There is an old story about a king and his daughter.The king asked his daughter how much she
loved him.She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt.Her answer made the king sad.Salt is a
simple thing,and it is very common.So the king thought his daughter didn't care about him.But the king
was wrong.Salt might be common.but it is very important.
Salt has many uses.Our bodies need salt.If we don't have enough salt.our body can't work well.
We use salt to produce other products.Products like paper,glass and soap depend on salt.But for many
years,salt's most important job was to preserve (food.
Most bacteria (can't live in a salty environment.As a result,salt has the ability to preserve
almost anything.For much of human history,this ability has made salt treasured.Even today.we compare
hard-working,useful people to salt by calling them"the salt of the earth".
For centuries.salt was also hard to get.Since almost everyone needed salt.the salt trade was an
important business.Salt could even be used like money.Valuable people are still described as being"worth
their salt".Today,salt is easy to get.It is no longer expensive,but it is still both important and useful.

People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English.For it.everyone is different.
I'll share some of my experience.I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University,but

One thing I can tell you is that.once you've started learning.you should try to think in
English as much as you can.If you sce somcthing when you're riding your bike or walking down
the strect.just think about "How would I say them in English?"At first.it might be with simple
words or phrascs.but later you should think about longer phrascs and (A).Now I'm in America.
and for most of the time.I would think in English and speak it directly.It's amazing B )much
this helps.

English because I didn't want to make mistakes.Finally I overcame(D)it.And while traveling in

but to speak English.And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed
at me.then so be it.After that,my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides,ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing and let them give you
some useful suggestions for taking exams.(C)They may be very good ideas.

At the moment.there are over 27.000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and
tasks.The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.All kinds of doctors can volunteer
for MSF.They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and.of course.they should
expect difficult conditions.Doctors with expericnce in tropical (diseases are especially
