26、ow that most smokers quit several times before they quit forever. Dont give up, and keep trying!I too, tried to quit several times. Every smoker knows the health risks of smoking, but we still do it. I smoked for about two dozen years, a pack a day. To give up smoking, I tried the gum, chocolate, et

27、c. in the past. I did have some success, though. Then some stress would hit me at my job or family and I would start smoking again. One day, I got fired because I was caught smoking on duty. I took my things home, and smoked a whole pack in a few hours. Then I couldnt afford a pack anymore! This tim

28、e, I made up my mind to quit forever.A strong desire for cigarettes began in a few hours. I felt sick and anxious. Fortunately, those feelings were not new to me. From my previous quitting attempts, I guess I got things “immunized (免疫的)” to those. I held on. I kept some things in my mouth and hands

29、when I got restless. Gum, pens, guitar, whatever. When things got really bad, I used to run into a movie theater and watch movies. Luckily, I am a movie fan.

30、substitutes (代替者) for some weak moments. This is what worked for me. Distraction!

35、g their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.Behavioral consultant (顾问) Chris Calland said, “Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairytale for their kids.” “Theres nothing wrong with that as such. The problem arises when it me

36、ans always giving in to all our childrens demands even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate.”Ms. Calland, who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson, added, “Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest

37、 of the year paying off the bills.” “Yet so often the parcels weve carefully wrapped, once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in”.Ms. Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help par

38、ents manage their childrens Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”.Ms. Calland said, All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that were only building up problems for

39、 the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”“Children learn fast if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.

But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that

44、live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half

45、 of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news

46、 about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans

47、 have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope

48、with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!59. Which of t

52、ding fishing to protect fish stocks.C. The use of new techniques.D. Raising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.DWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things

53、. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term, they will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut

54、down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you ,and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform ef

55、fectively .Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Todays work place is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produce
