Have you heard of the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proves it wrong in 1954.
What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when people, who do not know how to swim, fall in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.
Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam (堵塞) if the operator typed too fast.
These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.
I used a snake in my workshops of children to learn how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy(黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

A new study by Penn State College of Medicine research team found that honey is a better and safer treatment for children than cough medicines.
Ian Paul, the study’s lead researcher, was motivated to test honey because treating coughs in children has recently become a sticky subject. Coughing is the body’s way of cleaning irritated (受刺激的) airways to help you breathe. But too much coughing can irritate your lungs and throat even more. It can also make it tough to get the sleep your body needs to heal. Hoping to ease the suffering of their children, parents often give them cough medicines.
But there have never been any good studies showing that they work. Cough and cold medicines may also cause serious side effects. Hundreds of kids die in the hospital each year after receiving too much cough medicine by mistake. Last October, the US Food and Drug Administration suggested that parents should not give cough medicines to children under 6.
In order to search for a different solution, Paul designed a study that involved 105 kids who were sick with coughs and other cold conditions. At bedtime, the kids took buckwheat(荞麦) honey, honey-flavored (蜜蜂味的) DM (one of the most common ingredients成分in cough medicine), or no treatment. Parents and kids in the no-treatment group knew they weren’t getting anything, but the other two groups weren’t told which treatment they were getting.
The surveys showed that kids who swallowed about 2 teaspoons of buckwheat
honey before bedtime coughed less and slept better than kids in other groups.
“When parents want something for their kids to take,” Paul says, “honey seems
like the best option.”
But what gives honey its healing power? Substances called antioxidants(抗氧化剂) may be part of the answer. All honey contains antioxidants that protect our cells from damage. Studies show that antioxidant levels in the body rise after someone swallows honey.
1.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Sweet solution to kids’ coughing
B. No cough medicines to children
C. Best treatment for your cold
D. Cough medicines don’t work
2.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that coughing ______.
A. can cure lung and throat diseases
B. is more harmful to children
C. sometimes does good to people
D. helps improve children’s die
3.During Paul’s experiment, the kids who received treatment __________.
A. seemed much worse than before
B. had no idea what they swallowed
C. knew they weren’t getting anything
D. coughed less and slept better
4. According to the passage, Paul’s experiment proved that ____.
A. honey may have real healing power
B. cough medicines may cause side effect
C. cough medicines don’t really work
D. buckwheat honey contain more antioxidants

For Americans, a mosquito bite is an itchy bother. But for many in Africa, a tiny bite can be deadly. One million people die each year of malaria, a disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Most of these people live in Africa, and are under age 5.
Malaria can be prevented and treated. However, many African nations don't have the funds to fight it. Nothing but Nets (NBN) hopes to change that. The United Nations Foundation created the campaign in 2006. The aim is to prevent malaria by covering sleeping areas with nets. Hanging bed nets treated with insecticide(杀虫剂) is the simplest way to stop mosquitoes from biting at night. The chemicals last four to five years. For $10, anyone can send a net to Africa and help save a life.
So far, NBN has raised $19 million and delivered 700,000 nets to seven countries. Families are taught how to use the nets. Kids also get vaccines (疫苗)and vitamins. "Women line up for miles to get the medicine for their kids," says NBN director Elizabeth McKee Gore. "They understand the importance."
So do kids in this country. "They get so excited thinking of ways to raise money," says NBN spokesperson and basketball star Ruth Riley.
NBN's biggest fund-raiser is Katherine Commale, 7. She's been spreading the information about bed nets for the past two years. To show how they work, she and her brother made a video. "We teach that bed nets can save lives," she said.
Katherine has raised $42,000 for NBN. "She just wants those who need a net to have one," says her mom, Lynda. "It's pretty simple to her." To find out how you can help, visit nothingbutnets.net.
1.We know from the passage that NBN is in fact _________.
A. a deadly disease B. an organization
C. a piece of equipment D. a game
2.The purpose of the passage is most probably ___________.
A. to list the sufferings of the African people
B. to introduce new ways to avoid mosquito bites
C. to call on people to offer their help to Africans
D. to tell people how to buy nets in Africa
3. By saying “So do kids in this country” in Paragraph 4,the author means that kids in this country also ___________.
A. know the importance of the bed nets
B. know how to protect themselves
C. lack nets to protect themselves
D. suffer from malaria
4. What do we know about Katherine from the passage?
A. She set up the website nothingbutnets.net.
B. She is the youngest money-raiser for NBN.
C. She raised money by making and selling videos.
D. She started working for NBN at the age of 5.

China Daily Oct. 11----The ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to make World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.
More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shang-based Wenhui Daily reported. The World Health Organization estimates that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid changes are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crimes, drug-taking and other dangerous behavior are expected to rise. Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of studies. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young. Children are said to be too “ spoiled” and “selfish” in a one-child family.
It’s reported schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well-being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month.” Students can be arranged to have 40-minute counseling sessions,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
1.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Efforts to Mark World Mental Health Day
B. Seriousness of Youngsters’ Mental Health Problems
C. How to Maintain Mental Well-being
D. Public Awareness on Youngsters’ Mental Disease Expected
2.The writer intends to tell us in the second paragraph that________
A. mental health problems of the young are becoming a popular problem.
B. only young people are suffering from mental health problems.
C. mental problems will become as serious as deaths and illness.
D. the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent.
3.Which could be the consequence if the problem is left untreated?
A. Inability to handle interpersonal relations. B. Unstable emotions
C. Drug-taking and other dangerous behavior D. Rapid social changes
4.Why is the Beijing No.105 Middle School mentioned in the passage?
A. To provide the students with counseling sessions.
B. To give an example showing how mental problems are dealt with.
C. To help ease the anxiety arising from the national college entrance exams
D. To call on other schools to learn from the No.105 Middle School
