26、 Working hard comes naturally to me. The company I work for hired me as a claims researcher and in one year promoted me to head of the Northeast Region Follow-Up Team.
“When are you going to finish?” My husband Joe said as he climbed into bed. “In a few minutes,” I replied. My track record offered Joe little reason to believe me. Finishing was always just a moment or two away. Then after I knew he was sound asleep, I’d gather my paperwork and move to the kitchen table and work for a few more hours.
Somewhere along the way, I found my enthusiasm for living was replaced with hard boring work that robbed me of both peace and pleasure. As the company expanded, my responsibility grew heavier every day.
Resigning would end the madness and Joe encouraged me to do so daily “Just do it, Annie. Quit. You’re heading for a break down.”
One day an email appeared on my computer screen. When I opened it, the words “Administrative assistant for senior vice president” caught my eye. No, I thought. They’d think I was crazy. Who in their right mind would stop back to a secretarial position from a management position?
At home that evening my interest in the new job persisted. I had ten years of experience as an executive secretary long before I ever arrived at the company.
The next morning I told my boss I intended to apply for the job. “You’re in for a huge salary cut, and you’ll lose your bonus,” he said, “You’re a leader, Annmarie, not a follower. How is it that you think this makes any kind of sense? You’re crazy.”
“Not yet,” I said “But if I stay in this position much longer, I’m pretty sure I’ll end up that way.”
Admittedly, the manager of human resources was shocked too, but from a budgetary standpoint it’s hard to say no to someone who’s asking for a salary cut and a decrease in benefits. That’s pretty much a novelty(新鲜事) you don’t run into every day.
I closed the door to my office that last day with very few regrets about leaving my management position. By the end of my first day in the new position I knew I had made the right decision. No office, staff, salary, or bonus check can ever replace this new feeling of waking up every morning and actually wanting to go to work. When I leave at the end of the day, I take nothing with me but my desire to come back tomorrow knowing that I am respected and appreciated.
My husband always tells me I can’t put a price on peace of mind. It looks like my path to peace turned up none too soon!

27、It can be really hard to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school. Only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That happened when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.
At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabularies and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore, you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter, highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary, you may be surprised at what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or whom the passage is referring to.
If you can find translations of the books you have read as a child, I would strongly advise you to read those if you are a complete beginner. However, if you feel a bit more confident of reading in English, I would personally recommend the series of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl's children's books.

28、 Trees are one of the oldest living things on earth. Trees are important for life as they provide food and oxygen. The importance of trees continues to increase and more benefits of trees are being discovered as their role expands to satisfy the needs created from us human beings. The forests and trees are planted to make the world look better and more beautiful. 【1】 Some of them are as follows.
Trees can clean soil and control soil erosion (侵蚀). Poisonous chemicals and pollutants from various factories enter into the soil, thus causing soil pollution. 【2】 Trees and plant roots bind (捆绑) the soil and thus reduce soil erosion. Also they store rainwater and reduce sediment (沉积) deposits.
Trees play an important role in reducing the greenhouse gases. They consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. 【3】 For example, a fully grown tree produces oxygen which is sufficient for10 people for a complete year. Also, they act as filters of the air that we breathe.
Trees are of commercial importance. Trees satisfy the need of fuel for cooking in many areas around the world. Trees also provide wood for furniture and hundreds of household items. 【4】 Also, trees produce a number of fruits and nuts which are sold at market. Some trees are even used to make medicines.
【5】 They provide shelter and food for a number of animal species across the globe. Trees are especially important as they form green corridors connecting habitats with each other and with the countryside beyond.
