What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your m
21、ind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, thats right, stop. Whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute. While youre sitting ther
22、e, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Dont cheat yourself here. Take the entire minutebut only one minuteto do nothing else but feel that emotion. When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I w
23、illing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?” Once youve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a li
24、ttle longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel youve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if youre willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
25、 This exercise seems simplealmost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space
26、 and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.41.

31、n centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans Available Continental Breakfast Breakfast and Dinner Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinn

Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee.

33、ast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

38、 in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots. City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns.In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials
39、 think. Now San Francisco has found a solutiona phone app for spot-seekers that displays information about areas with available spaces. The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors (感应器) fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up.Monique S
40、oltani, a TV reporter, said she and her sister spent 25 minutes on Friday trying to park. “We were praying to the parking god that wed find a spot,” she said. “If we had the app, we would not have to pray to the parking god.” But the system could come with serious consequences. Some people say that
41、drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road. “It could be really distracting (使分心的),” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.City officials acknowledge the potential problem. They are urging drivers to pull over before they u
42、se the citys iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated. San Francisco has put sensors into 7,00
43、0 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages. If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency. On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of p
44、laces (blue) and which are full (red).More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Franciscos app, which is available now only for the iPhone but which city officials say they hope to bring to all similar devices.When it is started up, the citys parking app warns drivers not to use the system while i
45、n motion. But safety advocates said that might not be sufficient. After all, they say, texting while driving is illegal in California and in many states, but a number of surveys, including one by the Pew Research Center, show that many Americans do it anyway. Elizabeth Stampe, executive director of
46、Walk San Francisco, a pedestrian advocacy group, said she hoped the new parking app would lead to fewer accidents.“Its an innovative idea,” she said. “The safe way for people to use the device is for them to pull over, which they know they should do. The question is whether they will.”But Ms. Soltani, the TV reporter, said using the app would probably join the group of activities already performed by drivers.“Were already looking at Google Maps and Facebook on the
