“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?

The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.

Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.

These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.

There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.

A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interesting and useful discovery :You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings．For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad．Since you haven’t changed the content of the memory, you haven’t lost any information．You have simply made it less painful．
When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorful and the money will give you even more intense good feelings．You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider , deeper, or you can bring the images closer．Changes like these will make you feel different--- even when you leave the content of the picture the same．
These are general guidelies （指导方针）．You’ll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image．For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense．And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense --- for example, a romantic memory．
What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself．
For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself , try changing the tone of voice you use when you spread to yourself．Some people order themselves about ．The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding．Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: It can make you want to rebel．Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated ．When you tell yourself, “I can do it,” fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and back it up with inspiring music．The possibilities are in fact endless．
The important thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has an impact , and you have quite a bit of control over that coding．You can change it deliberately．When you do , it will change your feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world around you．．
1．Which is the best title of the passage?
A．You Can Change the World Around You
B．Be Merry
C．You Can Change People’s Attitude towards You
D．Talk to Yourself in a Friendly Way
2．The underlined word  “deliberately “ can be replaced by ___
A．by change          B．on purpose          C．difficultly          D．wiser
3．We can infer that if we make a sad mental picture bigger and brighter, we can become _____
A．happier      B．sadder             C．calmer            D．wiser．
4．What does the underlined sentence “Some people order themselves around” suggest?
A．Some people order a lot of food．
B．Some people order others to follow their instructions
C．Some people are very hard on themselves
D．Some people are very strict with themselves．

I'm a middle school student name Li Ming．I'm writing to tell you something． Recently I have noticed many of my classmates often go to the cyber cafe near our school．I went there too in the other day．I was surprising to see many students playing computer games, watching films or chat．Some students are even talking about love affairs online．On my opinion, the cyber cafe should be a place which we can find much useful informations．The Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for games．The Internet is good if we make good use of them．Otherwise, it will do us great harm．So the local government should take measures to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively．
