Aspirin (阿司匹林) is one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man, and the most popular medicine in the world today. It is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.

Aspirin is truly the 20th century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild,

are largely unrecognized among users.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.

A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body?s reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pain and complex reactions that cause fever.

Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin.

A well-balanced life is necessary to live in today?s world. Without a well-balanced life a person can neither function properly nor develop into a well-rounded individual. Without some sort of balance in life people tend to be unfulfilled and unhappy.

I?ve experienced great stress in my study and work. And I?ve tried every means to adjust myself and relieve my stress. Finally I found a way out in my leisure time. Leisure time is very important and necessary for me. Without it I am sure I would go insane. I spent most of my extra time reading, listening to music, talking to my real life friends, or talking on the Internet with people I meet. I really enjoy going out into a quiet place and reading poetry or books by Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. If I did not make time for all of this I would not be able to handle everything else in life. Along with reading to relax, listening to music is very important to me. If I feel sad, I listen to slow songs, while if I am happy I like listening to fast songs. Music is the universal language and it can express different feeling. It can relate to the soul, or in fact I think it is the soul of feeling.

My real life friends and my Internet friends are also part of my leisure and social time. Friends have always been important to me. They are the backbone in everything I do. The good friends that I have are always there for me in every situation I am in. Without them I would not have led a healthy, balanced life. Not so long ago I went through a short time of depression. I feel behind in all my work and stopped talking to my friends. After a week of acting this way, one of my good friends pulled me aside and invited me to go for a walk with her. We talked about what was going on in my life and she helped me to figure out what I wanted to do. I do not know what would have happened if she had not been there.

Many things add to having a well-balanced life. Stress can be a very dangerous and tiresome experience. It can lead to depression and unhappiness. But when it happens, you can do something other than wait, like talking to your friends or listening to music. Then you may not think you should have been so stressed and depressed.

A well-balanced life is important to maintain. Without some sort of balance it is hard to get

by in everyday life. And the creative use of leisure time plays a vital role. 86. What does the author mainly tall us in the passage?

Read roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year, her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he passed away, the roses were delivered to her door. The enclosed card said, “Be My Valentine,” like all the years before.

Each year he sent her roses, the notes would always say, “I love you even more this year than I last year on this day”. Or “My love for you will always grow with each passing year.” The year he passed away, she was sure it was the last time that the roses would appear on her front door.

She thought he must have ordered the roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband

B. Listening to music.

did not know that he would die. He always liked to do things very promptly, long before the deadline. In this way, if he was occupied, everything would still work out appropriately.

She trimmed the stems, and inserted them symbolically in a very special vase. She would sit for hours, in her husband?s favorite chair while staring blankly at his photograph and the roses sitting there.

A year went by and it wad difficult to endure without her mate. With loneliness and solitude, that tragedy has become her fate. The, at that identical hour, as on Valentines Day before, the doorbell rang and there were red roses sitting by her door.

She brought the roses in and then just looked at them in astonishment. Then, she went to get the telephone and called the florist who had delivered the roses. The owner answered and she asked him if he would explain why someone would unexpectedly do this to her, provoking such intense pain?

“I know your husband passed away more than a year age,” the owner said. “I knew you?d call and you would want to know,” he proceeded. “The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.”

“There is a standing purchase and delivery order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance, so you?ll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card, which he did several years ago.

“Then should I ever find out that he is no longer around, that?s the card that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers were shaking, as she haltingly reached to get the card.

Inside the card, she saw that he had written a note. As she stared in absolute silence, this was what he wrote…

“Hello my love, I know it?s been a year since I?ve departed. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife and the ideal companion. You were my friend and lover. You fulfilled my every need.”

“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together and how both of us were blessed to have each other. The roses will come every land they will only stop when your door?s not answered, when the florist stops to deliver and knock on the door.”

“He will come five times that day, in case you should be out. But after his last visit, he will
