飞蚊症如何治疗?

在看明亮的地方、白墙壁和蓝天的时候,可以看到眼前有虫子和线头样的东西在飞舞,并感觉到和视线一起移动,眨眼时也不消失,但在暗的地方就感觉不到。这种眼前“浮游物”的感觉被称为“飞蚊症”。

生理性飞蚊症一般可分为以下三种:先天性生理性飞蚊症;老年性生理性飞蚊症;近视性生理性飞蚊症。在进行眼科检查的基础上,以上这三种类型的飞蚊症一旦得到诊断,并没有一定治疗的必要。
 
如果检查不是很严重,可以按摩眼睛周围,以放松肌肉,使气血流畅,泡些适量的枸杞菊花茶, 
三钱菊花,一钱枸杞子,一钱夏枯花。

按摩的方法是:仰卧在床上,闭着双眼用拇指、食指分别放在眼眶上下,向内外各旋转50次,
再换食指、中指成剪刀状按摩双眼角,内外各旋转50次,最后用食指、中指并拢闭着双眼按摩眼球,内外旋转各50次。按摩时轻重以能忍受为好。按摩完后稍停片刻,到宽敞处极目远望数分钟。每日坚持两次,晚上用毛巾热敷一次,上述办法既不用药又简单易行。此外在按摩治疗期间,忌在强光下看东西,忌看字特别小的书籍和刊物,要少看彩电,最好不打麻将。 

买黑豆一斤,先用大火炒,约五分钟,再用小火炒五分钟,以黑豆的皮暴开为好(切忌不可炒焦!) 然后冷却15分钟,用手试验不烫手即可!然后加入醋,放入密封的容器内!待完全冷却后即可食用!一般我是一天两次,早晚各一次,用西瓜送服!30粒左右。
现在已服用半月,眼前的三个黑点已经很淡,白天只有在光线特强的地方还能看见,好了很多!
醋泡黑豆做法非常简单,首先准备一个平底锅,放入黑豆,但不放油,用中火炒5分钟左右,等黑豆皮迸开后,改为小火,再炒5分钟,注意不要炒煳。将炒好的黑豆晾15分钟后,放入带盖子的干净容器中,之后加入陈醋,浸泡两个小时左右,陈醋被黑豆吸收后,就可以食用了。
醋泡黑豆除了能帮助抑制视力下降外,对治疗慢性疲劳、寒症、肩膀酸痛、高血压、高胆固醇等也都很有效,这些都是在办公室里工作的人最容易得的疾病。醋泡黑豆做好后当天就可食用,放入冰箱可以保存半年,因而可每次多做一些。黑豆本身具有天然的甜味,醋泡黑豆味道醇和,比较好吃。如果不喜欢醋的酸味,还可以加入少量的蜂蜜。

Rule 7 For Excellent English

http://learnrealenglish.com/rule-7-for-excellent-english

Use Listen And Answer Stories

Learn English fast with Listen and Answer Stories. These English lessons are the fastest way to improve English speaking that we know.

 Hi, I’m AJ Hoge, one of the teachers of Learn Real English. And today is your last day, the last secret, the last rule. And we saved the best one for last. The last rule, the last secret is to use listen and answer stories. And learn how to think in English. See the problem in schools, one of the problems, one of the many problems with English education is that most students learn English through translation. Right?

You learned English, probably from a teacher who spoke your own language. So when you were
studying English you were always translating to your language from your language. When you studied vocabulary you would memorize the meaning in your language, translation. You also learn lots and lots and lots and lots of grammar rules. And so that makes you think all the time about English, when you’re supposed to be speaking, when you should be speaking easily without thinking, instead you’re thinking about grammar, you’re thinking about vocabulary. You’re also feeling nervous. All of these things are happening and that’s why your speaking is not so great right now.

But we’ve given you 6 rules already and now I’m giving you number 7 to give you a totally new way to learn so that you can teach yourself again, teach yourself English again. And in this way, by following all of these rules, you will learn to speak in a very, effortless way, without thinking. You will learn to think in English so that the thought comes to you in English and then it comes out of your mouth in English. When someone speaks to you, you just know the meaning. You don’t have to translate to your language and back again.

