If you think you are sick, you are sick no matter what says. , if you believe in your doctor, and if he tells that you are going to feel better, you probably will. The of the mind on the body does exist and sometimes can be powerful. It exists whether one is of it or not.

Take the of Mrs. Green, for example. She was unable to get to sleep at night and was too tired during the day to do some simple things that she enjoy doing. She had headaches more often which her from reading or watching TV. The more she thought about her conditions, she felt. At last she went to her doctor, whom she had known for years. The doctor listened to her and gave her a very examination. Then he said to her, “ There is nothing wrong with you physically, but I accept the fact you don’t feel well. I’m going to give you some pills that should help. I want you to one after dinner and one half an hour you go to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me you feel.

Mrs. Green telephoned, “Doctor, I had the first night’s sleep in two months. What is in this pills ?” The doctor said, “It is an old formula(配方) I have for years. Just taking them for a week.” Turning to the nurse, he said, “It’s wonderful what a little baking soda(苏打) can do.”

As the saying goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves .A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about .These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water(虚拟水)”.

We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats .These products are shipped around the world.

For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310liters of the water—about 95%—is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4%goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.

According to Hoekstra’s new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.

In the United States most of the virtual water used comes from American sources .In China even less of the water associated with its products.

1.The example of a sugary soft drink in Paragraph 3 is given to show_________.

A. how drinks are shipped

D. how drinks are made

2.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?________

A. Kuwait and the Netherlands

B.China and the United Kingdom

C. America and the Netherlands

D. Israel and America

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Crops and Virtual Water

B. Water’s worldwide travels

C. Benefits of Virtual Water

D. Import and Export of Water

4.The passage is most probably a________.

A.science news report B. science fiction story

If you are sitting down listening to what I’m going to say, stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes, if you can. Do anything but sit.

If you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years.

Just the opposite, says Peter Katzmarzyk. He is a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States. He says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives. "We sit while we're eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we watch TV. Many of us sit for many hours at work. " But, he adds, that does not make sitting good for us. The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around.

Exercise is important. So is not sitting.

"We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23-and-a-half hours a day is also very important."

Mr. Katzmarzyk and his co-workers are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. This is a relatively new area of study—studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡) or television viewing and mortality.

Making uses of the few studies available to them, they found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.

New desk designs are helping

Change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A "standing desk" lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the "treadmill desk." A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now. Some companies may equip their employees with a "standing desk" or a "treadmill desk". Other companies may not buy one for everybody, but they'll have a bank of these desks where people can go for an hour a day and answer their emails or talk on the phone. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with such desks to keep children moving.

Mr. Katzmarzyk says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives. "As a university professor, you know, it is a very sedentary occupation. We're chained to a desk in terms of writing papers and doing research. We really try to limit the amount of time we spend doing that."

Suggestions for sitting less

If you work in office job or have a sedentary job, Mr. Katzmarzyk and his team suggest a few simple changes:

get up from your desk as often as you can take walks at lunch time walk to your colleagues’ offices and talk directly instead of emailing them All these activities may help you live longer.

B. it’s unnecessary to limit television time

C. emailing colleagues is better than a face-to-face talk

D. those taking exercises 30 minutes a day still can’t sit long

“I say, I’m pleased to see you,” said the little man standing by the letter-box.

“Oh, hello,” I said, remembering he was a new neighbor. “Simpson, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right.” He seemed quite pleased by my ready recognition.

“I wonder if you could lend me some money,” he continued. “My wife gave me a letter to post, and I’ve just noticed it isn’t stamped.”

“yes, they never are,” I said, sympathetically(同情地).

“It must go tonight—it really must! I’d get stamps out of the machine,” explained Simpson,” Only I find I have no small change about me.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I haven’t either,” I said.

“Oh, dear, dear,” he said.

“Yes, well,” I said, intending to move off. But he looked so unhappy standing there with the blue unstamped envelope that I really hadn’t the heart to desert him.

So I took him to my house and found some pennies and gave them to him, who, in the most business like way, made a note of the loan in his pocket-book, and left. But soon he turned up again.

“I’m sorry I am a stranger round here and —well, I’m rather lost…”

It took me several minutes to explain to him where the post office was. In the end I felt as lost as Simpson and had to accompany him to the post office, but, only to find the automatic stamp-machine was empty!

“Oh!” Simpson was so desperate that he dropped the letter on the ground and when he picked it up there was a large black spot on its face.

“Dear me,” he said, “My wife told me to post it tonight. I’d better post it, if you know what I mean.”

I did know. Or, at least, I knew Mrs Simpson.

Then I got a good idea, “Post the letter unstamped—let the other man pay double postage on it in the morning. ” And he had to agree.

Finishing off our job, I took him home.

“I’m so grateful to you, really,” he said when we reached his home. “That letter—it’s only an invitation to dinner to Mr… Dear me!”

“Why, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing. Just something I’ve remembered.”

“What?”

But he didn’t tell me. He just opened his eyes and his mouth at me like a wounded gold- fish, murmured(低声说话)a “Good-night”, and went inside.

All the way home I was wondering what it was that he had remembered.

But I stopped wondering the next morning, when I had to pay the postman double postage for a blue envelope with a large black spot on its face.

1.Simpson was very happy when the writer greeted him because ____.

A. the consequence would be very severe if Simpson didn’t obey his wife

B. wives never gave their husbands money to post a letter

D. he was as foolish as Simpson

3.What did Simpson suddenly remember when they got his home?

A. His wife was waiting for him to return.

B. The letter was only an invitation to dinner.

C. The letter was just addressed to the writer.
