When I was reading some papers in my office that day, a patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She 21 all the things she had to do -one was to 22 -from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she 23 by not making her bed for two weeks. She was 24 , probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my 25 .
Two weeks later she went into my office ,26 . She had left her bed 27 for the first time in 30 years-and nothing bad had happened. “And guess what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
This woman had made two major breakthroughs. One was discovering that she had 28 in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself 29 to be less that 30 . This story shows an important principle (原理) about 31 time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The 32 is, many people choose in ways that put 33 and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.
So what is the 34 ? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should 35 regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be 36 parts of life. The 37 is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel 38 about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as 39 as your mother kept hers. 40 more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.

Rubber ducks are being used to help scientists understand global warming and melting glaciers. NASA researchers have 21 90 ducks into holes in Greenland's fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada. The 22 have each been marked with the words "science experiment" along with an e-mail address. If they are found scientists will be able to 23 how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the 24 of glaciers. Scientists are still 25 about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea. One theory is that as the summer sun melts ice on top of the glacier's surface, the water moves to the bottom of the glacier, where it helps to 26 the movement of ice toward the coast. The Jakobshavn Glacier is believed to be the 27 of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. Robert Jones, the experiment organizer, said none of the ducks had been 28 yet. "We haven't heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us a/an 29 that they have found it," he said.
