Beijing Olympics showcases a mature ChinaFor most of the people, the Beijing Olympics was unforgettable. They will remember Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps, and those athletes who won their countries' first ever medals. The Chinese will remember most not the record of 51 gold medals, but the jubilant 16 days they presented to the outside world.From Aug. 8 to 24, the Games were in the world's spotlight. Besides the joy and sorrow they experienced at the sports events, visitors were entertained by the hospitable citizens and volunteers, the well-organized events, and the fantastic sports venues.These were truly exceptional Games, said International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge, before he declared the Games closed in front of 90,000 jubilant spectators in the National Stadium, or the Bird's Nest.Since the Olympic flame was extinguished on the evening of Aug. 24, the jubilant mood lingers in the hearts of ordinary people. A Beijing resident named Bu Ju remembered the excitement.When I was in the sports venues, the most English words I said were 'Where are you from', said Bu, It was like a huge international party. I was very proud of the country hosting the whole world.The Games attracted a record number of participants - from a record 204 IOC member countries and regions. At the opening ceremony, more than 80 heads of states and governments were present, the most in Olympic history. American broadcaster NBC found the Games was the most watched television event of all time.Although the IOC appealed against attempts to politicize the Games, many people still view the Olympics from beyond the sports and thus attendance or non-attendance became a political issue in some countries.After earlier hinting that he would not attend the opening ceremony, French President Nicolas Sarkozy finally appeared in the Bird's Nest on Aug. 8. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was criticized by his predecessor, Jean Chretien, for not attending.When the international community voted for Beijing to host the Games seven years ago, they had trust in China's reform and opening-up policy, said Professor Hu Angang, profession with Tsinghua University. The clustering of foreign state leaders and elites at the opening ceremony again showed that the international community had voted in favor of the direction of the country's development.China's current spell of fast development dates from 1978, when the whole country had just emerged from the mass mania of the 10-year Cultural Revolution. The people were more focused on trying to feed themselves, and hosting an Olympic Games was inconceivable. China even had to give up hosting the Asian Games in 1978 because it lacked enough sports facilities.The past three decades have seen an average GDP growth rate of almost 10 percent a year, making China the world's fourth largest economy after the United States, Japan and Germany. With economic power, China had the money for hosting the Games.In 2001, China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO), the same year it won the bid to host the 2008 Olympics.After 30 years of development, China, with a population of 1.3 billion, has really become a part of the world and the biggest stakeholder, said Hu.China adopted international practices in the Olympics. IOC officials, foreign administrative teams and foreign sponsors were engaged deeply in the Games. From the design of the Bird's Nest, to the broadcasting and administrative work, they helped improve the level of the Games.More international cooperation, more foreigners in Beijing. Currently, the city's police department estimated almost 500,000 foreigners were in Beijing, permanently and temporarily, a 42-percent increase over the same period the previous year.When I saw foreigners in Beijing's streets a decade ago, I probably would stop and look at them, said Bu, but I will not do that again. Foreigners are a dime a dozen here.Changes are huge compared with the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing. A veteran Chinese journalist recalled that during the Asian Games, volunteers acted like guards and policemen in front of journalists. They often stopped suspicious persons for questioning.Yet, during the 2008 Olympics, every volunteer had a smile, and journalists faced few difficulties in reporting, the journalist said on condition of anonymity.The authorities set up three designated protest zones in three parks, two in downtown and another in the outskirts of the city.The zones saw no protests. Police officials said that as the government resolved the complaints after negotiations with applicants, the would-be protesters withdrew their applications.While being proud of leading the gold medal count, the Chinese showed none of the excessive nationalism feared by some foreign media before the Games. As some internet users said, China did not need gold medals to show its power.Through these Games, the world learned more about China, and China learned more about the world, said Rogge in his speech at the closing ceremony.Hosting the Games was more of a challenge considering the ordeals China experienced this year. The year of the mouse in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar has been extraordinary, featuring natural and man-made calamities. In March, a few separatists ran riot in Lhasa and the Tibetan-inhabited regions in neighboring provinces.On May 12, the 8.0-magnitude earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province killed almost 70,000 people. In a mournful mood, the whole country immediately mobilized for relief work.Tibetan separatists disrupted the