Illegible handwriting does not indicate weakness of character, as even a quick glance at the penmanship of George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, or John F. Kennedy reveals.

For the Greeks, beauty was a virtue: a kind of excellence. If it occurred to the Greeks to distinguish between a person's “inside” and “outside,” they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. The well-born young Athenians who gathered around Socrates found it quite _______________ that their hero was so intelligent, so brave, so honorable, so seductive ― and so ugly.

We should behave towards our country as women behave towards the men they love. A loving wife will do anything for her husband except to stop criticizing and trying to improve him. That is the right attitude for a citizen. We should cast the same affectionate but sharp glance at our country. We should love it, but also insist upon telling it all its faults. The dangerous man is not the (A)___________, but the noisy empty (B)___________ who encourages us to indulge in orgies of self-congratulation.

Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about our Silver Service activities and why we believe it is important for everyone to be involved in helping the elderly in our community. Did you know that one in every six people over the age of 60 in this community needs some kind of help in his or her home? Those of us who have experience in this kind of work know that our small “investments” in time and effort are nothing compared to the kind of satisfaction and fulfillment we get in return.

The speech is delivered by a ____________.

Fortunately, psychologists believe that books can serve as therapeutic tools ― or at least as effective adjuncts to professional therapy ― to help children come to terms with their parents' divorce. According to educator-counselor Joanne Bernstein, stories that confront life's problems with candor and credibility may provide insights, promote self-examination, and lead to changes in attitude and behavior. One way stories accomplish this is through identification. Reading about the grief and anxiety of others, she explains, can arouse sudden awareness as problems that have not been consciously or completely recognized are allowed to surface. Introduced to characters who share their difficulties, children may feel less alienated and thus freer to discuss and resolve their own plight.

Various fogs are essentially clouds that form at the earth's surface, produced by temperature differences and moisture in the air. As warm, moisture-laden air cools, the amount of moisture that air can contain decreases. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air. So if the air is cooled sufficiently it will reach the dew point, at which the moisture begins to gather together out of the air and form water drops, creating fog.

Job-related stress can lead to symptoms of poor physical health such as weight gain, fatigue and illness. Both diet and exercise can contribute to the alleviation of these negative effects of stress. The first step is to eliminate junk food from the diet. Instead of soda or a candy bar, try a piece of fresh fruit. The next step is to make a habit of exercising every day. And you should aim for twenty to thirty minutes of exercise a day. The key is to find a form of exercise that you enjoy. That way, you are more likely to do it every day and will receive the maximum benefit. Both diet and exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, keep you feeling energized, and protect you from sickness. Then you will be better equipped to deal with the sources of stress at your job.

Dogs have long had special standing in the medical world. Trained to see for the blind, hear for the deaf and move for the immobilized, dogs have become indispensable companions for people with disabilities. However, dogs appear to be far more than four-legged health care workers. One Japanese study found pet owners made 30 percent fewer visits to doctors. A Melbourne study of 6,000 people showed that owners of dogs and other pets had lower cholesterol, blood pressure and heart attack risk compared with people who didn’t have pets. Obviously, the better health of pet owners could be explained by a variety of factors, but many experts believe companion animals improve health at least in part by lowering stress.

More and more people are turning away from their doctors and, instead, going to individuals who have no medical training and who sell unproven treatments. They go to quacks to get everything from treatments for colds to cures for cancer. And they are putting themselves in dangerous situations. Many people don't realize how unsafe it is to use unproven treatments. First of all, the treatments usually don't work. They may be harmless, but, if someone uses these products instead of proven treatments, he or she may be harmed. Why? Because during the time the person is using the product, his or her illness may be getting worse. This can even cause the person to die.
