Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12．” The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese．It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years． 25.

Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA．When you are homesick ,the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at sea． Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart．People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken． But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake, handstand, and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them． 28.The word SEASICK means“______”． ‎ A．to be eager to go to the sea B．what has nothing to do with the sea C．to be sick because of the sea D．that the sea is terrible ‎29. When we say a person is heartsick, we mean that________． ‎ A．his heart is sick B．his heart needs testing C．he’s sorry at heart D．he’s terribly disappointed and sad ‎30. “The last place you want to be” is_________． ‎ A．where you want to be most B．where you want to be least C．where you go the last D．the last place you go to ‎31.

Set a proper scene Find a space for meditation．It should be private and quiet．Make sure the temperature is comfortable．Sit on a cushion (垫子) if the floor is uncomfortable．You may play soft music if you like.‎ ‎_________________ Take a moment to loosen up．Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax．Loosen your clothing, remove your shoes and have a good stretch．Do your best to ease any muscle tension tha t might keep you from achieving relaxation．Make an effort to relax your facial muscles． Focus on your breath Sit down in the space you’ve prepared． Close your eyes and breathe．Each time you breathe in, count “one”．Each time you breathe out, count “one”．The idea is to strengthen being in the moment — the last breath doesn’t matter, and the next one doesn’t matter; only this one matters． Feel your breath inflate (胀大) your lungs and push on your diaphragm (隔膜)．Feel how sweet it is to inhale the fresh air．As you do this, your body will gradually begin to relax and all of your attention will be centered within your mind． Return to real life Once you feel fully centered in your mind, allow yourself to gradually drift back to real life．Move your fingers and toes and slowly wake your body up．Open your eyes and remain there for a few minutes until your senses come back, and then slowly stand up． Even if you can’t make it fully into your mind, you still get some benefits from it．If you want to feel better, you just need to practice．Set about 10 minutes around the same time every day and repeat this exercise. 32.