And the most powerful way to do this is to use listen and answer stories. This is really the center part of our system, the most powerful part. It’s essential. It’s so, so, so important. So what are they? What is a listen and answer story? Well, this is a very, very special way of teaching English. So what happens is the teacher asks a story in a very special and specific way. And when the teacher uses this method and this technique it trains you, it teaches you and teaches your brain to begin thinking in English. It also teaches you to understand faster, faster, faster and faster, and to respond, to speak faster and faster and faster without translating, without thinking about anything.

So how does that work? You probably noticed I said the teacher asks a story, not the teacher tells a
story. So the important part of this technique and this method is the teacher will tell a funny, crazy story. And we make them funny and crazy because they’re easier to remember. See, if we tell you a normal, boring story, you’d probably forget it. But if we tell you a story that’s funny and crazy and strange, you’ll remember the story. You will also remember the grammar and vocabulary in that story. That’s why we make them funny and strange and crazy.

The other thing that we do is that we ask the story, meaning we create a story using lots and lots and lots of simple, easy questions. You see, if we just tell you a story, it’s passive. You just sit there and you listen and you don’t do anything. Hm-hm-mm, you’re listening to the story. But if we ask you questions and questions and questions, you have to do something. Your brain has to understand the question and then answer it immediately, because we ask these questions fairly fast.

Now the good news is they’re very simple, easy questions. That’s also important. You see, if we asked you difficult questions, again, you’re going to stop and think. And that will teach you to understand more slowly and to speak more slowly. We don’t want that. Instead, by using really, really, easy, simple questions, we teach you to instantly understand. They’re simple and easy so you will understand them quickly. And, then, you don’t have to think about the answer. It’s so obvious. It’s so easy, that you can just say it immediately, very fast.

That is so important because that trains you. It teaches you to respond instantly. This is how we’re going to make your brain understand and use English faster and faster and faster and faster. And that’s how you learn to start thinking in English. And you stop thinking in your own language. Instead, you think in English. You understand English instantly and you speak it instantly.

So what happens is the teacher just asks you a bunch of questions, y’know. What was there? You’re like I don’t know. And we’ll say there was a boy. Ah. Was there a boy? Then you say yes there was a boy. Say, that’s right, yes there was a boy. Was there a boy or was there a girl? And you say there was a boy. And we just continue telling the story and it becomes stranger and more difficult. But we just keep asking lots and lots and lots and lots of these questions.

And you, your job, is just to shout the answer. You use your body. You use your voice. You use a loud
voice. You want to teach yourself to be confident and happy while speaking English. And that’s it. By
asking lots and lots of questions, we start repeating the important grammar, many, many, many, many,
many times. We repeat the important vocabulary many, many, many, many, many times. You don’t have to study anything. There’s no lists for you to read. You just answer the simple questions. That’s all.

And you enjoy this funny, crazy story. I mean they’re fun, they’re funny. It’s not like studying something boring or terrible. It’s a funny, entertaining story. And by doing this, constantly, we ask, ask, ask questions, you answer them, answer them, answer them, just shouting them out loud as you listen on your iPod or you listen on your computer. You train yourself to think in English, understand instantly, speak very quickly.

It’s so powerful. This is the most powerful part of our system. So Rule # 7, the most powerful rule, use listen and answer stories. Train yourself to think in English. And that is our last rule. Congratulations, you did it. You have finished our video course.

You put them all together in your own independent learning plan using these 7 rules, and by doing this every single day you will improve.

Rule 6 For Excellent English

http://learnrealenglish.com/rule-6-for-excellent-english

Learn English online with English podcasts, real English articles, and other authentic materials. The best English courses use real English.

 Hi, this is Kristin Dodds, and I’m going to talk to you today about Rule # 6. Now Rule # 6 is a simple rule and it’s a fun rule. Rule # 6 will help you to learn idioms and slang. Rule # 6 will help you to speak excellent English. So what is Rule # 6?

Rule # 6 is use real English materials. Don’t use textbooks. Don’t use textbook CDs. In fact, burn your textbooks and burn your textbook CDs. Use real English materials. Now, how can you learn English using real English materials? By getting real materials that native English speakers would use. I’m going to discuss two examples of real English materials.

