When something is troubling us, it's natural to try and make it go away. We might head to the doctor or make a trip to the local drug store for medicine. Unluckily these methods can be expensive and it takes time.

But have no fear, because you might be able to come up with useful home remedies (治疗方法)with nothing more than a few simple ingredients from your house.

At one time or another, it seems everyone comes down with the flu. Along with taking it easy and getting plenty of rest, you can tur to chicken soup to make you feel better. Mothers from around the world have been making it for thousands of years for sick relatives. The hot soup warms you up and its pleasant smell helps to clear up your nose. It's often prepared with onions, carrots ... which all provide vitamins.

Nothing drives people mad quite like getting the hiccups (打嗝). In some cases, nothing seems to drive them away. Next time you've got a bad case of the hiccups, try this sweet solution. Take a full teaspoon with sugar and swallow it down. The sugar is thought to get your throat muscle (肌肉) to relax. Just don't overdo it, or you might have to take a trip to the dentist.

Headaches are another trouble. If you get one, try putting a pencil in between your teeth. A major cause of headaches is stress, and when we're worried, we often tighten our jaws (咬紧牙关), which pulls a muscle that connects to our head, and this action causes the pain, By placing a pencil in our mouths, we are giving our minds a signal to relax our jaws. This can reduce (减轻) the headaches almost immediately, But just remember not to bite(咬) it hard.

 Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Biomimicry borrows nature's design ideas and applies them to solve human difficulties. Nowadays a lot of companies started to invent in ways that are as elegant as what nature manages to do, and their designers and engineers began to sit with biologists to learn how nature would solve whatever it is they're trying to solve. 

 Some biologists worked with Nike company on apparel(服装)that would keep an athlete cool at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In a hot, dry place like Athens, what kind of organisms have to keep themselves cool and how do they do it? They found an African reed frog——a champion adapter in the heater—to study. 

If a company is making a solar cell , Biomimicry scientists will talk about how a leaf captures energy with their designers. Or if they're looking for some way to create an impact-resistant car, 

Biomimicry scientists will explain how woodpeckers can peck trees all day without harming themselves. 

Companies get the catalog of inspiration from the natural world and create things that sip energy, a city planner, an architect-should take one biology class in school. 

If you take a look at the octopus, you'll notice it moves fluidly and precisely but of course without motors or noisy fans or harmful fuel. The giraffe's vascular system allows it to pump blood up to its head and dip its head without getting dizzy. The humpback whale's flipper has scalloped edges to calm turbulence, and that's being mimicked in a new kind of wind turbine that can rotate in very low wind speeds because of its shape. There's even a new kind of pacemaker based on the heart of the whale. 

One famous biologist once said, 'In nature, failures are fossils. The organisms that are still with us are proven Companies that created a new product inspired by an organism have decided to donate a percentage of their proceeds to conserve the habitats of the organism. 

In ten years, you'll be able to visit ocean parks that have been preserved with the proceeds from a no-heat ceramic recipe based on the abalone's mother-of-pear!
