You may get a cold sometimes. It often starts with a sore throat. You sneeze (打喷嚏) and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough later. It’s not a serious illness, but you may feel quite bad.
 There isn’t a cure (治愈方法) for the cold, but you can take some medicine to make you feel better. For example, you can take aspirin (阿司匹林) to get rid of (摆脱) your headache. It is good to rest and drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me, “With the right medicine, the cold will last for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on for a week!”
Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel better. For example, the juice of lemons (柠檬) makes a sore throat better. Now, scientists find some parts of plants can make some medicine. Because of these medicines, people now live longer than their grandparents.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值)。 It was still worth ¥ l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crum-pled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn‘t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don‘t ever forget it!
