One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts(武术)to learn bravery. The master looked at him and said: " I will teach you only on one condition, if for one month you will live in a big city and to every passing person on the street you will loudly, openly and looking straight into the eyes tell that you' re a coward." The person got really sad, because this task seemed scary to him. For a couple of days he was very sad, but to live with his cowardice(胆小)was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission. At first, when meeting the passers, he lost his speech. But he needed to finish the master' s task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his first passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But each time, his voice sounded louder and more confident. And then a moment came when the man caught himself thinking that he was not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him. That way a month had passed. The person came back to the master and said: "Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I' m not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this strange task will help me?" " The thing is," the master smiled, " that cowardice is only a habit. And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the stereotypes. And now you know that bravery is the same habit. To make it a part of yourself, you need to move forward into the fear. And then the fear will retreat, and bravery will take its place."

Americans this year will swallow 15000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.
Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain
salicylates
, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets(片剂)were available in the United States.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.
Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.
