    保你健康长寿的16件小事

    任何时候,不健康的生活习惯都是袭击健康的杀手,而健康习惯则让生命受益。所以,健康更取决于习惯,来自于日常生活的点点滴滴。

    002.jpg晨起先饮水

    每 天早晨起床,在未进食之前喝一大杯水,对机体既是一次极大的补偿,又是一种有效的净化。清晨,胃内食物已经排空,新饮进的水约经过21秒钟就能到达身体的 每一个角落,促进全身的吐故纳新。首先,洗涤机体,清除污染,保证细胞的新陈代谢。其次,滋润机体,避免疾患。稀释血液,降低血粘度,有效地预防心脏病和 中风。还有助于机体代谢,废物排泄,补充睡眠中随呼吸、汗液等丧失的水分,消除疲劳。

    吃一顿营养早餐

    吃一顿优质的早餐可以让人在早晨思考敏锐,反应灵活,并提高学习和工作效率,而且有吃早餐习惯的人比较不容易发胖,记忆力也比较好。
    早餐必须具备三项条件:一要有足够水分;二要有足够的能量;三要有足够的蛋白质。一顿理想的抗压早餐是富含蛋白质、碳水化合物以及纤维的早餐,如由稀饭(碳水化合物)、瘦肉或鸡蛋(蛋白质)、一个水果或一碟凉拌蔬菜(纤维素)构成的早餐。

    少发脾气

    根据研究,敌意低的人,血液的带氧腺体数目也会增加,带氧腺体就像高速公路的开道车,可以让人的免疫细胞快速抵达病菌入侵现场。把坏脾气丢掉,更乐观的面对生活。研究表明,大笑可以减少压力荷尔蒙。

    感恩生活

    多感谢生活给予自己的东西,多帮助他人。一项针对两千七百名美国社区志工的调查显示,这群人罹患心脏病、忧郁症及传染病的比率,比没有担任志工的人少25倍。做善事之后,脑啡释放的量会提高,从而增加快乐、减少因忧愁造成的压力蛋白。

    眼睛累了要休息

    缓解眼睛疲劳的最佳方式是让眼睛休息,方法简单极了:当你打电话时,如果不需要读什么或者写什么,就把眼睛闭上。
    眼睑是眼睛最好的按摩师,特意眨眼并转动眼球10次,一天重复若干次,有助于清洁眼睛并能缓解眼部疲劳。

    每日多吃蔬果

    根据调查,多吃蔬菜水果的人,可以减轻癌症与心脏病的风险。建议你,把蔬果放在最容易看到、随手就可以拿到的地方,提醒自己多吃蔬果,也可以把蔬果切丁,当做点心,代替那些会令你发胖的饼干、零食。

    每日运动30分钟

    许 多研究都指出,每天运动30分钟就可以得到运动的好处,包括预防心脏病、糖尿病、骨质疏松、肥胖、忧郁症等,甚至有研究指出,运动可以让人感到快乐,增强 自信心。如果你很久没有运动,可以从走路运动开始,走路是最简单、最省钱的心肺功能训练,每天快走2030分钟,持续走下去,一定能感受到许多好处。

    挺胸抬头

    美国密苏里州大学的医生说:抬起头来将会令你外表年轻一些,而且可以减少患病机会。当你抬头挺胸时,胸膛会挺起,肺活量可增加2050%,空气吸入 多,身体组织所获得的氧气量也就随之增多。当一个人获得较多氧气供应时,身体就不易疲倦。同时,抬头也会减轻腰骨痛,因为挺胸的姿势会减少脊椎的弧度。

    吃饭时把电视关掉

    研究儿童肥胖和收视习惯的学者发现,儿童在吃饭的时候看电视,通常会容易导致肥胖,且会延长收看电视的时间高达70分钟。所以不管大人或小孩,吃饭时,最好关掉电视,专心的吃饭,好好享受桌上的食物。

    停止擅服抗生素

    不 要因为身体不适就随意的服用抗生素。尤其在感冒以后,因为90%的感冒属于病毒性,抗生素根本没有用,抗生素只对细菌感染有效。服用不必要的抗生素会助长 癌细胞产生针对抗生素的抗体,这样当你真正需要抗生素时,可能就不管用了。你只在严重的皮肤感染、喉部链球菌感染、肺炎等真正的细菌感染时才需要抗生素, 而这需要医生判定。

    杜绝病从口入

    手在很多疾病的传播中发挥着极为重要的传播媒介作用,沾染有细菌与病毒的手接触口腔及鼻子周围的皮肤,都可以经手的传送作用而造成感染与传播,所以,病经手入并非言过其辞。因此,勤洗手也就显得格外重要了。

