diet the food they take in Aperson eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D The problem is that there are many people who

the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet As the pace of life continues to increase we are fast losing the art of relaxation Once you are in the habit of rushing through life and working from morning till night it is hard to slow down But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it In fact it is not the

managerial responsibilities Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties When exposed to stress in whatever form we react both chemically and physically In fact we make choice between

experience last weekend showed me this is true I work part time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly These old people are our main customers and it s not hard to lose patience over their slowness But last Sunday one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson This untidy man walked up to my register 收款机 with a box of biscuits He said he was out of cash 现金 had just moved into his room and had nothing in his cupboards He asked if we could let him have the food on trust He promised to repay me the next day I couldn t help staring at him I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before and what he would be like if luck had gone his way I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul all alone in the world I told him that I was sorry but store rules didn t allow me to do so I felt stupid and unkind saying this but I valued my job Just then another man standing behind the first spoke up If anything he lookedmore pitiable Charge it to me was all he said What I had been feeling was pity Pity is soft and safe and easy Compassion on the other hand is caring in action I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowedeither

ALetterLetterLetterLetterfromfromfromfromTimTimTimTim s s s s BrotherBrotherBrotherBrother Dear Tim I have thought over very seriously the questions you raised about going to university Weighing all the factors involved and appreciating your personal difficulties I am nevertheless convinced that you shouldtry to make it Given the choice of two young people to hire for the same salary ninety nine out of one hundred employers will pick a college graduate In the long run a university education is a solid financial investment that will pay a lifetime dividends in increasedearning power as well as in personal satisfaction If you fail to enter university this year the probability is that you will never get around to going and for the rest of your life you will feel that every university graduate has a bigadvantage over you The financial difficulties are very real Tim I don t want to underestimate them But such difficulties have been overcome by a great many young people some of whom have gone on to win national prominence It isn t at all unusual for a boy to work his way through university full time during the vocations and part time during term The biggest sacrifice is being made by Mother who has a right to expect you to help with the household expenses at your age Motheris I am sure more than willingto make that sacrifice I am not going to tell you that working your way through university iseasy It means that you will have to work hard for at least four years perhaps even five or six if you want to be a post graduate Youwill have to miss some of the fun that other boys get out of university life But I think that the fun you will miss in the next few years will be more than made up by the practical advantages you get from a university life And what you do in these next few years will determine just what kind of person you will be and what kind of life you will be able to live It is up to you to decide whether it is worth some years of hard work and sacrifice to make yourself a better educatedandmore effective person An alternative is to go to a university where you can do on line learning without quitting your job In thisway you might be able to work full time and attend lectures on line at any time in any places accessible to the Internet This of course may mean that you ll have to work even harder andlonger hours I hope you will make the kindof decision that you won t ever regret Affectionately yours John 15 Fromthe letter we can see that 6 A Timwants to go to university very much B Timhas some financial difficulty to go to university C Timdoes not want to go to university D Tim s mother is eager for himto go to university 16 According to John if Tim fails to enter university this year he will probably A manage to overcome his difficulties andgo
