Last month we bought our two-year-old daughter a little dog. There are not many children of her age there we live, and we thought a dog would make her feel less alone. We were right. They play together happy. Our daughter now smiles and laughs a lot more than she used. It is just like having two children in the house. All of them are very untidy, but they cry when they do not get what they want. The dog is easy to look after than my daughter. He always ate up all his food and we don’ t have piles of dirty clothes to wash. My wife is also happy because that I have given up smoke. The dog doesn't like the smell.

Psychology says that many are unwilling to take risks. It’s human nature to be nervous about putting ourselves on the line, whether physically or emotionally. But it’s good for us to do that once in a while, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired result. 1.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some just sit and wish they would not have the fear to move on because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don't let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. 2..
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances. 3.. This risk-taking attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Roller Coasters and bungee jumping are two common risk-taking activities that even the average person seems to enjoy despite the logical understanding that danger is not fun. This psychological connection creates an interesting connection between what is safe and what human enjoys.
Without taking risks, nothing good can happen. Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk.4.. We need to take risks so that we can accomplish things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside of a rocket; however, the things they achieve are literally astronomical. Investors take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they couldn’t receive money on their investment.
5.. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. That is all part of the game. It’s not one of the most important parts of life.
A.Move forward and move on
B.There is no such thing as a perfect safety.
C.In that way, we become stronger and braver.
D.Thus, we will achieve more success in daily life.
E.We need to take risks so that we can gain something.
F.You must spend more time thinking about the strategies of risk.
G.Risk-taking is a benefit that allowed ancient people to discover new places.
CHICAGO(Reuters)－Smoking not only can wrinkle (皱纹) the face and turn it yellow—it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.
The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body－even skin protected from the sun.
“We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarette smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced, ”Dr. Yolanda, who led the study, said in a statement.
“In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years. ” Yolanda’s team added in their report.
The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s skin was.
When skin is exposed to sunlight, especially the face, it becomes coarse(粗糙的), wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow color, Yolanda's team wrote.
Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking led to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
The previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels(血管)beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩), reducing blood supply to the skin.
Smoking can also damage the connective tissue(组织)that supports both die skin and the internal organs (器官).
