  I am a doctor. People often come to see me because they have colds or coughs. People    1    come to see me because they are sad or nervous. Sometimes   2   helps. Sometimes talking helps. But many doctors   3  that music can help people feel better. I asked a few of my patients how music helps them.

“Sometimes I was   4    when I was a child. My family said, ‘Play your feelings on the piano!’ Sometimes I play a loud   5  on the piano. Soon I feel calm. I can laugh and cry through my  6    on the piano. It’s natural for me. It’s like breathing(呼吸).”

“Listening to music helps me feel   7   . I like to listen to music and dance when I    8  my house.”

“I play the violin. I like playing at night   9   it is quiet. After playing I am tired and I am happy. I always sleep    10   after playing my violin.”

Are you a musician? Good! Keep playing. If you are not a musician, listen to music and sing or dance. It’s good medicine.

Proving Them Wrong !

I’m John Wood, a doctor at a famous Boston hospital.During the first two years of high school, I found biology very  1 . My report cards always said things like“must study hard ”or “John shouldn’t choose science 2  .” It was really terrible for  3 who had always dreamed of becoming a doctor. I lost confidence, so I left high school at sixteen and  4 working at a supermarket.

One evening I saw a documentary about Albert Einstein. According to the documentary , Einstein had done really5 at school. I began to think that if Einstein could  6  , then I may have a chance ,too. I didn’t want to leave my job,  7 I decided to go to night school to finish high school. Two years later, I went to a  8  university .

I’ve often thought I should contact (联系)the9 from the Einstein documentary and  10  him. As for the biology teacher, I might contact her, too, one day-but not to thank her !

  My favorite TV program is a reality show called Survivor (幸存者). It isn’t on TV at the moment  56  it was on  last year.

   In the show, two teams of people are taken to a (an)  57 . All of them have to sleep  58  because there aren’t any houses or hotels. They usually choose something really  59  like a toothbrush since they can only  60  one thing with them. The people also have to find food and they spend a lot of time fishing and collecting fruit from the  61 . Every week one person has to  62 . At the end, there are only two people on the island and one of them is   63   as the winner.

  I really like Survivor because it’s very  64  and the people have to do things like hunting for food. I really  65  myself when I watch it. I don’t want to be on the show, however, I like living in a house!

Deal with Conflict     

 Losing friends is about as easy as making friends if you don’t know how to deal with anger and conflict（冲突）. Conflict is part of everyone’s    56  .It will show up at school, at work and at home. It’s OK to feel angry, annoyed or sad. These feeling are   57  , but different people deal with 58    in different ways. Some people shout, call people names, or even hit the person who has    59   them. Others do their best to keep away from disagreements but very few deal with conflict    60  .     

  Dealing with conflict is a step by step process(过程).   61 you start discussing the problem, calm down, count to 10 and imagine a relaxing   62  .Then, say what is really bothering you, but watch how you express yourself. Don’t complain. Share    63   you feel by using “I…”. For example, don’t say“ You are always ordering me to do this or to do that,” but “I feel     64   because you don’t pay attention to what I think.”     

  You want people to     65   your opinion so make sure you practice what you want to say. Listen carefully to the other person and accept that he or she might see the problem in a different way. Be open-minded and willing to say sorry.[
