Joe and David were both mountaineers．As Joe were experienced，he was always asking David to copy his example．“Want to stand on top of the world．David?” “Of course．It has already been my dream，” David answered．

On a sunny morning，the two men started for the top of Mount Qomolangma．After they climbed over one of the most dangerous slopes（斜坡），they found a man lying in the snow．“He’s going to die，” David looked at Joe and said，as if he would help the man．“Leave him alone and just follow me! But if you bring the burden（累赘）with you，I'm afraid that you'll lose your life．” Joe warned David．Then he turned around and walked forward alone．It was too cold．After thinking for a while，David made up his mind to help the man．He carried the man on his back and made his way forward．Little by little，David’s temperature made the man warm．The man came to himself! And soon he could move all by himself．Together they moved side by side．

About two hours later，they caught up with Joe．To their surprise，they found that Joe was lying in the snow，too．He had been frozen to death!

After the killer earthquake hit Sichuan Province on May 12，2008，love and charity（慈善）began spreading through China from all over the world．Rebuilding after the quake begins now，and it will last long into the future．First of all，the most important thing is to help the people in the disaster area（灾区）take care of their mental（心理的）health．

Here are Professor Le's suggestions：

Dos：Do have enough sleep every day．

Do stay with your family and friends．

Do treat yourself to healthy food．

Don't：Don't hide your feelings．

Don't feel shy to talk to others how you feel．

Try to get them to understand you and they can help you．

Don't run away when your relatives talk about their experience during the earthquake．

Don't force yourself and your family to forget the disaster．

But how long will it take to recover psychologically（心理上恢复）from the earthquake? “It depends on the person's character（性格）．They have to help themselves，which is more efficient（有效的）than passively（被动）receiving comfort and sympathy（同情）from others，” said Professor Le，a member of the Chinese Psychological Society．
