On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern halt of the United States and led to health warning even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturin

It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and inform

17、ation to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness. Learning how to obtain and use credit, cardsis probably the most valuable knowledge

Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it

20、can control them. Students should learn how to set aside their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the Oh, no ! Ive no money and I dont get paid again for two weeks! anxiety conditions. Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, gradua

21、ting college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the real world is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage.

22、He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living. For a newly graduated college student, the real world can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, pla

23、nning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this real world could be made less painful if persons were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college Students suffer from anxiety c

24、onditions because _.Athey do not have their parents financial supportBthey are worded that they dont get paid on timeCthey run out of money and cant cover their living expensesDthey cant afford to buy insurance for themselves 9.Questions 1417 are based on the following dialogue.According to the woma

Why The

28、y are scared. And, really, what experience is worse than seeing a traditional dentist You wait in silence, thumbing through old magazines, in a germ-free white waiting room in which no one ever speaks. All is silent until an assistant calls your name and leads you back to another white room, which i

29、s filled with machinery to frighten you still further. At the Medical College of Georgia, dentists are taught principles of behavior and techniques of office design that should help reduce the patients anxiety and tension. Assistants and receptionists are taught to smile and speak to the patient. Th

30、is helps create an environment of trust. Dentists themselves are being taught to communicate more fully with the patient. A phrase such as you are doing fine tells the patient that the dentist is appreciative of the patients unpleasant situation. Dentists office is being repainted in colors that mak

31、e patients feel calmer. A startling color such as red should be avoided at all costs, for red brings to mind blood and pain. Paintings and other things are strategically located so as to turn away the patients attention. Until recently, dentists had ignored the fact that most patients never see much

32、 more than the ceiling of the practice room. Most of the time, patients are lying flat on their backs with little time to busy their minds other than their pains. Now dentists are not only building ceiling with fancy patterns, but also turning away patients attention with ceiling TV set, computer ga

33、mes and mobile sculptures. In addition, the practice room is redecorated to include less of white. Uniforms are also being made in soft and earth colors, no longer in white. Some dentists take an active role in teaching their patients deep muscle relaxation and breathing control. Some use advanced t

34、echniques, such as bio-feedback to help their patients relax in the chair. Drugs and painkillers may still be used to ease physical pain, but all these techniques of relaxation help the patients relax and avoid anxiety over their pain.Dentists offices are_.Apleasant places in ones memoryBavoided red
