1. Hard Work Is Good for Health(努力工作有利于健康）

    Scientists find that hardworking prestigious people live longer than average men and women.
    Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and solitude. Research shows that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do. Instead , the happiest are those who are busy. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writting or a doctor succesfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond works.
    From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

words:
prestigious  adj.  享有声望的，声望很高的
average  adj.  一般的，通常的，平均的
loneliness  n.  孤独，寂寞
solitude  n.  孤独
solitary  adj. 孤独的
fulfillment  n.  履行，实行
achievement  n.  成就，功绩
status  n.  身份，地位，情形，状况
beyond  prep.  在（到）…较远的一边，超过

译文：
    科学家们发现，努力工作的名人比一般人寿命长。
    为什么努力工作有利于健康呢？因为工作使人忙碌，远离寂寞和孤独。研究表明，如果无所事事，人们就会感到不开心、忧虑和孤独。相反，最愉快的人往往是那些忙于工作的人。此外，工作给人一种充实感和成就感。工作使人感受到自身的价值和社会地位。当作家完成作品、医生给病人成功地做完手术、老师看到学生成长，他们的喜悦无法形容。
    从以上我们可以得出结论：工作越多越幸福，也越健康。让我们努力工作，好好学习，过着幸福健康的生活。

5.Sleep and Your Life(睡眠与生活）

    If  you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school,
then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and
turning in bed until the early hours of the monrning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don't feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to
face  a new day.
    Dr.Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates
that stress and lack of sleep are directly related. Dr.Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep. If we can find a way to get a good night's sleep,"  he adds, "we can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us."
    So, what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which
people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hour is about the average
amount, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more
refreshed.

words:  
toss  v.  投，掷，摇动
eventually  adv.  最后，终于
refresh  v.  （使）精神振作，（使）精力恢复，更新
recent  adj.  新近的，近来的
article  n.  文章，论文
entitle  v.  给…题名
indicate  v.  指出，显示
vary  v.  变化，不同
average adj.  一般的，通常的，平均的

译文：
    如果你为某事担心，并处于工作或学习的重压吓，那么你很可能睡不好。忧虑使你睡不着，在床上翻来覆去，一直到凌晨终于入睡。当你醒来，你不会感到精力充沛，反而会疲惫不堪，无法面对新的一天。
    在最近一期报纸的一篇题为“压力与睡眠”的文章中，亨利·温克尔医生指出，压力与睡眠不足有直接的关系。温克尔医生说：“我们越是忧虑就越是睡得少。如果我们能找到办法来睡一晚好觉”，他补充说，“我们就会有足够的精力来对付我们忧虑的事情。”
    那么，什么是一夜好觉呢？研究表明，人们为了保持健康所需要的睡眠时间差异很大。7个小时是个平均数。睡得更长不但不会使你精神振作，反而使你觉得头晕脑胀。

10.Studying Abroad(留学)

    In recent years, there has appeared a great upsurge in studying abroad. Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Still more people
are making great efforts in applying for going abroad.
    Studying abroad, we will be able to see foreign lands, experience new things and
make new friends. We can act as mediators between people of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. We can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. We can enjoy the contact with foreign cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. We can see more clearly the strong and weak points of our own county by looking at her from outside. We have the opportunity to improve our foreign languages.
    However, it is sure that to study abroad you will have to spend a lot of time and
energy learning a foreign language. Language barrier is the most serious problem.
Most students have difficulty understanding their lessons in the first few months.
Financial difficulty is the second problem they are faced with. Most students have to
find part—time jobs in order to support themselves while studying. Additionally, you
will have to leave your family and friends for a long period of time, so sometimes you might feel lonely.

words:
upsurge  n.  高潮
scholar  n.  学者
mediator  n.  介体，中介
promote  v.  促进，发扬，提升，提拔
advanced  adj.  高级的，年老的，先进的
contact  n.  接触，联系
awareness  n.  知道
barrier  n.  （阻碍通道的）障碍物

译文：
    近年来，留学热潮高涨。成千上万的学者和学生们都去国外留学，还有更多的人正在力争留学机会。
    留学国外，我们可以去看看外国风光，体验新事物，结交新朋友；我们可以充当不同文化间人们交流的使者，以促进国际间相互了解；我们可以向外国学习更多的先进科学技术知识；我们可以接触到外国文化，以加强对自己国家文化的了解；我们可以从另一个侧面看到我们国家的长处和短处；我们有机会提高外语能力。
    然而，如果留学国外，你也需要花大量的时间和精力来学习外语，这是一个不争的事实。语言障碍是最严重的问题。很多学生到了国外后在开头几个月都很难听懂讲课。经济困难是他们面临的第二个问题。很多学生要找一份兼职工作来支持自己学习。除此以外，由于你得离开家人朋友很长一段时间，所有有时你会觉得很孤独。
