    Sometimes the world may feel like an unhappy place. However, you can make a difference. If you make even a person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.

Send a handwritten letter

    In this age where everything is sent by email, it is a shock to receive a letter through the post. Writing a few words on paper to a friend is an easy way to make one smile. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day- all for the price of a stamp！

Volunteer

    Volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. It requires (需要 ) some time and research to find the perfect project before volunteering. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from the shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is unbelievable. There are so many chances, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your time-it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.

Make something for a special person

    Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else M shows how much you appreciate (感激 ) them. Even if you think you are not creative, the receiver will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!

Tell someone "I love you"

    It can be anyone-a family member or a friend. You don't even have to say "I love you". Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.

    We can see many people riding shared bikes in China now. Bike-sharing helps people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

    This kind of bike has GPS or Bluetooth on it. If you have a smart phone, you can use it. First, you have to download(下载)an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan(扫描)the QR code on the bike and you will get the bike. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. Every hour you ride, you need to pay only one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?

    Science changes our lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing makes our life easier. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.

Read the passage and answer the following questions. (每题答案不超过5个单词)

    Every day on Amelia's way to work she had to pass a slum(贫民窟) .Though she was a social worker, she had never paid much attention to it.

    This changed when she met a boy named Jack. Jack knew that she was the head of social services, and was sure she could help. He reached out his hand to touch her, and said, "Can you help me? I'm looking hard for my dad."

    His hands were so cold that Amelia could not help holding them. She said, "What's up? ""My mum is sick and too weak to get up. Her birthday is coming. I know my father's coming back would be the best present. We really love him, and need him." "So what's his name? What does he do?" Amelia asked. He said, "I've no idea. My mum said he had left us before I was two years old." Amelia was deeply moved and said, "Take me to your home, son."

    He led her to a small house. Looking around, there was nothing in it except for a small bed. A woman was sitting on it and as soon as Amelia saw her, she knew her life was near its end. She said to Amelia, "Please find a home for my son. Please don't leave him alone in the world. "With tears running from her eyes, Amelia took her hand and said," I will take care of him and love him as my own son." In fact, since her husband and she had no children, they had been wanting a child for a long time.

    Ever since Amelia took Jack into her home, life is full of joy and laughter. She got the best present in return for her kindness.

    It seems like every time you turn around, someone is talking about dieting. During gym class your best friend always complains about her "big" hips and how she's going on a diet to get rid of them. This focus on weight and dieting may leave you wondering whether you need to go on a diet yourself.

    The truth is that not all teens who diet actually need to lose weight. Because teens are still growing, dieting can sometimes be harmful to their developing bodies. Other teens may mistakenly think that in order to be in top form for their chosen sport, they need to be as thin as possible.

    The best person to see when you have a question about dieting is your doctor. Your doctor can help you determine what is a healthy weight for your body size and shape. He or she can help you decide whether you need to be on a diet at all.

    There are healthy and unhealthy ways to lose weight, and in the long run you are better off taking the healthy route. If you and your doctor do decide that going on a diet is the right thing for you, he or she can help you come up with a plan.

    Even without seeing your doctor, you can make smart food choices that will keep you healthy. Instead of chewing (嚼) down on chips when you get home from school, try a piece of fruit or some vegetables.

    Simple low—fat substitutions (替代品) can make a huge difference in your calorie intake as well. For example, skim or low—fat milk or water are better drink choices when you're thirsty—soda and fruit drinks are loaded with calories and sugar and short on nutrition (营养).

    Another thing to keep in mind is that exercise can help you feel and look better. Regular exercise tones your muscles while you burn calories and fat, and it makes you look slimmer. Remember that toning up takes time. Running the mile in gym class once a year won't make a difference in overall weight loss, so start slowly and work up to it.

    Whether you go on a diet or not, exercising and healthy eating are excellent ways to keep your body in great shape Cutting down on the time you spend in front of the computer or TV can help you boost your activity level and may even help you snack less. And research shows that people who exercise regularly are more likely to maintain their new weight if they've lost weight. So, get moving and keep your health on track!
