　　If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? But 　　1　　 It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造力)gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

　　　　2　　 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．

　　Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．　　3　　 Now this seed is unknowingly(未发觉地)used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

　　This is nothing but creativity．　　4　　 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

　　So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．　　5　　 Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．

B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

　　There are many people who are interested in knowing how to become a better person in life．Though there’re many people who can guide you to becoming a better person, you can become one only if you’re eager enough to bring about a change in yourself．

　　If you wish to learn to become a better person, then you should first of all learn to recognize your mistakes．Think of what are those things which you do in your day-to-day life and aren’t liked by other people around you．Then analyze(分析)them and try to avoid them as far as possible．However, it requires a lot of patience and courage to change yourself．

　　Then you should also apologize for your past mistakes．If you don’t apologize, then you’ll always be ridiculed(奚落)in the society for being a person who is badly-behaved．By apologizing to those whom you’ve hurt, you can hope to get a second chance from them to prove that you’re as good as the others．

　　Forgetting the past misbehavior and thinking about the present and the future is one of the best ways to become a better person．This is because it’s impossible for you to change the past．Start your life again and make sure to go on the path of honesty．You can keep a personal diary in which you can write the dos and don’ts for yourself．

　　Having a role model is also very important．A role model is someone you respect．You should study the thoughts and sayings of these great people and try to understand what they actually mean．Read informative books on these people and this will definitely change the way you think and look at the things．However, just reading about the great people won’t help you．You’ll have to practically carry out their thoughts to earn respect for yourself in the society．

　　So actually becoming a better person isn’t difficult．

　　What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 　　1　　．Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist．At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings．　　2　　．If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly．

　　Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

　　Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

　　1．Laceration(裂口)

　　The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．　　1　　 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,

　　2．Fingertips cut off

　　Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery(外科手术)to repair．　　2　　 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

　　3．Bleeding

　　　　3　　 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous(静脉的)bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial(动脉的)bleeding．　　4　　

　　Finally, always keep this in mind：even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．　　5　　 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip．

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G．The length is usually not as important as the depth．