    再忙也要和家人亲密

    美 国心脏病权威、曾任前美国总统克林顿医疗顾问的欧宁胥历经数十年研究发现,拥有亲密关系可以预防与减缓心脏病,甚至可以提供生命坚强的抵抗力。不管外在生 活多么多彩多姿,每个人都需要拥有可以打开心扉,分享心事的亲密关系。所以不管再忙,每天也要和家人聊聊天,滋养彼此的亲密关系。

    戒烟

    抽 一根烟会产生超过4000种化学物质,其中四十几种会致癌,吸烟者死于肺癌的人数是不吸烟者的16倍。戒除吸烟的习惯,不仅对自己的健康有利,也是对家人 爱的表现。因为二手烟比一手烟还毒,已被世界卫生组织列为头号致癌物质,而孩子往往是二手烟最大的受害者。超过四分之一的婴儿猝死是因为父母吸烟,导致婴 儿吸入二手烟引起的。二手烟也会增加儿童气喘的次数,且加重病情。

    打开窗户把大自然请进屋

    最好的消灭病菌的方法就是通风,在阳光和空气流动的作用下,病毒甚至在几分钟内就会被杀灭。因此建议大家要保持室内通风,尽管天气冷,室内也要保持良好的空气流通。

    适当晒太阳

    美国纽约州精神病学会专家说,阳光是一种天然的兴奋剂。最好的提神方法是晨曦中做30分钟的散步或慢跑。因为这可以使身体贮存大量的维生素D,有助于维护骨骼和牙齿的强健。太阳下还是最好物理消毒场所,所以,养成经常晾晒被褥和衣物的好习惯吧。

    坚信今晚睡得更好

    许 多人把工作上的事也带到了床上,他们躺在床上却想着白天的工作,或者计算自己的账本,甚至在脑子里和老板打架。如果你发现自己也是这样,不妨找一把焦虑 之椅:上床睡觉前,先安静地坐在上面十分钟,仔细回顾一天中发生过的事情,你可能什么问题都解决不了,但至少可以在脑子里给它们排个次序,找到明天最先 要解决的事情。

    猪的疯狂

    师徒四人正在赶路,忽然间黄沙漫天,许多妖怪从天降。

    三个徒弟见状大惊,忙跃到唐僧跟前作势御敌,却见众妖怪上前捉了猪八戒,转身就跑。

    悟空猝不及防,回过神来,众妖怪已去的远了。八戒大奇,叫道:你们抓错了,下边那个白白嫩嫩的才是唐僧!却抓我老猪做何?

    妖怪头子身在半空,回头答道:娘的,猪肉价格猛涨,三年不知肉味了。传说唐僧肉能长生不老,却不知真假。眼前吃顿猪肉倒是要紧!


    四人正行之间,八戒身上忽然叮咚做响,却是手机来电。抄起电话一看,原来是高老庄的老高头,老猪的泰山大人。

    喂,岳父大人。

    八戒吗?我是老高呀。唉,不知为何,我那女儿最近思念你的紧,整天寻死觅活的。不知你那经取的怎样了?能否回来一趟?说罢不住叹气。

    八戒又惊又喜,忙连声答应。一转头瞥见师父,却不知如何开口。但一想到那美貌如花的高秀兰,哪里还把持的住?当下软磨硬泡,不住恳求。唐僧眼见留他不住,叹了口长气,也就随他去了。

    不一日,八戒来到了高老庄。老高头早已摆下宴席,宴请亲朋好友,为女婿接风。八戒喝的酩酊大醉,由人扶回房去。刚进了屋,却听得门外有人说话。

    高老,你这个妖怪女婿如此丑陋,脾气又大,你怎么又把他招回来了?这不是自讨苦吃吗?

    老高头洋洋得意的道:现在这社会,家里养头猪,顶个爆发户啊。哈哈,哈哈……”


    师徒四人行至山中,眼见这座山生的险恶,怪石嶙峋,其间定有厉害妖怪,当下暗暗提防。

    忽听得半空中有人狂笑不止,悟空对两个师弟道:你二人好好看护师父,待我去看看是甚么妖怪。

    当下翻个筋斗,爬上一朵云,凝目向下看去。只见一个金盔金铠的妖怪向唐僧三人停留方向急速奔跑。

    悟空二话不说,提棒便打。哪知那妖怪甚是厉害,与悟空战了数百回合,兀自不分胜负。悟空暗暗心惊,转身便向唐僧跑去。边跑边叫道:二位师弟,快带师父走,妖怪厉害的紧!

