What is a correct way to take medicine? Reading the question you might think it ridiculous．Actually, how to take medicine means a lot．Knowing it will not only help you preserve the full benefit of your valuable medicine, but also save yourself from potential side effects．For many reasons, no prescription or over-the-counter(非处方的)drug is 100 percent effective in all people or situations．To preserve the full benefit of your medicine, experts say to follow these key steps：
Ask doctors for help．Discuss drug effectiveness with a doctor before getting a prescription．The doctor can help you explain effectiveness data in product instructions．You can also consult a chemist when buying over-the-counter medications．
Store drugs properly．For instance, never store aspirin in the bathroom or the refrigerator．That^s because aspirin, like other drugs, can lose effectiveness in damp conditions．Most prescription drugs today come with special storage instructions．Also, some drugs, such as the antibiotic tetracycline, become ineffective when they are exposed to sunlight．
Do you know how long you should use a certain medicine? Our human body is very smart．It doesn't like any foreign chemical．That's why the body builds up tolerance to many drugs, such as some sleeping pills, and pain medications．If a drug that once was effective no longer seems to help you, consult a doctor before you want to increase the amount of it．
Cutting a sustained-release(药效持久的)pill can make a drug ineffective or even dangerous．That's because too large a dose of a medicine will be distributed quickly．Also avoid emptying capsules into drinks, say coca cola, milk, juice or food like porridge and soup．So take the pill in a correct way．
Do you know when to use medicine? You are advised to use medicine at the right time of the day．The instruction of the medicine Renova recommends applying the product at night．The active drug can be destroyed by sunlight．Also, applying two medicines to your skin at the same time might make them both ineffective．Taking drugs at recommended times, such as before meals, can increase absorption．
Some people may store medicine they bought years ago．In actual fact, over time, many drugs experience chemical changes．So pay attention to expiration(截止)dates listed on labels or ask your chemist a drug ^ s shelf life．Don ^ t hesitate to throw old pills if possible．
As you can see, taking medicine correctly is very important for many reasons, so make sure you follow these tips．

What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it. They should put communication first.

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown． They probably came about just to give children something to do．
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another． In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers． This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same． The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology． It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing． In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic （北极的） peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared． Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings． Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use． The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent （进步）． The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness． Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials．
1.Which is a major factor leading to the different variations of toys?
A． Scientific advances and technological progress
B． Different local customs and lifestyles of different peoples
C． Craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology
D． The artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials
2.Why do boys and girls play with different kinds of toys?
A． Because they are intended for different social roles and responsibilities．
B． Because boys like to invent and girls imitate．
C． Because boys play with their fathers while girls their mothers．
D． Because they will take up different jobs when they grow up．
3.One amazing aspect about the “universality of toys” is______．
A． They appeared all over the world almost at the same time in history．
B． They have not changed except in craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．
C． Having existed for thousands of years, toys are still found all over the world today．
D． They are a kind of art form, which has been promoted by inventiveness．
