| While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent-up(被压制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can't handle. WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are a few of their tips: 1. Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude. As hard as it may be, try to not be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse(配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with a positive. And don't forget, compliments can go a long way. 2. Encourage your partner to take up a hobby, get a side job or join a club. Typically, people work an average of forty hours a week, eight to nine hours a day. So is it any wonder that someone suddenly unemployed might go crazy with all that free time? In order to squash the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well). Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn't take up the time needed to continue the job hunt. 3. Encourage them to continue their existing friendships and to foster(培养) new ones. As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might cling(依靠)to their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you). 4. Give each other a little space before and after "couple time." You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard (发出连珠炮似的问题)him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax. 5. Trust each other. When everything is going great, it's easy to be happy and to trust your partner is doing everything he should. It's not nearly as simple when half of your income is gone. Stand by each other as a couple and trust that each of you is doing everything necessary to get another job. | ||||||||||||||

| Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation. Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don't take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. Let's use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: "Rome wasn't built in a day.", "Patience is a virtue", and so on. Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day. | ||||||||||

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
You may have heard the term “the American Dream”. In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams. That 19th century “American Dream” caused the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname(绰号) of the “Golden State”.
The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors (淘金者) but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But most, instead, worked as railroad labourers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name “the old gold hill”.
In the 20th century, some critics (评论家) said that it was no longer possible to become rich through determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination (歧视) almost made the American Dream a nightmare (噩梦).
Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley. People poured their energy into the Internet. This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortunes in America.
Better pay, a nice house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive. However, the new American Dream is no longer just about money. It encourages Americans to use money with a plan, protect the environment, raise the quality of life, and promote social justice.
The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has become the model of the new American Dream. After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a movie superstar and then governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter future.
