　　Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!

　　And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs-the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me．

　　On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home．I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home．My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit．

　　In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate(使陶醉)my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see．On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil．And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset．

　　When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness．

　　In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!

　　(by Helen Keller)

　　　　1　　．Therefore when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws．　　2　　 The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners．Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language．The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye．In social meetings with friends, kissing is common．Use first names only after being invited to．　　3　　 The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name．Dress well．The French draw information about people based on their appearance．Your business clothing is a sign of your success and social status．Always try to be tasteful and stylish．Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly．Wearing make-up is practised widely by business women．The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours．　　4　　 Do not begin eating until the host says, “bon appetite”．Pass dishes to the left, keep hands above the table and try to eat everything on the plate．　　5　　 This may suggest that you find the food tasteless．If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays．

　　Learn Everyday

　　Agree to Disagree

　　Respect Each Other

　　Arrange Some Time to Go Out

　　Develop Healthy Relationships

　　Learn to Listen and Speak

　　Healthy relationships are effortless, if both the people involved take equal effort to maintain it．Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life．

　　　　1　　

　　Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person．Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily．This is the first mistake that couples make．One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener．Their roles remain so forever．The talker forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting．If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions．So hear them out and give proper reactions．You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out．

　　　　2　　

　　Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples．Understand that not every statement needs a reaction．Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner．Just agree with whatever it is and there will be no harm done．Try and reach a mutual(相互的)agreement．If that's not possible leave the topic for later．If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally．

　　　　3　　

　　Every single day is a blessing．Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances(细微差别)of your relationships．Each one of us keep changing everyday, the circumstances around us change everyday and with that our attitude also needs to change．The same applies when you are living with a person．Learning everyday and taking everyday as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips．

　　　　4　　

　　This tip is especially meant for couples with children to maintain healthy relationships．After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost．To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner．This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times．

　　　　5　　

　　Respect has to be earned．It can only be earned only if you learn to respect．Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows．Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake．Learn to respect each other and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship．

　　Creating a healthy relationship takes equal effort from both sides．Sharing, caring, being apologetic, forgiving and having realistic expectations are some of the important ingredients to the recipe of a healthy relationship．

Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．

1．BANG! Light and color burst overhead against a dark sky．Sparkles shower down like giant spider legs or twist and shoot into the night．Fireworks have delighted people for centuries．Fireworks are often used to celebrate the Fourth of July and New Year's Day．Here, fireworks explode over Sydney Harbor Bridge in Sydney, Australia, to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000．

2．The largest, most spectacular fireworks are called skyrockets．They are the ones that explode high in the sky．Bottle rockets are small versions of skyrockets that are sometimes shot out of a bottle with a whistle and a bang．Some types of fireworks don't shoot high into the sky．Firecrackers stay on the ground and mostly produce noise．Roman candles are packed in round containers．When lit, Roman candles spout balls of colorful light．Catherine wheels and pinwheels are fireworks attached to a wheel．When exploded, these fireworks spin the wheel in a blaze of bright light．

3．The ancient Chinese were the first to mix and package explosives as fireworks, almost 1, 000 years ago．They used the fireworks as war rockets and shot them at their enemies．When the Mongols invaded China and other countries during the 1200s, they brought Chinese gunpowder and fireworks to Europe．

4．Fireworks are small rockets filled with substances that burn brightly．Fireworks are used to celebrate special occasions．Most are made from powdered chemicals packed into a stiff paper case．Tiny flecks of metals give fireworks their color．A little bit of the metal copper, for instance, can make an explosion bright blue．

5．Fireworks can cause burns and injuries, especially to children．Today, many states have made all but the simplest fireworks illegal．Most huge firework displays, such as Fourth of July celebrations, are put on by professionals．
