　　 Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is "yes", according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, those devoted to weight loss—exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food—lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus, 35% of them dropped into the "normal" category. This week, Dr. Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to what's achieved with Hypertension drugs.

The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.

It was my second day of 　16 and it was raining heavily. I couldn’t 　17 the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my 　18 . I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were 　19 home. It was the last time I felt 　20 to him.

After that, I realized that he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered by this 　21 . I was proud of it, for I felt 　22 and “grown up”. However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 　23 from him.

One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 　24 me scratching (乱涂) the paper quickly. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs 　25 . Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”

I followed his 　26 for the next two weeks, but 　27 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method—— the 　28 way. His advice didn’t improve my writing but our 　29 . As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 　30 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a 　31 . People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.

He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are 　32 to improve you anything for your future. You have to get 　33 to change the life for yourself.”

As a result of his 　34 , I have 　35 it through high school and through college.
