What problems have you encountered on the inte2.How do you protect yourself in today's high-tech society?Privacy in Our High-Tech SocietyA recent New York Times "House and Home" article featured the story of a man who lived in a glass house.Every wall in his home was transparent; he had no walls to hide behind, not even in bathroom.Of course, he lived in an isolated area, so he didn't exactly have neighbors peering i watching his every move.But he had chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home that allowed every action to be seen.He had created his own panopticon, a place in which everything open to view.The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designed.The prisoner's cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middle.All walls facing the center of the circle would be glas that way, every prisoner's cell would be in full view of the guards.The prisoners could do noth unobserved, but would not be able to see the guard tower.They would know they were being watche or rather, they would know that they could be being watched — but because they could not see t guard tower, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions.It is common knowledge that people behave differently when they know they are being watched act differently when we know someone is looking; we act differently when we think someone else be looking.In these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the wa think we should act when we are being observed by others.In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor for the future.But in many the panopticon is already here.Surveillance cameras are everywhere, and we often don't even kno actions are being recorded.In fact, the surveillance camera industry is enormous, and these cam keep getting smaller and smaller to make surveillance easier and more ubiquitous.In addition, w leave a record of everything we do online; our cyber-whereabouts can be tracked and that inform can be used for various purposes.Every time we use a credit card, make a major purchase, answer survey, apply for a loan, or join a mailing list, our actions are observed and recorded.And mos us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is avail to various sources.The scale of information gathering and the scale of exchange have both expan so rapidly in the last decade that there are now millions of electronic profiles of individuals existing in cyberspace, profiles that are bought and sold, traded, and often used for important decisions, such as whether or not to grant someone a loan.① However, that information is essentially beyond our control.We can do little to stop the information gathering and exchange can only hope to be able to control the damage if something goes wrong.With so much information floating about in cyberspace, and so much technology that can reco and observe, our privacy has been deeply compromised.There are those who argue that information be gathered for the social good.However, I find it truly amazing that anyone would want to live transparent house at any time, especially in an age when individual privacy is becoming increas difficult to maintain and defend.