The first example are reading materials. Reading is a good choice if you like to read. Reading is great
for learning English. Don’t read textbooks. Find materials that are easy enough to understand when
you’re reading. And find materials that are fun and that interest you. So you might have to start out with children’s books. Or, if children’s books are too easy, you could try comic books. And if comic books are too easy, or maybe they don’t interest you, you could try teenager books. And by teenager, I mean, in America teenager is a young adult from the age of 13 to 19. And eventually you will advance to the level of being able to read magazines, or newspapers, or novels, or articles on the internet

The second example of real English materials are listening materials. Now listening is a great choice
because listening should be 80% of English learning. Don’t listen to textbook CDs though. Don’t listen to people acting out a dialog as if they’re talking in a real conversation. Find materials that are easy enough to listen to. And by this, I mean that you should be able to understand at least 95% of what you’re listening to, without pausing, and without looking in a dictionary.

So also find materials that are fun and find materials that interest you. So you may need to start with
children’s TV programs, or maybe children’s movies, or children’s audio books. Now I mentioned audio books in Rule #3 but I didn’t explain what they are. Audio books are simply a book that someone is reading and while they’re reading it, they’re recording it, so that you can then listen. Now if children’s TV programs or children’s movies or children’s audio books are too easy, then try teenager TV programs, or teenage movies, or teenage audio books. And then eventually, if you’re not already there, you’ll advance to the level of being able to listen to podcasts, or the news, or TV programs, adult TV programs, or adult movies, or adult audio books.

Now why not learn English by reading an English textbook or by listening to a textbook CD? Because these materials are not real, they’re not normal English. Textbooks teach formal English or written English. The vocabulary and the style are for writing. Textbook CDs have people who are acting out conversations. They’re not speaking naturally.

So for Rule # 6, remember, use real English materials. Find real English reading materials that are fun, interesting, and easy enough to understand. Find real English listening materials that are also fun, and easy, easy enough to understand and are also interesting.

Rule # 6 is simple, and it’s fun. Use real English materials. No more boring textbooks. No more boring textbook CDs, real English materials.

Okay, that’s all for Rule # 6. Tomorrow you’ll get Rule # 7. See you later. Bye-bye.

Rule 5 For Excellent English

http://learnrealenglish.com/rule-5-for-excellent-english

Use Point of View Stories

The best English exercises for spoken grammar are Point of View Stories. These English lessons teach you spoken grammar in a natural way.

 Hi, I’m Joe Weiss, one of the directors of Learn Real English. And today you are going to be learning Rule Number 5 for Excellent English Speaking. But before I talk about Rule Number 5, I want you to think back a couple of days to Rule Number 2.

Rule Number 2 is do not study grammar rules. When you study grammar rules, then you think about that grammar before you speak, and that causes you to hesitate. And you speak much slower and you
understand much slower. So since you learned Rule Number 2, you may have wondered, “Hmm, how
am I going to learn to speak English with correct grammar if I do not learn grammar rules?” Well, that’s what I am going to be teaching you today.

Okay, so how do we do it? Well, there is a simple, powerful technique. And there is research that shows that this technique is the best way to learn grammar, the best way to learn English grammar or grammar for any language. Okay, so what is this technique? Well the technique is called point of view stories, or sometimes it’s even called point of view mini-stories. Mini means small, so a mini-story is just a short story.

So Rule Number 5 is use point of view stories. Okay, so now that I’ve told you what the technique is, how do we use this technique? How do we use point of view stories? Well, first I tell you a story, a mini-story. Then, second I tell you the same story but this time I change the point of view of the story. So you may be wondering, what does it mean to change the point of view of the story? Well, one way to change the point of view of the story is to change the time that the story occurs.

So in the first story, I may tell you that story in the present. Then, in the second story, I tell you the same story in the past. So that is how I change the point of view. Another way to change the point of view is to change the person who is actually telling the story or narrating the story. Now, I’ll give you an example of that later in this video. But one important thing to remember is each time that you change the point of view of the story, you change the grammar in the story. So each time I tell you the story, I tell you the same story but you hear different grammar.

