　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　A

　　For thousands of years humans have used herbs, roots, and other things from nature to cure disease. Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contains. They find the active ingredient, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines.

　　In recent years, many people in the US have taken what are legally known as dietary supplements(补药). They may be vitamins or minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always true. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects.

　　The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements.

　　Dietary supplements aren't tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury(水银). They are very poisonous, even in tiny amounts.

　　It seemed more important to be like others than finding out what it meant to be me.I spent all my energy trying to conform.I couldn't work out why I was so unhappy when I'd achieved what I thought I wanted.

　　After many tears and sleepless nights，my teacher took me aside and asked why I was upset.I told him though I tried to fit in at school，I still felt unhappy.He asked me why I cut my hair off，and I told him that I wanted the same kind of hairstyle that the other girls had.

　　He said，“You've started doing things to please other people.If you don't do it for yourself，you will always feel upset.If the people at school don't like you for who you are，then it's their problem.”What he said was true.I started trying to do things for myself.After that I felt a lot better.
