The credit card number is 5431 7602 2597 8413. I have had an Apex card since 1994. This card is valid(有效的)from August 2003 to August 2005. I lost the card yesterday at about 8: 30 in. the evening.

Could you please cancel my card immediately and make the necessary arrangements to issue a replacement card to me? I can be contacted at the telephone number of 347-4587-9056. Thank you for your assistance. Yours faithfully, Paul Anderson

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not a bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our life(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

The market is a concept. If you are, growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If your father is a steel worker, a tuck driver, a doctor, or a grocer, he is producing goods or services for the market. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants. Still, you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market. The market may seem to be something abstract, but for each person or businessman who is marketing and selling something, it's very real . If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something that that the market doesn't want you to do.

" Where do you come in your family?" According to Frank Sulloway, a US sociologist, the order in which we came【C1】______this world—first-born, middle or last-born—can not only help shape our personality(性格), it could【C2】______the success of our relationships, too. Sulloway has【C3】______more than 6 000 people over the past 26 years【C4】______an attempt to prove this theory: "Children compete for a【C5】______in the family", he says, "and if one role has already been【C6】______, later-born children have to choose【C7】______what's left". Because first-borns begin life with exclusive parental attention, they are often more【C8】______to accepting their parents' values,【C9】______later-born children,【C10】______to compete for a place in the family, may grow into rebellious(叛逆的) 【C11】______ 【C12】______if birth order has such an important impact on our【C13】______, does it affect our interactions with other people? Can we, for example,【C14】______the suitability of our【C15】______by their birth order?【C16】______says Sulloway, "Birth order is an excellent way of【C17】______whether a relationship will survive. For example, a【C18】______between a typical first-born husband who's dominating and assertive(武断的), and a later-born wife who likes【C19】______looked after, is very likely to【C20】______out".

Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the marketplace that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value. A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum(铝), nickel(镍), lead, zinc(锌), plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promises to pay". Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.
