Everyone has an experience they would rather forget. Some are embarrassing, some are moving, and some teach us a lesson. Here is a story of mine.

Last Sunday I went fishing. After setting up my fishing rod(钓鱼竿) with bait(钓鱼的饵). I sat down on the bank of the lake. But two hours later, I didn’t catch any fish. I got very angry and began to pack up my stuff, preparing to go back home.

   Just then, I saw an old man sitting near me. To my surprise, his basket was full of fish, so I went over to him, wanting to know why. “Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours,” he answered. “Four hours?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “Don’t consider fishing a tiring sport. Just enjoy it.” Suddenly, I understand what he said. I must learn to be patient. Then I sat there and waited for fish patiently. I felt a fish touch the bait, but I didn’t move and waited for the right moment to reel it in(卷收钓鱼线).At last, I caught it. This made me very happy. In the following six hours, I caught over 10 fish.

   On my way home, I thought what had happened on the bank. I gradually realized that the secret of success was patience.

If you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re a survivor. According to statistics,you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.

  There're many reasons for this--typically,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

  “Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta. This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases strike.  According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70%of men in the same age group.

  “A lot of men think they’re unbeatable,”Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, if it could happen to him …”

  Then there’s the ostrich(鸵鸟)approach. “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

  “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be found by preventive examinations.

  “Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the final cost is far greater,it’s called death.”
