How to Fix a Relationship

If you're having a problem with your relationship, you're not alone 1. However, you can make it work out if you decide to work together to fix it.

Recognize the problems. Any number of problems could do harm to your relationship. You should look for signs and symptoms of the problems you're facing. Listening attentively is the key, which can help you understand what he or she is feeling. 2. Actually think about what the person is saying, and maybe try to understand what is behind the words, as well. You also have a right to discuss what you’re feeling and thinking. The key is to keep a calm head. 3. Once you’ve figured out what your problems are together, have a conversation to find ways to solve them. How can you solve the problems in a way that both of you can live with? 4. Start with the place you both agree on. Maybe you can both agree on the problem at least, or maybe you can agree on the first step to the solution. For instance, maybe you agree that you are feeling disconnected. Maybe you can take it one step further and agree that you need to spend more time together.

Make a plan together. Once you’ve agreed to solutions, it’s time to put them into concrete terms. For instance, if you both agree you need to spend more time together, then maybe the agreement will be that you should make a date at least once a week.

Find ways to compromise. The key to any relationship is learning to compromise. 5.Compromising is about finding common ground, and both of you giving in a little on the issue.

A. Spend time connecting.

B. Talk about solutions together.

C. Don’t just let the words pass over you.

D. In other words, you need to look for common ground.

E. Most people have trouble with relationships at one point or another.

F. You can’t just expect to win every argument, as relationships need to give and take.

G. Whatever you need to do, take a few minutes to calm down before continuing the discussion.

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! "

This guy's a winner , right?  Maybe , maybe not. We then discover that he bought  $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!

He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) says, " During Govemor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs ! " That's true. However, an honest statement would  have been , " During Govemor Smith's term , the state had a <u>net gain </u>of two million jobs. "

Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, " Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of deception happens too often. lt's a sad fact of life :Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras” – cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time – will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.

As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture – not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.

In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time – a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.

Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.

1.According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happen in 2114?

A. The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.

B. A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.

C. Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.

D. Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed.

2.What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?

A. They spend little time on works.

B. They consider works deliberately.

C. They spend much money on works.

D. They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.

3.What is the purpose of  the wave of slow art?

A. To advocate creating works of art slowly.

B. To encourage people to consider works more deliberately.

C. To protect works of art from being damaged.

D. To promote works of art for modern culture.

4.How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?

A. It’s busy.

B. It’s awful.

C. It’s developed.

D. It’s discouraging.

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

1.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.

A. he was struck by the lightning once more.

B. nobody in the world cared about him.

C. he had to live in a dark and silent world.

D. a terrible traffic accident happened to him.

2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?

A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

B. Driving a car.

C. Taking a walk with a stick.

D. Lying on the ground.

3.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery

B. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured

C. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock

D. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery

4.What’s the best title of the whole passage?

A. An Unforgettable Experience

B. Robert Edwards and His Wife

C. What a Sudden Shock

D. A Terrible Electrical Accident
