“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then
he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We
have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you?
Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that
there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline
state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45
percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even
higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around
exam-weeks.
Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑), slow reactions,
insomnia(失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of
breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical
experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and
take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat
more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements —
vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.
Nutrition(营养) experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal
because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统). They also
say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
45. According to this passage, which of the following is right?
A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.
B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy
some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in
