Zinc (锌) is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other elements work.

Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some matters were added to their food. One of these matters was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸盐) recovered in half of the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulpahte.

The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining blood and hair. A lack of this important element is not uncommon among people in both industrial and developing countries. Zinc is found in most high protein (蛋白质) foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food markets should add these elements so that more people could get needed amount of these necessary matters.

You only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? To achieve it, you can be fully satisfied with what you see and get.

“ What you see is what you get,” my grandmother used to say. “If you looked at a tree long enough, it will move.” We see what we want to see. Experts tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you will be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision (看法). If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, “ Now that you’ve retired from body building, what do you plan to do next?’ Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, “I’m going to be a movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and laughed at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this strong bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be a Hollywood movie star!

So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, “I’ll do it the same way I became the bodybuilder. What I do is to create a vision of what I want to be. Then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childish, doesn’t it? But it works! Schwarzenegger has become a first-class well-paid movie star in Hollywood! Remember: If you can see it, you can be it.

75. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Live the best life                B. Failure is the mother of success

C. What you see is what you get      D. Be active in life
