No One Dares to Help

　　On a recent Sunday, I was buying groceries in a supermarket 　　1　　 I heard the sound of a car accident．It was close but not very close, so I continued shopping．As I took a right turn on Munadhama Street, I saw a man 　　2　　(lie)on the ground in a small pool of blood．He wasn’t dead．

　　　　3　　 idea of stopping to help or to take him to a hospital crossed my mind, but I didn’t dare．Cars passed without stopping．Pedestrians and shop owners kept doing 　　4　　 they were doing, pretending nothing 　　5　　(happen)．

　　I was still looking at the injured man and blaming myself 　　6　　 not stopping to help．　　7　　 shoppers peered at him from a distance, sorrowful and sympathetic, but did nothing．

　　I was on to another grocery store, staying for about five minutes while shopping for tomatoes, onions and other vegetables．During that time, the man managed to sit 　　8　　 and waved to passing cars．

　　No one stopped．No one did 　　9　　．No one lifted a finger．

　　The injured died on the street．The only reaction came from a woman 　　10　　 was in the grocery store．In a low voice, she said，” My God, bless his soul．”

　　An offer of aid could have saved the man’s life．

　　　　1　　．She described all the things she had to do －one was to make her bed－from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work．I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks．She was shocked, probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest．　　2　　．

　　Two weeks later she went into my office beaming．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years－and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what?” she said．”I don't dry my dishes anymore, either．”

　　　　3　　．One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect．This story shows an important principle about managing time：No one can do it all．Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs．The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last．They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves．　　4　　．

　　So what is the solution?There's an easy way．Decide what you want in your life, and put that first．On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．　　5　　．The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers．Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos．

　　Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to fid out：Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert．With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists for advice．

　　Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis．About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second．“Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s．There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,”the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said．“We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem．”

　　Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp．The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth．Results come back in three days．People can also log on a website to get further information．

　　Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka．Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs ＄37 to join and ＄21 per month．Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them．“Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions,” Kimura said．“Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results．”

　　As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern．The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity．With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help．

　　Whether you're new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself．Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area．

　　Sometimes, you can remedy(补救)problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it's getting too loud, they shouldn't hesitate to let you know．

　　Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent(相邻的)living spaces．and try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls．

　　Keep your pet dog on a leash(皮带)if it has a habit of running rampant on your neighbors’ lawns, especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own, and ensure to clean up after it．

　　In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the difference among people．Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special．The educational systems in these countries show these values．Students don't memorize information．Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves．There is often discussion in the classroom．At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions．

　　In most Asian societies, by contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture．Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism．Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments．In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal．The teacher lectures, and the students listen．There is not much discussion．Instead, the students recite rules of information that they have memorized．

　　There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education．For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that there much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school．They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do．The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control．There is, however, a disadvantage．Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized．

　　The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves．The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas．There is, however, a disadvantage．When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have．

　　Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say, skip it all．None of these products is likely to make you any healthier．Below, we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water．　　1　　 Experts say there’s an easy way to judge．If you are not thirsty, your fluid intake is likely “just right”

　　Myth No 1：Drink eight glasses each day．

　　Scientists say there’s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day．　　2　　 “Nobody really knows,” says Dr．Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University．of Pennsylvania．

　　Myth No．2：Lots of water equals healthier skin．

　　The body is already 60 percent water．　　3　　 Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect．“It’s such a tiny part of what’s in the body,” says Goldfarb．“ It’s very unlikely that one’s getting any benefit．”

　　Myth No．3：　　4　　

　　A more accurate statement may be：Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters．“Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories,” says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh．“So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction．” But water is not magical, she adds．“Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too．”

　　Myth No．4：It’s easy to get dehydrated(脱水的)during a workout．

　　Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight．　　5　　 “It’s also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water,” says Goldfarb．“But for a walk in the park, no water bottle is necessary．”

A．So where does the standard advice come from?

B．But it’s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant．

C．So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water．

D．Drinking extra water leads to weight loss．

E．Drink as much water as you can．

F．So, if you take a 200-pound man, he’s 120 pounds of water．

G．But first, how do you know if you’re drinking enough water?

根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。(注意：答案E涂AB，F涂BC)

1．________

People have expressed themselves through the movements, steps, and rhythms of dance since the beginning of time．They have prayed and celebrated their victories through dance．People have mourned their dead and healed their sick through dance, the language of the body．

2．________

Today there are many kinds of dancing．For example, there is folk dancing, ballet dancing, and modern dancing．Modern dance, which began in the early 1900s, is a very expressionistic dance．Modern dancers follow no set pattern．Rather, they create their own movements to match the feeling they are trying to express．But modern dance means more than just self-expression．

3．________

Martha Graham is one of the world’s greatest modern dancers．As a young dancer, she studied with some of the founders of the modern dance movement．Influenced by many different kinds of dancing, Martha Graham developed her own personal dance style．She later formed her own dance company and school in the New York City．The following are some of her feelings about her art．

4．_________

The modern dancer’s costume is an important part of his or her dance．There is always some reason why a dance costume should be a certain color or an outfit cut in a certain way．The reason comes out of the dance itself．Unlike a ballet costume, a modern dance costume is left of the dancers’ art except the pictures and the memories．

5．_________

Dances come from something deep within a person．That something cannot be expressed with words--- it must be told through movement．Because dance expresses emotions, it affects the mind and the body．Dance should not be taken apart interpreted-dance must be experienced．
