Yoga achieves its best results when it is practiced as a daily discipline and yoga can be a life long exercise routine offering deeper and more challenging positions as a practitioner becomes more

aspect of yoga for many 每天练习瑜伽会达到最好的效果 随着动作越来越熟练 你 就可以加大强度和难度这样瑜伽就能成为 你相伴终生的日常锻炼方式了 练习基础的瑜伽动作即可收 到增强力量 改善柔韧性并使人感到舒适的效 果 但要想达到完美和高深的境界还是需要日积月累的练习 这也是瑜伽吸引人的地方之一 5 What attracts individuals to each other in the first place Many people believe that there s one person out there that one is meant for and that destiny will bring them together Such beliefs are romantic but unrealistic Empirical studies show that cultural norms and values not fate bring people together We will never meet 第 3 页 共 13 页 millions of potential lovers because they are filtered out by formal or informal rules on partner eligibility due to factors such as age race distance social class religion sexual orientation health or physical appearance 一开始让人相互吸引的是什么 许多人相信 世上有一个人 是你为之而生的 而且命运会将你俩带到 一起 这样的想法很浪漫却不现实 实证研究发现 是文化

made to pay for that 随着我国市场经济的发展 商品促销手段的使用越来越普及 越来越受到人们青睐的打折 馈赠 促 销晚会等内容丰富 形式多样的促销活动日益增加 这些活 动不仅能够使厂家和商家更多更快地赚取利润 而且有助于消费者更好地了解产品并获得实惠 但如果用这 些促销手段销售劣质商品 则无论是厂家还是 商家 都将自食其果 Unit4 Work is not only a means of sustaining life More importantly it is the way through which people display their talent realize their ambitions build relationships and establish social status If you understand this

of the most essential elements of self fulfillment in the long run and for most people this comes chiefly through their work In that sense work is the most vigorous vivid sign of life in individuals and in civilizations 劳动不仅仅是谋生的手段 更重要的是 它是人们施展才华 实现抱负 建立社会关系 获得社会地 位的途径 理解了劳动的这种内在本质 那么无论所作的事 情那么乏味 那么劳累 只要它能有助于自己 在社会上或个人的小圈子里树立名誉 那也足以让人忍受 从长远来看 不断地树立新的目标 是个人自我实现的一个 基本要素 对于多数人来说 这主要依靠劳动 从这个意义 上说

Kournikova jpg vbs Curiosity tempts you to open the document to have a look at the Russian tennis star But if you open it the virus will be activated and will copy the attachment to every e mail address in your Outlook Express spreading the virus even farther E viruses which flood the Intenet through dubious e mails with fancy bait make production of anti virus programs a profitable business 假设你是个体育运动迷 那你在看到邮件中有名为 安娜 库尔尼克娃 jpg vbs 的图片文件时 你的第一反应会是什么呢 好奇心引诱你打开文件一睹这位 俄罗斯网球明星的芳容 但是如果你打开附 件 病毒就被激活 会在你的 Outlook Express 上把该 附件复制给电子邮件通讯录上的每一个地址 从 而更广泛地传播病毒 电脑病毒通过带有花哨诱饵的可疑电 子邮件在网泛滥成灾 因此 防毒程序的开发 也成为一项有利可图的生意 Unit8 Changes in the American family structure are evidenced by increased rates of separation and divorce In certain areas of the country these trends have resulted in a growing number of single parent families and remarried parents This does not indicate however that the institution of marriage is crumbling It is estimated that four out of five divorced couples eventually remarry other people These shifts in family relationships may be interpreted as a breakdown or as an adaptation of the American family to changing roles attitudes and values The changes according to the more traditional viewpoint represent a breakdown in the family structure a disintegration of values and a decline of morality 美国家庭结构的改变可由升高了的分居率和离婚率得到证实 在美国的某些地区 这些趋向导致了单 第 8 页 共 13 页 亲家庭和再婚父母的日益增多 然而 这并不表明婚姻体制 正在土崩瓦解 据统计 五分之四的离婚夫妇 将最终和别人结合 家庭关系的这些改变可以解释为家庭关 系的破裂 也可以解释为美国家庭对不断变化 的角色 态度和价值的一种适应 以较为传统的观点来看 这些变化代表着家庭结构的破裂 价值观的解 题和道德的沦丧 A Letter of Reply to a Friend Dear Bessie I m very glad to learn