② Perhaps the story of the man who lived in a glass house isattempt to call our attention to the fact that the panopticon is already here, and that we are just as exposed as he is.Key Sentences1.The scale of information gathering and the scale of exchange have both expanded so rapidl the last decade that there are now millions of electronic profiles of individuals existing in cyberspace, profiles that are bought and sold, traded, and often used for important decisions, as whether or not to grant someone a loan.过去十年间，信息收集以及信息交换的规模迅速扩展，网络空间存有无数个人电子档案，这些档案被买卖易，经常用于重要决策，如是否给某人发放贷款等。

12-A. Let Your Mind WanderA让头脑畅想Until recently daydreaming was generally considered either a waste of time or a symptom of neurotic tendencies, and habitual daydreaming was regarded as evidence of maladjustment or an escape from life’s realities and responsibilities. It was believed that habitual daydreaming would eventually distance people from society and reduce their effectiveness in coping with real problems. At its best, daydreaming was considered a compensatory substitute for the real things in life.直到最近人们还认为白日梦要么是时间的浪费，要么是神经病发病的征兆，习惯性白日梦被人们认为是不适应环境的表现，或者是对生活现实和责任的一种逃避。
人们相信习惯性的做白日梦最终会拉开人与社会的距离，降低人们处理实际问题的能力。
最好来讲。
白日梦被认为是人们生活中真实事物的有补偿功能的替代。
As with anything carried to excess, daydreaming can be harmful. There are always those who would substitute fantasy lives for the rewards of real activity. But such extremes are relatively rare, and there is a growing body of evidence to support the fact that most people suffer from a lack of daydreaming rather than an excess of it. We are now beginning to learn how valuable it really is and that when individuals are completely prevented from daydreaming, their emotional balance can be disturbed. Not only are they less able to deal with the pressures of day-to-day existence, but also their self-control and self-direction become endangered.任何事情做得过分都可能有害，做白日梦也是一样。

Unit 12TEXT你看见那棵树了吗？是我的邻居戈根夫人最先问我这句话的。
那天，我正坐在后院享受着秋日的黄昏，她问我“你看见那棵树了吗？”“就是街角的那棵”，她解释道，“那棵树真美，色彩斑斓，人们都会停下来欣赏它。
你也该去看看啊。
”我告诉她我会去看的，可是过了一会儿我就忘了这件事。
三天后，我正在街上漫跑的时候，一团明亮的橙色映入我的眼帘。
霎那间，我以为是谁家的房子着火了。
而后，我想起了戈根夫人和我说起的那棵树。
快到树跟前的时候，我放慢了脚步。
这是一棵不大不小的枫树，它的形态再普通不过了。
但是，关于它的色彩，戈根夫人的确说对了。
眼前的色彩如画家的调色板那样异彩纷呈，低处的树枝呈现出亮红色，中间的是鲜黄色和橙色的，顶部像腾起深红色的火焰，四周绿色的叶子簇拥着这团火焰，仿佛秋天还未曾来临。
我像一个圣徒接近神殿般亦步亦趋，发现树顶上裸露着一些光秃秃的黑色枝干，像一只巨大的爪伸向天空。
树干四周的落叶像是地上铺了一层深红色的地毯。
斑斓的色彩使得这棵树就像一个大地球。
宽阔的树枝展现出各大洲一年四季的景色：它有南半球春天的淡绿色和夏天的深绿色，也有北半球秋天的黄色和冬天的枯枝。
在我惊叹这包罗万象的美景的时候，我想起了拉尔夫·瓦尔多·爱默生关于星辰的注解。
他曾经在《自然》中说到，假如天上璀璨的星辰一千年只出现一次，那么看到它们是件多么激动人心的事情啊！但是，就是因为它们每天都会出现，所以我们难得会想起抬头望它们一眼。
因此对这棵树，我也有同样的感受。
它只有一周的灿烂辉煌，所以这短暂的美景对我们来说尤为珍贵，而我竟差点儿错过。
１９世纪，有人曾在马萨诸塞州的上空看到绚丽多彩的北极光时，他敲响了教堂的钟，把全镇的居民都叫醒。
这就如同我对那棵树，我也想唤醒大家来欣赏这棵树神奇而短暂的美。
虽然我没有教堂的钟，但在回家的路上，我问了每位邻居一个简单而重要的问题，就是戈根夫人曾经问我的那句“你看见那棵树了吗？”（弋睿仙译）Read more树叶的神奇11本篇译文摘自百度文库/view/d9587024bcd126fff7050bd8.html每当我在秋风中散步的时候，便不由地想起树叶的微妙和神奇。

