   Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a  (36)  . The word geography  (37)  from two Greek words, gee, the Greek word for” earth" and graphein,  (38)  means "to write. ” The English word geography means "to describe the earth. ” Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or a  (39)  continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of  (40)  is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the  (41)  . Starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject,  (42)   branches can neglect the other.
   A geographer might be described  (43)  one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places  (44)  alike, there would be little need for geographers.
   We know, however  (45)  no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.

I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife's intuition.
   We were looking; for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.
   "Well, she runs nicely,” I told my wife after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?"
   "I don't like it"
   "Why not?"
    "I don't know. There's just something about lie salesman that I don't believe. "
    A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.
    Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman's intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn't working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don't have?

Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
     Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?
     The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 0' clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
    The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what the causes of stress in our life are, and whether we can do anything about it.
   Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇)in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or-fellow workers all they should be?    
   All these things can be a cause of stress, and it. is. best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations(失意)into the open.
   People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle their feelings.
   If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath (anger) “is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.

Scientists have developed a slimming (减肥) drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.
    The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.
    Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 percent of the food they would normally eat.
    As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 percent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.
    Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the, same chemical pathways as those in mice.
     "We are not claiming to have found a fabled(神奇的) weight-loss drug. What we have found, using C75, is a major pathway in the brain that body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice," said Francis Khaddar, a pathologist and senior team member.

Good teachers often encourage their students to think for themselves.

Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern worldly.