    谁知那妖怪身法更快,从悟空头上飞过,便向唐僧扑去。三个徒弟大惊,却哪里还来得及救护唐僧?却不料那妖怪向八戒一瞥,突然纳头便拜,一连磕了数十个头方止。师徒四人暗暗纳罕,悟空更是心下不忿,叫道:“NB,你拜这呆子做甚?难道他比我还强?!

    妖怪冷冷的道:猪爷这副身子骨,在当今社会那就是活黄金!这年头,谁有钱谁他妈就是大爷!

    四人正行之间,太白金星忽至,对八戒道:玉帝要对你封赏,这就随我上天庭罢。

    八戒大喜,向师父师兄师弟请辞,兴冲冲随着太白金星而去。

    二人转眼到了天庭,八戒上前觐见,却见玉帝容貌消瘦,愁眉苦脸,定是心下有大忧之事。

    八戒不知前途如何,心下栗六,战战兢兢跪下磕头,叫道:臣猪悟能叩见万岁!

    玉帝听见八戒叫声,抬起头来,却是喜容满面,连声叫道:爱卿快快请起,快快请起。朕宣你来,是要封你官的。

    太白金星随即上前,叫道:猪悟能上前听封!封天呈运,皇帝昭曰:今上册封猪悟能为天庭御猪元帅,钦此。

    猪八戒不知这御猪元帅是个甚么东西,但想已官封元帅,那肯定是小不了的了,忙上前磕头谢恩。

    当下由太白金星领下去休息。八戒想起当日受了嫦娥侮辱,错投猪胎,全因这个嫦娥而起。如今已封了大官,不如去见见故人,前缘续不成,羞辱她一番也是好的。

    当下来到嫦娥宫里,拿腔拿调,大摆官架子。哪知嫦娥仍冷冷的不大理睬,八戒满脸通红,心下甚是恼怒,喝道:如今玉帝已封我为御猪元帅,你如何还瞧我不起?待我去玉帝前奏你一本,要你好看,哼!

    嫦娥非但不怕,反而一口口水向八戒啐去,不屑道:当今天庭猪肉短缺,猪是吃一头少一头。皇上看你身子强壮,当个种猪倒也合适,你以为玉帝叫你来干什么?呸!


    四人行至火焰山。眼见大火冲天,不知何日方休,四人都是暗暗发愁。

    悟空道:师父,待俺去打探一下。话音未落,一个筋斗云,早去的远了。

    不一会,悟空回来,愁道:师父,原来这火焰山下蕴藏大量石油,所以终年不熄,这可如何是好?

    不料八戒听了悟空之言,对着山跪下,磕了三个响头。

    悟空奇道:呆子,你又在做甚么?

    八戒道:商务部都说了,俺老猪所以身价暴涨,都是这石油涨价引起的,推本溯源,该当拜上一拜。

    唐僧闻言大怒,喝道:真他妈是头猪,这屁话也信得?

    被中国人误传了数千年的七句话

    有点长,但的确值得一读。

    被中国人误传了数千年的七句话

      在中国崇尚权威的文化氛围中,名人名言占的地位是很重的,很多名家说的话,往往被人民当成指导自己人生观世界观的不二准则,但这些几千年流传下来的名
    言中,也有一些话被人刻意或无知地曲解,背离了话语者本身的意旨与初衷,迷惑了
    天下万千受众。影不才,试举数例解析一二,以还世情真相与大众……好了我再文诌诌地说话大家估计要扔鸡蛋,虚荣心也满足了,下面开始举例开讲。

      1、以德抱怨

      原句:"或曰:'以德报怨,何如?'子曰:"何以报德?以直报怨 ,以德报德" ————《论语 宪问》

      以德抱怨,是我们常听到的一句话了,人们通常理解的"以德抱怨"什么意思呢?就是说:孔老夫子教我们,别人欺负你了,你要忍,被打碎牙齿也要往肚子里吞,别人来欺负你,你反而应该对他更好,要用你的爱心去感化他,用你的胸怀去感动他。这就让人感觉很有点肃然了。想想看,如果我一巴掌呼过去那个被打的人还笑笑说打得好啊,你越打我我就要对你越好……遇到这种情况我也会感动到傻眼,这多好一孩子,多伟大的情操啊……

      但事实上,我们根本曲解了孔子的原意,我当初,也万万没想到原来在孔子这句" 以德抱怨"的后边还跟着另外一段话,什么话呢?子曰:"以德抱怨,何以报德?以直报怨,以德报德!"看完以后,幡然醒悟,原来我们都被某个断章取义的孔子FANS给玩了一把!当时的真实情况是怎么样的呢?孔子的一个弟子问他说:师傅,别人打我了,我不打他,我反而要对他好,用我的道德和教养羞死他,让他悔悟,好不好?孔子就说了,你以德抱怨,那"何以报德?"别人以德来待你的时候,你才需要以德来回报别人。可是现在别人打了你,你就应该"以直抱怨",拿起板砖飞他!看!就因为被人故意省略了一句话,刚烈如火的孔老夫子一下就被扭曲成了现在这个温婉的受气包形象。