Unit 12TEXT IA Winter to RememberTextAccording to the weather men last winter was one of the worst in living memory.We live in the depths of the country, and my whole family agree that it was certainly a winter we shall never forget. Snow began to fall at round about the beginning of the New Year and continued on and off for approximately ten days.At first we were all thrilled to see it. It fell silently and relentlessly in large soft flakes until every ugly patch and corner of our rather rambling garden was smoothed over and had become a spotless white canopy. The children soon spoilt its beauty by having snowball fights and leaving their footprints all over it. Hungry birds too, in search of scraps of food, made delicate impressions on its surface. It was now, when the garden was all churned up and of a dirty grey colour, that a severe frost set in, hardening the snow into ugly lumps of grimy concrete. For the next three months the whole countryside lay in a grip of iron.Every day the birds grew tamer, often waiting hopefully almost on our backdoor step. We fed them with bits of cheese, chopped up meat and any leftovers we had. We also put out bowls of water, which unfortunately within an hour had frozen solid.Indoors it was pretty cold too. Our central heating system proved both inadequate and uncooperative: inadequate partly because it needed overhauling and partly because the poor state of the doors and most of the windows made a whistling stream of cold air come through;unco-operative because occasionally it simply went on strike. To make matters worse there were tiny holes in the brickwork of many of the rooms. As a result the water pipes froze so that for several weeks our water supply had to be brought in buckets from a nearby farm. We tried to buy a number of oil-stoves to keep these rooms warm, but other people had thought of doing this too —when we called at the village shop the shopkeeper told us she had sold out and that although there were more on order they were unlikely to be delivered until the spring —which, of course, was a great comfort.Throughout January and February and much of March we sat about in our overcoats and warmed ourselves by tramping to and from the farm, lugging buckets of water.On one occasion the water actually froze before it reached the house, andour youngest son — not the most intelligent of youth — promptly took it all the way back to the farm.However, one good thing did happen. One of the children dropped a container with a dozen eggs in it. I stooped down furiously to pick up what I thought would be the messy remains only to discover the eggs had come to no harm — they were as solid as if they had been hard-boiled.Late in March, it finally thawed. Water squirted from pipes in at least half a dozen places. Instead of carting buckets of water into the kitchen from the farm we now brought them in from different parts of the house. Eventually we found a plumber. The plumber undoubtedly saved us from drowning. I have been devoted to plumbers ever since.By Robert BestTEXT IIJanuary WindThe January wind has a hundred voices. It can scream, it can bellow, it can whisper, and it can sing a lullaby. It can roar through the leafless oaks and shout down the hillside, and it can murmur in the white pines