Text 1
Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.
Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to nior editor. I would have a life- time of curity if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s of- rice. Would he rage?
I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk.“ I be.- gan awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’ m forty. There’ s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.
““To another paper?“ he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to. start a new media company. We w6月5日是世界什么日
ere at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly en-gaged in the change. “I’ m glad for you,“ he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from
a board of directors meeting and it was venty-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’ t,“ he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,“ he con- cluded. “And if it doesn’ t work out, remember, your star is always high here. “
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody--even though I’ d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial curity I had carefully built up.

ater, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’ m resigning, Bill,“ I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pau, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in
your shoes. “

参考译文
假如你正为某些事情担忧或是在工作上、学业中承受着很大的压力，你极有可能睡得不好。忧虑使你无法入睡，你在床上辗转反侧，直到早晨时分才能睡得着觉。醒来的时候，你并不觉得精神焕发神清气爽，而是精疲力竭，无法迎接安稳的近义词
新一天的降临。
近期的报纸上登载了一篇亨利温可尔博士的文章，题目是《压力与睡眠》。温可尔博士认为压力和睡眠缺乏有直接的联系。他说：“我们越是忧心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越没有方法对抗忧虑。”他还补充说：“假如能找到使自己睡个好觉的方法，我们就能有足够的精力解决我们的问题。”
那么，毕竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?讨论说明，保持安康需要的睡眠数量是因人而异的。7小时是平均数。然而令人不解的是，延长睡眠时间，非但不能让人精神焕发，反而会引起头痛。温可尔博士认为睡前的预备工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人临睡前应当稍稍休息一下，做点有助于放
松的事，可以看看电视或听听音乐。早晨做运动也会使人在身体上和精神上有疲惫感。睡前喝点饮料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，由于它们含有的咖啡因会使你无法入眠。温可尔博士指出：“关灯之后，你就该集中精神放松你的肌肉。渐渐地从脚开头放松，就会不知不觉地进入梦乡了。”答案及解析
