"Amy!Milk!" Mama called.

Milk. It was Amy's turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first—aid （急救） book.

Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. "She should have taken me with her. She thinks I'm too young, "Amy thought. "But she's wrong. I am already 15!"

Amy carried the milk back to Mama, then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse's back. "No wonder they don't trust kids with anything important, "Amy thought.

She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. "Roy!" The kids nearby ran towards him. "Get Betty, " one said. Amy shook her head. "Betty's gone to the city. "

The kids didn't know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg!She remembered what the first—aid book said about it.

"Victor!" Amy called to one of the boys. "Go get Roy's mama, and find someone with a truck. "She turned to the others. "Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with. "

Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy's leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. "I know it hurts, " Amy said softly. "But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital. "

When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy's mama and a man watching beside a truck. "Thank you, Amy, " Roy's mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.

The next day, Betty came to Amy's home. "I heard what you did, " Betty said. "You kept your head in an emergency. That's an important skill. "

Amy's face turned red. "I was afraid …"

Betty shook her head. "It's OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines. We need some more hands. Can you help？"

"I'd love to. " Amy replied at once.

"Come early, then. There is a lot to learn. "

Amy smiled. "I'll bring my first—aid book. "

A myth is something that is not correct, but many people believe it. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.

One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10% of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's completely not true!The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function （功能） . Modern scientists think the "10% myth" silly.

The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science.Thisis as popular as the 10% myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university tested the right brain and left brain myth. The study shows we use the left brain as much as the right brain.

It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence （证据） that creative people use the right side more or that scientific people use the left side more.

We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75% of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ （器官） in your body. Here's another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.

Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called"culture shock". It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want toadaptto your new home culture successfully.

Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the "excitement" stage. When arriving in a new environment, you'll be interested in the new culture, everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly.

But it won't be long before you move from the "excitement" stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt before changes to stress. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make, and even simple things like shopping have become challenge. It is at this "stress" stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as"culture shock".

However, "culture shock" doesn't last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to overcome it, you 'll move to the'recovery" stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.

The last stage is the"home" stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture.

"Culture shock" is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some form of it. Continue to be brave!And overcoming''culture shock" will be a piece of cake.
