One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing.Every day and everywhere there are problems.Many times we find it hard to stay happy.When one problem is solved,another one comes up.How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis.The three steps are:
Get the facts.
Why is it so important to get the facts?Unless you have the facts,you can't possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently.Without the facts,all you can do is wondering around in confusion.It is not an easy job to get facts.When you are worried,your emotions are riding high.1..
When trying to get the facts,you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person.2..You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree.Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case.You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
3..
Whenever you are worried,write down the questions that make you worry.And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step.For example,what am l worrying about? What can I do about it?Here is what I'm going to do about it.After carefully weighing all the facts,you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.
4..How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you?Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
5..If you know a situation is beyond your power,say to yourself:“It is so;it can't be otherwise.”Don't permit little things to ruin your happiness.Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A.Analyze the facts.
B.Accept what can't be avoided.
C.Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
D.This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
E.There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.
F.But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
G.Unless you take your action,all your fact-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers(消费者) have been willing to pay up to twice as much for organic goods. However, a study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious(有营养的), and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.
The latest results suggest that buyers may be wasting their money, "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford.
For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues did a review of two kinds of research, including 17 studies that compared health results between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were very small.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. Experts state that whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.

Papa was a ranger.He worked with horses.He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked.His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat—large black hat of heavy wool.He wore his hat full and high.I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.
Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes.But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather.She began to talk about his hat.
"Papa,"she said one day,"why don't you get a nice cool straw hat?That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat.But she didn't believe him.
Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long.At last papa answered,a little angry,"It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair."
Mama had a very serious look on her face.She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat.It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money.She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat,papa would wear it.When papa saw the hat,his face got red.Without a word,he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.
He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses.But as papa got close to the horses this time,they jumped high into the air,raising their front feet.All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn.Papa began to shout "Woo boys.Steady boys,steady." But there was nothing equal to.
Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen,pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama,in a way that even frightened me."Now listen to me,mama.Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like."Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.
I never heard mama talk any more about hats.Perhaps,that is why when papa died many years later,there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.
