According to a survey, for men and women aged 65 and over in China, only about 13 percent are living with their children. Many older people live in nursing homes or simply alone. It is rare these days to come across a family where an elderly parent is living with one of their adult children.

    This big shift towards the elderly living alone or in institutions has caused one of the greatest increases in unhappiness and loneliness the world has ever seen. Those elderly people living alone are three times as likely to feel lonely as others. They are also more likely to suffer declining physical and mental abilities. Consequently they are more likely to enter nursing homes.

    One of the most depressing figures is that 21 percent of residents in care homes are so depressed that they wish they were dead. Those of us who have visited people in residential homes will not find this figure so hard to believe, but it is a wake-up call to those children who tell themselves: “ Oh, Granny will be perfectly happy in a home.”

 If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart ofwhat really matters in your life.

Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?

Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.

     There is an English saying: "Laughter is the best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.

     Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.  It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and breathing. It also works several groups of muscle in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

     Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated pain for the longest time was the one that listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of natural chemical in the brain which decreases both stress and pain.

      As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It   (1)   me of how many people Iˈve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also canˈt   (2)   why people donˈt move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those   (3)   situations in which someone doesnˈt even   (4)   that the light is red, and just keeps going. That is why so many accidents happen! All these situations make me    (5)   about the purpose of traffic lights.

However, itˈs even more   (6)   to imagine letting people make their own   (7)   at crowded crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next?   (8)   I guess I do like the idea of a system to   (9)   traffic.

It occurs to me that my   (12)   have done much the same for me in   (13)   teaching me how to live. They have given me many   (14)   lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to live with   (15)   and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my   (16)   doesn’t go astray (误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there also have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to   (17)   school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as   (18)   as it can be. Just as Iˈm wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when Iˈm walking   (19)   the street, Iˈm wise to pay attention to the "life   (20)  " given to me by my parents.

       As the proverb says,＂no one knows the value of health until he loses it.＂In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.

It is clear that health is the foundation（基础）of one’s future success. If you become sick, it is scarcely pursue (从事) your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can do all out to overcome the obstacles (障碍) that lie ahead of you.

       Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain our health? First we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours. If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says, “Prevent is better than cure.” If pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick. Or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.

       In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are no more fortunate than those who are poor and healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component（组成部分）of your success.

     A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

    We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves loud is a healthy habit.

    This “self-talk” helps us encourage ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

    Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.

     Words have power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

       Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
