Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route（路线）: the number 49 and number 16． But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it． I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport． I counted the other passengers as they got off． There were 129 of them．

Yours，
Tired passenger

Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is necessary to consider, therefore, what the causes of stress are in our lives, and whether we can do something about it.
Do we have too many responsibilities(责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and relaxation in our lives? Are our relationships(关系) with family, friends or fellow workers all that they should be? All these things can be causes of stress, and it is best to face them honestly. People who have a good row(吵架) and then forget it are doing better than those who bottle up their feelings.
If we want to lighten the stress, let us consider what we can do about it. It is possible to change jobs. We can get more free time and live more happily, if we accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude（态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. 28. What have scientists found out?
A. Cancer is the top killer disease in our society today.
