More often than not, my stories are pieced together, written, and edited in a series of 36 moments. If Im working while the kids are home, I have the added 37 of tuning out their chaos.

By the time we tend to them, were tired outand 47 in the mood to follow our dream. They push our personal pleasures 48 and slow us down, making tortoises out of hares.

Wide-heeled shoes feel fortable, so women wear them all day long, “Kerrigan said. “They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as bad for your knees.”In the study, researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels, one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one. The scientists pared how much pressure was put on the womens knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees. pared with walking barefoot, the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent. Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis(关节炎), experts say.The idea that high heels are bad for your health isnt new - scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained (扭伤) ankles and back problems. But in xx, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage (软骨) surrounding the knee. The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing. “This study confirms what we all intuitively (直觉地) know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health,” said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.58. We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _.A. they want to walk fortablyB. chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairsC. chunky heels do less harm to kneesD. chunky heels are not painful at all59. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. people got to know the high heels are bad for health recentlyB. people have known the high heels are bad for health for yearsC. people havent known the high heels are bad for health yetD. people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon60. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Taking Healthy Knees into Consideration B. High-heels Do Harm to KneesC. Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels D. When Wearing High-heelsCOvering feelings of defeat is not only possible, but very important as we want to prevent the “other side” of being bipolar(两极性的) getting you down. Such feelings and thoughts can cause a major depressive episode(抑郁阶段)；so we must look at the events and possibly poor decisions and impulse behaviors of the manic(狂躁的)episode from a balanced and objective view. We can then correct and improve our prevention and action plans to prevent another manic episode from being caused in the future.There are two areas that you will want to focus on while recovering from a manic episode. The first is self-education. And the second is the education of your family and friends. Your self-education process will consist of taking an objective look at recent events. Take note of what you were thinking and feeling. Note your triggers. Track your recent behaviors, especially the ones that might have caused negative responses from family and friends. You cannot change anything in the past or the events that have led to here and now. But you can move them aside from yourself and look at the events from an objective point of view and assess the distorted(扭曲的) thoughts that you have had. You can then assess what caused distorted thinking that might have led to bad behaviors. You can assess what makes you feel vulnerable (易受伤害的). From this information you can change your wellness and action plan and make adjustments to your lifestyle and relationships to prevent another manic episode or to teach other people how to help you.This leads us to the second area of focus-educating your friends and family. There is no better time than the present for this. Consider setting an appointment with your therapist(精神治疗家) and asking your most trusted family member, your spouse or a very trusted friend, to e with you to an appointment. During this appointment, you will have your therapist share with your loved one to receive first-hand education about your condition and they will clearly know that you need support and understanding. This is beyond simple psycho-education about bipolar disorder and what bipolar disorder is. Indeed, your family, loved ones, spouse and friends, will benefit from learning this and I encourage you to encourage them to attend family support groups where they will learn more and more. but in addition to this, appointments with your therapist can make a huge difference. Over time, you might even be able to persuade your family to get involved in family therapy with you.Remember, your past does not define you. Your mental illness does not define who you are as a human being. You were born with innate (先天的)gifts and talents. You are a good human being and you deserve to be treated as such. So, you must also treat yourself with love, respect and understanding. Often, it is the sufferer who is hardest on himself or herself. Check your negative thoughts and thoughts of self-judgment and criticism, and use your positive thinking skills to change those. Get back into the world, volunteer and visit friends.61. What is the “other side” of being bipolar? A. Depressive and manic episodes. B. Ideas and feelings in your inner heart. C. The positive aspects of your emotions. D. A balanced and objective view of point.62. What does the underlined word “triggers” refer to? A. The devices which cause explosion. B. Factors that cause something to happen. C. Changes that your self-education brings. D. Behaviors that influence your wellness.63. How to have self-education when you have feelings of defeat? A. Contacting your therapist and following his / her advice. B. Facing reality and adjusting yourself and the relationship with others. C. Refusing those negative feelings and strong responses from others. D. Ignoring your past bad behaviors and asking other people for help.64. What is the purpose of the education of your family and friends? A. To tell them that your situation is not awful at all. B. To ask your therapist to persuade them to be strong. C. To beg them not to give you up or look down on you. D. To let them know your situation and help you get through it.65. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us to do? A. Try to get back into your familiar world. B. Believe in yourself and reduce your stress. C. Participate in the volunteer work actively. D. Believe that there will be no difficulty with the help of friends.DIt was eleven oclock that night when Mr. Pontellier returned from his night out. He was in an excellent humor, in high spirits, and very talkative. His entrance awoke his wife, who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in. He talked to her while he undressed, telling her anecdotes and bits of news and gossip that he had gathered during the day. She was overe with sleep, and answered him with little half utterances.He thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, showed so little interest in things which concerned him and valued so little his conversation.Mr. Pontellier had forgotten the candies and peanuts that he had promised the boys. Still, he loved them very much and went into the room where they slept to take a look at them and make sure that they were resting fortably. The result of his investigation was far from satisfactory. He turned and shifted the youngsters about in bed. One of them began to kick and talk about a basket full of crabs.Mr. Pontellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after. Then he lit his cigar and went and sat near the open door to smoke it.Mrs. Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever. He had gone to bed perfectly well, she said, and nothing had made him sick. Mr. Pontellier was too well familiar with fever symptoms to be mistaken. He assured her the child was burning with fever at that moment in the next room.He reproached his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mothers place to look after children, whose on earth was it? He himself had his hands full with his business. He could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street, and staying home to see that no harm done to them. He talked in a dull, repeated and insistent way.Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room. She soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her head down on the pillow. She said nothing, and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her. When his cigar was smoked out, he went to bed, and in half a mi
