Since the winter last year, the haze(雾霾) has happened a lot of times. It has done great harm(伤害) to our daily life. More and more people have to go to see the doctor because of the serious disease caused by the haze. Many traffic accidents happened and quite a lot of flights have to be put off just because of the haze weather. On Oct.30, 2013, in a 16-car chain collision (连环相撞) on the highway in Tangshan, many people were hurt and some even died. Beijing International Airport canceled or put off nearly 76 flights on Oct.6, 2013 as the result of the weather. (Wu Hai, Shantou) |
It’s reported that 293 pedestrians(行人)die of traffic accidents every day in China. I myself ever experienced a very terrible accident. Early last Thursday morning, I was walking on my way to school as usual. A little boy ran past me. He ran so fast when crossing the street that he didn’t notice a speeding car came round the corner. I was scared and shouted to him to stop, but it was too late. The boy was knocked down by the car. I hurried to the boy, crying for help. The boy was taken to the hospital as soon as the policemen and doctors arrived. Later, I learned the boy died because he lost too much blood. (Li Lan, Guangzhou) |

We have to accept（接受）the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn’t come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom（智慧）, we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it’s good for our health.
“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine,” said Mrs Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “My parents taught me to do this. It’s a part of our folk（民间的）culture.”
Mrs. Li is a member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to the top of a hill and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs（肺）and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shout out and others shout back,” said Mrs Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.”
Dr. Peter Smith, an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive（积极的） influence on people’s health.
So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.
