Pain is an emotional as well as physical response to injury or disease. Intense fear and anxiety arevital immediate responses that cause you to avoid sources of pain whenever possible. ?Sometimes,however, pain persists even when the injury or disease is no longer present. ?A painful feeling canbecome associated with constant stress, bad.memories, or lasting fear.?

Medicine is often essential for controlling pain in the short term, but taking painkillers (止痛药)for an extended period can lead to addiction (上瘾) or serious physical side effects, including stomachand liver diseases. Your body may also build up a tolerance to a drug so that you get less benefit from itas time goes on.?

Although you should always seek medical advice if pain is severe or continues for a long time, youcan also use techniques to control it. Mind-body techniques can reduce or help control pain--with norisk of side effects. Most people relax with deep, controlled breathing to reduce the tension that comeswith pain. Try lying quietly in a dark room; breathe in deeply while counting to 10, hold the breath fora moment, and then exhale slowly for a count of 10. Continue this for 10 -20 minutes.?

Shifting your attention often reduces pain' s severity (严重程度). Try turning your attention awayfrom the painful area, focusing instead on a non-painful part of your body. Or, imagine the pain as a bigball of energy outside your body, and make it smaller in your mind. Train yourself to replace thethoughts like "I can't stop this pain," with positive ones such as "This pain is only temporary. "?

In this practice, you merely acknowledge the pain by actively fighting it, instead of allowing it todominate your thoughts.?

Which of the following is people' s natural response to pain?

Sweden is aiming for a zero-waste society. This takes the country' s recycling revolution one stepfurther--from putting rubbish in landfills (废物填埋场), to recycling to reusing.?

It is early morning. Before 31-year-old Daniel Silberstein goes to his office, he has separated outhis empty cartons (纸箱) into the containers in the shared basement. It is just some of the two tons ofrubbish he and his fellow Swedes recycle per person each year.?

"The thing about recycling is that it' s quite automatic. It' s basically a thing you naturally do,"Silberstein says.?

"A big part of it is thinking about what kind of environment our daughter is going to have in thefuture. I am a kid of the 1990s and not recycling is kind of abnormal for us, but for my daughter' sgeneration it will hopefully go even further. She already thinks it' s fun to push the cartons into therecycling station when I take her there."?

The main problem today is that many used products are hard to deal with. ?A new movement isgaining ground that seeks to ensure everything can be reused somehow. In 2017 the Swedish governmentreformed the tax system so that people could get cheaper repairs on used goods, and a Swedish clothingcompany operates a recycling project where customers get a discount upon handing in old clothes.Meanwhile, scientists are working on finding new clothing materials that are less damaging to theenvironment.?

For Daniel Silberstein and his daughter Charlie, the future begins at home. "Friends shouldn't ?????????????????????????????????" ????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Inthrow rubbish on the ground, ?Charlie says, and her dad agrees: ????the future we' 11 look at the oldstyle of recycling the way we look at fossil (化石) fuels and landfill sites today. It will all seem crazy. "?

What is the main reason for Silberstein to practice recycling?

It is early morning. Before 31-year-old Daniel Silberstein goes to his office, he has separated outhis empty cartons (纸箱) into the containers in the shared basement. It is just some of the two tons ofrubbish he and his fellow Swedes recycle per person each year.?

"The thing about recycling is that it' s quite automatic. It' s basically a thing you naturally do,"Silberstein says.?

"A big part of it is thinking about what kind of environment our daughter is going to have in thefuture. I am a kid of the 1990s and not recycling is kind of abnormal for us, but for my daughter' sgeneration it will hopefully go even further. She already thinks it' s fun to push the cartons into therecycling station when I take her there."?

The main problem today is that many used products are hard to deal with. ?A new movement isgaining ground that seeks to ensure everything can be reused somehow. In 2017 the Swedish governmentreformed the tax system so that people could get cheaper repairs on used goods, and a Swedish clothingcompany operates a recycling project where customers get a discount upon handing in old clothes.Meanwhile, scientists are working on finding new clothing materials that are less damaging to theenvironment.?

For Daniel Silberstein and his daughter Charlie, the future begins at home. "Friends shouldn't ?????????????????????????????????" ????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Inthrow rubbish on the ground, ?Charlie says, and her dad agrees: ????the future we' 11 look at the oldstyle of recycling the way we look at fossil (化石) fuels and landfill sites today. It will all seem crazy. "?

My boyfriend really enjoyed canoeing (划独木舟), and it took me a while to finally persuade himto take me on a canoe trip. Despite his great skill, he was nervous about my safety and described manyterrible situations that could happen. "They could also not happen," I said. I wanted to prove that I wastough and capable of adventuring.?

This would be a romantic adventure. We would row the canoe on the lake under a beautiful bluesky. I was confident it would all go according to plan.?

It did not go as planned. Instead,?it all went downhill. We hit a headwind (逆风). The flies werethe worst. An unknown animal outside our tent in the night forced us to get up twice to scare it away.We walked through knee-deep mud; we moved around so many fallen trees that we lost the wayfrequently. We had an unexpected thunderstorm on our second night. We hid in our tent from the bugs(虫子), too tired and bitten to even hold each other. When we were finally back in the car, my skinwas hot and angry with bug bites, I had barely slept in 72 hours and I had an injury on my forehead fromhitting it on the canoe.?

Yet I realized that I wanted to do it all again. Because I swam in a lake so warm it felt like asummer pool. ?I ate lunch on an island with the most beautiful pine trees. ?I' d also never beforeappreciated how thunder can make the ground tremble. I know why my boyfriend loves canoeing somuch. It' s for the challenge, the space, and the beauty of moving forward with your own two hands ina place of natural wonder. He didn' t say "I love you. " He said I was a good partner. I' ve foundsomething that I really like to do. That' s the more important thing.?
