28、 childhood friendships in Indonesia.The novel and the film are fictionalized(把-编成小说) accounts of the presidents time in Jakarta and are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama.

35、cated in the gold hall of the hotel, is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped decorations and small white lights. But the necklaces, earrings and other jewellery hung around the trees branches are what give it a record value. “It holds a total of 181 diamonds, pearls, sapphires and other
36、precious stones,” said Khalifa Khouri, owner of Style Gallery, which provided the jewellery.“The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars,” Olbertz said. “The jewellery has a value of over 11 million dollarsI think $1,141,150.”“This will probably be an entry into the Guinness book of world records,” Olbe

64、pted, and you really dont have the time to help out, just say no. Youre only one person, and you cant save the world by yourself! Stop wasting time on the phone.

65、hat you can do. Dont set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if its a 10-minute walk, get awa
