Dr Richard Bergland, a brain researcher at the Harvard Medical School, has written a paper suggesting that human brain is basically a gland. Building on this view, Dr. Carmine Clemente, director of the Brain Research Institute at UCLA, has been looking into the secretions of the brain. He has estimated that there may be thousands of such secretions—all of which play a part in the functioning of the body.
What to me is most fascinating of all about these secretions is that they are not locked away or completely removed from
the conscious intelligence. It is true that the mind has no ongoing awareness of the numberless functions generated by the brain—the beating of the heart, the actions of the nerve cells, and the functions of all the glands.
But the fact that we have no direct knowledge of these functions as they occur does not mean that they are barred from supervision over them. The significance of biofeedback—a term used to describe the ability of the mind to enter into the working of the body—is that human being may actually be able to exert increasing control over themselves and may be able play an important role in overcoming illnesses.
Numerous medical reports now cite instances in which individuals have been able to direct their bodies in ways generally believed to be beyond the reach of the conscious intelligence. At the UCLA School of Medicine, I witnessed a demonstration which a man controlled his own heartbeat. He could speed it up or slow it almost to a stop merely by concentrating. Such a performance is not unknown in Eastern cultures, but it was startling, to say the least, to see such a demonstration in an American medical school, with a dozen or more physicians as fascinated observers of this use of biffed back. Patients are using biofeedback techniques at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas and at other medical centers as a means of relieving their migraine(周期性偏头痛)headaches or lowering their blood pressure. The evidence is incontrovertible that medical changes take place in the body as a result of mental functions or moods.

人类社会发展历程反复昭示,和平与发展互为因果。没有社会的和平稳定,发展就失去保障;没有经济的发展繁荣,和平的基础也会受到侵蚀。当前,由于国际金融危机的冲击,发展问题十分突出,一些发展中国家的社会稳定乃至地区和平受到严重影响,实现千年发展目标的任务紧迫而艰巨。中国主张,国际社会应遵循联合国宪章的宗旨和原则,坚持互信、互利、平等、协作的新安全观,共同维护和平稳定的国际和地区环境。中国也愿意与其他各方一道,积极推动落实联合国千年发展目标,共同促进发展中国家的和平与发展。(选自杨洁篪第十二届中国发展高层论坛年会演讲)

白杨树(The white polar)实在是不平凡的,我赞美白杨树! 当汽车在望不到边际的高原上奔驰,扑入你的视野的,是黄绿错综的一条大毡子;黄的是土,未开垦的处女土,几十万年前由伟大的自然力所堆积成功的黄土高原的外壳;绿的呢,是人类战胜自然的成果,是麦田,和风吹送,翻起了一轮一轮的绿波——这时你会真心佩服昔人所造的两个字“麦浪”,若不是妙手偶得,便确是经过锤炼的语言的精华;黄与绿主宰着,无边无垠,坦荡如砥,这时如果不是宛若并肩的远山的连峰提醒了你(这些山峰凭你的肉眼来判断,就知道是在你脚底下的),你会忘记了汽车是在高原上行驶。这时你涌起来的感想也许是“雄壮”,也许是“伟大”,诸如此类的形容词;然而同时你的眼睛也许觉得有点倦怠,你对当前的“雄壮”或“伟大”闭了眼,而另一种味儿在你的心头潜滋暗长了——“单调”!可不是,单调,有一点儿吧? 然而刹那间,要是你猛抬眼看见了前面远远地有一排,——不,或者甚至只是三五株,一二株,傲然地耸立,像哨兵似的树木的话,那你的恹恹欲睡的情绪又将如何?我那时是惊奇地叫了一声的!
提到童年,总使人有些向往。