Okay, so now that I’ve told you how to use this technique, I think it’s a good idea that we practice. So
let’s practice this technique. So I will tell you a story in the present, right now. Okay, let’s start.
There is a man and his name is John. And John goes to the store and John buys a shirt, and the
shirt is blue. And John pays $20 for the shirt.

Okay, so that is our first story, told in the present. Now your job is easy. You just listen to this story;
listen, listen, and you just try to understand what is happening in the story. And you listen many times, because we want this information to be stored deeply in your memory. Okay, so how do we use these stories to learn grammar? Well, now I’m going to tell you the story again. Same story, but this time I’m going to tell you the story in the past. So let’s start the story.

One year ago, there was a man and his name was John. Now John went to the store and John
bought a shirt, and the shirt was blue. And John paid $20 for the shirt.

Okay, so that is the end of the story that I’m telling the second time, in the past this time. Now I want to tell you that this is just a very simple and short example. Now if you get any of our video lessons or our audio lessons, or if you come to our live event, like one of our seminars, the stories are much longer.

And they’re much more difficult. But in this easy example, we have just heard the story two times. We heard the same story, but one time we heard it in the past and one time we heard it in the present. So now you would listen to this story, listen many, many times. And when you listen, do not think about grammar. Do not think about what verb tense I’m using. Do not think about whether I’m using irregular verb form, no. Do not think about that. When you listen, you simply listen and you try to understand the story. That’s all you need to do. That’s why this method is so easy, yet so powerful. You hear these different stories and you hear them many times. You hear the same story with different grammar. And soon this grammar becomes deeply stored in your brain. And when you speak, you will be able to use this grammar.

Okay, let’s continue practicing this method. Now I am going to tell you this story in the future. So let’s start the story.

One year from now, in the future, there will be a man and his name is going to be John. Now John
is going to go to the store and John is going to buy a shirt, and the shirt will be blue. And John is
going to pay $20 for the shirt.

Okay, so now we have heard the same story three different ways. We have heard it in the past, the
present and the future. Now you notice this is the same story but the words in each story are different as we change the point of view. So once again, you would listen to this story many, many times. You would not think about grammar at all. You would just listen and try and understand the story.

Okay, now I would like to continue practicing this technique. I want to tell you one more story. This time I’m going to change the point of view of the story so that John, the character in our story, is telling the story. Let’s start the story.

I am a man and my name is John. I went to the store and I bought a shirt. The shirt was blue, and I paid $20 for the shirt.

Okay, so that is the end of our fourth story. The same story that we have heard each time, but the fourth time I am telling you this story. You can hear how the words in the story change, but the story stays the same. So this is a very powerful way for you to learn grammar. You will listen to this story again and again. And you will not think about grammar.

You will simply listen and try to understand what is happening in the story, that’s why this is such a
simple, powerful way for you to learn grammar. You hear correct grammar many, many times, and it is stored deeply in your brain. Then, when you speak English, you are able to use this correct grammar. And you will be able to speak quickly, easily and confidently. And your friends and coworkers will notice that your English has become stronger and that you speak more confidently.

When you use English using point of view stories, you learn English just like a native speaker would. You learn like a child would learn, by listening, listening, listening.

Okay, so Rule Number 5 is use point of view stories. They are a powerful, easy way to learn grammar
without memorizing boring grammar rules.

Okay, so this is the end of Rule Number 5. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you
soon.





Rule 4 For Excellent English

http://learnrealenglish.com/rule-4-for-excellent-english

Learn Deeply

English lessons must be learned deeply. Most people rush through their English lessons. Instead, go more slowly and repeat more often.

 Hi, I’m AJ Hoge, one of the teachers of Learn Real English. Welcome to day 4 of our video course.
Secret # 4, Rule # 4 is this: learn deeply. Learn deeply. So what does that mean? Well, of course, deep, if you think of water, like the ocean, deep means something goes down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, very, very far. The opposite of deep is shallow, meaning does not go down far, it’s just a short little bit.

So what does that mean when we’re talking about learning? Well, you need to think about like your mind, your brain. So if you learn something deeply, the idea is that it goes deep, deep, deep. It goes into your brain very far, meaning that it’s part of you. You’ll never, never, never forget it. You totally master it. It becomes simple and easy and automatic. That’s the idea of learn deeply.

