1. Depression is a real illness.
Sadness is something we all experience. It is a normal reaction to difficult times in life and usually passes with a little time. When a person has depression, however, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning. Doctors call this condition “depressive disorder.” It is a real illness. Many factors may play a role in depression.
Causes of Depression
(1) Genetics, brain biology and chemistry
(2) Life events such as trauma, loss of a loved one
(3) A difficult relationship
(4) Early childhood experience
(5) Chronic illness, drug and alcohol abuse
(6) Any stressful situation
2. Depression affects people in different ways.
Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience only a few symptoms; others have many. The seriousness and frequency of symptoms, and how long they last, vary depending on the individual and the stage of the illness.

Dealing With Depression
Reach out and stay connected: Make real-life communication a priority! Spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative. Let them help you.
Try to be active and exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. This does not have to be all at once. A ten-minute walk can improve your mood for two hours.
Eat a healthy and mood-boosting diet: Reduce foods that contain caffeine, alcohol, trans fats, and foods with high levels of chemical preservatives as well as sugars.
Get a daily dose of sunlight: Sunlight can help improve your mood. Whenever possible, get outside during daylight hours and expose yourself to the sun.
Challenge negative thinking: Nothing is as bad as it seems at first. Try to move your focus away from concentrating on what is bad in your life.
Find professional help: If none of the above tips help, do not wait for the symptoms to disappear. Seek professional help.
4. You are not alone.
In addition to your treatment, you could also join a support group. At the meetings, people share experiences, feelings, information, and coping strategies for living with depression.

22、 Unit the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. 【1】
If you hit another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response. 【2】 Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.
【3】 Some researchers argue lobsters (龙虾) are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous situations. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness. In result, today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods. 【4】 To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods.
Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes (电击) a lobster. 【5】 The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.
A．But huge disagreement exists.
B．The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.
C．It beats the former method by saving chefs’ effort in cleaning the creature.
D．It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.
E．People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.
F．Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor (味道) of the meat.
G．Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method.

24、Every May, the capital of Canada,Ottawa will host the world’s largest tulip (郁金香) festival, flowers of amazing colors attracting more than 500,000 tourists to come and see. And in the back of this colorful festival is a moving story about friendship and peace.
During World War II, the Dutch royal family came to Canada to seek asylum. In early 1943, Princess Juliana of nine-month pregnancy was about to give birth, which posed a problem to both Canada and Netherlands.According to Canadian law, all babies born in Canada will automatically become Canadian citizens;and according to the Dutch royal succession law, prince or princess must be born on Netherlands soil in order to be recognized as a royal member. Because of this situation, the Canadian government passed a special bill.They placed the sovereignty (主权) of a maternity ward (妇产科病房) in Ottawa Civic Hospital under the Government of the Netherlands. In January19, 1943, Princess Juliana gave birth to her third daughter Margaret on“Dutch land“.
In May 1945, with the help of the Canadian Forces, Netherlands gained its victory and liberation, and the royal family returned to their homeland after several years of separation. That fall, the Dutch government presented one hundred thousand tulip bulbs to Canada to express their respect and gratitude. The following year, Princess Juliana presented twenty thousand tulip bulbs again in her own name, and requested them to be planted on the land of Ottawa Civic Hospital. And since then, Ottawa, the Canadian capital, have received thousands of tulip bulbs from the Netherlands royal family every year. To acknowledge this kindness, the first Ottawa Tulip Festival was held in 1953. And in 2002, Princess Margaret, who was born in the“Dutch delivery room”, returned to Ottawa to attend the 50th Tulip Festival.
This year’s Canadian Tulip Festival will last for 12 days (May 12 to 23). There will be over one million tulips of different colors and species blooming to their most beautiful hues (色调色彩). The Commissioner’s Park along the Dawes Lake and the Rideau Canal is traditionally the best viewing place. This year, the newly added Aberdeen Tulip Pavilion provides people with the opportunity to view the tulips indoors,so that people can enjoy this beautiful annual festival, rain or shine.
