I wanted t set myself the writing challenge f citing sme f the many psitive things abut having a baby. It’s addressed t ne persn, but I hpe that thse wh find themselves at a similar crssrads get help frm it.
T my friend A,
All yu ever seem t hear abut parenthd is negative. I d nt feel this. Yu create a new life in that child, and with that baby, yu get a new life, t. When I became a mther, my wn mther’s embrace, and my father’s, nt t mentin my extended family’s, have kept me ging.
We are used t hearing abut hw mtherhd limits yur life, less s abut hw it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally abut human relatinships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becming a mther — and giving birth — has enhanced my feelings f unity with ther wmen. Parenting has als allwed me t experience childhd again. I have always wanted t give smene else a childhd. My wide-eyed little by is at the stage where he is simply in lve with the wrld, and that lve is thrillingly uncnditinal. It is a privilege t witness, and it makes me determined t maintain it fr him as much as I am able t, because his laugh is the best sund that I have ever heard.
A nte abut sleep: yu will be OK — yu’ve had enugh wild nights t knw yu can cpe. And yu can get yur bdy back, whatever that might mean t yu. As fr yur career, it’s nrmal t wrry. I speak nly fr myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time wrrying befrehand abut hw I wuld write. I have far less time, nw, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up t a nvel, eventually. There is s much untapped jy and lve there waiting fr yu, and I hpe I’ve given yu a small glimpse f sme f it t hld n t.

Fr decades, scientists thught f the brain as the mst valuable and cnsequently mst clsely guarded part f the bdy. Lcked safely behind the bld-brain barrier, it was bradly free f the harm f viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, abut 20 years ag, sme researchers began t wnder: is the brain really s separated frm the bdy? The answer, accrding t a grwing bdy f evidence, is n.
The list f brain cnditins that have been assciated with changes elsewhere in the bdy is lng and grwing. Changes in the makeup f the micrrganisms in the digestive system have been linked t disrders such as Parkinsn’s disease. There is als a thery that infectin during pregnancy culd lead t brain diseases in babies.
The effect is tw-way. There is a lengthening list f symptms nt typically viewed as disrders f the nervus system, but the brain plays a large part in them. Fr example, the develpment f a fever is influenced by a ppulatin f nerve cells that cntrl bdy temperature and appetite. Evidence is munting that cancers use nerves t grw and spread.
The intercnnectin between the brain and bdy has prmising implicatins fr ur ability t bth understand and treat illnesses. If sme brain disrders start utside the brain, then perhaps treatments fr them culd als reach in frm utside. Treatments that take effect thrugh the digestive system, the heart r ther rgans, wuld be much easier and less risky than thse that must crss the bld-brain barrier.
It als wrks in the ppsite directin. Study shws mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulatin t a brain area invlved in psitive emtin and mtivatin. Activatin f the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems t cause immune changes that cntribute t it. Wrking ut hw this happens culd help t destry cancers, enhance respnses t vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, fr centuries, have nt been cnsidered as being psychlgically driven.
12．What d the researchers fcus n abut the brain?
A．Its prtecting system.B．Its expsure t diseases.
C．Its cntrlling functin.D．Its cnnectin t the bdy.
13．Hw des the authr supprt his idea in paragraph 2?
A．By explaining a thery.B．By prviding examples.
C．By making cmparisns.D．By presenting cause and effect.
14．Which best describes treatments that d nt crss the bld-brain barrier?
A．Cheaper.B．Mre specific.
C．Safer.D．Mre direct.
15．What des the study suggest in the last paragraph?
A．Brain health depends n immune changes.
B．Brain stimulatin leads t negative emtins.
C．The brain can help enhance psychlgical health.
D．The brain may be key t treating physical diseases.
Fr many websites, there is tns f infrmatin that’s inaccurate, r just crazy. 16 With that in mind, here are fur ways t find reliable websites.
Lk fr established institutins (确立的机构). 17 Hwever, what yu want are sites assciated with trusted institutins that have been arund fr a while and have a prven track recrd f reliability. Such sites may include thse run by gvernment agencies, nnprfit rganizatins r universities.
Cnsult sites with expertise (专门知识). Yu wuldn’t g t the hspital t have yur car repaired. This is an bvius pint. 18 Fr example, if yu’re writing a stry n a flu utbreak, check ut medical websites like The Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin.
Avid cmmercial (商业的) sites. Sites run by cmpanies and businesses—their websites usually end with “.cm”—are ften trying t sell yu smething. And if they’re trying t sell yu smething, chances are whatever infrmatin they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) in favr f their prduct. 19 But be cautius (谨慎).
20 Respected websites ften link t each ther. Yu can find ut which ther websites link t the site yu’re researching by cnducting a link-specific Ggle search. If lts f sites are linking t yur site, and thse sites seem reliable, that’s a gd sign. Then it seems that yu dn’t need t wrry t much.
A．Check the links.
B．Enter the fllwing text int the search field.
C．Lk fr websites that specialize in what yu’re seeking.
D．If a website seems ld, it’s prbably best t keep distance frm it.
E．The Internet is full f websites that were started five minutes ag.
F．That’s nt t say cmmercial sites shuld be screened (屏蔽) entirely.
G．Fr inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range f prblems.

The prize may g t the fastest, but smetimes, the first ne t crss the finish line isn’t the nly winner. Nwhere was that mre true than at a recent 5K invitatinal (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana.
There were tw players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, wh hadn’t knwn each ther befre. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-ld student frm Western Bne High Schl, has been expecting t be a prfessinal sprtsman fr many years. Axel Aleman, wh is frm Sheridan High Schl, is a friendly and generus persn and he is always mre cncerned abut thers than himself. Axel nce said t his classmates, “When yu are standing at a crssrad, yu can chse the path f self-interest, r yu can g the extra mile fr smene in need. As a teen athlete, the chice is extremely clear.”
The game went very well at first. Hwever, with less than half a mile t g, Levi LaGrange slipped, twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rlling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt smething was wrng with my ankle.”
Levi stpped and signed t Axel t pass him. Generally, winning a match shuld be the missin fr a sprtsman, But at that mment, the race became a secndary cncern fr Axel. “I was able t see he was in a lt f pain,” Axel recalled. “As I gt clser t him, he narrwly fell dwn. I asked if he was all right. He said he felt like smething brken in his leg.”
Rather than running ahead, in an extrardinary act f true sprtsmen, Axel refused t leave Levi behind. “As sn as I saw him, I knew I had t d smething,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right thing t d. That mattered mre than the race. I tld him I wasn’t ging t leave. I wanted t help him finish the match.”