      与西方文化相比,东方文明一向被认为是谦逊坚忍的,同样是被人欺负,西方的带头大哥耶稣在圣经里就叫嚣要:   "以眼还眼,以牙还牙。"小弟们!别人瞪了你一眼,你就要瞪回去,别人咬了你一口,你就要咬回来!而东方呢?佛家的精神领袖释迦牟尼说"我不入地狱,谁入地狱?"一副逆来顺受的样子。而且他可不是说说而已的,大鹰来欺负他,要吃他的肉,他也真从自己身上一刀刀帮大鹰割下肉来,这就伟大得有点近乎BT了。说完了国外的几位大领导,再回到中国,孔老宗师的这句话为什么会被别人有意地曲解呢?根源还是当时封建统治者的需要,他们的心思,无外乎就是要信仰孔子的万千民众成为"以德抱怨"的顺民,只有"以德抱怨"的民众,才会老老实实地服从他们的剥削和压迫。我们再来看看影响吧,孔老先生这句被曲解了的"以德抱怨",在中国文化史上起的压迫作用,可真是大到了天上。皇帝残暴,我们"以德抱怨",地主剥削,我们要"以德抱怨",八国联军都打到北京了,还是要"以德抱怨" ,要卑躬屈膝,要割地称臣,要想尽一切办法彰现自己的"",要 "量中华之物力,结大国之欢心"……就是没想过反抗。试想,如果中国的文化里,没有这种把正确的思想东篡西改来为封建统治阶级服务的恶习,如果孔子这句原话没有被刻意地曲解成这样子,我们中国人会养成这样一种懦弱的思维惯性吗?有人说西方人的骨子里本性是狼性,而东方人的骨子里的本性是羊性,这里如月影倒想问问了,是什么原因让我们变成了这样?如果我们从古以来信奉的是西方那种"以眼还眼,以牙还牙"的训诫,近代史上的中国,会给世界留下那么一个任人鱼肉的印象吗?

      以德抱怨。

      原句:以德抱怨,何以报德?以直报怨,以德报德。

      歪曲程度:8

      反面影响:9

    科学家破解夫妻间“七年之痒”和爱情保质期

        资料图片:美国已故著名演员玛丽莲·梦露在电影《七年之痒》中“风拂裙摆”一幕,让无数电影迷倾心。

        夫妻间的“七年之痒”和婚姻危机是如何得到预测与量化的?科研人员拿出不少公式

        近日,针对德国的高离婚率,德国巴伐利亚州菲尔特市女市长保利提出一个大胆建议:建议为了减免离婚费用,将婚姻的时间限制为7年,之后婚姻自动解除,如果想继续维持婚姻,可以延长婚姻期限。她的提议值得商榷,但有关“七年之痒”的说法人们耳熟能详。半个世纪前,性感影星玛丽莲·梦露主演了电影《七年之痒》,随着这部影片的热映大家记住了这个有关爱情和婚姻的诅咒。人们用它来描述感情世界从热恋、婚姻、到无趣、疲惫,直至最后逃离的心态。那么,这有没有科学依据呢?
    婚姻之痒
    美国著名心理学家,IBM公司的客座心理学教授斯滕伯格曾提出著名的爱情三角理论。他认为,爱情有三个基本成分:亲密、激情与承诺。随着认识时间的增加以及相处方式的改变,爱情三角形的形状和大小会发生改变。三角形的面积代表爱情的质与量,“三角形越大,爱情就越丰富”。这三种成分以不同的比例相结合,会得到七种不同类型的爱情。达到完整包含亲密、激情与承诺三种成分的第七种爱情,婚姻就会很稳定。反之,就有可能遭遇“婚姻之痒”。美国国家注册音乐治疗师、中国中央音乐学院音乐治疗硕士生导师高天对婚姻危机的描述更加形象:婚姻就是不断重复“老一套”模式:A(女人抱怨)——B(男人辩解)——C(女人生气)——D(男人发火)——E(女人新的抱怨)——F(男人新的辩解),当婚姻陷入这样一种恶性循环状态时,那么这桩婚姻将走向G(婚姻破裂)。假设一个循环周期为一年,到了第七年问题还没有解决,婚姻就陷入危机。那么,“爱情之痒”为何到第七年就让人受不了呢?

