One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first 16 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 17 and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 18 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere 19 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 20 . So I 21 him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
22 a shaky voice he 23 answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 24 some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could 25 that this whole experience was 26 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to 27 him, either. It was going to take more time and 28 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone, 29 out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my 30 about him known. I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him 31 they could.
The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing 32 . He owned the dance floor 33 meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 34 every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 35 as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

Being alone in outer space can be 36 . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth. 38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 40 is. When men are 41 together for a long period, they begin to feel 42 . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 43 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 45 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

The 3 started when my friend Katy found Grandma's false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I 4 took notice of them. But Katy shouted, laughing and 5 to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and 6 her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't 7 and get hurt.
After that happened, I 8 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.
Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King. 9 ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨无霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost 10 .
After a while, I started wishing I could 11 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel 12 in our home.

Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times 1 , cost-conscious workouts（锻炼）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed 2 by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as 3 boot camp（强力集中训练） and circuit training.
"People are looking 4 for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little 5 time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this 6 year the majority of the respondents put 7 it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness 8 professionals responded to the annual poll 9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures 10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training 11 classes and in-home workouts 12 using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs 13 . Working with two to four clients at a 14 time they can charge less 15 but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn 16 calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受压制的） consumers 17 seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up 18 in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong 19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase 20 in the coming year.
