Having a healthy family life can lower the risk of heart attack and boost your
chance of living longer. __1__
Care for elders in a loving way
Caring for an elderly loved one is a wonderful way to show compassion and
service, and it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice everything. __2__ Kids and marriages
can be powerfully impacted by how these decisions are handled,both negatively and
positively. They thoroughly think through the potential impact of moving an aging
parent into the home or providing extended care. A good boundary with an aging parent
is to do occasional outgoings.
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude
Healthy families set a culture of being grateful for the things you appreciate in life,
big and small. Set up a respectful space where at the end of each day, each family
member share what they are grateful for. __3__
Keep treats out of sight(and out of mind)
What you see is what you want to eat. __4__ Put the sugary treats out of sight and
leave colorful fruits and vegetables out on the counter or on the most visible shelves in
the fridge so that you're more likely to reach for a nutritious snack.
___5__
Healthy families will create a safe environment for healthy communication, where
each individual feels like their feelings are acknowledged. When conflict arises, they
don't have to agree with each other but they still need to acknowledge each other's
feelings. They still feel their opinions are valued. They also learn tools for how conflicts
can be resolved. No one shuts down, or runs away when there is disagreement. They
work it out.

Is it your dream to fly and to work in space? __6__ Like many jobs,the first thing
would be to fill out the application. 18,300 people filled out applications recently to be
an astronaut. But out of those applicants, just 8 to 14 will be hired by NASA, the U. S.
space agency. __7__
According to Anne Roemer, NASA's Selection Manager, making the selections is
a very hard job. It starts by reviewing all of the files to make sure they meet the basic qualifications and requirements.

college degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or
mathematics. They also need at least three years of experience in a similar field or at
least 1,000 hours as a jet airline pilot.
__8__ And then there are personality tests as well.
About 120 applicants will be invited to the Johnson Space Center in Houston,
Texas,for a first round of interviews. Then, about half of them will go back for a second
round.
Once the astronauts are selected, they must complete two years of training. They
will learn about all the systems used by NASA.They will learn the Russian language as
well. __9__ They also learn EVA,or Extravehicular Activities. In other words, they
learn all about walking in space.

developed. They include NASA's Orion,which will be taking people into deep space
exploration. __10__