See, you need to think about speaking English like a sport. You see, English learning, it’s not like math or science. It’s not just something that you memorize. It’s actually a skill that you need to use, right? You need to perform. It doesn’t matter how much you remember. What matters is can you do it when you’re talking in a real conversation. Can you understand instantly and quickly what the other person is saying? When they ask you questions, can you understand the question instantly and respond, answer immediately? When you speak, can you speak easily and automatically without stopping, without thinking, without worrying about grammar rules, without all of those problems, without feeling nervous, right?

It doesn’t matter what you remember for a test. What matters, what’s important is what you can actually do in a real situation. If you’re having a job interview in English, can you do it? Can you actually do it? It doesn’t matter what happens on the test. What matters is when you’re facing that other person, how well do you understand? How well do you speak? How relaxed do you feel? How confident are you? Right? That’s what you want.

You want to actually be able to do it. And that’s more like a sport. And so you need to start learning
English like you’re training, like you’re preparing for a sport. And that’s why learning deeply is so
important.

Let’s imagine this. Let’s imagine, let’s say a basketball player. Now basketball players, they have to be very, very good at the basics, the most important parts of playing basketball. That is the most important thing. If you ever watch interviews with the really great basketball players, the top ones, they will always say that the basic skills are the most important. Now these guys can do very advanced, amazing things.

But if you listen to these interviews, they always say that mostly what they practice are the basic skills, the basic skill of shooting. They will practice that basic skill of shooting, shooting and shooting, thousands and thousands and thousands of times. Even though they are already one of the best in the world, still every day they practice that basic skill again and again. Or dribbling, which is bouncing the ball, right? And passing it, those super basic skills they continue practicing them forever.

They practice those skills thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of times. So that they never have to think about them, so during a game they just shoot. They don’t think about their arm and what they do with their legs, no. It’s so automatic. They’ve practiced it so many times. It’s so deep in their brain that they just do it. It’s totally without effort, super easy, same with passing, same with bouncing and dribbling.

Well that’s what you need to do with English. You need to have that same feeling that when you speak, there’s no effort, there’s no thinking. It just comes out easily and automatically. And the only way you do that is by focusing on deep learning. It means you totally master something. See, this is the problem in school. In school, teachers and schools are always trying to make you go faster, faster, faster, more, more, more, more.

You never learn anything deeply, right? They’ll teach you the past tense, for example. And maybe you’ll practice it two, three, four weeks. And then take a test. And then you go to the next chapter and they teach you, y’know, the past progressive or, y’know, the present perfect, or some other verb tense. And you study that one for a few weeks. And then they teach you another one, and then another one, and another one.

But you never really learn the past tense deeply. And so you’re getting all these verb tenses and all this grammar and this vocabulary, but you never learn any of it deeply so that you can use it automatically without thinking. It’s always more, more, more, faster, faster, faster. That is the opposite of deep learning.

What you need to do is slow down and repeat more. Repetition is the mother of skill, that’s a Tony
Robbins quote and I love it. It means if you really want to be skillful at something, you really want to be able to do something well, you have to repeat it many, many, many times. That means, for example, with the past tense, you need to hear that thousands upon thousands and thousands and thousands of times correctly so that it goes so deep inside you that you just feel it. You know when it’s correct. You know how to use it and you never have to think of it.

Of course, when I speak English and use the past tense, I never think about grammar rules at all, or any verb tense. I don’t think about them, because I’ve heard them so many times. And especially when I was a child nobody forced me to study advanced grammar rules. Nobody confused me with that. Instead I listened to lots of simple language, lots of simple basic language, basic sentences, basic grammar, from my family for several years. And I didn’t learn that advanced stuff until much later, until I had totally mastered the basics.

So that’s what you need to do, too. You need to really start focusing on repeating more. So that means
that when you have a lesson, for example, let’s say you’re using one of our lessons. Instead of just
studying it a couple of days and then going to the next one, and then study that one a few days, and then going to the next one, and trying to go very fast, you’ll do the opposite. You’ll take one lesson set. You’ll listen to it every day for one week or two weeks, maybe even longer.