    痒到七年

    北京大学社会心理学教授侯玉波告诉《国际先驱导报》:“婚姻是一种‘社会契约’,婚姻发生问题之所以是在第七年,主要是基于婚姻周期中的关注点。如果按照正常的时间,第七年的时候正好是家庭和事业的成熟阶段。有孩子的家庭步入婚姻的第七年后,孩子也慢慢长大,有了自己独立的能力,夫妻双方有精力来重新审视自己的婚姻。再加上现在社会上的诱惑比较多,夫妻双方都很容易受到别人的影响,导致自己觉得自己的婚姻有问题。”中国人民大学社会人口学院院长翟振武则对《国际先驱导报》表达了另一种观点。他认为,七年之痒之所以是七年,更多是一个统计数字,恰恰在第七年的时候分手或离婚的人数比较多。结婚后会有一个磨合期,5年到10年都是风险比较大的时期,在七年之中有的人或许想离婚,但过了这个阶段以后,婚姻就稳固了。

    痒的破解

    人类的感情因素千差万别,非常复杂,“七年之痒”并不能完全以科学来阐释清楚,但“婚姻之痒”也可以量化。诸多爱情婚姻研究者将导致夫妻亲密程度减弱的主要原因归结为以下10点:(1)空间上的分离;(2)新朋友代替了老朋友;(3)逐渐不喜欢对方行为上或人格上的某些特点;(4)交换回报水平的变化;(5)妒忌或批评;(6)对对方与第三方的关系不能容忍;(7)泄密;(8)对方需要时不主动帮忙;(9)没表现出信任、积极肯定、情感支持等行为;(10)一方的喜好标准发生了变化。研究者设定每条原因分值为2分,当有三条以上的原因综合叠加起来超过6分的时候,就很容易使两个人的亲密关系破裂,发生“婚姻之痒”。

    照全世界离婚率的发展趋势来看,人类爱情的保质期限可能会越来越短,甚至出现了“四年之痒”,但无论如何人们都愿意相信,只要夫妻齐心合力,“七”将不再是一个大限。

    27 Free Games to Keep Your Kids Entertained on a Road Trip

    While the idea of driving hours with a car full of children may send shivers down the spine of even the most patient of parents, a family road trip doesn’t have to be a stressful endeavor. There are tons of games you can play with your children that will keep the “are we there yets” at bay. Best of all, they won’t cost you a thing. Here is a list of some road trip games and activities you can play with your children.

