　　Now and then we all get ill．Then we usually go to see a doctor．Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill．They may give us something to take．The medicine often makes us well again．

　　But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work．A sick person does not get well．The pain will not go away．This happened to one man．He was in hospital, but he was not getting well．Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself．This “doctor” was his own sense of humor(幽默感)．He saw funny films．He read funny books．And something wonderful happened．Laughing took away his pain．Then he was able to sleep and rest．His own happy feeling helped him to fell well again．He said laughing was his best “medicine”．His doctor thought so, too．

　　Another man was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back．The doctors could not stop it from hurting．So the man began to “Picture” his pain．In his head e “drew ” a picture of a dog．He imagined it as a real dog．And he made friends with the dog．And his pain went away!

　　These stories may surprise you．But more and more people are getting well in this way．So visit the“doctor”inside your own head and you can stay happy and well．

　　In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money．Money does have its most useful effect on the poor．But even if a person has already got plenty of money, ________．

　　If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life．However, this is not always correct．

　　Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”．But can love be bought?I’m afraid not．Love means to give, not to take．To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things．Well, can health and a long life be bought with money?The answer is “No”．

　　Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires．True friendship can’t be bought, either．In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight．No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for．

　　Hi．my name is Christina Baum．I'm a fourteen-year-old German student．I'm writing to tell you about an experiment we are doing at school with our science teacher．At the beginning of this school year, Frau Keller showed us films and we read articles about problems in the environment．One day she said．“I want to know what you think．Please don’t tell me what we should do or must do．(1)Tell me what each of you will do to protect the environment．”

　　She asked us to choose a topic．make a weekly plan and tell the class about it．Then we had to do things to be“green”and write a report about our success．Some students said that they thought it was impossible for a single person to contribute to the protection of the environment．Someone else said that scientists should work harder to find new ways to produce energy．

　　Frau Keller said that it is everyone's job to care for the health of the planet．(2)After the first week everybody in class was excited about the project and wanted to continue to improve their results．Someone suggested telling the other classes in the school．Now all 768 students at Hermann Stein School are working on the project．At the end of the year, our class will write a report about what we have done．

　　(3)下星期我將會(huì)考慮怎樣不會(huì)浪費(fèi)水或者污染水．I'm planning to try and use less water every day, and also not use so much of the things that make it dirty．Every time I turn on the tap(水龍頭)I must think about how much water and soap I use．

　　For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult．Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down．If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings．Talk to someone about it．Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study．If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else．

　　How to get through exams?Here are some advice：

　　Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills－h(huán)ow to work when you are in an exam．

　　Take short rests during your time of work．If your mind is tired, it will not remember well．

　　Plan your work：study at times when you know you will work at your best．

　　Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food．

　　You need exercise to work well．Walk, run, play sport－whatever you enjoy．

　　Stop thinking about the future and failing．

　　If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries．But don’t be too relaxed!Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them．

　　If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it!In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished．What is done is done．You cannot change what you have written!

　　To this advice, we could add：

　　If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed．Your mind will still be“going round and round”－thinking too much．Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise．Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things．

　　The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow．It began in 1970 as a small, unimportant race．Only 127 people ran, and just 55 of them finished．They ran around Central Park four times．Few people watched them run．However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular．

　　Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon．Runners must be at least 18 years old, but there is no age limit(限制)．In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man．Recently, more than 27,000 people ran in the New York City Marathon．Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks and encouragement．

　　The course(路線(xiàn))of the marathon has changed, too．Instead of running around Central Park, the runners go through the five districts of New York City：Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island．The marathon begins at the base(基座)of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island．The runners go across the bridge into Brooklyn．Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx．The marathon finishes in Central Park in Manhattan．The complete course is 26.2 miles, and takes the best runners less than 3 hours．

　　Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting．Through the years, many unusual events(事件)have happened during the marathon．For example, Pat Tuz and John Weilbaker got married a few minutes before the race．Then they ran the race with their party members．Some people run the whole marathon as a family．Other people run the race backwards．

　　In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder(創(chuàng)始人)of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his last race．He was very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running．In October 1994, Fred died．However, the New York City Marathon, and all its excitement, will continue for many years to come．