You will keep listening to it every single day, maybe one hour a day, until you totally know it deeply inside and you can use it easily. So that when you’re listening to that lesson you understand all of it instantly. No thought, nothing, it’s super easy. And then you’ll still listen a few more days. And that’s how you will get deep inside of you so that you can stop translating and stop thinking and just use English automatically, effortlessly.

So learn deeply means repeat everything a lot, many, many, many times. So you want every audio that you listen to, every lesson set from us that you listen to. You want to listen to it for at least seven days and two weeks is even better, every single day for 14 days, or every single day for seven days, between that amount of time. So that at the end of that you totally and completely know it very well.

And in every one of our lessons, we’re going to repeat the basics, the most important parts of the
language again and again and again. So when you go to the next lesson, you’re still going to get a lot of repetition. And when you go to the next one, you’ll get a lot of repetition. And in this way we train you, we teach you to not only know English for a test, but to actually use it correctly and easily every time. And that’s what you really want.

And that’s it. That is Rule # 4: learn deeply. Alright, we’ll see you again tomorrow. Have a great day.
Bye-bye.




Rule 3 For Excellent English

http://learnrealenglish.com/rule-3-for-excellent-english

Listen First

English listening is the key to great English speaking. Listen to English every day and focus on mastering English listening first.

 Hi, this is Kristin Dodds. Welcome to Rule # 3. Rule # 3 is very simple. It’s very easy and it’s very
powerful. In fact, it’s the most important rule. What is this rule? Well, Rule # 3 is the listen first rule.
What do I mean by listen first? I mean learn with your ears and not with your eyes. So learn with your ears, not with your eyes. Listen, listen, listen. Ideally, you want to listen for six months or longer if possible before speaking.

Listening is the key to fluency. Now why focus on listening first? Why learn with your ears and not with your eyes? With listening you will learn grammar. You will learn vocabulary. You will understand better and you will get faster. There is a lot of research about listening first. Listening is the most important thing you can do.

If you learned English the way that I learned French, in middle school, high school and college, or
university, then you probably have problems speaking English, because in school you learned with your eyes. For example, there was a focus on textbooks, on learning from textbooks. You learned how to read English. You learned how to write English. You learned how to think about English. So that you probably know a lot of grammar rules. You probably know more grammar rules than a native English speaker.

That’s because native English speakers don’t learn with their eyes. They learn with their ears. A baby
doesn’t pick up a textbook and start studying grammar rules. A baby does not learn with their eyes. A
baby learns with the ears by listening. A baby learns by listening to the parents make sounds and speak to them. A baby just listens and listens and listens, for a year, a year and a half to two years, before they start speaking.

So how must you learn English? You must learn English by listening first. You must listen first if you
want to speak English automatically, easily, quickly and correctly. Now, there are two important things to remember with Rule # 3. The first thing is what do you listen to. You want to make sure that you are listening to easy English. So what do I mean by easy English? I mean that you want to be able to understand 95% or more of the English you’re listening to without stopping or without using a dictionary.

So, for example, you might listen to a children’s program. Or you might listen to a children’s audio book. Another book would be a children’s movie. If these are too easy, then increase the level a little bit. You could listen to a teenager’s program. Now by teenager, I mean, in American years, teenager would 13, 14, 15, up to 19 years old. So if a children’s program or audio book is too easy, try listening to a teenager program or audio book, teenager movie. These are all examples of things that you can listen to for easy English.

It is okay to listen to something that’s a little bit difficult if you have the text. For example, if you’re
listening to an English lesson, as long as you have the text, that’s okay. As long as you can read along, that’s okay. Another example would be an audio article. Or a speech, as long as you have the text these things would be okay.

Second, the second important thing I want you to remember is when do you listen. You want to listen all the time. So get an mp3 player or get an iPod and listen, listen, listen. Listen all the time. Listen on your way to work. Listen on your lunch break. Listen when you’re exercising. Listen on your way home from work. Listen in the evenings or before you go to bed. Listen as much as you can.

Now Rule # 3, listen first, it’s super easy and super powerful. Focus on learning with your ears and not with your eyes. Remember, it’s the most powerful rule.

Okay, that’s all for Rule # 3. Tomorrow you’ll receive Rule # 4 so see you later. See you next time. Bye.