    1. The Grocery Game: Whether you want to challenge your memory or just whet your appetite for lunch, the grocery game is a great way to pass the time on your drive. One person starts with naming something that can be bought at the grocery store that starts with the letter ‘A’, such as “apples”. The next player would have to repeat the first person’s answer as well as add on a food that begins with the letter ‘B’. If you mess up, you’re out, and the game continues until only one memory-gifted player remains. If you get bored with groceries, try using another topic.
    2. The Geography Game: Help your kids refresh their geography lessons while on the road with the geography game. The game begins with a person naming any place in the world, London for example. The next person then has to come up with a place name that begins with the last letter of the first location. So in this case, the next place would have to start with an ‘N’, like Nepal for instance. The game continues on until someone gets stumped, and no place can be used more than once. The game can be played with any topic, so give celebrity names, movies, animals or anything else you can think of a try.
    3. License Plate Bingo: To play this game you’ll need to bring along a few writing utensils and have paper to use for game cards. If you’d like, you can print out game cards ahead of time here. There are a few variations of this game, so you can either write down the names of states as your bingo squares or random letters and numbers. As players see the states or letters and numbers on passing license plates they cross them off. First player to get 5 in a row wins, and it might be a good idea to keep a few prizes on hand for the lucky winner.
    4. Card Games: Never underestimate the power of card games to keep your kids entertained. Bring along a set of cards from home and challenge kids to play their old favorites like old maid, go fish, and rummy. If you want to find new games, check out a book on card games at your local library or print out instructions for kids games here.
    5. Family Spelling Bee: See who is the best speller in the family by having an in-car spelling bee. Make sure words are appropriate for the age level of the kids in your car so no one gets discouraged. If spelling isn’t your thing, there are a number of other contests you can have as well. Try challenging your family to trivia or singing competitions as well.
    6. 20 Questions: An old favorite, 20 questions is a great game for inquisitive little ones. The game begins with one person choosing pretty much anything they can think of. The first question for the guessers is usually “animal, vegetable, or mineral?” though it doesn’t have to be. Players then go through a litany of questions trying to determine the nature of the mystery object and answers must be yes or no. The winner is whomever guesses the object first or can stump the other players with their object.
    7. I Spy: Similar to 20 Questions, I Spy is another classic travel game. One person in the car looks around and chooses an object. The guessers are given one clue: “I spy with my little eye something that is (insert first letter of objects name, objects color, or other clue of your choice)”. Players can’t choose something that is whizzing by too fast; objects must be within the car or far enough in the distance to be within sight for a few minutes. Guessers attempt to figure out the nature of the object and the winner gets to create their own mystery object.
    8. Team Storytelling: Inspire your family’s creative side by creating a group story. Someone begins by creating one line to a story (for example, “There once was a prince under a curse…”) and each person must add one line to the story as you go. If simple storytelling is too dull for you, spice it up by making the lines have to rhyme, or by pointing at players out of order to come up with a line on the spot. You can extend the game by writing down the story and having your children create illustrations for it.
    9. Word Play: Have your kids write down words they see as they’re traveling from billboards, bumper stickers, restaurants, etc. Once they get a certain amount, have them write a story, poem or song that includes all of the words they have found. When they’re done, have them read or sing their creation out loud for the rest of the family.
    10. Counting Cows: Rural countrysides can make for pretty dull window viewing, so make it more interesting by turning it into a game. Create a set distance within which players have to find as many cows on their side of the road as possible. If you have the misfortune of passing a cemetery on your side of the road, then you have to start over. If you’re not in cow country, try counting something else, like phone booths, mailboxes, or houses of a certain color.
    11. Rock, Paper, Scissors: This classic game makes it easy to keep kids occupied. Players put their hands behind their backs and pull one out to reveal either rock (closed fist), paper (flat hand) or scissors (first and middle fingers in a “v”). Scissors beats paper, paper beats rock and rock beats scissors. Kids can get creative and think up three other competing things (cowboy, ninja, and bear for instance).
    12. License Plate Lingo: You can use the license plates of the cars around you to provide entertainment for your kids. The goal of this game is to come up with a phrase using the letters on passing license plates. For example, if you see a plate with the letters “EIC,” your phrase could be “eat ice cream.”. You can make this game as silly or as serious as you’d like.
    13. Travel Scavenger Hunt: Keep children occupied with a travel scavenger hunt. Compile a list of objects for each child to find along the road. For example, you could have things like “brown cow” or “water tower”. Anything that comes to mind that you might be passing will work, or you can use prepared lists like this. You can also turn this game into a form of bingo with a game card like this. The winner is the first one to find everything on his or her list.
    14. The Banana Game: Single out yellow vehicles with the banana game. Players get points for each yellow car they point out passing. Double points are awarded for buses and larger yellow vehicles. Be prepared, this could get competitive!
    15. String Figures: You wouldn’t think a simple piece of string could keep a kid entertained for hours, but in some cases it can. Pack a piece of string or yarn tied into a circle for your child and challenge them to learn to make string shapes like Jacob’s Ladder, Kitty Whiskers or to play Cat’s Cradle. If you don’t know much about string games, you can check out a book from the library or print out some instructions from a string game website.
    16. Fortune Teller: Keep your kids giggling with a fortune teller. Fold up your own using these instructions or use a preprinted version. Once folded, you can write colors and numbers and various fortunes on the flaps or turn them into cute animal puppets.
    17. Find the Vehicle: Challenge your kids to find a list of different types and models of cars. Children interested in cars will find this game particularly enjoyable. You can make it more challenging by specifying a color for more common models of cars or types of cargo for semis.
    18. Slug Bug: While the name implies a certain amount of violence, it can also be played much more peacefully. Have your kids count on their fingers or gently tap their seatmate every time they spot a Volkswagen Bug. The specifics of the rules are up to you, but you can make old bugs worth more than new, or certain colors worth more than others.
    19. Map Monitors: One easy way to keep children entertained on the road is to engage them in the process of travel. Give each child a map of your trip and allow them to keep track of your progress using stickers, coloring or something else your child enjoys.
    20. Mad Libs: Mad Libs are a fun and silly way to keep your reading-age kids entertained on a long trip. You can make up your own or use free versions from the Web. Give your kids the worksheets, have them come up with nouns, verbs and adjectives to fill them in, and then have them read their new stories aloud to one another.
    21. Road Trip Math: Have a budding math lover in your car? Entertain them by having them figure out math problems based on your travel. For instance if you pass a sign telling you the next rest stop is 20 miles away, have your child figure out how long it will take you to get there based on your current speed. It might not sound like the most fun, but it will keep your child engaged and learning. Rewards for work well done won’t hurt either.
    22. Fortunately-Unfortunately: Help your children learn to think positively with the game Fortunately-Unfortunately. One player begins with an unfortunate statement like, “Unfortunately, there is a bat in the car.” The next player has to counter with something more fortunate like, “Fortunately, I brought along bat repellant.” Players continue to alternate between unfortunate and fortunate things until you’ve exhausted a particular topic.
    23. Treasure Bottle: You’ll need a little preparation ahead of time, but a treasure bottle can be a great way to keep younger children entertained and engaged. Use a 2 liter bottle or large plastic container with a lid. Fill it 2/3s full with rice or birdseed, then add small “treasures” from around your house like paper clips, bolts, pennies, Legos and any other small things you might have lying around in your junk drawer. Keep count of how many items you put in and write the number on the outside of the bottle. Have kids roll around the bottle until they find everything hidden inside. Just make sure the lid is extra secure so there aren’t any mid-trip messes to clean up.
    24. Who Am I?: Keep your kids guessing with this easy and fun game. Think of someone you and your children know: a family member, neighbor, or friend, and give clues to the person’s identity like their hair color, sex, or whether or not they wear glasses. Let each person guess and if no one gets it, continue giving clues until your kids figure it out.
    25. Find 100: Occupy your kids with counting using Find 100. Choose a color or object and keep counting until you reach 100. Try counting flags, statues, churches, red cars or anything else you can think of. Mix it up by giving each player a different object to find 100 of and race to see who can finish first.
    26. Official Count: Change up the usual counting games by taking an official count. Pick out objects to keep a tally of like motorcycles or vans. Keep a tally of what you see, including the color. At the start of the trip, have your kids make their own predictions about what they think will be the most popular colors or styles of these kinds of vehicles and compare the predictions to the results at the end of your trip.
    27. That’s My Car!: Compete with your fellow passengers to see who can get the sweetest ride. Have each kid choose a car from the next 5 that you pass or that pass by you to be his or her “own” car. All players mutually decide who has the best car of those that are “owned” and that person is the winner.

