Normally, we talk about the spirit of giving , and it is important to do this. But we hardly hear any talk about the spirit of receiving. Very few people know how to receive a gift kindly. Therefore, while we are receiving a gift ,we are actually rejecting it .And we turn off the flow of love by refusing to allow the other person to experience the joy of giving.

A man knew that his wife dreamed of having a fur coat , but he couldn’t afford to buy her such a coat .He loved his wife very much and he wanted to make her happy. Finally, he decided to start a fur-coat-buying project. He saved money in every way that he could .Two years later, he brought her a fur coat --- not one of the most expensive ones, but a nice fur coat. He gave it to his wife on her birthday. When she saw the coat, she said, “Oh , Bill, how could you ?You know how much we need a new sofa . ” Then after a while ,she said ,“But it is nice ,thank you .”But the husband’s feeling were hurt. Two years of love was hurt by her words---she didn’t accept a gift kindly.

Do we often act this way when we receive a gift? Are we sometimes too proud, or too cold? Or are we not strong enough to let the other person do the giving?

Are you unwilling to allow the other people to experience the joy of giving? After reading this passage, you may know what to do when you receive a gift next time.

Have you heard of Aqua exercises? They are exercises done in water. They are also called water exercises,. It is believed that aqua exercises can help people burn more fat than exercises on dry land .There are two main types of aqua exercises.

First, aqua jogging. We must wear a special belt which can protect us and help us floating as we run in the water. Although we are in water, we should run very hard as if we were jogging on dry land.

Aqua jogging can protect our joints(关节)and at the same time make our muscles (肌肉) work hard.

The famous actress, Jennifer Aniston, is reported to aqua jog for fifteen minutes every day. Now there are many aqua jogging clubs and classes all over the UK.

Second, aqua Tai Chi .Tai Chi on land is an ancient Chinese exercise designed to improve balance, reduce stress and help people to relax. Aqua Tai Chi can do this better. Peter Chou , who has established a Tai Chi school , says, “Tai Chi is about fluidity(流动性) and relaxation. For thousands of years, experts have been asking people to imagine being in water when they are practicing Tai Chi, so why not actually put them in water? When their hands and feet move slowly through water, the people can experience what fluidity feels like both mentally and physically, and understand this exercise better. The water can also make them slower and more relaxed.”

People will need an understanding of Tai Chi and should be able to perform some of the simple movements on land before trying aqua Tai Chi. It is not suitable for beginners because they need to see how the teachers’ hands and feet are moving, which is not easily done underwater.
