2 . The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with the problem, it is suggested that the government should spend more money on disease prevention. Actually, many kinds of diseases can be prevented in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating.

One effective way of disease prevention is to eat more healthy food. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not eating too much animal fat and regularly eating vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.

Another useful and costless way of prevention is to exercise often, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.

In addition, health education, included in disease prevention, plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, the government could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it.

However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means towards the same effect. In a word, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if the government spends more money on disease prevention.

5 . How to survive in the jungle

When you’re in the jungle (丛林), you need to leave all your mobile phone, your favorite coffee and your chocolate bars at home. When you’re in the jungle, you need only four things—water, food, shelter, and fire. You can find all of these easily, but you must know what to look for.

Let’s start with water. Even though there’s a lot of water in the jungle, you may not find it Insects can also be a good sign, because they usually build their nests near water. However, don’t only look for rivers. You can also find water in some plants such as roots and palm trees.

You can usually find a lot of food in the jungle, but you must be happy to eat things you wouldn’t normally want to, for example, insects. However, you need to know the difference between those you can eat and those that are poisonous, so start reading about them now!

For cooking and for warmth, collect dry firewood, leaves, and grass. Then make fire using dry sticks-take a box of matches or a lighter with you!

The type of shelter you need depends on the weather and the kind of animals in the jungle. Some insects can be very dangerous, so protect yourself against bites .If you don’t have any insect repellent (驱虫剂), try putting mud on your skin.

Of course, if you’re lost in the jungle and want to get home again, the sun and stars can help you find your way.
