13、 was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began to spend much of his income on these people.Since this required much time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties an
14、d therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time,James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile,as he was spending a lot helping others,she had struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not agai
15、nst his helping the poor,she urged him not to ignore his own home and life,but it had no effect on him.She decided to leave him ,never to return.Though he continued his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when
16、he took his position by the window,spending his time looking outside.A few weeks after my graduation,I returned to school,only to find the building gone.I heard that they were torn down.Everyone left except James.He refused to go and the next morning,he was found at his usual place by the window,dea

19、ersuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep you away from diseases? To live to a healthy old age? Youd think any of those reasons would be enough to get Americans exercising. Yet a vast majority of Americans have thus far failed to swallow the exercise pill.Now a
20、 research by psychologists strongly suggests its time to think of current well-being（幸福）and happiness as motivators for exercise instead of future health, weight loss and body image.Dr. Segar, one of the researchers, believes that immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones. People who s
21、ay they exercise for the quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exercise for its health benefits. He said. Other studies have shown that what keeps people moving depends on age, sex and life circumstances. For those of college age, physical attractivene
22、ss typically heads the list of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships and
23、sense of community that may otherwise be missing from their lives. Improving daily well-being is the most influential factor for the women. Men indicate they are motivated by more distant health benefits, but this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs.Exercise

66、ent of Grade 2 in senior high school. I m writing to tell you some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.Most of us feel nervous whenever were taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all tho
67、se symptoms have terrible effects on our exam and we are all eager to get rid of them.First of all, in my opinion, its important for us to have a right attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies. Study hard every day and make careful plans for
68、 every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exam, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
