For many times in the past years I went to the hospital for some minor 【1】 (treat) during my travel in other cities. It was the 【2】 (sad) moment of my life, I think, because nobody would come to the hospital to visit me. 【3】 patients had family or friends to visit them during the visiting hours I felt really alone. 【4】 is it possible that out of a whole world full of people, 【5】 would come to visit me for just an hour? The answer in my case was simple. With a bit of medication (藥物治療), I was back in the stream of life again. But I 【6】 (leave) with a deep thought for all the people and the elderly. 【7】 knows how many others that lie in the hospital with nobody 【8】 (visit) them or give a kind word of comfort? I had this wonderful idea of forming 【9】 organization in cities around the world, getting to hospitals to visit the patients who never get a visit and someone local could drop 【10】 with a smile and a kind word.

“Living within 300 metres of green space 【1】 (associate) with greater happiness, sense of worth and life satisfaction,” says a new study. 【2】 (use) data from UK government’s Annual Population Survey (APS) of 25518 people, the researchers show that people 【3】 live within 300 metres of green space have significantly better mental well-being. “A lot of research focuses 【4】 poor mental health, or single aspect of well-being like life satisfaction.

The study, 【5】 (publish) in the journal Applied Geography, found that there is a very strong relationship between the amount of green space around a person’s home 【6】 their feelings of life satisfaction, happiness, and self-worth. Green space within 300 metres of home made the greatest 【7】 (differ) to mental well-being.

In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?

Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.

Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.
