Does Viagra gives athletes an advantage?Lots of people believe that Viagra can be used on athletes. However, the new research shows that the effects of Viagra are not apparent for them.
I had heard about the news of Viagra several months ago. I thought the reason of taking advantage of Viagra persuaded me when I first knew it. Viagra can increase oxygen-carrying capacity of blood vessels. Therefore, the muscles of athletes’ can enhance endurance because of the more efficient transport of oxygen. Not only me but also a lot of people athletes trust the amazing effects after taking Viagra. However, the study brings the different point of view to us.
The research reveals that the performance of athletes did not significantly boost a lot. The real reason of gaining better performance than before is the mental change of them! I was surprised at this truth. The athletes want to improve themselves by all means, such as the unit in our English class mentioned about, StrMotion. I guess the athletes who believe in Viagra would disappoint because they lose a chance to improve themselves. Viagra also lose its status on sports, but it is no doubt that Viagra is still an unbeatable medicine in the bedroom.(200 words)

The challenges of eating right on a limited budget
Nowadays, the food prices get higher than our salary, especially vegetables and fruits, which provide lots of nutrition to us. It seems that the poor people could not afford the cost of healthful food so that they choose junk food for their meals unwillingly.
As an university student, I had faced seas of difficulties because of my limited allowance. I spent more money on foods than before and I seldom made ends meet without the support of my dear mom. In this report shows an interesting experiment that the couple in United States lived for a month on just a dollar a day for food. They couldn’t gain enough nutrition with the lack of money. On the contrary, our former president had a hunger strike in order to protest the verdict of him. The media in Taiwan paid attention to haw many meals he had refused to eat without concerning the poor people who had to struggle on the edge of death.
Currently, our government decided the policy of sending the consumed tickets to all the citizens in Taiwan. According to the report from newspaper, over sixty percent people wanted to use the money to buy the necessaries without the luxurious goods. If the economy slump could not be solved after the policy, we should live in the dogs’ life in the near future.(224 words)

Decoding the subtle injustices of ugliness talks about the discrimination for ugly people. From sociologist to economists started to observe the situation that people usually judge a person by his or her appearance. Even on movies, the villains were created in the terrible faces.
I think modern people like to see beautiful things and hate to have the contact with “uncomfortable” people. I have to admit that I also love to take a look on handsome guys. However, after read this research, I was surprised that I had been ignored the personalities which deeper than skin of human beings for a long time. In the report, the experts indicated that ugly people were always associated with evil and fear although there had no connection with them at all. Moreover, the ugly people also get fewer opportunities or earn less money than people of beauty. It seemed that have a lovely face or not would determine the whole life nowadays.
Our world keeps changing each moment. We could not slow down and know a person clearly. We set the rules in order to distinguish people into various types. The thin people are pretty and sexy to common people. I think that’s the reason why women go to do cosmetic surgery. I don’t know what the meaning is if each one looks alike. I don’t know how to change the conception of beauty, either. We have no right to define “ugly” or to persuade others become what we like. I think our world is cute because lots of special people.(254 words)

Science Says We Really Are What We Drink shows a new research that the characteristic of a person has a strong link to what temperature of drinks he or she would like to drink.
I chose this news immediately when I first swept its interesting topic. I usually have a cup of tea during my hasty life because I love the taste of tea. In order to know the personal traits I have, I took this news. In the research experts divided the temperature of drink into warm or cold. They observed people chose which one and compared the personalities of people with others. Amazingly, people who chose the warm drink would more considerate than who chose the cold one. It seemed that the “warm” people paid more attention on their family and friends and so on.
At first time, I thought it’s a massive discovery on human beings but when I had the second thought, I thought this investigation also had some problems the experts need to solve. Which timing they did this research had a vital influence. People of course didn’t want to drink warm liquid in the day of melting hot nor had a frozen drink in a snow day. I think they should have more experiences before they told us the consequence. I like the viewpoint the researchers had mention about and I’ll follow this investigation from now on.(227 words)

Last five years ,much more Chinese people turn to Western psychotherapy than before because they pay more attention to their innor mind. However ,there are still few psychiatrist in China. Therefore ,China American Psychiatrist Alliance takes actions to provide opportunities for training Chinese psychiatrist.
In traditional Chinese society ,people seldom asking for help to “strangers”. Chinese people used to gain their judgments from others instead valued by themselves. I think it is a good change that people find the way to release their own stress without suicide. Asians started to aware of their own will and future. In my opinion ,Asians get stress from peer ,family and also ourselves.
As a student ,I have seas of stress from many places ,such as lots of schoolwork and the allowance is always not enough to pay for my desires. I still have pressures from myself because I want to have the best performance on everything. To me ,go to see a doctor is an unusual approach to cope with my stress. I listen to music when I have terrible feeling about my life or do something I interested in such as go shopping ,maybe that’s the real why I spend lots of money. After all ,I believe that everyone should have a resolution when they feel bad but not the things harmful for themselves ,just like me.(225 words)

'Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night': Brilliantly charting an artist's metamorphosis mentions the periods of Ven Gogh’s drawing life. Introducing many famous pictures and different kinds of style Ven Gogh used at different times.
Ven Gogh is one of my favorite painters.He attracted me from his masterpiece to his insistence.The painting I like the most is “The Starry Night”.This picture has an obvious conflict between light and dark. I think it’s amazing that he could look things in a specific way and show what he feel in his works.I even can feel the movement of stars and see the bright night sky clearly.
Ven Gogh also had a hard time on insisting his dream to be a painter but he never gave up.He knew he doomed to be a painter because of the passion he had then he worked hard in order to achieve his goal.I like the insistence he had.Luckily,he had a brother who supported him and cheered him up to follow his dream without caring about the tools of painting. Ven Gogh also did his best on producing lots of masterpieces and created an unique style by himself.
Take him for example,I think that I can’t beaten by small challenges.I should learn what he did and insist the way I already chose wivhout hesitate.Only when I conquer all the obstacles,I can be a successful person just like him.(221 words)
