One of the biggest complaints in modern ...

    One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy” . _______ is just “fine” any more.

When people aren’t super busy at _______, they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting. And if  there is ever a still moment for thoughts—for example, while waiting _______ at the supermarket or sitting  in traffic—out come the mobile phones. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in Science, which shows how _______ people will go to avoid the examination for our thoughts.

“We had noted  that we  are  so  dependent on  our mobile  phones that  people seem to  find  any _______ they can to keep busy,” said Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia. In his experiments involving 700 people, the majority found it _______ to be alone with their thoughts for just 6 to 15 minutes.

It could  be because human beings,  as problem solvers and  meaning makers, when _______, tend to    think about what’s wrong in their lives. When we aren’t _______ our Facebook page, the things we haven’t  figured out appear in our minds—_______ relationships, professional failures, health concerns, etc. Unless   there is a solution, these thoughts just ________ themselves in our heads.

But you can’t solve problems ________ you don’t allow yourself time to  think about them. It has     actually been ________ by our culture, which values doing more than thinking and believes answers are in     your hand ________ in your head. “We  all fell that busyness  is ________ but it’s really harmful,”  said     Timothy. “There’s a widespread belief that thinking will only slow you down and get ________, but it’s the opposite.” ________ negative feelings only makes them more powerful, he said. Allowing and ________ the  flow of thoughts is part of the solution itself, such as meditation(冥想).

Negative feelings are sometimes hard, but they are part of everyone’s life, ________ if you are busy. It is those deep  and troubling feelings,  and how you ________ them, that make you who  you are. While    busyness may seem to prevent the flow of sadness, it may also limit your ability to be filled with ________.

    Sometimes it can be hard to recognize a true friend, one who is loyal(忠诚的)and one who is worth keeping by your side. The suggestions provided in this article will help to guide you in working out which friends are likely to be true.

Be able to trust your friends. You should be able to trust true friends and they should return this trust. Your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows. Let you share secrets. Ask you for advice.1. However, if your friends hide things from you and act secretive, this could be a sign that they do not trust you, but it could also mean your friends keep to themselves or don’t like to reveal too much about themselves.

Consider comfort. How comfortable do your friends feel when they are around you? Watch them, are they being themselves or are they timid (胆怯的)around you? 2.True friendships can take a while to develop, but if your friends are true, they should feel comfortable around you.

3.This is not meant in a romantic way, but consider whether your friends are comfortable with the touch. If your friends are fine with hugging you, leaning on you, resting their heads on your shoulder and so forth, then you can judge they love you.

Think about loyalty. True friends are always there for one another. If you are in need of a helping hand, your true friends should be there to offer it to you. 4.You can trust friends with anything, knowing that they will be loyal and will not let your secrets out.

Look at how you fight. Nearly all best friends fight; so if you and your friend have a little dispute(争论), don't sweat it! 5.. They will not tell each other’s secrets and they still care about each other.

A.Consider the touch barrier.

B.Consider how you insult each other.

C.They should know that you are not serious.

D.These are sure signs that your friends trust you.

E.Are they acting fake—perhaps hiding an insecurity?
