One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach(马车). The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily until we came to the old wooden bridge. A villager told us the river was rising fast. “There’s going to be a bad storm tonight,” he said.

We arrived in the town, but Squire Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was blowing, making a terrible sound.

Suddenly we heard crack. And huge tree fell across the road in front of us. I stopped still(静静地). I was shaking with fear, but I did not turn round or run away.

“We must go back to the crossroads,” said John, “and drive six miles to the wooden bridge.” When we got there it was nearly dark. There was water on the middle of the bridge, but the Squire did not stop. As soon as my feet touched the bridge I knew that something was wrong, I stopped dead. “Go on, Beauty,” he said.

Just then a man saw us. “Hey there! Stop!” he cried.

“What is it?” shouted the Squire.

“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown(淹死) in the river.”

“Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”

When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon:

“We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”

That night I was glad, because I was very tired.

The advice to"let go"of negative (消极的) feelings is repeated in yoga classes and self-help books. Now a new study suggests it really brings lasting health advantages. Those who had a hard time getting over daily troubles had more physical health problems ten years later.

If you are likely to think over daily troubles--running through every "what if" and "if only"-- it makes you feel that's a big deal. Maddux said, “You probably find you feel even worse after a night of thinking. If that cycle is repeated over time, it will wear you down."

The study results are based on 1,155 people who took in a national health study. Each day, the people described their feeling changes over the past 24 hours. During the 10-year mark, only 17 percent of the people have no physical health problems, and only 20 percent are satisfied with their physical strength. But those who always say they have negative feelings because of daily troubles are more likely to have the physical problems, the finding showed.

People can be likely to have bad feelings for a longer time for many reasons. For some people, worries or anger could drive it. Many others naturally have a more nervous feeling or are likely to think over and over again. But even if you are born to be negative, that can be changed.

"Yes, it's hard to 'let go'," Leger said. But people can develop that skill through practice, in which you train the mind to pay attention to the present, rather than worries about the past.

"Paying attention to the present, especially on things you are grateful for, has been shown to have several advantages, "Leger said.

Blood donation is a very important activity. It is an easy and direct way to contribute to social work and helps the community. It helps to save lives and helps those who are in need of blood because of the heavy loss of blood during operations or in accidents. You can always be proud of it after making valuable contributions to society.

Blood donation is not a big problem, but you need to keep a few points in mind.

Before donating blood, make sure that the ferrum(铁) level in your body is high enough and for that you should take a healthy diet. Do not go for blood donation on an empty stomach. After having a balanced diet, you will feel strong and comfortable to donate blood.

For required hemoglobin(血红蛋白) in your body, drink lots of juice and other drinks. Fruit juice, such as apple juice is very good for increasing the blood level in your body.

For a good blood flow in your body, drink at least 6-7 glasses of water every day. Don’t take alcohol(酒) a day before and after giving blood. Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood.

When you are going for blood donation, be relaxed, which helps keep the right blood pressure. During the blood donation activity, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Don’t join in some other activities.

You need to take care of yourself after donating blood. Take a rest for 15 minutes after completion of the donation. It helps you to feel relaxed. Make sure that you have meals after donating blood. Smoking should be avoided for one hour after the process. Don’t join in some activities right away, for example, driving.
