Our daily existence is divided to two phases, as S1.______
distinct as day and night. We call them work and play.
And, when we have allowed the necessary minimum
for such activities as eating and shop, the rest we S2.______
spend in various activities where are known as S3.______
recreations, an elegant word which disguise the fact S4.______
that we usually do not even play in our hours of
leisure, but spend them in various forms of passive
enjoyment or entertainment—not playing football but
watching football matches; not acting
but theatre-going.
We need to make, therefore, a hard-and-fast
distinction not only between work and play but
equal between active play and passive entertainment. S5.______
It seems that the decline of active play—of amateur
sport—and the enormous growth of purely receptive
entertainment which has given rise a sociological S6.______
interest in the problem, If the greater part of the
population, instead indulging in sport, spends S7.______
hour of leisure viewing television programmers, there S8.______
will inevitably be a decline in health and physique.
We should live art if we would be affect by art. We S9.______
should paint rather than appreciate painting,
play piano rather than go to concerts, dance and sing
and act ourselves, engaging all our the senses in the S10.______
touch of arts.

W: Yes. For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside our own solar system. of course we knew that certain distant stars existed but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.
M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?
W: Well, you have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It would be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.
M: But if the astronomers didn't see the planets through a telescope, how did they find them?
W: Bra very indirect method. The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of the light from the parent stars and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth, They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.
M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?
W: They should be able to see them at least in the form. of small spots of light. And then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this, they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets--oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be telltale signs of life on these planets.
M: I'm looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I'm sure our readers would be interested too.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know that man is here for the sake of other men—above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily from the work of other men.
To ponder interminably over the reason for one's own existence or the meaning of life in general seems to me, from an objective point of view, to be sheer foxily. And yet everyone holds certain ideals by which he guides his aspiration and his judgment. The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort and happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.

A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of bad news.We must not forget that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue.The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ in virtually every newspaper and magazine.What a tremendously useful service they perform. for the community!
