16．Each time I see a balloon，my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl．It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died．I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven．"Yes，honey．Of course．"she said．
"Can we write him a letter？"
She paused，the longest pause of my short life，and answered，"Yes．"
My heart jumped．"How？Does the mailman go there？"I asked．
"No，but I have an idea．"Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon．I asked her what it was for．
"Just wait，honey．You'll see．"Mom told me to write my letter．Eagerly，I got my favorite pen，and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink．I wrote about my day，what I learned at school，how Mom was doing，and even about what happened in a story I had read．For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive．I gave the letter to Mom．She read it over，and a smile crossed her face．
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string．We went out-side and she gave me the balloon．It was still raining．
"Okay，on the count of three，let go．One，two，three．"
The balloon，carrying my letter，darted upward against the rain．We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds．
Later I realized，like the balloon，that Dad had never let his sickness get him down．He was strong．No matter what he suffered，he'd persevere，dart up，and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body．He rose into sky and became something beautiful．I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on．I prayed to be a balloon．

8．If you eat the right food and exercise regularly，you can feel better，look better and have more exercise．

5．Almost everyone is afraid of something---snakes，heights，public speaking and so on．
It is normal and can even be helpful to experience fear sometimes．In dangerous situations，fear can keep our bodies alert （警醒的） so that we can act quickly to protect ourselves．
But for some people，fear develops into a"phobia"，which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something．For example，the majority of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building．But people with height phobia may have trouble breathing，feel dizzy or turn down a great job just because the company is on the 20th floor．
Phobias can prevent you from living a normal life．"People with spider phobia would stay out of their home or dormitory room for days if they thought a spider was present，"Katherina Hauner，a researcher at Northwestern University，US，told ABC news．This is why scientists have been trying to find a cure for this disease．
Since fear comes from experience---from what we are told，what we see others experience and what happens to us---some scientists think if they can"rewrite"these unpleasant memories，they might be able to help people overcome their phobias．
In a study by Hauner and other scientists，participants with spider phobia were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush．Seeing that it was not actually dangerous，they then tried touching it while wearing a glove．Finally，they could hold it with their hands．
Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful．Back in 2010，researchers at the University of Hiroshima，Japan，injected （注射） a special medicine into a fish---who was afraid of light---to turn off the fear center in its brain．From then on，the fish no longer feared light．
While the search for solutions to phobias is making great progress，it's an open question whether getting rid of fear is good．Some people want to use these methods to make soldiers fight harder in wars by taking away their sense of fear．Dave Smithson of the charity Anxiety UK thinks that's a bad idea．"It's fear that prevents us from doing crazy things，"he says．"There's a name for people who don't have fear of consequences：psychopaths （精神变态者）．
