Kids' health

Flu is a common illness. Kids easily catch the flu in winter months. It can pass from one person to another very quickly. Sometimes the flu is just like a common cold. In fact, it can cause serious illness. But don't worry, most people can be well without any problem.

Symptoms(症状): fever, cough,  headache,  sore throat,  feel tired

What to do:

If your kid gets the flu:

①Let your kid have a rest as much as possible.

②Ask your kid to drink more hot water.

③Take your kid's temperature sometimes.

Don't give cough or cold medicine to children under 6 years old (call the doctor first.)

When the following happen:

①Your kid's illness gets worse;

②Your kid has a severe(剧烈的) cough or headache;

③Your kid has trouble breathing;

④Your kid has a fever and is 3 months old or younger.

You must take your kid to the hospital right away.

Life is like a journey. On the way, we have happiness and sadness.It's not difficult for anyone around you to tell his regrets. When we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. How can we avoid future regrets?

Make better plans

If you start to do something, you'd better make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last.  If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.

Live a more active life

You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. "Thank you" can bring a smile to someone's face.

Find the right friend

A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always make your ideas better. That little help may get you good results.

Never fear failure

Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed.We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

Life is good. We don't have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.

What we need to do is to stay focused on getting our homework done well.

One of the first is to eat and drink before starting. I don't want to get hungry or thirsty when I'm doing my homework. Eating things that are healthy and that will give you energy for a long time, such as an apple or a cheese stick—not things that will quickly wear off, like sweets.

Make sure your work area has good lighting. You don't want to hurt your eyes while reading. It should also have a table and a comfortable chair.

Some people like to have music going. This is fine if you want it, but try to avoid loud songs, since these can distract you.

Try not to do your homework in the kitchen, where people might be cooking, the living room, where kids may be playing, and keep away from the computer and the television. The best places are your desk, if you have one, and the dining room table.

Once you have a good place to study, and feel ready, take out everything you need to do an assignment. You should have your agenda (your list of assignments and when they should be handed in). Decide which will take the most time, and do them last; do the easier assignments first to give yourself plenty of time to do the harder ones.

How to Stay Focused on Homework

Comfort

①Eating and drinking something is necessary before starting your homework.

②Make sure work area  .

③Choose  that won't distract you when you're working.

Places

Avoid the kitchen and the living room and keep away from the computer and the  .

Organization

① all the assignments you have to do and when you have to finish them..

②DO the easiest first so that you can have enough time to do the  later.

For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants—the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark(树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal(药用) values of some plants. Let's look at some examples.

Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.

In some areas, malaria(疟疾) has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.

In Germany, some scientists studied garlic(大蒜)for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque(血小板)because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.

众所周知，世界上大约有25万种开花植物。 Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.

One day, while I  in my car in a parking area, I noticed a young boy in front of my car. "What is the boy doing?" I asked myself and looked closely. "Oh, he is up a coin from the ground." When he stood up, we saw each other . He was not  than ten and was wearing one blue glove(手套) and one brown glove. His coat was too small for .

As he walked away, I saw his shoes, which  too old to wear. I rolled down my window and called him over.

I asked him  he needed some money. He replied, "No. That's okay." The parking area was wet. I could tell that his  were cold because he kept moving his weight from one foot to the other. "Please," I held out a five-dollar bill(钞票). "It's not much, but when the money is shared, it is much more  ," I said. He took off one of his gloves and took the money from my hand. His small hand was red and cold.

He smiled and went away  saying "Thank you!" to me. That smile made me feel warm in the cold winter.
