A----Accept（接受) “世上没有十全十美的人”。记着，你爱他，就必须接受他的一切，甚至他的缺点。 B——belief（信任）不信任对方，经常以怀疑的口吻盘问对方，这种互相猜度的爱情就只有分手下场。

C——care（关心）关心的程度正好表现你对她的重视程度，偶然打个电话给她关心地问候一句：“工作辛苦吗？”又或者发短信给她：“天气凉了，别忘了加衣”。这些关心未必有实际用途，但起码能令对方暖在心头。

D——digest（理解）我们不是圣人，总有情绪起伏的时候，若对方是“凸”的时候，你何不做“凹”去忍耐一下她，安慰一下她呢。

E——enjoy（欣赏）你应欣赏对方的一切，欣赏这段爱情带给你的开心、幸福。这样，你便会爱得更愉快，不要只懂埋怨，在鸡蛋里挑骨头。  

F——freedom（自由）纵然已婚，也应给予对方应有自由及保持秘密的权利。你的另一半不是你的终生奴隶，不要让她认为跟你结婚就等于被困笼中。

G——give（付出）爱情这样东西不一定是你付出“一”，便会收回“一”。但不付出，便一定没有收获。对你的爱人，应有如对自己一样，毫无保留地付出，这才算得上真爱。

H——heart（心）爱情最重要的道具是心，你必须真心对待，用心去爱。没有心，又怎称得上真心相爱？

I——independence（独立）甜言蜜语的人会说：“我是为了你而生。”其实，每个人都有自己的生存意义，不应过分依赖对方，成为对方的沉重负担，甚至累赘。

J——jealousy（妒忌）适当的妒忌、呷醋能表示你对对方的重视，但切记是合情合理的呷醋；反之，毫不讲理，大发雷霆地呷醋，必惹反感。

K——kiss（吻）一吻胜过千言万语，轻轻的一吻已能代表你惜她、爱护她，所以请不要吝啬你的红唇。

L——love（爱）都说是爱情，没有爱又怎会有情呢？爱跟喜欢不同，爱一个人，你必定愿意为他做任何事，这是最高的境界。亲时不妨跟对方说句“我爱你”，担保比任何礼物来得甜蜜开心。

M——mature（成熟）为什么一般人的初恋总会无声无色地惨败，因为年轻人多恋爱得较幼稚。况且，没有一个人会喜欢对方长年没头没脑地蹦蹦跳跳。人成熟一点，你的爱情便会早熟一点，直到开花结果。

N——nutural（自然）很多人初拍拖时都会把一切的缺点隐藏起来，变成另一个人。日子久了，缺点才一箩箩地出现，令对方吃不消。其实，不做作，流于自然的爱情才是细水长流的。

O——observe（观察）经常细心观察爱侣的喜好，不但能更了解对方，更能给他惊喜。那份心意必定比礼物来得珍贵。

P——protect（保护）做男朋友的当然要保护女朋友，但做女朋友的亦要保护对方的尊严，不应容许别人中伤、侮辱你的另一半。

Q——quarter（宽大）宽大是基本的要诀，对爱侣的错误，以宽大的态度原谅他，因为你是最爱他的。

S——share（分享）若你爱他，就必能与他分享他的喜与哀，这是作为一个伴侣最简单的责任。

T——tender（温柔）歌都有得唱《Love me tender》啦！爱人当然要温柔地爱，因为男人女人缺乏温柔都不可爱。

U——understand（明白）不明白对方的想法，对方跟你说话，你永远只独自发呆，那就是一段缺乏沟通的爱情。多站在对方立场，将心比心地想，必定能更了解你的另一半。

V——veracity（诚实）对爱情，必须一百倍的诚实，你也不想你的另一半是个“大话精”吧！时常互相欺骗的感情又怎能天长地久呢？

W——wait（等待）等是维系一段感情的基本元素。最重要的是你要与他同步成长，同步走完这段人生路，千万不可一个走先，遗下另一半在后。

X——“X”（乘法符号）把你对他的爱每天以倍数地乘上去，爱情自然变成无限大，爱情走也走不掉。

Y——yearn（想念）工作或不在一起时，不妨多想念对方，间或致电或传呼他说句“我很挂念你”必能令对方甜在心头，更起劲地工作。

Z——zest（热情）像小龙女般虽然貌若天仙，却冷若冰霜的情人，除了杨过，相信都没有人愿意跟她一生一世。所以，情侣的适当的热情能加添不少乐趣，但切忌过分热情。

A new report says only about half of all students in the main school systems of America's largest cities finish high school. The report notes higher rates of graduation – more than seventy percent -- in areas surrounding the cities. The Editorial Projects in Education Research Center prepared the report. Researchers studied high school graduation rates from the two thousand three, two thousand four school year. They also identified the nation's fifty largest cities. The largest, New York City, had a population of more than eight million. The smallest city was Wichita, Kansas. It had about three hundred sixty thousand people. Researchers used a system of measurement called the cumulative promotion index to find graduation rates. School officials in many of the cities studied say the resulting numbers were too low. That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates. Critics say many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who leave high school before finishing.

