A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.

For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.

During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol(膽固醇)levels.

As a tour guide, I am glad to tell you that more and more tourists are paying attention on environment protection. Several years before, in one place of interest,

I saw rubbish throwing away everywhere, such as waste paper, plastic bags. Besides, some tourist climbed trees and pick flowers. Some even scared or catch little animals. What’s more, some of them made a fire to cook, which may cause a forest fire. Recently great changes have been taken place. Most tourists take rubbish away with them while they leave. They no longer hurt little animals. Trees and flowers are well taken care. In the forest, smokers give up smoking so as not to start a fire. Now I sing high praise for so good deeds.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career. 1. I guess I had taken his work for granted.

2. For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. 3. He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job.

4. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.

5. The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic(信條)are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.

A. Providing for our family has been his joy.

B. I made every effort to solve his problems.

C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.

D. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives.

E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.

F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.

G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.
