Everybody gets stressed time to time. 1 Some ways of dealing with stress -like screaming or hitting
someone一don"t solve (解决),much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to
solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps. the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk
To "trusted adult, such as "parent or other relatives. 2 They might have had similar problems, such
as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don"t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on
themselves. Oh, dear, that"s good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don"t take
it out on yourself. 3
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you"re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it"s time
to get down to business. 4 Even if you can"t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,
especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren"t magic, but
they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make
your way through a tough time, you"ll help yourself feel better even faster. 5
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends" feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E. You need to figure out what the problem is.
F. And don"t forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.
disabled people control their wheelchairs. The key is a device that is put in the ears and listens for tongue
clicks and then translates the sounds into commands for a wheelchair.
Mouth interfaces (接口)that interact with wheelchairs are already common for seriously disabled
people. One device that fits within the roof of the mouth houses buttons that can be pressed with the
tongue.
"But everything that involves tongue movement requires putting something in the mouth," says Ravi,
from the University of Bristol, UK. Besides issues of hygiene (卫生),these devices make it difficult for
the user to eat or speak, if they are able to ,while using it. Monitoring tongue movements through the ear
avoids these problems.
The new device, a simple microphone that looks like an earphone for listening to music, picks up
certain sounds made by four sorts of tongue clicks. The microphone sends the information to a signal
processor which sorts out the clicks and passes the information to the wheelchair, where each click type
moves the chair in a distinct direction.
Ravi"s group has used the interface to control a virtual wheelchair. They have also used it to control
the reaching and grasping movements of a robotic arm. The four tongue clicks can be mastered in a
couple of hours, say the researchers. "This is a promising technique," says Jose del R. Millan, who has
been working on brain interfaces for controlling wheelchairs at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
in Lausanne. If it can be combined with real wheelchairs and shown to work reliably it could be very
valuable for patients, he says.
The researchers plan to start using real wheelchairs, but in the meantime they are looking at whether
the number of commands can be increased by using a microphone in each ear, to get clearer signals to
the wheelchairs. "Even if four clicks prove to be the limit, it only takes 0.2 second to detect each sound,
so it"s possible to spread high-level commands through combinations of clicking sounds," the researchers
say.
B. The device.
C. The wheelchair.
D. the brain.
B. The device is dirty and leads to disease.
C. The device makes it difficult for people to eat or speak.
D. People are disturbed by the device when listening.
B. It hasn"t been put into practice to control wheelchairs.
C. It can pick up all sounds made by tongue clicks.
D. It can give orders where the wheelchair should go .
B. That it needs a long time to detect each sound.
C. That it can only combine some easy tongue clicks.
D. That it takes a long time for the disabled to learn tongue clicks.
First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you"d
better eat something different; if you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients your body
needs.
Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you"re really thirsty, cold water is the NO.
choice. Lilk is a great drink that can give you more calcium your body needs to grow strong bones.
Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your
body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel
comfortable and make you fat.
Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and videos, or using computers.
It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can"t watch TV for
more than two hours a day.
Fifth, be active. One thing you"d like to do as a kid is to find out which activity you like best. Find ways
to be active every day.
Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.

In 1963,former Senator Gaylord Nelson began to worry about our planet. Nelson knew that our world
was getting dirty and that many of our plants and animals were dying. He wondered why most people
weren"t trying to solve these problems. He talked to other lawmakers and to the President. They decided
that the President would go around the country and tell people about these problems. He did, but still not
enough people were working on it.
Then in 1969, Senator Nelson had another idea. He decided to have a special day to teach everyone
about the things that needed changing in our environment. He wrote letters to all of the colleges and put a
special article in Scholastic Magazine to tell them about the special day he had planned.
On April 22,1970, the first Earth Day meeting was held. People all over the country made promises to
help improve the environment. Since then, Earth Day has spread all over the planet. People all over the
world know that there are problems we need to work on and this is our special day to look at the planet
and see what needs changing. Isn"t it great? One person had an idea and kept working until everyone
began working together to solve it.

cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG(味精) packets(小包), together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is
the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in
front of us. Many people who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown
that the layer (层) of wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too
frequently. It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant
noodles as our body need about 3 days to clear that layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it
is stored in our body system for a long period of time.
There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles:
1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir(搅和) it and pour away the water containing the wax coating.
2) Repeat Step 1 and try to stir the noodles again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking it in a new pot of water.
Hope this article will let more people have self-awareness of the hidden danger of instant noodles and
thus eat safely and stay healthy.

When I was in my 20s , my life was full of fun. At that time , my aim was studying and trying to make
out what I would do when I got to my 30s . In my 30s, life became a challenge(挑战). I had to prove to
the world that I could make a difference in my life. I always kept two jobs so that I could keep going after
my dreams. I also tried studying while making a living. It was not easy, but I made it when I reached 45
years old.
Now I"m in my 50s,I continue to move forward and look at my life positively. To all the people who are
in their 50s and more, take my advice---it is never too late to do anything. Ask yourself: after all these

to stop to think and improve yourself.
