One hot August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two
grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw
a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting in
summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.
“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.
Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!he ”　
shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”
She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he
jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.
As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck,
and the “firewas spreading forward ”　toward his face. An immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen
knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the
after- effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body
into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off a deadly explosion.
Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his
heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the
radio microphone, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals
were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire
Department’ｓ north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.
”
Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He
was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock

“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words.

Emergency. There in ten minutes.
“Five- ten,” the center replied.
Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.
At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit
the ground. You made it, he thought.

Although biological mechanisms ( 机制) do not work with the accuracy or stability of
modern clocks, a sense of time and its rhythm is built into the functioning of the human body. Our
heart, with its beating pulse, is the clock-like internal rhythm of which we are most aware.
There are, however, other biological timekeepers that play important roles in our lives. These inner
clocks are generally very regular, but they can also be “resetand ”　will fall in step with a different
rhythm. Even after we take a long flight across the Atlantic or Pacific, our lack of synchronization (
步) with the local time slowly disappears.
Though known to biologists for over 200 years, biological clocks are the subject of a lot of
research nowadays. The question is to what extent this human body rhythm is an autonomous
mechanism rather than a simple response to external signals, such as changes in the level of light, the
times of meals, or social interactions with our surroundings. It has not been easy to find the answer,
but careful laboratory experiments have led to the conclusion that our body contains an autonomous
timekeeper. Individuals who volunteered to be kept in artificial isolation with no time clues also helped
to find the answer. In 2015, a French researcher spent two months in a cold cave, 375 feet
underground in the Alps. The Frenchman called his above-ground supporters by telephone whenever he
ate, went to sleep, and woke, and he recorded in detail his thoughts and impressions of the passage of
time. He found himself affected by definite internal time signals. His subjective impression of the time
of the day and his periods of sleep and waking, was slightly longer than 25 hours. When he came out
of the cave, his internal timer was many hours out of phase with the external 24-hour clock.

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If
and give without making time to fill your own needs, then i
you give
t’likely you will burn out, or feel upset. s
When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always
searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your
values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are
the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose
three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being
values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these
values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model.
Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be
companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive.
You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings
and conditions in your life.
When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious
choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could
choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate ( 沉思), or
set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a
responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be
the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce
(加强) your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn
the way other people think of you.
main purpose of this passage is to
the readers how to be truly happy
de the readers to make a commitment
n to the readers what personal values are
ct the readers how to make wise choices