rooted among the granite ledges where lichen makes strange hieroglyphics. It can whistle down a chimney and set the hearth-flames to dancing. On a sunny day it can pause in a sheltered spot and breathe a promise of spring and violets. In the cold of a lonely night it can rattle the sash and stay there muttering of ice and snowbanks and deep-frozen ponds. Sometimes the January wind seems to come from the farthest star in the outer darkness, so remote and so impersonal is its voice. That is the wind of a January dawn, in the half-light that trembles between day and night. It is a wind that merely quivers the trees, its force sensed but not seen, a force that might almost hold back the day if it were so directed. Then the east brightens, and the wind relaxes —the stars, its source, grown dim.And sometimes the January wind is so intimate that you know it came only from the next hill, a little wind that plays with leaves and puffs at chimney smoke and whistles like a little boy with puckered lips. It makes the little cedar trees quiver, as with delight. It shadow-boxes with the weather-vane. It tweaks an ear, and whispers laughing words about crocuses and daffodils, and nips the nose and dances off.But you never know, until you hear its voice, which wind is here today. Or, more important, which will be here tomorrow.By Hal Borland。

The Story of Florence Nightingale弗劳伦斯.南丁格尔的故事Florence Nightingale was born in Italy on 12 May 1820 and was named Florence after her birthplace. Florence and her sister were educated by their father and private teachers. She excelled in her studies. When she grew up , she decided to become a nurse. This decision greatly upset her family, because at that time nurses in England were looked down upon by people. But she was determined, and began caring for the sick in hospitals.弗劳伦斯.南丁格尔于1820年5月12日出生在意大利，并以他的出生地命名。
其父亲和私人教师教弗劳伦斯.南丁格尔和她的妹妹学习。
她学业优秀。
长大后，她决定做一名护士，这个决定令她的家人很不安。
因为在当时的英国，护士这个职业被别人看不起。
但是，她已下定决心,并开始在医院护理病患。
In 1854 ,England was fighting a war with Russia in Turkey .At the front many British soldiers were wounded or sick. The wounded soldiers lay on the hard floors of a dirty army hospital. In the evening, the tried to sleep, but rats ran over their bodies. The conditions for them were terrible. 1854年，英国与俄国在土耳其交战，很多英国士兵在前线受伤或患病，伤兵们躺在肮脏的军队医院里坚硬的地板上。
Unit12 课文翻译
In the rich world the idea of progress has become impoverished. Through complacency and bitter experience, the scope of progress has narrowed. The popular view is that, although technology and GDP advance, morals and society are treading water or, depending on your choice of newspaper, sinking back into decadence and barbarism. On the left of politics these days, “progress”comes with a pair of ironic quotation marks attached; on the right, “progressive”is a term of abuse. 在一个富裕的世界，关于进步的观念则变得贫困。
现状引起的自满和经历带来的痛苦都使得进步的视野越变越狭窄。
取决于你爱看哪种立场的报纸，流行的看法是：尽管科技和GDP 发展了，道德与社会却停滞不前，甚至可说是，正在向颓废和野蛮沉沦。
在当今政治的左翼，“进步”这两个字必定带有讽刺性的引号；而对于政治的右翼，“进步人士”也是一个被滥用的术语。
