How to Keep Your Cool in a Traffic Jam
①How to keep your cool in a traffic jam is all about learning how to manage your
frustrations and anger in order to ensure the safety of all your passengers and of other road
users. Everyone has seen horrific incidents of drivers, clearly frustrated by being stuck in a
traffic jam, doing stupid andor risky things and putting themselves and others at risk. This is
something to be avoided at all costs, so it is best to consider ways to keep your cool in
advance.
②The first step is to practise simple anger management techniques. Open the car window
and take deep breaths, one after another. This may not apply, of course, in a smog- filled city
centre but can help in other places. This alleviates (缓解) anger, stress and frustration.
③Put the radio on and find a station playing some soothing (抚慰的) — perhaps
classical — music. Even better, keep a CD of the same type in the car and pop it in to the CD
player when you are stuck in a traffic jam. Certain types of music are capable of having a very
calming effect, although the types of music which have this effect will vary from individual to
individual.
④Try not to dwell upon the consequences of being stuck in the traffic jam. Even if it is
going to make you late for the most important meeting of your life, know that there is quite
simply nothing that you can do about it and that the issue can and will be dealt with at a later
time. Dreading the consequences of being stuck in the traffic jam is a certain way to build up
frustration and perhaps cause it to boil over.
⑤Try thinking about something totally unrelated to the traffic jam. Perhaps there is
something in your life which you have been trying to find time to work out. Take the time to
do so while stuck in the traffic jam and therefore essentially utilize time which would
otherwise be wasted. It could even be that in this instance being stuck in the traffic jam turns
out to be a blessing in disguise.

Easy and Safe Exercises for Elderly People
Exercise is a good thing for all people. Too much exercise, however, can end your life.
Keep in mind that a person does not have to be muscle bound to be in good physical
condition.
For elderly people a certain amount of exercise is good for each of them. Just walking a
mile or two each day improves circulation and helps maintain muscle tone. (31)______
___. This kind of mild exercise is beneficial to nearly every muscle in the body. This
should be regarded as a low-impact form of exercise, rather than trying to swim many
laps as if you were training for the Olympics.
(32)____ _____. The point here is that you want to be reasonably physically fit and
maybe reduce the amount of body fat that you most certainly do not need. So gardening,
woodworking or other hobbies that require a certain amount of exercise can provide you
with just enough exercise. Keep in mind that just a few hours each day of such activities
is usually all of the exercise that you may require.
The combination of exercise with the enjoyment of your hobby is definitely the best
exercise. (33)___ ______. People who collect antiques or other collectibles usually go to
yard sales, garage sales, or flea markets. (34)____ ____. It is an excellent way to be out
and about in the fresh air and the sunshine.
Another worthwhile activity is to go to the zoo, museum, art gallery or some trade fairs.
Boat shows, car shows, camping shows are such places where you can learn a few things
while getting a certain amount of low-impact exercise. (35)____ ____,
Last but not least, a daily trip to the supermarket will offer you an opportunity for yet
another period of low- impact exercise. Enjoy!
A. Doing so requires a certain amount of walking, bending over, lifting and carrying such
items.
B. You will remain active and feel like you are making a positive contribution toward your
well-being.
C. Some people like to swim two or three times each week for about 30 minutes each time.
D. A trip to a State fair or a County fair will serve the same purpose.
E. Whatever the reason, elderly people should go out and breathe the fresh air and enjoy the
sunshine.
F. To push yourself beyond your normal endurance level is nothing more than madness.
