A few years ago, as I saw a young man stealing something in the street, I told him there was so much he could do in his life and that he should have a goal about who he wanted to become when he grew up. I told him that it was still not too _______ to do it.

At that moment he _______ back to me, telling me to shut up. “Miss, ” he said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about. In fact, there’s no _______ out for me.” He told me his mom was never able to really _______ for him and that he had to do whatever he could just to eat.

I grew _______ as I listened to his words. But then I had an idea. “We all had a dream of what we wanted to become in life. What is your dream? What goals (目标) do you want to _______? Most importantly, what steps are you taking to move closer in _______ your dreams come true?” I asked. “I want you to _______ your goals down on paper today. Think about your plan and where you expect to see yourself in five or ten years. Then share what you’re written with me _______ sharing your goals is the first step to get your dreams started.

That day he set a ________. He promised he would become a doctor, and work hard through the long, difficult journey to realize that dream.

Finally he is not only my friend now, but also a famous doctor.

If you miss out a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily? Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.

It’s not just a funny phrase, but is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose (葡萄糖) levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.

The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low in glucose, the brain sends hormones (激素) to increase the amount of glucose in the body. Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian at Texas A&M University, the US, says, “Hunger leads to high stress hormones, which make it hard to manage our feelings.”

Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors (祖先) for our “hanger”. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live. So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.

In today's world of modern science and medicine，a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular ﹣animal friendship．

It is now well﹣known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets． Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried． Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems． These people often feel nervous and upset． Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy， entertainment and loving friendship．

Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals． John was a six﹣ year﹣old mute． He had no physical problems． He just refused to talk． His older cousin， Ned， had a parrot called Sally， and John used to visit it． When he arrived， Ned used to say， "Hi， John! "We all know parrots copy what they hear． After a few visits， Sally began saying " Hi， Johnl"when John came into the room． Then， one day， John turned to the parrot and replied"Hi， Sally!"Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking．

Another use of animal helpers is in schools． In some cases， animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems． In other cases， they are used to teach children to get on and share with others， and even to teach them about animals．

If you want to know more about animal helper programmes， you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the， Disabled or do a search under animal therapy"on the Internet． You don' t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in．
