Years ago, as a young mom with two small children, I struggled to keep up with the demands of a busy life. One day, I woke up feeling so tired that I knew something had to change!
A friend gave me some Royal Jelly—an amazing substance(物质)from the beehive(蜂房). I was doubtful, but desperate…so I tried it! In time, I began to experience renewed energy and vitality(活力)like never before! Now, over two decades later, I travel all round the country, sharing my life-changing experience. I’m grateful for the energy to keep up and love to share this wonderful discovery with others.
Blanca on Dec. 25, 2010 7:02 PM
Ten years ago, when I was 73, my mind wanted to be busy and useful, but my body didn’t. I became tired and lethargic(无精打采的). That’s when my daughter Madeline tried to persuade me to try her special Royal Jelly. It made such a dramatic(巨大的)difference in her life, so she was sure it could help me too! Hesitating for 2 days, I gave in. She was right! I no longer felt worn out. I had a new, youthful zest(热情)for life and I’ve been OK — thanks to Royal Jelly!
Lori on Dec. 25, 2010 10:27 PM
When my mom Madeline was introduced to Royal Jelly, it affected my life, too! Mom gave me some of her fantastic Royal Jelly. Boy, things did turn around! I had more energy and stamina(耐力)and was finally able to keep up with high school and, eventually, college activities. Today, I’m a busy mom in my mid-thirties with two active boys and a new business! I have enough energy to do it all! I’m glad I took my Mom’s advice.

1. When we meet with something we're not familiar with or something frightening, our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown. Dr. Kerr says. "For some people, choosing to be scared can be fun. ”
What good is fear?
2. It tells a person to hide, run away, or defend oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they are ready when they are needed. Stress chemicals can make a person more alert.
Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what's unsafe, their brains store those memories. Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangers. "We don't want to be fearless; Dr. Kerr says. “3.!”
Too much can be harmful
Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We’re born with the ability to feel fear, but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned.
"Being afraid doesn't mean you’re weak," Dr. Kerr says. A long-lasting fear can mean you\e had a bad experience, and your brain doesn't want you to have it again. 4. Other people may have no special fear of dogs but may be afraid of other
things, such as heights, snakes, or spiders.
How to feel less afraid
Many people have beat their own fears. Here is one method: Instead of listening to their imagination, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. 5..
Dr. Kerr grew up on a farm. As a seven-year-old, she was scared of black bears in the woods. Later, she read about them. " Understanding the facts gave me a sense of confidence, she says. "I knew for sure what to do if I ever met with a bear and how to protect myself."
A. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid
B. Being scared is not always a bad thing
C. Fear is a tool that brain uses to keep the body safe
D. That is why our brain works faster in time of danger
E. It is good to have a healthy sense of what's dangerous
F. Some people are scared to death by his own shadow at night
G. If a dog bit someone, that person might feel afraid of all dogs

A report says older adults who test their minds with increasingly difficult projects have better mental ability than those who do less demanding activities.
To keep our brains sharp as we age, we are often told to keep our minds active. As the old saying goes, “Use it or lose it.” But, there is very little scientific evidence to support than.
Denise Park is head of the university’s Center for ? Vital Longevity. She designed a study in which she and her tern placed 221 healthy aging and older adults into one of three groups.
“We asked people to learn new things, like quilting or photography. We asked other people to just do fun things like being in a social group function but were not likely to have a very large effect.”
The subjects took part in their assigned activities for 15 hours a week over three months. At the end of that time, the researchers found that the adults who learned new skills, such as digital photography, showed the greatest improvements on memory tests.
No improvements were seen in the results of those in the social group that did activities together like going on field trips. There were also no improvements among the third group that listened to classical music or did crossword puzzles.
Denise Park believes one reason for improved memory in the active learning group is that its members were being pushed to learn new skills. The other groups took part in what she call receptive activities. Learning new skills may not cure age-related mental decline. But, Ms. Park thinks being mentally active slows down the process.
Denise Park says the latest information shows that the improvements lasted for at least a year. She and her team plan to do longer follow-up studies with all three groups. She also is interested in learning whether taking part in demanding mental activities delays the development of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
1.What may the social group be asked to do?
A. Learn to take photos.
B. Listen to music at home.
C. Go hiking together.
D. Do the dishes.
2.What did Denise Park and her team find?
A. Doing more exercise can help slow down our age-related mental decline.
B. Having a relaxing life is beneficial to keeping our minds sharp.
C. Keeping our minds active is associated with our health.
D. Learning new skills may help to keep our minds active.
3.If you want to keep your brain sharp you could_______.
A. go swimming with your friends.
B. play chess with your family.
C. learn how to repair the computer.
D. do crossword puzzles online
4.The text is likely to be selected from a book of______.
A. medicine B. education
C. aging D. science

