• 2．My husband Chris and I were on Brighton Beach.While we were walking along the beach，we saw a woman in the water.She was fully dressed，lying on her back.We hesitated：we knew this scene wasn't right.Then we heard， "Help，please!I don't want to die！"
     We ran to the shoreline.I shouted to her， "We are here；you are not going to die.We won't let that happen.Can you swim to us？" It quickly became apparent from her distress that she had gone out there with the intention of drowning herself，but had then changed her mind.
     After struggling for a while，she was finally pulled out of the water by us .I sat next to her and asked her name.She was my age and kept saying how sorry she was for wasting our time.I couldn't imagine how much pain she must have been in to feel that desperate.
     "Shall I let you into a secret？" I said. "Four years ago，almost to this very hour，I was taken to an operating theatre to have a double lung transplant （移植）．My life was saved by a stranger，and now here we are，strangers helping you.Please don't apologize；we are glad to be here."
     That was the reason why Chris and I had taken the train to Brighton：to mark the anniversary of my transplant.Before that operation，I had to wear an oxygen mask，using a wheelchair，unable to wash by myself.But I stuck to the belief that a better life was waiting for me，if I could hold on.The woman on the beach broke my heart when she said I'd deserved to get better，but that she didn't.I told her we were both just very ill and needed to let other people help us sometimes.
     We may get desperate sometimes，but we should always believe we'll have a bright future.And very likely we may be helped out by a stranger.

• 3．You've no doubt heard people say how much they "need" a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want one.Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment.However，work for many people today is office work and mental，rather than physical tasks.These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday，rather than simply lying on a beach.
     Once people become used to going on holiday，taking holidays becomes a habit.For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up，and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday.It may give them a "lift" in facing some difficulties in life.
     Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans-dark（曬黑的） skins we get from a holiday.So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common；although we join a tan together with health，it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems，as well as drying out one's skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

  .
  A．hate working indoors all the time
  B．want to get away from work