It was not always like that. There has long been a tension between seeking perfection in life or in the afterlife. Optimists in the Enlightenment and the 19th century came to believe that the mass of humanity could one day lead happy and worthy lives here on Earth. Like Madach’s Adam, they were bursting with ideas for how the world might become a better place.情况也并非一直都是这样糟糕。

但是你可以不必每次都查词典就能扩大词汇量。下面是两条规则：
1.遇到生词时停顿一下，让它在你的脑海里留下印象。
2.根据上下文即其周围的词语猜测一下词义。
让我们来看一下词典是如何编写的，编辑们又是如何给词下定义的。下面的过程不适用于那些简单地照抄现有词典的人而适合于那些词典编辑部的编辑们，他们利用第一手资料，进行最基本的研究。编写字典之初要阅读大量的同时代的文学作品或者词典要包括的学科内容。编辑们在阅读时，会把有趣的和少见的词，常用词的不常见及特有的用法及许多常用词的一般用法抄在卡片上，同时也抄下含有这些词的原句。
地图、图表、曲线和图画都是有益的线索，为读者理解所读材料的内容和结构提供一些启示。浏览这种简单的技巧能够帮助你了解文章大意，因为在开始阅读时你就知道阅读的方向。
阅读速度——另一个良好的阅读习惯就是快速阅读。谚语“欲速则不达”用在阅读上并不合适。事实上，大多数人阅读的速度都太慢。现在为了更好地理解本文章，你的阅读速度可能较慢。研究表明，能快速阅读的人是阅读能力最佳的人，而阅读速度慢的人常因厌倦而不能集中精力，以至于影响理解能力。
词典是如何编纂的
人们普遍认为每个词都有它正确的含义，这些含义我们主要是从老师和语法学家那里学来的 ，而且词典和语法在释义和讲解用法方面是绝对的权威。很少有人会问词典和语法书的编者又是根据什么权威来说那些话的。一次我和一位英国妇女就一个词的发音发生了争执，我提出查查词典。这位英国妇女固执地说：“查词典有什么用?我是英国人，我生在英国，长在英国，我说的是地道的英语”。这种对母语的自信在英国人中相当普遍。但在美国，如果有人想跟词典争个对错，那他不是行为古怪，就是精神有问题。

雨，隔断了回家的路，淹没了希望的心，但不会让我回家的脚步而停下，回家，回家，只有家才是温暖的港湾，只有家才是心灵的归宿。风威胁着雨，雨侵袭着人，树叶在狂风中摇摆着，被风压得抬不 起头，直不起腰。 路灯下，被风吹起的雨雾欢快的游荡在空旷的街道之上，偶尔还能听到它们在窗外咆哮吼声。远处，所有的灯光都在黑夜中静默，每一点光，都会是一个崭新的希望，它在引领着回家的路，它在等待 着远方的游子，在风雨中找到回家的方向。 也许夜里，从来就是风雨的天堂，所有的精灵都会在暗夜中欢唱，而我们最需要阳光的抚慰，最讨厌隐藏在黑暗中的肮脏。一路风雨，思想不息，愿我的灵魂同生命一起，走过千山万水，历尽所有沧桑， 在我的有限岁月里，能读懂生命的所有苍茫。

我知道。一把铁锁把满地落叶关在了门外，母亲不在家。我引颈张望，对面小山坡，黄泥路上，母亲背着竹篓，缠着花布头巾，走向另一座更高的山坡。 我大声喊：春回大地，重返俄罗斯！ 母亲回头过来，满脸愕然，花布头巾从头上飘落。 我说：妈，回来！

Translation of Text A圣诞节的早晨1他忽然完全醒过来。
那是凌晨四点钟，这个点父亲通常会叫他起床帮忙挤奶。
奇怪的是，这个年幼时的习惯被坚持到现在。
他的父亲已经去世四十年了，但他仍然每天早晨四点钟醒来。
由于今天是圣诞节，所以他早晨醒来后没有试着再次入睡。
2然而现在的圣诞节有什么吸引力呢？他的童年和青年时代都已远去，它自己的孩子也长大成人。
3昨天他的妻子还说，“这不值得，也许——”4他说，“是的，爱丽丝，即使只有我们两个，我们也要过圣诞节。
”5然后她又说，“我们明天再修剪圣诞树吧。
罗伯特，我累了。
”6他同意了。
树一直放在后门的外面。
7他躺在了自己的床上。
她的房门关了，因为她是个浅睡者。
几年前他们决定分房睡，但是两个人都没有以前一起睡的时候睡得好。
他们已经结婚很久了，没有什么能够真正把他们分开。
8为何今晚全无睡意？因为那是一个平静的夜晚，繁星点点。
没有月亮，但星星太棒了！他想起，每年圣诞节的黎明前，星星总是又大又明亮。
9他回想起了过去，他总是自然而然地便回忆往事。
那年他15岁，仍然在父亲的农场干活。
他爱他的父亲。
直到圣诞节前几天的某一天他无意中听到了父亲对母亲说的话，才意识到这一点。
10“玛丽，我讨厌早上把罗波起床。
他正在快速长身体，他需要充足的睡眠，我真希望自己能处理得来。
”11“你不能这么做，亚当。
”他的妈妈声音干脆地说。
“而且他不再是小孩子了，是时候让他负起担子。
”12“是的，”他的父亲慢慢地说，“但我还是不想叫醒他。
”13当听到这些话时，他醒悟了：他的父亲爱他！他从来没有想过，理所当然地以为是血缘关系罢了。
既然他知道父亲是爱他的，早晨他就不会磨蹭和赖床。
他起床了，眼带睡意，跌跌撞撞地走着，穿上了他的衣服。
14然后，在圣诞节前夕，他躺在床上一直在想明天圣诞节的事情。
他们生活穷苦。
绝大部分节日的兴奋感来自于他们自己养的火鸡和母亲做的肉碎派。
他的姐姐给他缝纫一些礼物，他的父母则总是给他买他需要的东西，一件暖和的夹克衫或者一本书。

故乡黄花天下香 鲜花似乎仅供人观赏。 富贵的牡丹，多情的芍芶，缠绵的蔷薇，红靥的杜鹃，人面桃花，处子般的灿烂人们一看到它们，就产生一种赏心悦目的感情，唯独，那农民普遍种植的黄花，它金黄色的花蕾，经过蒸制，晾晒，成为 酒席上的美味佳肴，反哺在泥土上耕耘的人们。 春天，黄花草象所有的春草一样，从泥土中拱出，在初夏，它的叶子蓬勃生长，在田野上淡红的紫云英开过之后，从黄花草的绿叶之中，钻出小小的花箭，象一只只擎起的手臂，上面缀满黄色的花蕾， 象张开的手指。渐渐地，千万只花箭耸起来了，在绿茵茵的黄花草之上，象一群群排列整齐的士兵。 在湖南衡阳市祁东县白地市镇到太和堂的公路沿线，连绵近百里，满山遍野都种植了黄花莱，五月至八月，鲜花次笫开放，象一个偌大的空中花园。 黄花莱的花开得很快，在它们正好欲放未放时采撷，黄花早晨还是花蕾，上午就会绽放，黄花的外形很象牵牛花，呈现一个美丽的纺缍形，在酷热的五、六、七月，黄花箭从泥土中钻出，你不让我，我 不让你，花开不败。 在炎夏的烈日下，农民们戴春斗笠或草帽，肩上挎着一个竹篓，在溽热的地里采摘黄花莱，五彩缤纷的蝴蝶在翩翩飞舞。 在我的眼里，黄花莱不仅仅是花，而且是夏天成熟很快的果实。

Unit 12 Text A 课文及译文Feeling Free感受自由①I woke up feeling cranky. I didn't want to do housework, though the laundry was piling up. I didn't want to read the work I brought home from the office.I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.一醒来我的心情就很糟糕。
我不想做家务，尽管要洗的衣服已经堆积如山。
我也不想理会那些我从办公室带回家的工作。
我不想做任何负责任的事。
这就是那样的一天。
