Feel tired lately？ Has a doctor said he cant find anything wrong with you？ Perhaps he has sent you to a hospital， but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.

Then， consider this： you might be in a state of sub-health.

Sub-health， also called the third state or gray state， is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.

According to the survey by the National Health Organization， over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.

Symptoms include a lack of energy， depression， slow reactions， insomnia， anger， and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath， sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health， according to some medical experts， is to form good living habits， alternate work and 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 other 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 digestive tract （消化道）. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.

In the past， people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However， in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example， Ryan Stewart， a graduate of San Jose State University， got a degree in religious studies， but he has not got any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and dont have jobs， so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago， the future looked bright for his class of 2009. There were many high-tech job opportunities， graduates received many job offers， and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However， “Times have changed. Its a new market” according to an officer of the university.

The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations， they have had several short-time jobs， and they majored in fields that are still paying well， such as accounting or nursing.

Even teaching is not a safe profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher， but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good job even in a bad economy.

In conclusion， these days a college degree does not lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.

D. It would guarantee their quick lift in their position.

6. Why has Ryan Stewart not got any job offer？

B. He wants to find a job with very high salary.

C. He has not received a degree in the university.

D. The job market has changed greatly since 2009.

7. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher？

A. Teachers are well-paid.

B. He majored in teaching in the university.

C. The job is less challenging than high-tech ones.

D. The career wont be influenced by economy.

8. What can be concluded from the passage？

A. Graduates must prepare early to find jobs.
