We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety. After I left university, I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work. One day she invited me to       her and her family back home. I wanted to, but I would have to travel there       and I knew we would be in a very rural area. How would I cope with my       ?
Then one day it         to me that I had a life to live. I could choose to let anxiety       me or I could go to Morocco and       something different. I was 23 years old and had never been out of the UK alone. The journey to Morocco     something inside me. I managed to cope with my anxiety. The sense of       was overwhelming and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone, I remember how       it felt when I arrived in Morocco.
Upon arrival I was so       for the generous welcome I received. My friend’s family had arranged a welcome party. The people were so loving toward me. As a moment of        felt in a faraway village, this reminded me that I was “good enough”, which helped to        my anxiety.
Waking up the next day, in the morning light, I saw the area where we were. I was        by how rural it was – and the realization that these people had very few       .
In the days afterwards, I traveled around Morocco. We went to Marrakesh and     the Atlas mountains. We had the most amazing food – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
At the end of my       something inside me had changed. I realized I had not felt anxious for nearly two weeks.
Experiencing a different culture far away from home helped me to realize what is important in life, what really       and with that my anxiety        . When I returned home I was much more active in       my anxiety. Working with people, helping them        their anxiety, is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do        . When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other         when you choose your food. You may         it because it smells good or because it         good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.
Different         use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many         types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one         type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the       . A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other        in the garden. However, most animals have a more         diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The         of these animals will be different depending on the season.
       have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is       for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much        . This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal        , such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.

Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would      : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people      , but most are certain.
I started surfing about five years ago and       in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first       was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to       surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my      , there’s nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,       and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all       us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that      , becoming one with the      , is like I'm weightless.
The one thing I can       from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best suffer” because the ocean       uncountable waves that nobody can ever master. The variations (变化) of surfing styles are wonderful. Some suffers are free and flowing;       are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and sharp. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it       from any other sport.
I've       to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new      , so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start pushing the limits of things boys and men      to dominate (主宰)?
There’re women       side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys       the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to      , and they will.

Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over, and you have to talk to adults all evening. Say the       thing and the parents might get mad. But, say      ,  and they’ll think you weren’t friendly. So,     can you talk with adults?
It’s __ __. Just ask them questions about themselves. “Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living,” suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny.
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about     . Ask what the last good movie they saw was, because people at dinner parties “     ” when the conversation turns to movies, Ursiny says. If a grown-up is     Harry Potter, it’s OK to talk about your love for Harry. It’s a(n)    __ topic, one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy, so       and talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead.
But       the topic of video games. “Adults don’t want to hear about your video game      they play it,” Ursiny explains.
Adults also don’t want to hear slang(俚语). Don’t use language they don’t      . Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language.
     most adults aren’t into slang, they do remember what it was like to be a kid. Ursiny recommends asking adults what __ __ was like when they were your age. “It might be a fun discussion if you       your 10th-grade experience with theirs.”       you chat with your parents in advance to find out which topics are off-limits (禁区).
Also, don’t chat about the things that make your parents feel guilty. Don’t mention        stuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch, Ursiny says. And don’t complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast.
     , Ursiny says, kids should try to put themselves in their parents’      . Learning how to      that type of understanding might help you out in the future. “The most successful people can develop a sympathetic feeling for others,” he says.