②As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache ing on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was ing down with the flu. （承上启下句）Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it? I absolutely should be in bed.当我喝早茶的时候，我就感到阵阵头痛袭来。
是的，就是，一阵隐隐约约的疼痛充斥着我的眼睛。
或许，我应该继续睡觉直到疼痛消失。
当我把盘子丢进水槽里的时候，我的肌肉好像也开始隐隐作痛。
或许是我的关节在痛?那是不是我得了流感了呢?我认识的每个人今年都得了流感。
凭什么我幸免于此?我的确应该躺在床上。
③I shuffled back to bed, wiggled under the covers and shut my eyes. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already pletely awake. I ought to get up. But no, there was that headache and the beginning of a sniffle. Better get the tissues.我拖拉着回到床上，在被子下扭动了下就闭上了眼睛。
能再睡几小时就好了，可我现在已经完全清醒了。
我应该起床。
不，还是不要了。
我的头还痛着，鼻子也开始抽抽搭搭了，我最好去拿些纸巾。
④On my way back from the bathroom with a family-sized（适合全家用的）tissue box, I stopped to grab that big new novel I had bought but had no time to read. I opened the book and settled against the pillows.我去浴室取了一盒家庭装的纸巾，在回到卧室的路上，我停下来抓起那本我早买了但一直没有时间看的大部头小说。
我靠在枕头上打开了书。
⑤The morning was moving along and so was my reading. Another twenty pages and I was stretching.I should try to crack（找到解决办法）the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn't want to spread any germs. The wash could wait. My family was resourceful enough to scrounge clothing for the next day.一早上就这样过去了，我的阅读也这样继续着。
接着我又看了20页，我伸展了一下身体。
我应该把那个我一直忙着的工作报告做完。
或许，我至少应该起床，洗点衣服。
要是我患了传染性感冒怎么办?我可不想传播细菌啊。
那些脏衣服可以等等再洗。
家人有足够的能力找到第二天能穿的衣服。
⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.或许我根本就没有感冒。
我其实也并非真想生病。
说实话，我只是想要一点闲暇的时间而已。
我想让自己远离人群、琐事、职业以及外面的世界。
我就非得等到生病了才能那样吗? 孩子能不上课或不做家务的唯一方法就是生病，但我已经不再是个孩子了。
我不得不装出生病的症状来给自己找借口吗?不，我决定了，我不需要。
⑦I talked to myself. Okay, I said, you need a day off. Admit it. Accept it. Toss out the guilt and enjoy a mini-vacation. What would you like to do? Read? You're already doing that. Pampe r yourself? Take a bubble bath. Be a hermit? Let the machine answer the phone.我和自己交谈，好的，我说，你需要休息一天。
承认吧，接受吧，抛掉罪恶感，去享受这个小假期。
那你想做些什么呢?阅读吗?你已经那么做了啊。
要不就纵容一下自己，洗个泡泡浴?还是就做个隐士，让答录机去接xx呢?⑧I poured half the bottle of bath gel into the streaming water and added a hearty handful of chamomile bath salts. Then I lit a vanilla-scented candle and gingerly stepped into the bathtub. With agrateful sigh, I immersed myself in my homemade spa.I heard the phone ring somewhere off in the distance and smiled我在水中倒了半瓶沐浴露，还加了一大把甘菊浴盐，然后点起一支香草味的蜡烛，轻手轻脚地走进了浴缸里。
我长舒了一口气，泡起了自制的水疗。
我听见远处xx响起，笑而不应。
⑨It is funny how the aches subsided in the heat of the tub. They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. My head felt just fine, the throb replaced by a sense of well-being.真是有意思，在热气腾腾的浴缸里，那些疼痛竞消失得无影无踪了，它们都随着最后的泡泡流进了下水道里。
我的头感觉好多了，眼痛也被美好的感觉取而代之。
⑩By late afternoon, I was back at it, refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I felt empowered. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to my family. I d idn't need the crutch of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn't it the simple things that set us free?下午晚些时候，我恢复了精神，身体上，精神上，情绪上全都焕然一新。
我也不再感到无助，反而感觉到充满力量。
我给了倾听自己并满足自己需求的机会，像照顾家人一样关心了一下自己。
我根本不需要生病这样的理由去休息。
这其实是一个非常简单的意识，不过难道不是那些简单的事情让我们感到自由吗?。
