British postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their loud knocking and boring whistling may get on your nerves. Of course there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains sad news, but the majority are pleasant, this is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems. The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no tilts and downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a mast unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning. In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer, in winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow. Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round on foot, like this city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, ’BEWARE OF THE DOG’ this is of little help to the postman. He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear his trousers. The city postman is forced to walk up and down a lot of stain because ______.

Sad stories are net very pleasant to read about, but if we think and talk about them, we may be able to prevent more accidents. How can fire or hot things be a danger in the house Matches, of course, are always dangerous in the hands of young children. A little fire on waste land can easily get out of control. A wind comes, sparks are blown on to the roof of a house, and the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call the Fire Brigade. Kerosene lamps, too, can be very dangerous. Quite recently there was a bad accident in a village house. The mosquito net over a baby’ s cot was blown against a lamp end caught fire. The bedclothes and even the clothes of the baby were burnt before the fire was discovered. Long grass and rubbish round a house can also lead to a disastrous fire, as most people know. However, not everybody is careful with such things as celluloid masks and toys; these burn up in a flash if you hold them near a flame. Young children often reach up to a table to take a saucepan down by the handle. If the saucepan or pot is full of boiling water, you can guess what well happen. Similarly, when a baby’s bath is prepared, cold water should be put in first. If any hot water has to be used, this should be put into the bath after the cold water end not before it. Many fireworks can lead to blindness or other injuries, especially those which are pushed into bamboo sticks. Catapults and wooden spears or swords should be used only by children with sense enough not to injure other people. Very young children often have to be watched carefully. They put everything they find into their mouths to see whether it can be eaten, sucked, or licked! Medicines have to be put out of their reach. A pill or some ointment which might be harmless for an adult can sometimes kill a baby. Older children have to be careful when drinking from a bottle. Some of them walk about as they drink, tip up the bottle to get the last drop out, then trip ever something on the ground. If they are unlucky, they fall in such a way that the broken glass makes a horrible wound in the face or neck. This is not a complete list of the dangers in end near a house, but it is enough to remind you to be careful. The main idea of the story is that ______.

Emily M. Brown Hurt and humiliated, betrayed partners feel justified in taking immediate action. But certain actions cannot be undone. People make a mistake by rushing out to get a divorce lawyer or telling their friends about the disloyalty. For example, if you tell your family about your partner’s disloyalty and you remain together, you’ll face a double hurdle: mending your marital relationship and the relationship between your partner and your family, who will make your partner angry for hurting you. During this phase I advise the betrayed partner to slow down and keep from overreacting. If you want to save your marriage, your best move is to wait for your head to clear. Shirley Zussman Other betrayed partners established a position of moral superiority. Some wives bring up their husband’s affair ten years after it’s over. They use the affair as a weapon for self- justification. The idea is: "This is such a bad person, I’m a saint to live with him." Unfortunately, this attitude makes it impossible to repair your relationship and move on. Park Ridge As a woman slid into the passenger side of her husband’s car, she discovered in the seat a bottle of pills prescribed to another woman. Turning to her husband of 30 years, she asked, "What’s this I don’t know." he muttered. Eventually, he confessed that he was involved with the stranger. The wife was hurt, and in the following weeks demanded to know details of his love affair: how he had met the woman, where they had made love, what girls he had given her. He finally answered all her questions truthfully. At first I held back because I was afraid of hurting her. But when I got caught in a lie, it made everything worse. Dr. Pittman Before healing can occur, the betrayer must end the affair. For some this is extremely difficult, for an affair gives them an emotional high and seems to be a quick fix for their problems. Hot, forbidden sex is sex without responsibility. You change partners instead of changing life circumstances. Such sex is never a long-term cure. Idealized, romantic affairs are based on illusion rather than reality, and illusion is difficult to maintain. The betrayer can imagine his lover has all the qualities his partner lacks. But true intimacy is based on genuine mutual understanding and the ability to acknowledge and accept each other’s flaws and weakness. Seifer Most couples are hurt by disloyalty. As a result, no healing can take place until you acknowledge your wrongdoing and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, your partner will remain angry--and suspect that you will start again. Admitting guilt can be particularly difficult for betrayers who blame their partners for their disloyalty. But having an affair has little to do with how good your marriage or sex life is. A person can’t be driven to have an affair. Pointing the finger at your partner may help relieve your own guilt, but it will cause even more trouble on your marriage. By working through the problems that cause the disloyalty, you can save your relationship. Now match each of the persons (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Keep secrets.B. Face reality.C. Stop fighting fire with fire.D. Avoid doing something abrupt.E. Expect things to be the same.F. Tell the truth.G.
