You know whether you’re a morning person or a night owl. You know whether you’re a picky eater of a human garbage pail. But do you know if you learn better by reading or by hearing If you’ve survived school so far, you already have some sort of study routine for better or worse.

The Dreamer
You may say you’re studying. You may even look like you’re studying. But your mind is in the clouds. Your test performance seldom reflects those long hours you spent at your desk, almost studying. Kim, from Montreal, says:" When I get to the library, I end up sitting there and people-watching." Cindy, from Lafayette, Pennsylvania, says:" Personally, I tend to write everything down on flash cards so I can quiz myself l

When you stop smoking, you’re likely to feel tense, nervous,
irritable, anxious — even eat more. You may think it’s purely psychological, but
it’s also physical. It’s caused by your body craving nicotine — physically
craving nicotine. And Habitrol can help relieve those cravings.
Habitrol is a nicotine patch, available only by prescription from your
doctor. It replaces some of the nicotine you’re not getting from cigarettes and
helps lessen the effects of your withdrawal symptoms. When used as part of a
comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program, Habitrol has been clinically
proven to increase the chances of quitting smoking in the critical first three
months. That’s when the nicotine withdrawal symptoms force many people back to
smoking.
Remember how stressed out, anxious and burdensome you
felt the last time you tried to quit And how you thought it was purely
psychological and there was nothing that could help you Well, now

Many people are afraid to assert (表现) themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it’s because their self-respect is low. "Our whole (48) is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There’s always (49) around--a parent, a teacher, a boss--who ’knows better’. These superiors often gain when they chip (削弱) away at your self-image."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people. (50) themselves. They (51) "assertiveness training" courses--AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more (52) without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to (53) fear.
[单项选择]Sometimes it’s just hard to choose. You’re in a restaurant and the waiter has his pen at the ready. As you hesitate, he gradually begins to take a close interest in the ceiling, his fingernails, then in your dining partner. Each dish on the menu becomes a blur as you roll your eyes up and down in a growing panic. Finally, you desperately opt for something that turns out to be what you hate.
It seems that we need devices to protect us from our hopelessness at deciding between 57 barely differentiated varieties of stuff-be they TV channels, gourmet coffee, downloadable ring tones, or perhaps, ultimately even interchangeable lovers. This thought is opposed to our government’s philosophy, which suggests that greater choice over railways, electricity suppliers and education will make us happy. In my experience, they do anything but.
Perhaps the happiest people are those who do not have much choice and aren’t confronted by the misery of endless choice. True, that misery may not be

[单项选择]Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people How do you start a conversation Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting—whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device (装置), that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors ca
