Band-Aids (创可贴) The first Band-Aids was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921 . The idea came to him by chance . Dicksons wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen . At that time Gauze (纱布) and adhesive tape (胶带)didnt come together . People had to cut them to the right size . Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off . So he put a piece of gauze on the centre of a piece of tape . This is how he made the first Band-Aid. Later , Dicksons new invention became very popular all around the world . Bubble gum (泡泡糖) Bubble gum was invented by accident . In 1928 , American gum company worker Walter E. Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes . Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then . But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow (吹). He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities . He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single (单个的)afternoon . Since then , Dubble Bubblethe first brand (牌子)of bubble gum has made kids happy all around the world . ( )1.

I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem , but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦) . I broke my arm . Jimmys dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on . When he saw the problem , he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital . As that day was April Fools Day , Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke . Mom was finally convinced (确信)by Jimmys mom . When she saw me , she was in tears because she felt so bad she originally (起初)thought this was just a big prank (恶作剧).I guess one could compare this to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf . Since I had pulled prank before , it is no wonder that my mom didnt believe it . I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day . We both learned a valuable lesson . ( )6.

Hotels There are lot of good hotels in New York . The best is the Plaza on 5th Avenue , but you dont have to pay a lot to stay in the city ; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA (基督教青年会)near Central Park is great for young people . Eating out There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldnt eat at McDonalds every day . there are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown , for example .

Was your mind unable to think ? The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very bad time , or you feel angry , stop . Yes, thats right ,stop . Whatever you are doing ,stop and sit for one minute. While you are sitting there , completely put yourself in the negative emotion . Allow that emotion to cover you . Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion .Dont cheat yourself here . Take the entire minute-but only one minute-to do nothing else but feel that emotion . When the minute is over , ask yourself ,”Am I willing to keep holding onto this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day ?”Once youve allowed yourself to be totally immersed (专注的)in the emotion and really feel it , you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly . You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs . If you feel you need to hold onto the emotion for a little longer , that is OK . Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion . When you feel youve had enough of the emotion , ask yourself if you are willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day . If not , take a deep breath . As
