Feeling left out?

  A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around.Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

  It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

  Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣賞)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with. act friendly, and say “Hi,can l play, too?” or just join in.

  If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

  You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!

Reading comprehension.

  Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipments there show that there is nothing wrong.

  Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth(亞健康).

  Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border line(不明確)state between health and disease. According to an investigation, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are mid-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.

  Symptoms(癥狀)include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia(失眠), agitation(焦慮), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

  The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate(交替)work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.

  As for meals people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional 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 digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

(1) According to this passage, which of the following is right?

[  ]

  “Feeling of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams,”Kaplan says.“It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today, in your present life.”She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from cutting yourself off from you aim.