    With a little creativity and planning, you can keep your kids entertained mile after mile and keep your sanity intact. Try out a few of these suggestions on your next trip and you’ll create both on-the-road entertainment and memories to last a lifetime.

    十大装逼现象!今天你装了吗

    前些天MSN出毛病了,“发布日志”愣是不能点。ctrl+F5,删除cookies,删除cache,用不同的浏览器打开,在家不行就到单位,能使的招数基本上都用了,可就是不行。今天本来没报希望,看着MSN主窗口,我说就点一下吧,嘿,你说这事怪不怪,居然就好了!今儿什么日子?十七大昨天刚结束!仔细想想,好像就从十七大开始那天,发现了这个问题。要说是因为十七大,那别人怎么就能发布?这么说,是因为我个人的原因?本人对政治不感兴趣,压根儿就没发过什么不该发的东西,没理由封我的博客呀!难道是因为以前那篇《绕过防火墙的十个方法》?管他娘的,反正是能发了,那就继续粘贴,供兄弟姐妹们消遣消遣。

    为何叫买"东西"

    南宋理学大家朱熹,在未出仕前,家乡有叫盛温和的好友,此人亦是博学多才的人,一天两人相遇于巷子内,盛手中拿着一个竹篮子,朱熹问他:“你去那里?”

    盛回答说:“我要去买点东西。”

    朱熹是以穷理致知研究学问的人,他听盛的话,很好奇,随即问道:“你说买东西,为什么不说买南北呢?”

    盛温和反问朱熹:“你知什么是五行吗?”

    朱熹答:“我当然知道,不就是金、木、水、火、土吗?”

    盛说:“不错,你知道了就好办,现在我说给你听听,东方属木,西方属金,南方属火,北方属水,中间属土。我的篮子是竹做的,盛火会烧掉,装水会漏光,只能装木和金,更不会盛土,所以叫买东西,不说买南北呀。”

    朱熹听后唉了一声说:“原来是这样!”

    原来“买东西”这个名词还有这样一个典故,未收到这篇故事前,还真是搞不懂为何会说“买东西”而不说“买南北”,看了这篇故事后,才知道原来还有这样一段插曲呢,古人的智慧真是蕴藏在我们的生活中。

    最美的心(The Most Beautiful Heart)

    本文语音RM下载链接

    One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered, and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a flaw in it.

    一天,一位年轻人站在城镇的中央,宣布他的心是整个山谷中最美丽的心。围观的人很多,他们都称赞年轻人的心的确是完美无缺,并没有一点伤痕瑕疵。

    Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.”

