In winter,when the sun hides behind the clouds,everyone feels a bit low. You may be tired and find you want to sleep all the time. What you may not know is:you are suffering from (患有) SAD(季節(jié)性抑郁癥).
But don't worry—it's normal. Colder temperatures and fewer hours of daylight can steal your energy and put you in a bad mood.
Read on to find out what SAD is and what you can do to help yourself or those around you.
These days,Linda,a US teenager spends most of her holidays sleeping instead of doing sports outside. She has also had trouble concentrating(集中精力) on her homework. When her mother asks her what's wrong,Linda doesn't know what to tell her. Linda may not realize it yet,but she's suffering from SAD. It causes people to sleep,eat sweet food and get sad or angry for no reason.
About 15 percent of American people now suffer from SAD in winter according to the US Department of Health. The US government has taken measures to help people beat it. Local communities encourage people to take part in activities such as exercise,dance or art. And they advise people not to eat too much sweet food.
Like in the US,cold northern European countries such as Finland,Iceland and Russia see a large number of people suffer from SAD every year. So,the sunlamp is widely used in these countries. It's an electric lamp which is just like a “l(fā)ittle sun” that gives off light to make people think the sun is shining and feel better.
1.Colder ________ and less ________ are the main causes of SAD.
2.Linda is feeling ________ and doesn't ________ doing sports because she's suffering from SAD.
3. people suffer from SAD in northern European countries.

(A)
We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others.
Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.
Spencer Johnson’s story Who Moved My Cheese? Shows changes exist in (存在于) our life. Life changes and so we do. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail.
Just look at the cycle (循環(huán)) of the seasons. Trees bud (發(fā)芽) in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.
Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.
We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(靈活的). We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.

The marathon(馬拉松) in my town usually takes place in hot weather. My job was to follow the runners to help those who needed medical help. “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug.
As it began, the front runners started to disappear(消失). Then I noticed a woman in blue running shorts and a white T-shirt. “ Doug, look!” We knew we were watching our “l(fā)ast runner”. Her feet turned in , yet her left knee turned out. Her legs were so crippled(畸形的) that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk. How could she run a marathon?
We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her. Then we would slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. When the finishing line came into sight, we found the cheering people had all gone home. She slowly crossed through the line and lifted her hands, full of happiness.
I do not know the woman’s name, but since that day she has become a part of my life. For her, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult and want to say “I just can’t do it”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

A.In spring. | B.In summer. | C.In autumn. | D.In winter. |
A.head | B.back | C.legs | D.a(chǎn)rms |
A.To win a good prize |
B.To beat the other runners |
C.To make friends with others |
D.To finish what she had decided to do |
