    Many animals do strange things before an earthquake (地震). This news may be important. Earthquakes can kill people and knock down homes. The animals may help to save lives.
    Some animals make a lot of noise before an earthquake. Farmers have told about this. Dogs that are usually quiet have started to howl(吠). Horses on farms have run around in circles. Mice have left their holes and run away. Cows have given less milk.
    In a town in Italy, cats raced down the street in a group. That happened only a few hours before an earthquake. In San Francisco, a man kept tiny pet frogs. One Sunday, the frogs jumped around more than ever. They made loud noises, like bigger frogs. That night, an earthquake struck the city.
    People want to know when an earthquake is coming. Then they could get away safely. Right now, there is no sure way to know ahead of time. Maybe the best way is to watch the animals.

Why play games?Because they are fun,and a lot more besides. Following the rules,planning your next move

Think about some of the games you played as a young child,such as rope﹣jumping and hide﹣and﹣seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly,they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives,such as taking turns and teamwork. 

Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example,some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes,which is needed in hunting. 

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all,the Olympic Games,bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags,not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war,an Olympic win can mean so much. 

Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it﹣﹣some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne,a Californian soccer player,has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future. 

Next time,when you play your favorite game or sport,think about why you enjoy it,and whether these skills will help you in your life.

March 30th is the World Bipolar Day. Liu Tiebang, president of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital,introduced bipolar disorder (BD) to the public in an effort to raise awareness for the mental health illness.

Bipolar disorder, also called manic depression (躁郁), is a mood disorder which can cause a patient's mood to change from a very high to a very low. Manic symptoms (症状) can include increased energy, quick response, unusual talkativeness, a lack of need for sleep, high self-esteem and so on. Depressive symptoms can include less energy, loss of interest or pleasure, feeling worthless, low self-esteem and suicidal(自杀性的) thoughts.

Patients with BD are often misdiagnosed (误诊) as depression. Liu said that while someone is experiencing a manic stage, he or she may be unusually talkative, sociable and outgoing. Patients having these kinds of problems may not realize that they are ill and often do not look for medical care. On the other hand, patients experiencing depressive periods are more likely to be noticed.

"With the development of treatments and medications, the treatments for BD have become better at present," said Liu. "The medications are safer. Patients getting the right treatments at the earlier stage of BD have a higher possibility of recovery (恢复); or the mania and depression may happen again."

For patients with BD, in addition to medication, other methods such as physical treatments, psychological treatments, social support groups and crisis intervention may be useful for managing their symptoms and controlling mood changes.