    突然,一位老人出现在人群中,说:“你的心不如我的美丽。”
    The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

    围观者和年轻人都朝老人的心看去:它布满了伤疤,有的地方被挖去又重新填补上,但修补得不甚完整,留下一些参差不齐的疤痕。实际上,有的地方缺失了整块,甚至露出很深的豁口。

    The young man laughed. “Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”

    年轻人笑了起来:“我们两人的心相比,我的是那么完美,而你的却是一堆伤疤。”

    “Yes,” said the old man, “Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart. But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

    “是的,”老人说,“你的心从表面来看很完美,但我绝不会跟你交换。你看,每个伤疤都代表我为别人献出的一份爱——我掏出一块心给他们,他们常常会掏出自己的一块回赠给我,以填补我的空缺。但由于这两块不完全一样,伤口的边缘就留下了疤痕,不过我十分珍惜这些疤痕,因为它们使我想起我们共同拥有的爱心。”

    “Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges — giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?”

    “有时我送出了一瓣心,其他人并没有回赠给我,因此就出现了这些豁口——献出爱也是需要冒风险的。尽管这些豁口很疼,我还是让它们敞开着,因为它们能使我想起我付出的爱。我希望有一天,得到爱的人们能够回来填补上我心里的空间。你现在明白什么是真正的美丽了吧?”

    The young man walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man.

    年轻人默默走近老人,把手伸进自己完美的心中,撕下一块来,把它献给这位老人。

    The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

    老人接过馈赠,把它放进自己的心里。然后他从自己疤痕累累的心里掏出一块,放在年轻人心里的那个伤口上。正好放进去,但不是特别吻合,也出现了一些疤痕。

    The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s heart flowed into his.

    年轻人看着自己的心,看起来不再完美但比以前更美丽了,因为老人心中的爱也流淌到了他的心里。

    They embraced and walked away side by side.

    他们拥抱着,肩并肩离开了。

    中国古典小说中的“做爱”解读

    停车做爱枫林晚

    □玫瑰水手

      青年文摘(彩版)思想着

     

      

      □□——这两个口罩是从文章标题中第三个字、第四个字脸上摘下来的。

      

      据俺的观察,在中国,是越通俗的事情越不能说。雅如音乐、文学,虽然真正懂得的人并不多,但却是人人挂在嘴上的。俗如做爱,虽然是每个男女的必修课,但一开口阐述,必被视为流氓。

      做爱是个舶来词(make love),但却最符合中国人的秉性。中国人做爱是名副其实:只做不说。

      从古至今,西方的哲学家对于做爱有着浩瀚的诠释,而中国似乎只有孟子一句“食、色,性也。”也还止步于“色”,不敢涉及“做”,并且把“色”和“食”并举,仿佛表明圣者对“色”的超然态度:“色”不过是一种家常便饭罢了,无甚说的。而实际上,你可以问人:“你吃饭了吗?”却不能把“你做爱了吗”作为问候常挂在嘴边。圣者的超然,很有些掩耳盗铃的味道。

      古典小说里,写做爱的也不少,但却多半是雾里看花,隔靴搔痒。

      《喻世明言》“蒋兴哥重会珍珠衫”有两句“分明久旱逢甘雨,胜过他乡遇故知”,虽是写做爱的,却言不及义,让人错觉为两位老友重逢,畅谈人生理想。

      一件俗事,作者为了撇清,非要用雅文来描写,令人啼笑皆非。如果文字中涉及“挺矛拔草,游蛇入洞”,虽然没有“露骨”,还须读者用充分的想像配合,也通常会被□□□□代替,恰似人的嘴被强制戴了口罩。至于“翻云覆雨”超过五百字,那就是连口罩都不可救药的了,只好株连九族,满门抄斩,被列为禁书。

      对做爱“说”起来讳莫如深,真正“做”起来也不爽快。

      中国有五千年悠久的文化,照例是“道德”得不行,在做爱这件事上却可以看出中国人很有些小人。男人做爱,多半以爱为幌子,同时可以“爱”很多人。一般来说,当某个男人说:“我爱你!”其实他的潜台词就是要和你上床。似乎“爱”才是主题,“做”只是形式。如此一来,做爱便可以光明正大。

      闲读纪昀《阅微草堂笔记》,有一则故事很有趣:“京师一宅近空圃,圃故多狐。有丽妇夜逾短垣,与邻家少年狎。惧事泄,初诡托姓名。欢昵渐恰,度不相弃,乃自为圃中狐女。少年悦其色,亦不疑拒。久之,忽妇家屋上掷瓦骂曰:‘我居圃中久,小儿女戏抛砖石,惊动邻里,或有之,实无冶荡蛊惑事。汝奈何污我?’”明明自己和别人做爱,偏偏要赖到狐女身上,也算天下奇闻了。
