One day,a friend told me about his problem. He has been spending more time 41 lately — he goes to the mall every weekend,and once or twice in the week as well. The shop windows are really 42 for him and it's true that he 43 a few things when he is there. Besides,he can51 44 shopping during sales. His wife tells him they don't need all those things, 45 he thinks they are so cheap and good ... Now my friend's wife has decided to get his credit card cancelled. Life is getting for him!
This sounds like a(n) 47 of compulsive(強迫性的) shopping,and hundreds,maybe thousands of people have the same 48. 1’m afraid there's no easy 49 ,although there are a number of methods we can suggest.
One thing you could do is to try making a 50 before you go out. You won' t buy so many things if you think first about what you really 51 .
Another good 52 would be to check your budget. How much can you 53 to spend? If you can't control your 54 ,don't take your credit card with you!For example,take £50 and say: UI can buy what I want,as long as it doesn’ t cost more
than £50.? 55,you can do this 56 once a week,or once a month!
57,if you still can't control things,maybe you should just 58 going to the shops. There's a lot more to life than just shopping. Try not to spend your family's moirey,59 , spend time with them. Be sociable!60 a hobby,such as cycling or swimming,or going out with your friends. But let someone else dq the shopping.

A
I learnt to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became extremely interested in the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of climbing the world's highest mountain,I dreamed about flying non-stop around the world.
I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before I and my team managed to succeed. For some reason,we had to go first to North Africa to catch the right winds. That added 10 ,000 kilometres,and another week,to our journey. But because of this,our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.
The most memorable part of the trip for me is that we lived in the air for 20 days and that the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the balloon’s capsule (艙) , in which we were transported,three times while in the air to repair the fuel(燃料) system. We didn’ t have any safety equipment but when you are in a situation like that,you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling afraid.
Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember that when I got out of the capsule,I looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong,who was so happy to put his footprint on the moon,so far away from Earth. At that moment,I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!

Art is everywhere — from the 18-month-old baby who spreads food all over some paper to famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Today,a new artist from Great Britain is making headlines with his glass art. This glass art,beautifiil as it may be,is a bit different.
The sculptor,Luke Jerram,has spent years learning about deadly viruses such as HIV,smallpox,and the H1N1 virus.

Beautifully put in milky glass,the viruses shine like crystal(水晶) on mirrored surfaces.These good-looking viruses are actually the greatest killers in human history.
Jerram became interested in the viruses after being introduced to these deadly subjects on TV and in a variety of magazine articles. His discovery path was interesting. He learned viruses are so small that even microscopes (顯微鏡） cannot make out all of their details. He noticed that if he made these viruses one million times bigger^eople could better appreciate them.
Jerram wants people to see these little viruses and better understand the influence they have on human beings. For something so small to kill so many people each year is truly difficult to imagine,Jerram wants us to think about that. During his research,Jerram finds out that even scientists do not fully understand many aspects (方面) of viruses and how they work. He hopes we can find out the answers to many of these questions. He hopes his artwork will help people learn more about these enemies. More importantly,he hopes to inspire future scientists who may be the ones to find cures for these deadly viruses.
