10、to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I turned in some long-saved frequent flier miles(航空积分里程) for the airplane ticket, but had to shell out cash I really couldnt afford for the hotel. I found a travel website where a discounted promotional 3-night stay was purchased
11、 from a recently opened hotel. About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable to another person, couldnt be changed to a later date and wasnt refundable(可退款的)For the next two weeks, I tried selling it on Craigs list with no success.
12、 Five days before the “big weekend” I gave up trying to spend any money and decided Id contact some friends who live in Chicago and offer someone a free “staycation”. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste. Thats wh
13、en it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the rooms in the wrong way. Instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. I finally found one whose focus is a
14、iding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and facilitated the transfer of the rooms.

17、t to one of his friends.BOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when
18、 I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet
19、 on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those migh
20、ty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting（面对） a huge player, who had nothing but me betwe

22、ed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; Boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little b

Trying without success is meaningless.D. Repeated failure creates a better life.CFor anyone still doubting the belief that o
26、ur emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those fi
27、ndings to cover older adultsa group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Aucklands Elizabeth Broadbent made a study fea