Teenagers are often a difficult group.With all those hormones(荷尔蒙)flooding in their bodies,they can be moody,unpredictable,and tend to make uncertain choices.But however confusing their teenage years are,kids can still be generally happy,depending on their lifestyle choices.According to a new research by British scientists,teens who don't smoke,drink only moderately(适度地) or not at all,and who don't eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens.
The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings.For example,kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank.And teens who smoked were five times less likely to rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who didn't smoke.The same goes for diet and physical activities.The more fruits and vegetables kids eat,and the more hours they spend playing sports,the happier they are.
Now,of course this doesn't mean that not smoking or drinking,and playing sports can guarantee happiness.It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking.And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking,smoking and eating junk food.
Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression. Future studies may support the idea that other healthy behaviors,including refraining(克制)from smoking,drinking,and eating too much junk food,can avoid sadness and increase happiness,too.
1.The author develops the second paragraph mainly by________.
A.making comparisons B.providing statistics
C.offering examples D.analyzing causes
2.What can we learn from the text?
A.Not smoking or drinking guarantees happiness.
B.Teens with flooding hormones cannot be happy.
C.Playing sports can decrease teens' unhappiness.
D.Unhappiness can certainly lead to smoking and drinking.
3.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Ways to treat anxiety and depression
B.Exercise and teenagers' health
C.Teenagers shouldn't drink or smoke
D.Teenagers' lifestyle and their happiness

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill.1.Fortunately, with a little extra effort, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it'll become second nature.
2.The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care about the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away? That means they don't want your communication to be any more personal than it already is.3.And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.
It is worth noting that personal space is culturally different; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another.
Check their arms.4.Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is slightly reserved, nervous or embarrassed about their appearance and trying to cover it, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(双手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.5.
A. If they don't move further away, then they are willing to listen and accept.
B. How to read body language needs to be learned.
C. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us can’t at all.
D. If their hands are closed, they may be angry, or nervous.
E. People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence.
F. Pay attention to how close someone is to you.
G. Some people tend not to move further away.

Workers are returning to their careers, or starting new ones after age 65.
More than ever, work is where many of us get our sense of purpose. That doesn’t end at age 65. After being retired for only three months, Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years. She is now working part-time in a position created just for her. “It’s perfect,” she told The New York Times. “I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average life span for those who reach age 64 now getting all the way to 84 years old, those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.
Job sites connected toward part-timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work. Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a clerk for large banks at age 63. He’d thought about retiring then. “But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career,” he said.
The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on, so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work. And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use, they may well have more flexibility than mid-career people. Two-thirds of retirees who’d come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed. Legal work and community service were popular choices, as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.
Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea, but it can cause issues for retirees, including effects when they claim Social Security (申请社会保障) benefits early.
1.How does Sue Ellen King like her work?
A.Interesting. B.Satisfying.
C.Boring. D.Encouraging.
2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A.Giving an example of successful returning to work after retirement.
B.Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job.
C.What is Sue Ellen King’s work.
D.Giving an example of working full-time in a university.
3.What was the main reason for Fred to have a part-time job?
A.He was out of work. B.He could help large banks.
C.He had personal crisis. D.He liked continuing working.
4.Why do the retired like meaningful jobs?
A.These jobs have more flexibility.
B.These jobs have lots of potential.
C.They don’t care much for salary.
D.They can’t do very hard jobs.
