The skin, which acts as     1     barrier against disease, poisons and the sun’s     2    (harm) rays, is an essential part of your body. So if your skin gets burned, it can be very serious. Depending on     3     layers of the skin are burned, they are called first, second or third degree burns. First degree burns make an impact only     4     the top layer of the skin and it turns white when    5     (press). Second degree burns include severe sunburn and burns     6     (cause) by hot liquids. Third degree burns cause little or no pain if the nerves are damaged; maybe paint around the edge of injured area. If possible, we should do some first aid.

Cool burns     7     (immediate) with the cool but not icy water, which prevents the pain becoming     8     (bear) and reduce the swelling. It is     9     (help) to put cloths in a basin of cold water, squeeze them out and place them on the burned area over and over again. Hold the bandage     10     place with tape if necessary. Lastly, it is vital that we should get the victim to the doctor or hospital at once if the injuries are second or third degree burns.

Ways of Communication

When you speak, write a letter or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you know people also communicate     1     words? A smile on your face       2     (show) you are happy     3     friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want     4     (say) something or ask questions.

Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know     5     bus to take. A sign on the wall of     6     (you) school helps you to find the library. Signs on the doors tell you where to go in or out. Actually     7     (see) signs of one kind or another is something that you can expect anytime anywhere. You receive     8     (message) from them all the time.

People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about     9     (beauty) mountains, the blue seas and many other things. Books     10     (write) to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked     1     (pay) a visit to a special student. An     2     (ill) had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest     3     meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

The thirteen-year-old,     4     had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）, wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew how to deal with difficulties.

I spent over an hour talking to him. Never once     5     he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about going for his dreams.     6     (obvious), he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention his classmates had made fun of him because he was     7     (disable). He just talked about his hopes for the future. When we had finished     8     (talk), I pulled out     9     first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. He looked at it for a moment, then     10     (take) it off and handed it back to me. He said, “Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

When someone has     1     (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly     2     (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, studies     3     (show) that people who forgive others can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show     4     (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness of the immune system and allow people     5     (feel) more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something     6     gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an     7     (apologize), which will be disturbing. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in the same way.     8     if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting for a very long time.”

Next, keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean     9     (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you, which can lead to positive psychology. Finally, try to see things     10     the other person’s point of view.
