remember my mother using time-outs as punishment. However, even then, I enjoyed going to my room to think about how I was behaving and what I needed to do “to be a good boy”. I enjoyed my time-out then, and I still do, although now I consider a time-out to be a reward rather than a punishment.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 3 Over the years, I have noticed that it has become more and more difficult to set aside those special moments of the day when we can remove ourselves from the hectic, frenetic pace of everyday life. Yet finding time to get away, to reflect, to concentrate, or to just let the mind wander freely is important for our overall health. Studies have shown that reducing stress in daily life significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks or the need for heart surgery.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 4 I remember the days when simply driving to and from work supplied me with the time-out I needed each day. Now, with a beeper strapped to my waist and a cell phone by my side, those days are over. I can be reached anytime, anywhereeven in my car.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 5a It was once believed that the American housewifes life would be less hectic and stressful with the introduction of appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and microwave ovens. They were wrong. Although the advent of modern conveniences may have made many people temporarily more productive and thereby able to free up valuable time,pause,Para. 5b it also increased their work load because with the extra time, many individuals merely added more chores to their day.,Text Study,Chinese,pause,Chinese,Text Study,After-Reading,Pre-Reading,Para. 6 Modern technology has invaded our lives. Reading and answering my email at work and later at home each day may keep me better informed, but it also takes away the precious time I used to spend reading a book or visiting friends. The same goes for my beeper, which often keeps me tethered to a nearby phone, although it allows me to be rapidly responsive to the needs of others.,pause,Text Study,Para. 7 But what about my needs? Para. 8 As a little boy, I recall a time when our family only had one telephone tucked away in a recess in the hall of our home. That one phone was shared by several other familieswhat we called party lines. Today telephones are in bedrooms, libraries, living rooms, kitchens, and even bathrooms, and often have two or three lineswith call waiting, of course.,pause,Chinese,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 9 This all helps to explain why I love early mornings. No one is awake, the house is quiet, the telephone isnt ringing, the fax machine isnt transmitting its messages, and the computer is dormant. My beeper has not yet been turned on, and I am alone with my coffee, newspaper, and quiet thoughts. It is my daily time-out.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 10 As I grow older, Ive noticed the need for more of these daily time-outs, so lately Ive started taking a 15-minute stroll with my wife and dog after coming home from the hospital.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 11 I leave all the modern technological and communication devices behind, and walk out my front door a free man. My wife and I exchange news of our day and talk about anything else thats in our minds. It is our time-out together.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 12 As we reenter our home, I cannot help but smile as I notice the three new messages on the answering machine that came in while we were out walking.,pause,Chinese,Text Study,Pre-Reading,After-Reading,Para. 13 Time-out is overat least until early tomorrow morning.
