Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life．How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis．The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently．Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion．It is not an easy job to get facts．When you are worried, your emotions are riding high．__1.__.

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person．__2.__You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree．Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case．You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

__3.__

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry．And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step．For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it．After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

__4.__ How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy．Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry．__5.__ If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness．Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A． Accept what can’t be avoided.

B． Analyze the facts.

C． There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

D． But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

E． Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

F． Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

G． This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death．Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage．The organism can still be revived(复活)．Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues．Death is then unchangeable and final.

Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs．The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep．By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called KetA． The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic． Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature．When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery．The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in．For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state．Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees．At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing．After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more．After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head． After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room．Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.

1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.

A． his most important organs are damaged.

B． he still has the possibility of getting back to life.

C． he cannot avoid final death.

D． he is still very much alive

2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to __________.

A． slow down the body’s metabolism.

B． bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.

C． cool the organism.

D． delay the coming of biological death.

3.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?

A． By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.

B． By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.

C． By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.

D． By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.

4.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that__________.

A． her heart beat again.

B． she regained her normal breath.

C． she rejected a penicillin injection.

D． she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Simplify Your Life

Less is more．This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them，get rid of junk instead of piling it up，relax instead of stressing，slow down instead of speeding up．Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way．You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification．

1.__________

When you concentrate on one task，you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had． Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards．If you keep grabbing one and then the other，it will take forever，because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off．But if you tie one pig in a place，pick up the other，gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line，pause for a moment，run back and get the other one，and with great determination，carry the second pig to the finish line，then you can be sure of success．

2._________

The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations．In the modern nuclear family，the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner．

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do，then it's not because the day has too few hours，but because you have too many activities．A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget．The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life．

3.____________

"I can handle stress" is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work．People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with -- until one day they break．

Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with．These

If you have any of these symptoms，change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress．Say quite openly，"I can't manage that．"

4.__________

“If only I were slimmer，more beautiful，richer，more clever，then I would be happier．" This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill，depressed，and unhappy．Life has its flaws，defects，corners，and edges．Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life．

Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous: driving a car; crossing the road． But life doesn't consist entirely of these things．In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes．

5._________

Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work．Find out which places improve your creativity．For me it's the train．When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door，I find nay mind is free and I can read or write complex articles．There can be problems working on the train，of course : if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away，or if train traps make you tired ( some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

A． Escape Now and Then

B． Slow Down Your Life

C． Separate Your Actions

D． Allow Yourself to Be Weak

E． Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying "No"

F． Imagine you are the best

G． Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
