Very little in our lives prepares us for (31.PARENT) p arenting/parenthood. Suddenly, your life is turned upside down and all sorts of (32.FAMILIAR) unfamiliar demands are placed on you. How we ourselves were treated by our parents in our (33.YOUNG) youth can have an (34.APPRECIATE) appreciaable effect on who we become as parents. Our own (35.OBSERVE) observation of how our parents responded to us creates a model of parenting that is (36.INTIMATE) intimately connected to the kind of parents we become. It’s not uncommon for people to show the same child-rearing (37.CHARACTER) characteristics as their own parents. If your father was an (38.SYMPATHY) unsympathetic figure who always seemed too busy to care about how you felt, then there’s a chance you will repeat the same behavior. If your mother was utterly (39.SELF) selfless in her devotion to her children, there’s a chance that you too will be equally giving and do all that is (0.HUMAN) humanly possible for your offspring.

ENJOY THE BENEFIT OF STRESS!
The pressures of everyday life are undeniable, but many experts consider the current strategies we use to deal with them to be inadequate and often dangerous. They believe that (51) instead of trying to manage our response to stress by means of drugs and relaxation techniques, we must actually exploit stress. Apparently, research shows that people who create conditions of stress for (52) themselves by doing exciting and risky sports or looking for challenges, cope much better (53) with life’s problems. Activities of (54) this type have been shown to create a lot of emotion; people may actually cry or feel extremely uncomfortable. But there is a point (55) at which they realize they have succeeded and
know that it was a positive experience. This is because we learn through challenge and difficulty. That’s (56) how we get our wisdom. Few of US, unfortunately, understand this fact. For example, many people believe they (57) suffer from stress at work, and take time (58) off as a result. Yet it has been found in some companies that by (59) far the healthiest people are those with the most responsibility. So next time you are in a stress situation, just remember that it will be a possible learning experience and could also (60) benefit your health!

It used to be accept wisdom that higher education provides access to better- paid careers. Therefore, the world of work has changed in recent decades, from one where few people had universities degrees to one where they are very common. A good many underpaid teachers, managers and other professional are considering a career change. Swapping the desk for the tool box, many are retraining to have skilled manual workers, who are very much in demand.
Those who do the change are finding that as plumbers, gas fitters and electricians they can earn a good deal less than they used to. Workers who know nothing about these vital services can demand higher fees from customers and often enjoy considerable independence, at place of the controlled working environment in a school and office. Of course, those who make the break know that if it doesn’t work out, they can usually go back from their profession at a later day.

THE ORIGINS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The Solar System, as we know it, contains over 178 objects which revolve around our central star, or the Sun. Some of this objects can be seen from Earth with the unaided eye or an earth-based telescope, but the majority have only been detected through the development of instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope, or unmanned probes like Voyager. These instruments operate outside Earth’s atmosphere collecting information on the composition and behavior of objects in the Solar System, which has enabled researchers to hypothesize their origins.
It is generally thought that a cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a “nebula”, was disturbed by some major event in space, possibly a supernova, about five billion years ago and began to collapse under its own gravity, forming a cloud. The center of the cloud became so hot that it eventually exploded into a star with the cooler gases flowing around it. In time, the gases condensed into dust, metals, and various kinds of ice in the cold outer reaches of space. These solid particles collided with each other to form larger objects, or asteroids, as they continued to spin around our central star.
As these asteroids increased in size, their gravity began to pull in all the material in their immediate surroundings, and the largest of these went on to become planets. The very different composition of the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus) has led astronomers to hypothesize that their distances from the Sun caused them to develop at different rates and in different ways. According to the most widely-held opinions, the planets closest to the Sun, where all the ice particles were vaporized due to the incredible heat, were formed mostly of rock, silicates, and metals with high melting points. These particles collided and were pulled together by gravity. These inner planets have thin atmospheres or none at all, and few, if any, satellites, which would indicate that most of the available material was either pulled into their own gravity or burned away in the heat of the Sun.
The inner and outer planets are separated by an asteroid belt, consisting of material that was not able to form into planets due to Jupiter’s immense gravity. Beyond this area, as more dust and ice particles escaped destruction by the Sun, four larger planets formed over a longer period of time in a far colder environment as material was thrown out from the center by the spinning star’s centrifugal force. About a million years after the cooling of the original nebula, the Sun began to emit a stream of charged protons and electrons known as solar wind which blew the remaining gases outwards, to be sucked in by the outer planets which became gas giants. These planets attracted many objects in their vast gravity fields, some of which are big enough to be termed “satellites”, and countless smaller fragments which formed rings around the planets.
The discovery of more objects in the Solar System in recent times has led to the need for further classification. Far beyond the outer planets lies Pluto, which was originally considered to be the ninth planet, but which has since been found to be a binary system of two dwarf planets, the other being Charon. Pluto’s origins may be in the recently discovered Kuiper Belt, the source of many of the comets which travel through the Solar System. This theory is based on Pluto’s rock/ice composition which is similar to that of a comet. At one time, also thought to be a moon of Neptune, Pluto/Charon was reclassified in 2006 as one of three dwarf planets discovered so far, the others being Eris and Ceres.
Scientific knowledge is only as good as the ability of scientists to collect evidence, so as new advances are made in astronomy, the present theories may be disproved, as in the case of Pluto. The above account represents the consensus of current opinions on the matter.
