Take a Zen Break　　片刻寧靜禪

The word Zen refers to a type of Buddhism. This form of Buddhism stresses meditation as a means to attain enlightenment about the world around you. Objects in your day-to-day life can even have a Zen feel to them. That is, the items _(1)_ can give you a sense of peace and tranquility when you look at them.
In today's hectic world, more and more people are looking for ways to relieve their stress and pressure. One _(2)_ technique both Buddhists and non-Buddhists use is enjoying a Zen garden. While typical gardens grow flowers or fruit, the goal of a Zen garden isn't to grow anything. Each item in the garden is there to _(3)_ nature. Rocks are especially important, as well as sand and, _(4)_ a lesser degree, plants and water. These earthly essentials allow the "gardener" to _(5)_ simple things in life and how they are connected to them.

For the most part, Zen gardens are fairly large. This doesn't mean that everyday people can't enjoy the benefits of having one. Instead, they can make or purchase miniature _(6)_ that will work just as well. A small box containing stones, sand, and a tiny rake make up a desktop Zen garden. When the gardener needs some time to himself or herself, all he or she has to _(7)_ is pick up the rake, and move it gently through the sand. For a moment of peace, it may be just what the doctor ordered.

Fine Philly　　費城故事

Most schedules for a trip to the United States include glamorous cities like New York, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. But for travelers who are interested in history and are open to discovering a city with lovely architecture,
stimulating nightlife, and a unique local culture, America offers no better travel destination than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

　　It was in the "City of Brotherly Love," as Philadelphia is sometimes called, that the United States was born. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were produced here. One of the signers of those documents was Philadelphia's most famous citizen, Benjamin Franklin.

Travelers to Philadelphia can visit a museum on the site of Franklin's home and tour the building where the Constitution was signed.
