  In one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease.

  In a study of almost 3,000 men an 5,000 women depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary(心脏的)heart disease than those who weren’t depressed, While depressed women were just 12 percent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 percent more likely, In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure.

  The link works the other way around, too:While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.

  The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health.But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart.Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work.

  Researchers aren’t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist, One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves, They’re more likely to eat high–fat, high-calorie “comfort ”foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke, But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease, Recent studies, found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy O-3 fatty acids, People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones(荷尔蒙)These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries(动脉)and prevent the body’s natural healing mechanisms from working properly.

  A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on, This science is gradually soring out how the mind-body connection affects us, or defense against heart disease.

  Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year, Although available treatments can east symptoms(症状)in more than 80 percent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need.

C.

Dear Jones,

      You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and "don'ts" helpful.

       As a 1 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. 3 , get or borrow 4 ! Walk him several times a day!   Americans love dogs and usually stop 5 to anyone with dog. 6 ,try to eat in a cafeteria (自助餐厅) .

       People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9 .

       Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店) ! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers (顾客) . 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14 , and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16    :"Please", "Thank you ", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术) .     

       There are some things you 17 . Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you ?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 —especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 21 . Tell them they are losing 22 . Everyone   here wants to be 23 . Don't be late for appointments (约会) ! When someone says six o'clock, 24 be there by six. Americans respect 25 and expect everyone to be "on time".     

       Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

Cordially yours,

Socrates

It was 4 o’ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 31 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) 32 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 33 .

The doctor described the 34 , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 35 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 36 my son’s shirt tail(下摆) and shot from his waist to well over his head.

37 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and 38 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 39 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

After he 40 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 41 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(缩水) and wrinkling(起皱). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 42 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 43 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I 44 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his 45 and returned to school with his head held high——glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 46 , so he made the 47 to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe 48 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 49 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 50 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
