Is there anything more important than health? I don"t think so. "Health is the greatest wealth (财富)," wise people say. You can"t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is follow his advice. Speaking about doctor"s advice, I can"t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule:"Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn"t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor"s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it"s not easy to begin smoking at my age." |

The mothers met while walking their beloved dogs in the local park, the Donald Mcdonald Reserve, several years ago and developed a friendship that began with small talk about their pets. This quickly turned to afternoon get-together, where kids, dogs and grown-ups formed firm friendships. Now the pair and their pets meet several times a week on the grass near Sandringham College, a place for a huge network of dog owners who have formed all kinds of friendships and a good old-fashioned sense of community. Dogs, it seem, are good for social life. The combination (结合) of excited kids and dogs could be a recipe (处方) for disaster and Miller says it is surprisingly harmonious (和谐的). "There are some other people who don"t have kids but have started to meet us quite regularly," she says. "the other day, there were seven dogs, five adults and six children all walking around the park together." Friendships formed through pets seem to cross cultural and age barriers (阻碍) and often include helping when someone is sick or needs help to care for a bet. A woman says she"s answered several SOS calls from elderly people who have become ill suddenly and need a help. "The friendships are such that you see these people every day and you get to know them and they trust you with their pets and know they can call you at the last minute," she says. One dog owner says that, even as a child, she noticed how dogs could act as conversational ice-breakers for adults. Like people, dogs are also social creatures. "Dogs need to meet others," she says, "they are pack animals." |

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don"t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don"t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven"t been honest, you may lose your friend"s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend"s place so that you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. |

Honesty comes in many forms. First there"s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I"m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account ). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, "Always be a first-class version of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else." Then there"s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you"ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can"t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn"t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I"d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn"t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn"t do that anymore, because I wasn"t really helping them. They weren"t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn"t helping me. It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit into your PBA and will build strength. |
1. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland"s words? |
[ ] |
A. Be your true self rather than follow others. B. Don"t copy others or you can"t be the first class. C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. D. Don"t learn from others unless they"re excellent. |
2. What does the author expect to show by Jeff"s story? |
[ ] |
A. honesty can be of great help. B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody. D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds. |
3. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____. |
[ ] |
A. one must be brave to be honest B. it"s difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in one"s actions can help him in the future |

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, a wise man advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can"t!" It took years and years for the early work of Barara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn"t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age was. At 90, cellist Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuei Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle (使起皱纹) the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer long ago told me, I never made a dime until I stopped working for money." If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had trouble d her for at least 30 years,and the quality of her led one critic (批评家)to say, "I"d like to call Layton a genius." We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-been". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, which all our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. |
