18 Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can"t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you
to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that
there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this:you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and
disease.
According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of
subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in
management position as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression (压抑 ) , slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation
(焦虑 ), and poor memory. ()ther symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waistand legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form
good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的 ) elements- vitamins and trace elements
(微量元素)-that are important
to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause
unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in
avoiding subhealth.
B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.
D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.

C. form good living habits

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, fat diet, vegetable diet. surrounded by the word "diet" everyw we look
and listen. We have so easily attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have
stopped thinking about what diet
products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically
(身体上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to
admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of
fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight
for the scale c秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that
we don-t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and
that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us. but also in the
physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead
of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are
potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of medicals. Once we realize this,
we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical
harm that comes from using them.
B. people have difficulties in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories
A. are over-consumed
B.lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy
a feeling of panic, or a stress, that makes people want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and
become calm again. "Stress"means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health
problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart.lt can increase the pulse rate,
make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸)
system. It can lead to asthma(气喘). It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of
important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach.lt can cause stomachaches and problems of
digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from
stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to
little problems. For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at l work may yell at a child for
dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental! illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and j hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing{ stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a l result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia(神经性厌食),are sometimes caused by stress and often made worse by
stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one"s mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem.1t attacks the body. 1t affects the emotions. Untreated, it
may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our
bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

A new weapon(武器) is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy
cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them
from the packet.
Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won"t agree when they see their
packets of cigarettes Iying on the table. The European Union announced that it had chosen 42 photos that
showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on
packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term
medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
"The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the
young," said David Byrne, an EU health official. " Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their
love for cigarettes. "
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packets of
cigarettes. The warnings included " smoking kills" and
"smoking can lead to a slow and painful death".
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and
warnings on cigarette packets since 2000. The country has recently seen a fallin the number of the single
