Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water!This is just one of hundreds of pieces of advice you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝).Hiccups are so mysterious(神秘的).We really don’t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups.Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well.Others eat a little sugar.Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.
An American man named Jack O’Leary said that he had hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years.He tried 60,000 cures,but none of them worked.Finally he prayed(向…祈祷) to Saint Jude, the saint of Hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
A British worker didn’t stop his hiccups until eight months later. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well.He tried them all,but the hiccups continued.Finally,he drank a “secret” mixture(混合物) someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.

Values join us together and set us apart. Today, our society has a terrible lack(缺乏)of values. Here are some social values that everyone needs.
◆Respect
Respect means to respect(尊重)others in everyday life. Even if you are against a person, it is important to have respect. It is this respect that makes us human. Without this respect, we become animals. We need to respect our friends for our friendships. We even need to respect our enemies, because they help us to grow up and be stronger. Respect is one of the crucial values in a relationship.
◆Love
Love is everything. With love in our hearts, we feel no need to hurt another. With love in our hearts, we will pay more attention to the similarities in opinions rather than the disagreement. If we want others to be good to us, we need to be good to them. After all, we give love to get love, right?
◆Loyalty
People often forget the meaning and importance of loyalty(忠诚). Loyalty is necessary for people to believe in each other. In no matter what kind of relationship, we need to believe in each other so that we can work together towards the same goal.
◆Honesty
Honesty is to show other people who we really are. Honesty helps us do better, because it makes us realize our problems and find ways to solve them. It is this honesty, that will make others help you out, not because you need it. But, because they have problems too, which you can help out with. This honesty will help us follow the other values in society and, truly, "heal the world"!
