Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences. Now American
39、researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the
40、US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, w
41、hile others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after wars.

When we look at childrens lives today in the USA, we can see the root(origin)of the problem-sports and foods. Young children like spor
47、ts but they dont have enough around the start of high school. Thats especially true for girls. Meanwhile, to make matters worse, schools are becoming much more interested in sports teams. So children are not able to get enough exercise just when they need it the most. There is also the food problem.
48、 Children get most of their calories(热量 ) at restaurants or parties or somewhere else away from home. They often drink too many Cokes.
