Early one morning, I wanted to swim in the river, which some women villagers were washing clothes. I find a good place for swimming and I was just about to jump into the river while there came a cry, “Help! Help!” I looked the direction of the cry and I found that a little boy had been fallen into the river. I rushed over without delay, jumped into the water and swam quick towards the boy.

It’s OK to have ups and downs in your feeling, but having low self-esteem isn’t OK. Feeling like you’re not important can make you sad and can keep you from trying new things.1. Having strong self-esteem is also a very big part of growing up; as you get older and face tough decisions-especially under peer pressure—the more self-esteem you have, the better.
If you think you might have low self-esteem, try talking to an adult you trust about it.2. In addition, here are a few things that you can try to promote your self-esteem:
Remember that your body is your own, no matter what shapes, size, or color it is. If you are worried about your weight or size, you can check with your doctor to make sure that things are OK.3. You should accept and love these things because they are part of you. Remind yourself of things about your body that are cool, like, “My legs are strong and I can skate really well.”4. The critical voice inside you will soon lose its power.
Praise yourself every day. Don’t just say, “I’m so great.” Be specific about something good about yourself, like, “I was a good friend to Jill today” or “I did better on that test than I thought I would.”5. Even if you’ve got room for improvement, realizing that you’re valuable and important helps your self-esteem shine.
A. Remember that there are things about yourself you can’t change.
B. It can keep you from making friends or hurt how to do at school.
C. It is important to know you’re worth a lot.
D. By focusing on the good things and your great qualities, you learn to love and accept yourself.
E. When you hear negative comments in your head, mentally tell yourself to stop.
F. Before you go to bed every night» list three things in your day that really made you happy.
G. He or she may be able to help you come up with some good ideas for finding your self-esteem.
Is there a way to turn back the aging process in people? For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink its water, you will not age.
Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears that the answer may be called the hypothalamus, which is part of your brain. It controls important body activities, including growth, the way we process food and so on.
Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural stem cells (干细胞) also influence how fast aging takes place.
Dongsheng Cai, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, was the leading researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings.
“Aging speed can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells.” He adds that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body. So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.
Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells.
The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. “When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells to the middle-aged mice, the mice aged slowly and they can also live longer.”
But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings.
“If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans can function better during later ages.” Cai and his team say their studies may have other benefits. They say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of age-related health issues.
