In a competitive and fast-paced modern society, busy business

executives are so engrossing in their work that they hardly know 【M1】______

what the word "leisure" means. The higher an executive's posi-

tion is on the business ladder, the more hours he spends on his

work. With a view to gaining greater corporate standing or a big 【M2】______

pay rise, he, as a rule, far exceeds

over the 40-hour working week. The additional stress and tension 【M3】______

as well as the shortage of suitable rest and recreation very often 【M4】______

have a disastrous effect on his health. Few such executives rea-

lize that unless they learn how to relax, they will soon run of 【M5】______

steam before they get to the top of the executive ladder. A not-

ed American authority on leisure has said that "The key to relax-

ation to busy executives is to avoid the types of activities that are 【M6】______

part and parcel of their daily work and to devote themselves to-

tally to have recreational pursuits for at least a part of each day, 【M7】______

even it is only for half an hour. Those 【M8】______

jobs require a great deal of contact with others can engage in ac- 【M9】______

tivities that are quiet and peacefulfar from the madding

crowd, far from client and business associates." 【M10】______

They enjoy watching the results of their actions. This is how children

晒过的被子有一种芳香的干爽味，是那些把衣服拿到洗衣店然后取回来安心穿在身上的人嗅不出来的。酒店最令我不安的是那些没晒过的被子和床单，每一次都让我皮肤过敏，甚至不能入睡。

而我却又最怕阳光，在太阳光底下晒10分钟，脸上的雀斑立刻如山洪暴发。每天出门前都涂上防晒霜，才能安心见温柔的太阳。要真是艳阳天的话，我会抖擞全身勇气躲在伞底下，然后以最快速度躲入室内。

每一件细碎琐事都充塞着这般爱恨和矛盾。我爱阳光来晒被，自身又要躲开它。

e on the banks of the Loire River, to realize just what it is that is odd. Then you get it: there are empty parking slots, which is highly unusual in big French towns.

Two decades of effort to make life more livable by dissuading people from driving into town has made Nantes a beacon for other European cities seeking to shake dependence on the automobile.

The effects were clear recently during Mobility Week, a campaign sponsored by the European Union that prompted more than 1,000 towns across the Continent to test ways of making their streets, if not car- free, at least manageable. "That is an awfully difficult problem," acknowledges Joel Crawford, an author and leader of the "car free" movement picking up adherents all over Europe. "You can't take cars oat of cities until there is some sort of alternative in place. But there are a lot of forces pointing in the direction of a major reduction in car use, like the rise in fuel prices, and concerns about global warming."

Last week, proclaiming the slogan "In Town, Without my Car !" hundreds of cities closed off whole chunks of their centers to all but essential traffic. Nantes closed just a few streets, preferring to focus on alternatives to driving so as to promote "Clever Commuting", the theme of this year's EU campaign. Volunteers pedaled rickshaws along the cobbled streets, charging passengers $1.20 an hour; bikes were available for free; and city workers encouraged children to walk to school along routes supervised by adults acting as Pied Pipers and picking up kids at arranged stops.

The centerpiece is a state-of-the-art tramway providing service to much of the town, and a network of free, multistory parking lots to encourage commuters to "park and ride". Rene Vincendo, a retired hospital worker waiting at one such parking lot for his wife to return from the city center, is sold. "To go into town, this is brilliant," he says. "I never take my car in now."

It is not cheap, though. Beyond the construction costs, City Hall subsidizes fares to the tune of 60 million euros ($ 72 million) a year, making passengers pay only 40 percent of operating costs.

That is the only way to draw people onto trams and buses, says de Rugy, since Nantes, like many European cities, is expanding, and commuters find themselves with ever-longer distances to travel. The danger, he warns, is that "the further you go down the route of car dependence, the harder it is to return, because so many shops, schools and other services are built beyond the reach of any financially feasible public-transport network." This, adds de Rugy, means that "transport policy is only half the answer. Urban planners and transport authorities have to work hand in hand to ensure that services are provided close to transport links."

The carrot-and-stick approach that Nantes has taken — cutting back on parking in the town center and making it expensive, while improving public transport — has not reduced the number of cars on the road. But it has "put a brake on the increase we would have seen otherwise" and that other European cities have seen, says Dominique Godineau, head of the city's "mobility department".

In the wild, the sense of smell fulfils animals basic needs, like the search for food. A hungry polar bear living in a barren and frozen landscape can smell the carcass of a seal over great distances, and it can also tell from the smell whether the carcass is going to be fit to eat or not.

Animals that live on land receive scent messages through the air, but scents can be detected in water too. Sharks have a highly efficient sense of smell, and the hammerhead shark has evolved its strange shaped head in order to make it an even more efficient hunter. The hammerhead can detect blood at several hundred meters. It has nostrils at each end of its T-shaped head, and by moving its head from side to side it can home in on its prey, by following the stronger of the two scent signals.

《圣经》在英语的发展过程中对英语的影响可谓深远。她不仅对英语的词汇的补充和习惯用语的形成功不可没，人们在日常交往中对其的引用更是无处不见。美国有位词汇学教授曾经说过，难以想像一个没有读过《圣经》的人能够学好英语。我们无意去讨论这位教授的话对错与否，但我们对《圣经》对于英语学习的作用却是肯定的。本栏借此一角，以中英文对照的形式向广大英语爱好者提供原汁原味的《圣经》故事。

No Englishman believes in working from book learning. He suspects

everything new, and dislikes it, unless he can be compelled by the force of

circumstances to see that this new thing has advantage over the old.

Race-experience is what he invariably depends upon, when he can, 【M1】______

whether in India, in Egypt, or in Australia.

His statesmen do not consult historic precedents in order to decide 【M2】______

what to do: they first learn the facts that they are; then they depend upon 【M3】______

their own common sense, not at all upon their university learning and upon 【M4】______

philosophical theories. And in case of the English nation, it must be 【M5】______

acknowledged that this instinctive method has been extremely successful.

The last people from whom praise can be expected, even for what is

worth of all praise, are the English. The Englishman all the time is 【M6】______

studying, considering, trying to find fault. Why should he try to find fault?

So that he will not make any mistakes at a later day. He was inherited the 【M7】______

trouble caution of his ancestors in regards to mistakes. It must be granted 【M8】______

that his caution has saved him from a number of very serious mistakes

that other nations have made. It must also be acknowledged that he exercises

a fair amount of moderation in the opposite direction—this modern

Englishman; he has learned caution of other kind, which his ancestors 【M9】______

taught him "Power should be used with moderation; for whoever finds

himself among valiant men will discover that no man is superior than others." 【M10】______

uiyang, Guizhou Province wanted to turn the area into a "central business district" for Guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give it an entirely new look. The design company came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. This triggered off different responses.

幸福可以被描绘成一种积极的情绪和一种愉快的心境。

根据最近的民意测验，百分之六十到七十的美国人认为他们自己基本上是幸福的；而每二十个人中有一个人认为自己非常不幸福。心理学家们一直在研究构成幸福的因素。幸福是不可预卜的，而一个处于表面上最理想的环境中的人也不一定就会幸福。理想的环境和他实际的感觉之间可能没有什么关系。
