Old Wives' Tales Proven Untrue
We all grew up with sayings that were intended to frighten us into being good or convince us to eat better.Looking back, some of these childhood proverbs don’t even make much sense.(Ever hear the claim that swallowed gum stays in your stomach for seven years? Uh-huh, sure.)However, there are quite a few out there that people still believe in.That's why we decided to investigate some common old wives' tales to see how they hold up under scientific scrutiny.From the moon's affect on crimes to the true causes of colds, this list is sure to surprise even the most enlightened among you.
     
False: Countless kids were scared into thinking that if they went back in the water less than 60 minutes after eating, they would suddenly cramp up (the muscles get suddenly tightened) and drown.But according to MayoClinic.com, it's perfectly safe to swim after you eat a light meal or snack. The site does recommend taking a short break after eating a big meal, however, not because of cramping, but due to extreme lack of energy. As is known to us all, after eating, more of our blood goes to help the digestive system.
      
Partially True: This saying has been around since before the discovery of an apple's vital nutrients: Vitamin C and polyphenols.Regardless, the core of the matter is that while this fruit will help keep you well, it's not always enough to keep you out of the medical danger zone; When you're ill, your body requires nutrients from all the different types of food in a well-balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, yogurt, protein and, of course, chicken soup.Only one kind of specific fruit or food can not solve all the problems.
      
False: According to the National Weather Service, lightning can strike the same place numerous times, especially if it's a tall, pointed and isolated object. For example, the EmPire State Building, a skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, New York City, USA, which was for long the tallest building in the world, 'is hit an average of 25 times a year. That is the reason why it was once used as a lightning laboratory. Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the thunderstorm and laughs at two  inches of rubber!
      
False: Neither wet nor dry hair significantly increases your chances of getting sick.WebM  D.com says colds are solely caused when viruses are passed from one person to another, so you should be more concerned with how often you wash your hands, not your hair. A proper way to keep healthy is to develop good personal habits of life.Prevention is always the best cure, better than any drug and treatment.
      
False: Many interesting things are thought to increase during a full moon emergency room visits, accidents, ability to have babies, werewolves.Almost all these phenomena are attributed to the Lunar Effect, which tries to link unusual, unbelievable, or unacceptable behavior and the phases of the moon. However, according to myth-buster and syndicated columnist, Cecil Adams, there is no truth at all behind the theory.

Crossroads International
1. How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arenain Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. 1
2. Who do we help?
2They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
3. 3
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. 4Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions ●Householders
●Transport Companies ●Offices
●Other Charities
5While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

A.One resource that we are always in need of is people.
B.So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
C.What can I do?
D.The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.

F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.
G. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services.

On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3 Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
4 If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. 5 Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

A.He may do well in his future work.
