    Do you know what makes lightning (闪电)? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub (摩擦) together, and cause atmospheric (大气层的) changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge (静电). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds or between a cloud and the earth. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Lightning can be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches a temperature of 28,000℃. About 1,000 people are hit by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes every day in the world. An American man, Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, survived from the most lightning strikes. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}And he keeps the highest world record.

    Lightning is sure not something to play with. When lightning strikes, it's best to stay inside a large building. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Also, do not lie down on the ground, or the electricity may go through you and cause a heart problem.

"Everybody loves bargain (减价品). " is a famous saying. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} In our daily life, one person's useless or broken object may be another person's bargain. That is why Americans don't throw things away. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} And they put up a "For Sale" sign to have a yard sale. 

Over the years, many people's houses have been filled useless objects. It seems wasteful to throw them away. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The sellers put an ad (广告) in a newspaper first. It tells others when and where the yard sale will take place. Early in the morning, people take their things out of the house. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Anything can be sold at a yard sale, such as old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing. However, some people don't sell their old things. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Later, they may hold their own yard sales to sell all the things they have bought.

Enriching your life means trying to make your life meaningful and filled with joy as much as possible. You may have difficulty enriching your life. However, there are two steps you can take to make your life {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. 

Take risks (冒险) that challenge you. If you don't take risks, then you won't be able to enrich your life. So try new things. Do some new things that make you feel less safe. And whether you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} water, heights, or new people, make an effort to see that there's nothing to be so scared of, so that you can feel more confident. 

Take steps to meet people you don't know. Of course, talking to new people can lead to some {#blank#}3{#/blank#} conversations. However, the more you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} introducing yourself to strangers, the more likely you are to meet exciting and interesting people you can learn much from. 

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.
