The Olympic Games started in ancient Greece nearly 3, 000 years ago. Young men showed their     21     by competing in sports. But the ancient Olympic Games were not just about sports. The Greeks also used the Games to honour their gods, particularly (特别地) Zeus. Zeus is     22     the king of the Greek gods. Many of the ancient Greek's sports are still played today, including wrestling (摔跤), running, jumping and throwing contests. But there is one     23    . In ancient Greece, the athletes competed naked (赤裸), and they were all male! The ancient Games mostly ended in 146BC. But the modern Olympic Games started again in 1896 and now people from all over the world     24     them!

This year, garbage sorting(垃圾分类) is an important task for us to do. Even children in kindergartens had classes on this at the beginning of the term(学期). Students learned to throw garbage into the right bins. We will have a more     25     life if there are fewer garbage problems. "I will     26     tell my family about garbage sorting when I get home." said a third-grade girl . "I usually put plastic food delivery boxes in the recyclable (可回收) bin, but now I know it is wrong, " said another student. "They should go into the dry rubbish bin     27    ." Some schools also held different activities to teach students how to collect and reuse garbage.The garbage problem will never     28    , but we can think of some good ways to deal with it.

With temperatures finally dropping down to single figures, and the sky turning black before 6 p.m.,it's pretty unarguable(不容置疑的) that winter has well and truly hit Edinburgh. It's cold, it's dull, and getting out of bed only gets harder every day, but by investing in these top four winter essentials you can make winter that little bit more bearable.

Unless you get lucky with the timing of your lectures, too many of us have to brave the early morning starts. When not even the Sun is up, it's pretty hard to drive yourself, and it's much more preferable to keep yourself in bed for as long as possible. But boiling the kettle, filling a flask and walking out of the door takes no time at all.

When the cold wind hits, it's your face that takes most of the battering. While your hands and body can be protected with layers of clothing, your face has no such luxury(奢侈品). So it's particularly important for both men and women to give it some protection of its own in the form of a moisturiser. I recommend Olay Compete 3-in-1 Moisturiser Day Cream to keep your skin soft and smooth.

If you don't know about magic gloves, then you're missing out. They're full-fingered and just as comfortable as regular gloves, but with the added bonus of still allowing you to use touch-screen phones. They are readily available on Amazon for low prices. Once you wear magic gloves, you'll never go back.     

Soup is another necessity when the winter comes around. Sure, it's easy enough to buy in a supermarket, but most people don't realize how easy it is to make their own soup, and how much cheaper it is. All you need is some vegetables and a hand blender. Argos sells one for just £4 and with all the parts you could get out of this, there's no excuse not to have one.

Scientists have studied more than two million people for over 40 years and found people were more likely to die on the day when they were born than any other day. So be careful putting out the birthday candles. For example, William Shakespeare died ______ on his birthday on April 23rd, 1616. The actress Ingrid Bergman who fought against the illness strongly also died on her birthday, in August 1982 even though she never gave up.

In general, people over the age of 60 are more likely to pass away on their birthdays. Heart diseases rise 18.6 percent for both men and women. Dr Vladeta Ajdacic Gross of the Zurich University said, "Birthday turning into ______ day happen more often than people expect." He added that the risk of the birthday death increase as people got older. The older people are, the more danger of the birthday death. A Canadian research also showed that stroke(中风) were more likely to happen on people's birthdays, especially among old people.

There was a 34.9 percent rise in suicides(自杀) and a 28.5 percent rise in accidental deaths. Besides, there was also a 44 percent rise in a at people ______ buildings on their birthdays. Professor Richard wiseman of the Hertfordshire University said "It's a believable finding. There are two groups - one is that people eat too much or are over excited, ______ then that causes people to die. The other is that people keep themselves going unhappily before their birthdays' coming. Then they think they have had ______ things in the world on their special days."

Dr Lewis Halsey of the Roehampton University said, "One ______ situation is that more suicides happen on birthdays, but only in men. Perhaps men prefer to make a statement about their difficult life for they think people will take more notice of them on that day."

Parents often say, I don't understand why my child is acting this way. We've given him everything in the world, and he just wants more. He's n    56     happy. He doesn't enjoy what he has."

For some reason, we often feel that if we give our child everything he wants to keep him happy, he should behave the way we want him to. An important part of m    57    . children's emotional(情感的) needs is to set limits often and firmly in a loving way. Parts who learn to set limits in a loving way set them more often because they don't have to wait until they've had it up to here to do so.

A therapeutic(治疗的) way of setting limits is called ACT: acknowledge(承认) the feeling.

Communicate the limit,and target(把……作为目标) the c    58    . Necessarily, you're saying to the child, "I understand h    59     you feel. It's OK to feel that way, but you can act that way when you feel like that. You can act this way when you feel like that. "But it's also important to communicate this message in a loving way, not an a    60    way.

Using ACT limit setting teaches children to cope with their emotions and to find proper behavior expressions that don't hurt the children t    61    . It can also be used to teach children to delay gratification (满意). Here are some examples of how it works if your child wants a toy when you're at the store and you don't want to buy it, you can say, "(A) You love that toy and want it right now. (C) But we're not spending any money on toys today. (T) You can put it on your wish list for birthday or Christmas." Using this skill, you'll learn to set reasonable limits that work. If you set limits too s    62    , you're also more likely to give in. because you feel guilty. If you don't follow through with a result or you make one that's too strict, you teach your child not to believe you.

It seems like no one has time for diary writing anymore. With social media sites and online blogs, we are becoming even more used to constant updates on our own and everyone else’s lives, so much so that sharing our most personal thoughts online is turning into a highly normalized practice.

However, sharing personal information online leads to its own set of problems. A recent study discusses how employers use sites such as Facebook to get potential(可能得) employees. It indicates that this trend was becoming a problem for job hunters since some of them used online pages essentially as “personal diary pages”. If keeping a sort of diary is what you are after, then why do you do it online and in such a public fashion given the potential disadvantages? Do blogs and social media sites offer something more than a simple written diary can?

Blogs are very popular at the moment. This year Tumblr alone registered around 150 million users and it is just one of the many places treated by some users as an extended published diary. Blogger Diana M. Rabb even calls the practice of blogging “a public forum of since it is written with an audience in mind”.

Blogging, however, has its own advantages. Editing issues aside, the thrill of your personal reflections receiving almost instant acclaim(称赞) from online followers is a great boost. Undoubtedly, there is also a real therapeutic aspect to simply writing. As early as 1982, an article in the British Medical Journal detailed the treatment of some minor psychotic disorders(轻微的精神病) which involved patients keeping diaries between therapy sessions(治疗时期) so as to give them some sense of “mastery” over their treatment.
