Last summer， Mark became a middle school student．He took an English test in the first month． Mark was a good student and he worked hard．He finished the questions easily until he read the last one：“Everyone sees our school's gatekeeper every day．What's his first name?”

    Of course，this question is a little special．Mark saw the man some times．He was tall and had a square face．But Mark didn't talk with him and didn't know his first name．The test was over．Then one student asked the teacher，“Is the last question very important in this test?”，“Yes，”said the teacher．“In our life，we will meet many people．Everyone is important．You should care about them．You may only smile at them or say 'hello' to them．”

    Mark never forgot that question．He also learned that man's first name．It was William．

    My name is Alice. I am 14 years old. I have good eating habits(饮食习惯).

    For breakfast, I have two eggs and some bread. I don't like milk, but I have some milk too. Because milk is healthy. For lunch, I have rice with meat and vegetables. Chicken is my favourite meat. Carrots are my favourite vegetable. They are very healthy. I have vegetables and noodles for dinner. After dinner, I eat some fruit. Bananas and apples are my favourite fruit. What food don't I like? Hamburgers! They aren't healthy.

    Good eating habits help me to be healthy.

    Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

    In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!

    No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.

    The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.

    False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.

    Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don't have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.

    Food is life; it gives us the nourishment(营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good.

    How does a food became comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives. "When I was a child, my mother made a kind of delicious soup; I loved it. Now, I often eat this kind of soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better," says one of Wansink's friends.

    Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink's research at the University of Illinois says "yes". In his study, the favourite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.

    IG, a Chinese esports club, won the world best title in LOL(League of Legends)in 2018. So what is esports?

    Esports(Electronic Sports)is a kind of competition using video games between smart players. It is not only a simple game, but a sport in which players use electronic equipment(电子设备)to play with each other in intelligence(智慧).

    This kind of sport started ten years ago, but most people usually hold the opinion that playing online games has no good but taking one's mind away from their study or work. However, esports is not online games. In fact, there are some differences between them:

    First, the basic features(基本特征). Online games are for fun but esports is a sport. Esports is an intellectual(智力的)competition between people in a team.

    Second, the game rules. Esports has clear game rules. Its biggest feature is strict time and round limitations(限制). However, online games have less clear rules than esports. Without time limit, it's easy for young people to be addicted to(沉迷)it.

    Third, the sports spirit(精神). Esports competitions between players pay great attention(注意力)to fair(公平的)sports spirit. Some online games only need to pay money to get gifts, which is an important difference between esports and online games.

    In the coming 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, esports will officially be a medal event(正式项目). Esports is a new sporting activity. It will take a long time to become a popular sport like NBA(the National Basketball Association of the US). Let's have a better thinking of esports and expect its bright(光明的) future.
