  Lill was a young French Canadisn girl who grew up in the farming community.At the age of 16, her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income.In 1922, with limited education and skills, the future didn't look bright for Lill.Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible, but she didn't have the confidence to ask for a job.

  One day, Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door.She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager.In her boken English, Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position.Margaret decided to give her a chance.

  Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Lill, let's see how good you really are.” She directed Lill to type a single letter, and then left.Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was 11∶40 a.m.Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon.She thought she should at least attempt the letter.

  On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes.She pulled the paper out and threw it away.The clock now read 11∶45.“At noon,” she said to herself “I'll move out with the erowd, and they will never see me again.”

  On her second attempt, things didn't get any better.Again she started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though.She looked at the clock:11∶55 – five minutes to freedom.

  Just then, Margaret walked in.She came directly over to Lill, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girl's shoulder.She read the letter and paused.Then she said, “Lill, you’re doing good work!”

  Lill was surprised.She looked at the letter, then up at Maragaret.With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow.She thought, “Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good, I think I'll stay!”

  Lill did stat at Carhartt Overall Company…for 51 years, through two world was and 11 presidents-all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of self-conudence when she knocked on the door.

  Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.

    Then, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康).

    Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.

    According to the investigation(调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45%of sub-healthy people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam week.

    Symptoms(征兆) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia(失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

    The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.

    As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements(营养元素)---vitamins and trace elements—that are important to the body.

Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.