The scientists also predict that climate change will lead in Canada to an increase in outbreaks of diseases that can be carried in water and food. They note that flooding, heavy rains and warmer temperatures are linked to the spread of bacteria, viruses and other organisms. This is true even in the presence of water treatment systems, they say. The report by scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. World Health Day marks the establishment of the World Health Organization on April seventh, nineteen forty-eight. One goal this year is to call for local and international partnerships that will seek to improve health through efforts to stabilize climate change. The W. H. O. says it aims to put public health at the center of U. N. efforts on climate change. A major message of this World Health Day is that the health of poor people will be hurt the most. The W. H. O. says different areas of the world will experience different problems from climate change. But it says countries with high levels of poverty and underdevelopment will be the least prepared to deal with them. 0 如何缓解精神压力

　　很显然，工作压力对我们有太多的不良影响，我们都很努力地希望用各种方式来消除压力。其实，从事物的两面性来看，有压力未必是坏事，在生活中我们需要一定的压力。因为压力可以刺激我们采取一些行动，挑战我们自身的能力，帮助我们达到自己认为不可能达到的目标。问题就在于我们怎么处理、安排和缓解工作中的压力，不至于因为压力过大而垮掉。

　　缓解压力的四原则

　　■用积极的态度面对压力

　　在充满竞争的都市里，每个人都会或多或少地遇到各种压力。可是，压力可以是阻力，也可以变为动力，就看自己如何去面对。当遇到压力时，明智的办法是采取一种比较积极的态度来面对。实在承受不了的时候，也不让自己陷入其中，可以通过看看书、涂涂画、听听音乐等，让心情慢慢放松下来，再重新去面对。到这时往往就会发现压力其实也没那么大。有些人总喜欢把别人的压力放在自己身上。比如，看到别人升职、发财，就总会纳闷，为什么会这样呢？为什么不是自己呢？其实只要自己尽了力，做好自己的工作就得了。与其让自己无谓地烦恼，不如想一些开心的事，多学一些知识，让生活充满更多色彩。

　　■减压先要解开心结

　　有一则小寓言，说有一种小虫子很喜欢捡东西，在它所爬过的路上，只要是能碰到的东西，它都会捡起来放在背上，最后，小虫子被身上重物压死了。人不是小虫子，但人在社会生活中的所作所为又像极了小虫子，只不过背上的东西变成了“名利权”。人总是贪求太多，把重负一件一件披挂在自己身上，舍不得扔掉。假如能学会取舍，学会轻装上阵，学会善待自己，凡事不跟自己较劲，甚至学会倾诉发泄释放自己，人还会被生活压趴下吗？

　　■适度转移和释放压力

　　面对压力，转移是一种最好的办法。压力太重背不动了，那就放下来不去想它，把注意力转到让你轻松快乐的事上来。等心态调整平和以后，已经坚强起来的你，还会害怕你面前的压力吗？比如做一下体育运动，体育运动能使你很好的发泄，运动完之后你会感到很轻松，这样就可以把压力释放出去。

　　■对压力心存感激

　　人生怎能没有压力？的确，想想并不曲折的人生道路，升学、就业、跳槽，从偏远的乡村走向繁华的都市，我们的每一个足迹都是在压力下走过的。没有压力，我们的生活也许会是另外一个模样。当我们尽情享受生活的乐趣的时候，都应该对当初让我们曾经头疼不已的压力心存一份感激。生活本来就是丰富的。任何人的生活都不会一成不变，我们需要一帆风顺的快乐，但也要接受挑战和压力带给我们的磨炼。缺了哪一样，我们的生活都会显得有几分单调。

两点间的距离
不一定是直线最短

正如我和潘

潘总坐在教室的倒数一排最右边
而我通常是倒数一排最左边
今天逃课
三节课
最后一节去了
没位置
只有她旁边的空位
打死都不敢坐过去
没办法
幸好后面还有一张桌
拉过去
坐在潘的左后面位置

潘仍旧迁就着
她的习惯
而我的思绪
定格了
在她的背影里

咫尺之间
望尽天涯路

Next Monday is World Health Day, observed by the World Health Organization. The objective chosen for this year is to get people involved in the campaign to protect against the health effects of climate change. The World Health Organization is a United Nations agency. The W. H. O. says there is already evidence of health problems related to climate change. It says more people are dying from extreme heat, and that diseases spread by insects are also on the rise. And it says climate change has increased the risk of natural disasters, especially severe dry weather, wildfires, major storms and floods. Disasters like these can kill directly or indirectly. People can die or get sick from food shortages or conditions like the spread of disease. Several years ago, the W. H. O. blamed climate change for two percent of diarrhea cases worldwide in the year two thousand. Last month, researchers in Canada predicted that temperature increases there will spread insects like ticks and mosquitoes farther north. These insects can carry disease.

