How long have you been busy, rushing around all day? We are always on, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. There is just no   1   for stillness.

   And when we are   2   to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting for a bus or train, we often   3    something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re   4    .

   This comes at a   5    : we lose time for   6   , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And worse yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get   7    done.

   Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering    8     ？Are you always   9   through your schedule?

   Is this how you want to spend your   10    ? If so, peace is with you. If not, take a moment to be    11    . Then after a minute of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d like it to be. See your life with less movement, more stillness and more    12    .

   Then be that vision.

It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is to sit still for a little bit each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too    13   . Slow down; find happiness now, at this moment, instead of   14     for it.

15    the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.

Last year , my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病).

It is still hard to write that word.   16    is even harder to say it out loud, because it feels like that will make it more real. Although I wish I could either change the diagnosis   17

All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.

       The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.

       Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.

       Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.

       a. The demand for nurses will decrease.                    

b. Many nurses will be too old to work.

       c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.