Olympic torch relay in France. When the nation mourned for the quake dead from May 19 to 21, the torch relay was halted for three days.However, when basketball star Yao Ming went into the Bird's Nest as flag bearer of Chinese team, he was with 7-year-old Lin Hao, a quake survivor from Sichuan. China showed it had overcome the trials.The Beijing Games is testimony to the fact that the world has its trust rested in China, said Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Organizing Committee of the Games. The Chinese people, filled with enthusiasm, have honored the commitments they solemnly made.Although the Games have ended, the legacy stays. Fascinated by the clear skies in those days, people are calling for continued controls on the use of vehicles after the Games.The Games gave us a more open and mature attitude, said Professor Hu Jiqing from Nanjing University. This attitude featured magnanimity, tolerance and pluralism.More importantly, it embodies a more confident nation, said the professor Hu.When American female volleyball team, headed by Coach Lang Ping, a former Chinese star player, defeated China in the semifinals, Chinese did not rebuke her as traitor. When sprinter Liu Xiang, gold medalist of 110m hurdle in Athens 2004 and one of China's most famous athletes, quit the games because of an injured Achilles' tendon, most Chinese expressed their understanding.Just 20 years ago, Chinese gymnast Li Ning, who won three gold medals in 1984 Los Angeles Games, found a bullet in an anonymous envelope after his poor performance in Seoul Games in 1988.Thanks to the 30 years of development, China is more open-minded and confident, and hopes to merge more with the world in the spirit of the Olympic slogan One World, One Dream.Inspired by the Olympic spirit, the Chinese people want to join with people of all other countries to write a new chapter for the international Olympic Movement, and create a better future for mankind, said Chinese President Hu Jintao in an group interview with foreign media before the Games.你可以进行适当的取舍

What is depression?什么是抑郁症
Depression is a mood disorder that causes you to feel sad or hopeless for an extended period of time. More than just a bout of the blues or temporary feelings of grief or low energy, depression can have a significant impact on your enjoyment of life, your work, your health, and the people you care about. 抑郁是在一段时间内持续的一种精神絮乱，它让人感觉悲伤，对生活失去希望。
不止发作一次的悲伤心情，或没有精力，抑郁对人们的生活，工作，健康，甚至对周围的人们都会产生很大的影响。
Depression affects people differently. Some feel down for extended periods of time; for others the feelings of depression come and go. If you have short episodes of mild depression, you may be able to continue to work and take care of daily activities. However, if you do not seek some form of treatment for your depression, you are at risk for getting more depressed or becoming physically ill. In severe cases, depression can cause people to become incapable of communicating, unable to do routine activities, or suicidal. In these cases, it is essential to seek medical attention. 抑郁对人们的影响是不同的。
有些人经常情绪失落，而有些人只是偶尔有这种情绪。
如果你偶尔有这轻微的抑郁，可能你能继续工作，应付日常工作。
但，如果不对你的抑郁寻求一些治疗，你可能就会变得更加抑郁，或生病的风险。
严重抑郁会导致人无法正常交流，不能进行日常的活动，甚至自杀。
在这种情况下，寻求药物治疗就非常重要。
People with depression may be reluctant to seek help because they feel that it is a sign of personal weakness or a character flaw or that they should be able to pull out of it on their own. We now know that depression, like other medical conditions, has a chemical and biological basis. Treatment for depression is safe and usually effective even for severely depressed people. 患抑郁的人通常认为它是个人性格上的弱点，或是性格上的缺陷，他们认为能够通过自身的努力消除，从而他们不愿意寻求帮助。
我们知道，抑郁和其它的疾病一样，都有生物和化学基础。
治疗是安全的，对于患有严重抑郁的人，它通常是非常有效的。
If you think you may have depression, take a short quiz to evaluate your symptoms: 如果你认为你可能有抑郁的话，填写一份简短的测试问卷来分析你的症状。
Are you depressed?你抑郁吗
What causes depression?什么会引起抑郁
Depression may be triggered by stressful life events, other illnesses, certain drugs or medications, or inherited traits. Although causes of depression are not entirely understood, we know it is linked to an imbalance in brain chemistry. Once the imbalance is corrected, symptoms of depression generally improve. 过高压力的生活事件，其它疾病，一些药物或治疗，或遗传因素等都有有可能引发抑郁。
虽然抑郁的起因不能完全搞清楚，但我们知道它和大脑内某种化学物质的失衡有联系。
一旦这种失衡被纠正之后，抑郁就会大大的改善。
What are the symptoms?抑郁有哪些症状
Depression is more than just the normal, temporary feelings of sadness and hopelessness associated with difficult life events. Common symptoms include: 抑郁是一种和困难生活事件相关的，自然的，临时性的，伤心，失望的一种感受。

即使没有这些主要的症状，如有这其中这些部分现象持续超过二周时间的，可能就患有轻度的抑郁，仍然需要治疗。
How is it treated?如何治疗
Depression is usually treated successfully with professional counseling or antidepressant medication. Often a combination of the two is most effective. People with depression usually can be treated as outpatients, but in severe cases a period of hospitalization may be necessary. 通过专业的开导或服用抗抑郁药物，都可能成功的治疗抑郁。
通常将二者结合治疗效果更佳。
通常抑郁患者不需住院治疗，但情况严重的，需要住院一段时间。
If you have mild or moderate depression, you may be diagnosed and treated by your family health professional and a therapist or psychologist. If you have severe depression or other psychological disorders or do not respond to treatment, a psychiatrist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems, may be helpful. 如果患有轻微或中度的抑郁，可以通进家庭医生或临床医师或心理专家进行诊断和治疗。
严重的抑郁，或其它的精神絮乱，或治疗无效的，精神健康专业医生可能会提供帮助。
Let your health professional know if you suspect that you have depression, because it is often overlooked. If you are diagnosed with depression, you and your health professional can decide on the best treatment. The earlier you are treated, the more quickly you will recover. 如果你怀疑自已有抑郁，一定要让你的健康医生知道，因为它通常会被忽略。
如果你被诊断患有抑郁，一起和你的健康医生决定最好治疗方案。