   在做作业的时候，总会碰到一些干扰，比如旁人的谈笑风生，以及各种声音，有时候场面很混乱，在这种环境下，似乎根本没法学习，很难进入状态，一旦进入不了状态就很容易心烦意乱，急躁，最后的结果是，时间浪费了，情绪更是糟糕透了。
   这种情况碰到的次数太多了，自己也一直在想法子怎么来对抗这些干扰，今天课堂上的混乱可以说“是非同寻常的”，但我决心要和它抗衡，坚持一动不动地坐在那里，笔直地坐在那里！我要抗干扰！即使不能进入学习的状态也要坚持这个样子到下课，直到我进入了我所要求的“状态”。在这个过程中，一直暗示自己，只想到一句话：处乱不惊!哈，虽然词语用的不是很合适，但对抗干扰的确有点效果，想想咱毛主席能在喧闹的菜市场都能专心地读书，我为什么不能呢。
   还有就是上课或其它时候，他们总会有些观点会发表出来，不要总想加入他们那无谓的争辩，即使有自己的想法，也不能太偏激，听他们说下去，心里知道是怎么一回事就行，了解信息是用耳朵，不是用嘴巴！完全没必要总是争着发表自己的观点，或者想强把自己的观点压倒对方的观点，这种情况也已经碰到过很多次了，结果只有一个，双方都不服，不欢而散，最好的方法是先肯定对方的观点中正确或好的一面，（有时候他们说的的确有点道理），然后再对其进行自己的一些补充，而且方式要委婉，这样双方都会愉快，这就是“双赢”。要么不同意他们的说法，干脆保持沉默，要知道，缄默（可以说两句，但一定要做到言必有益，这对双方都有好处）在这个时候是最有用的。原因很简单：好的说不坏，坏的说不好，事实胜于雄辩。
  

The report says prevention programs can be effective if governments invest at least thirty cents a year per person. For more than twenty years, scientists have been trying to develop a vaccine to prevent H. I. V. infection. The latest failures came last September. Researchers halted two studies of an experimental AIDS vaccine from the drug company Merck. Early results showed that the vaccine not only failed to protect, it appeared to put some people at higher risk of infection. Last Tuesday, several hundred researchers and activists met in Bethesda, Maryland, for a Summit on H. I. V. Vaccine Research and Development. They debated what to do now. Many of the scientists agreed that experimental vaccines should continue to be tested on humans. But many said there should be less dependence on human trials. Anthony Fauci is head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which called the meeting. He and others said there should be more tests on animals, to add to discoveries from human studies. There also were calls for a return to more basic science, first identifying and answering major scientific questions. But Doctor Fauci said the search for an AIDS vaccine will not stop.

A new study says Asia must do more to prevent AIDS, or the number of people infected with H. I. V. could double by two thousand twenty. Today about five million people in Asia are living with the virus that causes AIDS. An estimated three hundred thousand people died of H. I. V. -related diseases in Asia last year. At current rates, that number could rise to almost five hundred thousand. The United Nations program on H. I. V. /AIDS requested the study, led by Indian economist Chakravarthi Rangarajan. The report says three main groups are driving the spread of AIDS in Asia. One group is sex workers and the men who use them. Another is injection drug users who share needles. And the third group are men who have unprotected sex with other men. Researchers estimate that as many as ten million women in Asia sell sex. At least seventy-five million men buy on a regular basis. In many Asian countries, these men, and their female partners, represent the largest group of people living with H. I. V. The study found that AIDS is the most likely cause of death and lost work days for people in Asia between the ages of fifteen and forty-four.

Now, as those values fall, some people owe more than their home is worth. Many buyers, often with risky credit histories, took out adjustable-rate mortgages, which started out low but later reset to higher rates. About two percent of all home loans are in foreclosure. Of course, that means ninety-eight percent of homes are not being reclaimed by lenders. Still, this is the highest rate since the Mortgage Bankers Association began keeping records in nineteen seventy-nine. The weak housing market is largely responsible for an economic crisis that is leading to new government steps in the financial system. Last week, the Federal Reserve pushed through a deal for J. P. Morgan Chase to buy Bear Stearns for two dollars a share. Bear, the nation's fifth-largest investment bank, was near collapse after big losses on its mortgage-backed securities. To help make the deal, the Fed agreed to take responsibility for up to thirty billion dollars in those securities. But J. P. Morgan faced a rebellion by Bear shareholders, so this week it increased its offer to ten dollars a share. It also agreed to take responsibility for one billion dollars of Bear's hard-to-sell securities.
