25、ng use. The research found levels of about a dozen common organic pollutants to be two to five times higher inside homes than outside. Some of these chemicals are highly poisonous, some merely annoying. People may suffer from irritated eyes, headaches, and dizziness after exposure. So read the label

26、 on the product carefully and pay attention to the instructions for using it. If it says to use the product in a well-aired area, go outside or open the windows.Some people are sensitive to chemicals emitted by new carpets. “The carpet industry has developed a voluntary testing program for emission

27、levels,” says Feldman. “People now can choose to buy carpets that have the industrys seal of approval." Once the carpet's in place, open the windows for a couple of days if possible. If not,use window fans or air conditioners to exhaust thefumes to the outdoors.By taking these steps, you

34、ren's books speak to the unconscious. Children can have strong feelings of loneliness,anxiety, and (36) helplessness, but they haven't developed the rational thinking skills to (37) cope with these feelings. A fairy tale, or a great children's book, guides the child's unconsciousness
