                  　　Passage two
                  　　I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone
                  rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before
                  although I had heard people talk about him. He sounded quite
                  nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I
                  understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that
                  someone called Milly had had a very accident. I hadn't the
                  slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
                  　　It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the
                  way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally
                  found his place. He was standing there， waiting for me. “She
                  meant more to me than anyone ……even my own wife！” he said. I
                  could see that he had been crying. I thought something
                  terrible had taken place， a possible scandal. I was even more
                  shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn（厩）。 “I
                  wouldn't leave here out in the cold！” he said.
                  　　Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to
                  tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he
                  opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark
                  figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow！ I wouldn't let
                  anyone but a doctor touch her！” he said， and burst into tears
                  again.

                  anything wrong with you？ Perhaps he sent you to a hospital，
                  but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is
                  nothing wrong.
                  　　Then consider this， you might be in a state of subhealth.
                  　　Subhealth， also called the third state or grey state， is
                  explained as a border line state between health and disease.
                  According to an investigation by the National Health
                  Organization， Over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle
                  aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people
                  who work in management positions as well as students around
                  exam time.

                  reactions， insomnia， agitation and poor memory. Other symptoms
                  include shortness of breath， sweating and aching in the waist
                  and legs.
                  　　The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth，

                  habits， alternate work with rest， exercise regularly， and take
                  part in open-air activities.
                  　　As for meals， people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.
                  They should also eat more fresh vegetables， fruits， fish，
                  because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins， and
                  trace elements——that are important to the body.
                  　　Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too
                  much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the
