At the age of forty-five， my usually well-ordered life became full of changes． After twenty-two years of working in a bank， a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people． Unluckily，was one of them．
    My once secure future became uncertain． However， I was not a single parent， so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family． My motto has always been，"Change is good； change is progress， but when it affected my livelihood， I had to change it "Accept change and make the most of it．" From the beginning， 1 chose to look at this matter not as bad luck， but as a welcome chance． I refused to become sorry； instead， I actively planned to do something new and different．
    Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future． First， I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have． Doing this at my age took more than a little courage． Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank， but now it a personal goal I longed to achieve． With a lot of determination， I went to evening classes and became an adult student． In the class， I became more and more confident． During this time，I realized that no matter what life throws in our way， nothing can hinder our personal growth．
    The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life． It used to be filled with endless，and sometimes meaningless events． But now， my heart and life are completely around people I care for．
    The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life． Revisiting the past made room for the future． I realize that I have accepted the change， and am making the most of it．

1．How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day？Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people．
You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity（肥胖） in the long term，to reduced cholesterol（膽固醇） maintenance in the short term，not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine（脊柱）．
To make matters worse，a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise，according to an article in The New York Times．The article reported that a study of nearly 9，000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day，the risk of dying rose by 11 percent．In other words，sitting is killing us．
Stand up for health．Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing．
The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting．They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day．The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood，and when they sat around．When they looked at the data，there were some striking differences．Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair．Standing also burned more calories（熱量單位：卡路里）-about 50 calories an hour．Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30，000 extra calories，or around 3.63 kilograms of fat．
John Buckley，a member of the research team，said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits，our bodies also need the constant，almost imperceptible（感覺不到的） increase in muscle activity that standing provides．Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control．
The researchers believe that even small adjustments，like standing while talking on the phone，going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail，or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator，will help．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

79．The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University of Chester in the UK are that standing

3．Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. （1）

The problems，however，become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution.This can cause anxiety and stress.However，all you need to do is remain calm and use a new，different method.Here are some easy ways to solve problems.

Often，to solve a problem，you need to test your limits.You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself.If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person，you will not be able to deal with the problem.Nevertheless，if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem，you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new.
