【推荐2】Some of us are better at helping others than we are at looking after ourselves. Maybe you are like this. Maybe you know someone who is. These are people who-are easy to have Super-Helper Syndrome (综合征) where you feel it is a must to help others but don’t look after your own needs.     1    , so that you can take action before you reach a state of breakdown.

    2    . Many helpers are keen on helping others despite extreme tiredness and take this for granted. Are you tired all the time? Do you have no time for yourself? Do you suffer muscle tension or headache? Do you feel weight down?

It may bring hate. It’s easy to say you don’t want anything in return, but the reality is that it’s hard going indefinitely if you get little reward. At least you deserve thanks and recognition.     3    .

It may bring exploitation(剥削). If you never express any needs, then it’s easy and convenient for other people to act as if you don’t have any.     4    . If you give the impression that you want nothing in return, you get nothing in return. That’s why it’s important to take a hard look at whether some of the people you are helping are exploiting you.

It may bring self-criticism.     5    . Do you criticize yourself for not helping enough? Do you criticize yourself for experiencing the other three negative impacts of the Super-Helper Syndrome: for feeling tired, hateful, or exploited?

【推荐1】An illegal (非法的) building project is threatening (威胁) one of North America’s greatest treasures: the ancient pyramids in central Mexico. The project may harm the remains of temples and about 24 other ancient buildings. The illegal project is next to the Teotihuacan archeological area. Building anything new there is illegal. The owner of the land, however, has refused orders from Mexico’s antiquities organization INAH to slop for the past two months. Many Mexicans are angry that officials are failing to protect the ruins of Teotihuacan, a place visited every year by large numbers of people.

In late April, the INAH brought a report to the government. Federal officials charged the owner with “damage to archeological relics”. In recent weeks, the INAH recorded ongoing building in the area by 60 workers. That information came from Mexico’s Cultural Ministry.

Teotihuacan is about 50 kilometers northeast of Mexico City. It once was home to about 100,000 people who mostly lived in colorful stone houses.

People lived in that city at about the same time that Mayan culture had reached a high level to the south. But Teotihuacan is known for its own art and architecture. It grew rich for a period of 600 years until about 550 because of trading with other cities. It had an economy built on creating goods such as clothing and metal knives.

Officials have worked hard for years to stop illegal building. The building is often done at night and local government officials often arrive too late.

A tall wall surrounds the illegal building area. It is in what is believed to be one of the ancient city’ s oldest parts. A past archeological report said the area held at least three temples and 25 other ancient buildings.

Teotihuacan was named a world heritage (遗产) site by the United Nations cultural agency, UNESCO, in 1987. The naming requires government protection of the area.

【推荐3】SANTA MONICA, Calif．(KABC)—A Santa Monica High School teacher who was put on leave after using physical force to control a student who was selling marijuana(大麻)in his classroom has received surprising support on Facebook．The incident was captured on video and has caused a sudden reaction from parents, teachers, students and even graduates．They are showing their support for Black．A Facebook page supporting “Coach Black” has over 4,700 likes．And many want him back in the classroom．

Student witnesses say Mark Black, who is also the wrestling coach, tried to confiscate(没收)a bag of marijuana and was then injured by the student with a pencil．The cell-phone video shows Black locking the student’s legs and pinning the student to the ground．“He just wanted him to stop and he was trying to be a teacher and help, and I don’t think it was his fault．” said student Kylan Townsend．

School Board member Oscar De La Tone says Mr．Black is one of his teachers at Santa Monica High School．“I know him very well．I know him to be a fair person, a good person, someone who cares deeply about his students,” said De La Tone．He says that the video does not tell the whole story and that the incident brings to light the issue of drug use, something the district needs to address．

But in an email to parents, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Sandra Lyon says the teacher’s behavior is “absolutely alarming” She put Black on leave during an independent investigation．

Lyon has come under fire from parents for initially saying the kind of physical action used by the teacher was unacceptable．On Saturday, Lyon released the following statement to Eyewitness News: “I want to stress that teachers are at times confronted with difficult, even threatening situations, and they must make judgment calls to protect safety．I want to emphasize that putting the teacher who was involved in this incident on leave until completion of an independent investigation is a matter of standard policy and practice; it in no way prejudices the outcome of the investigation．”

Students hope the situation will have a quick and just resolution．An online petition(请愿书) has also been created by one of Black’s former students．The petition has already gained thousands of signatures．

Black did not respond to a request for comment．
