down


with



the flu.

Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why

it I absolutely should be in bed.



当我喝早茶的时候,


我就感 到阵阵头痛袭来。是的,就是,一阵隐隐约约的疼痛充斥着我的眼


睛。或许,

< p>
我应该继续睡觉直到疼痛消失。当我把盘子丢进水槽里的时候,我的肌肉好像也开始隐

was


my


reading

< p>








the


report I was


working on

scrounge






clothing for the next day.



一早上就这样过去了,我的阅读也这样继 续着。接着我又看了


20


页,我伸展了一下身体。我

冒怎么办我可不想传播细菌啊。


那些脏衣服可以等等再洗。


家人有足够的能力找到第二天能穿的衣


服。



Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want


to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was


a little time off


. I


needed to


nurture


(


< br>育


)


myself away from people, chores


(




)


, career


and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that As


a


child,


the


only


respite< /p>


(




)



from


school


or


family


chores


was


illness. But I wasn't a child any more. Did I have to


manufactu re


(




)



symptoms to provide myself with


an excuse No, I decided, I didn't.



或许我根本就没有感冒。我其实也并非真想生 病。说实话,我只是想要一点闲暇的时间而已。


我想让自己远离人群、

< br>琐事、


职业以及外面的世界。


我就非得等到生病了才能那 样吗孩子能不上课


或不做家务的唯一方法就是生病,


但我已经不 再是个孩子了。


我不得不装出生病的症状来给自己找


借口吗不, 我决定了,我不需要。

awareness


, but then isn't it the simple things that


set us free

Section B




不要拿自己跟别人对比,< /p>


低估自己的价值,


原因就在于我们是不同的,

每个人都是独特


的个体。不要把别人认为重要的目标当作是自己的目标,只有你自己 才知道什么是最适合


你的。不要整天生活在对过去的回忆或者将来的憧憬里,让日子从指 缝悄悄溜走。而应该


生活在当下,生活在生命中的每一天。不要不敢承认自己不够完美, 正是脆弱的天性将我


们紧紧联系在一起。不要让时光虚度,自己都不知道曾经去过哪里, 也不知道要去哪里。


不要忘记一个人最大的情感需求就是感到自己得到了赏识。不要浪费 时间和话语,因为这


些东西一旦失去就不可以复得。生活不是一场比赛,而是一段旅程, 一路上每走出一步都


要仔细品味。

Ⅵ.好多时候,人们感觉精疲力竭,想放松一下,但是总是 放弃这样的想法,仅仅是因为


生活忙忙碌碌的,不能真正放松自己。即使真的放松自己, 总觉得很内疚,感觉自己不负


责任。然而,人们需要倾听并满足自己的需求,就像上面故 事中的作者一样关心自己。你


同意这种观点吗除了生病人们可以放松自己之外,你能否列 出其他的理由请举例说明自己


的观点。

Nothing takes its toll on the body

Unfortunately,


in


today's


world,


most


of


us


are


experiencing


a


stressful


life


with


no way to get out of it - or so we think.



If you are 3 one of the many people who want to alleviate your


stress, you can learn some simple techniques to help you 4 get out


of


the


vicious


cycle


of


leading


a


stressful


life.


Your


stressful


life does not just affect you, but everyone around you. It affects


your relationships as well as any children or co- workers. Most of


all, it can actually make you 5 physically ill.



Do you really want to go 6 through


the rest of your life feeling



that


everything


in


life


is


a


trial


Perhaps


it


is


time


for


you


to


confront this situation


and seek help


to


restore some


sort


of balance


in your life and break 7 free from this cycle.



There are many facets to st


ress. Stress manifests itself

< p>






in many different ways and can be 8 either


self-induced






< br>)



or something that occurs in life. We can never eliminate stress from


our


lives,


as


stressful


situations


are


part


of


life.


However,


we


can learn to react to stre


ss in a 9 positive manner and take control


of


the


situation


10


rather


thanallowing


the


stress


to


remain


in


control.
