With the increasing involvement of the public healthcare, health education is becoming more and more important increasingly. In some Western countries, vigorous, overall and multi-level health education has proved cost-effective in preventing and treating expensive and almost incurable chronic noninfectious diseases. It can improve the health all the citizens as a whole. Some scholars even claim that whoever master health education master their own health and destiny. Both WHO and China have prioritized nationwide health education and called for more public involvement in it. u:GDM
What should China do for its health education? First, China’s health education suffers from little attention and investment, chaotic management and lack of teaching resources. Experts propose that to meet people's needs for health education, a rational nationwide health education network be soon established and such a specialty be opened in medical schools and more such teachers be trained. Second, China should establish its deplorable community health network and service. WHO proposes that everyone enjoy professional health care and education from birth to death. Besides, health education needs doctors’ cooperation. They should not only diagnose and prescribe but offer advices as health educators. Various health education services such as psychiatric centers, children problem centers, etc. should be put up. diDB>W
To conclude, more attention, investment and people should be involved in China's health education. Yi+$g

Personality, character in broad sense, includes temperament, quality, ability, aura, hobbies, etc. Modern science finds personality is closely related to health. This article is a brief discussion of this relationship. m H)th7
Scientists discover that people with a competitive, quick temperament are likely to have cardiovascular diseases and those often pressing their anger are susceptible to hypertension, whereas some other people might suffer from ulcers. Simply speaking, people of different personalities are susceptible to different diseases. cN vh2JI
Scientists also think that despite that genetic qualities form the basis of personality, the development of personality usually depends on later environment and education. Some inherently outward people might become introvert and depressed due to some strong excitement or defeats, or vice versa. %y _AT2A
Actually, personality and health affect each other greatly. A healthy, cheerful and optimistic personality is good to health while a weak, pessimistic one might influence one’s personality. #xTu {
In conclusion, as personality and health are closely related to each other, we should try to improve our personality to be a cheerful, optimistic and healthy one if we want to enjoy a better health.

Behavioral Prescription, a new drug Fl;!'1
It is said that one’s happiness is determined by his physical and psychological fitness. One’s state of mind or mood can be regulated/readjusted by bodily behaviors as some experts point out. This is called “behavioral prescription”, which involves laughter, crying, sports, dancing and singing. Here is a discussion of this prescription. 9a;8^?Ld%S
The method has been proved by modern science to be effective. It is found that crying can reduce psychological stress as it releases some harmful chemicals from the body. On the other hand, laughter can improve one’s immunity by increasing a favorable chemical in the body. Besides, when laughing, muscles in our internal organs move more actively. Scientists also find that dancing and gymnastic exercises can be more effective for some chronic diseases of the aged than medicinal therapy. The crazy stress from life and work of today can cause some psychologically abnormal behaviors and symptoms, which, can also be relieved by following behavioral prescription instead of instruments or medicine. =as\Tp#d
To conclude, behavioral prescription, a new medical concept, is more and more popular with both doctors and patients and will have a brighter future. )o> 1=Y`[z

There has been a [psychological phenomenon almost everyone has had. It is called “conformity complex”. This article is a discussion of it 5'h Q6i8
What is conformity complex then? It occurs when one is affected so much by others or peers that he gives up his own idea or opinion and conforms to other’ idea or behavior. People tend to do so when pressed by others. For example, it is easy to change one’s mind when shopping with friends or companions. The complex can be divided into two kinds: conformity to what others think and say, and the other is following suit. But both are somewhat blind. Here is an example. Once, one or two persons began to run for some reason of their own. Before long, others began to follow them and ran. Onlookers didn’t know what happened but they too began to run in the end, resulting in a running crowd. * zn=l+c
In a word, conformity complex is an act of following suit blindly and without independent thinking. It has both negative and positive sides of its own. If we can overcome its negative aspect and rationally utilize its positive aspect, we can improve our social morale and customs for better social order. I sna

What should we be cautious about after SARS \NI0rL
With the SARS epidemic ebbing, people are becoming less afraid of it. However, isn’t there anything we should be cautious about to prevent crisis like this? An expert with Peking University pointed out that there are many diehard unhealthy habits we should get rid of for this purpose. PS${B
First, get rid of our stubborn unhealthy habits. For example, we should learn to wash hands after going to restroom, shopping, counting money, etc. At dinner, we should have a separate portion of food instead of sharing from common dishes to avoid contacting each other’s saliva. We should protect wild animals rather than eat them. A lesson from the SARS is that abuse of wild animals may result in human contraction of bacteria or viruses from wild animals. cgvD>VUw
Second, public healthy morality and ethics should be strongly advocated. People should refrain from smoking in public, littering, spitting, etc. SARS epidemic indicates that insecurity in public health has endangered our health and life. KIfR4,=Q|
Third, health education should be promoted on a large scale, especially among farmers. It can distribute health knowledge, help improve the population’s physical constitution and help prevent diseases and especially infectious diseases by strengthening cooperation between health educational agencies and hospitals. n]+v Eu|
Conclusively, it is urgent that we get rid of our old and bad sanitary habits and form new and healthy habits to prevent the spreading of infectious disease like SARS. zA?]AL(+YW

Studies found that bad life style includes habits such as smoking, drinking, drug abuse, overeating, etc. deaths caused by diseases related to these habits account for 48% of all the deaths. Therefore, it is very important to live in a healthy manner/style/way. Besides, self-health-care, health education, etc. should be promoted all over the country. ,) JSX o
There is one mistaken idea among people about medical care. That is the over-dependence on doctors for people’s health while ignoring their own role in healthcare. =-GHs$u%f
In conclusion, in this age of life style, people should depend more on themselves, a healthy life style and self-healthcare than on doctors for a long, happy and healthy life. YDMimis\H5

In this essay, the importance of humanistic spirit to community health service is discussed. A humanistic and patient-oriented rather than doctor-oriented approach should be adopted by community health service, general practitioners and hospitals, which can help improve their medical service quality. 30Z RKrW"~
Actually, all the health-care reforms should also be carried out in the holistic, social and humanistic way of community health service. Doctors and general practitioners should not de-individualize their relationship with patients. Instead, they should take their patients as individual human beings rather than objects, showing real concern and responsibility. In this way, some common mistakes made by doctors could have been avoided. In fact, some diseases can be treated by doctors’ heartfelt and human concern instead of nonchalantly prescribed medication. In this aspect, general practitioners in Japan and the United States have set a good example of real concern over their patients. Their painstaking effort has brought about remarkable drop in disease mortality, incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, etc. )|@ H#kv?
To be short, a humanistic spirit should be carried out throughout medical education and community health-care system. In this way, we can cure not only bodily defects but also mental and behavioral disorders and thus eventually improve people’s health to a greater extent.
