Keeping Healthy

    (Kangkang's father, Dr. Li, is giving a talk about health to the students.)

    You need to have healthy eating {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (习惯). Breakfast gives you enough energy for the morning. So don't go to school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it. Fruit and vegetables are good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your health, but fast food, like potato chips, will make you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} /fæt/ and unhealthy. So eat the right food to keep you healthy.

    Playing sports can also help you keep fit. But sometimes accidents can {#blank#}5{#/blank#}/'hæp(ə)n/, so try to stay safe when you play them. It's necessary for you to learn about first aid. Then you can help yourselves or others if an accident happens.

    Happiness is important for your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(健康). It is the best medicine. When you are ill, try to be happy and you'll feel better. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} {#blank#}8{#/blank#} {#blank#}9{#/blank#} {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(另一方面), you may feel ill if you are always unhappy. So, be happy to be healthy.

    You must stay away from smoking and drinking. Many students think it's cool to smoke and drink. But they don't know smoking or drinking can cause many illnesses. You should {#blank#}11{#/blank#} {#blank#}12{#/blank#} {#blank#}13{#/blank#}(拒绝) smoking and drinking.

Dear Betty,

We don't have any classes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Saturdays or Sundays. My father and mother {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) teachers. They say that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (Chinese) is great, and that Chinese people are very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (friend). I want {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (travel) around China. I think it will be very interesting, won't it? I like reading. Now, I am reading {#blank#}7{#/blank#} book of Chinese stories. They are very interesting. My brothers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I like playing football and basketball. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} do you like to do?

    Let's be friends. Please {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (writing) soon.

    More and more families go on a car trip each year. But the thought of trouble on the road may p{#blank#}1{#/blank#} you from going out. To avoid(避免)trouble, you need to m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a careful plan for your trip.

    First of all, choose a proper route for your trip. Consider (考虑)w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} you are going and find some possible routes to it. Traffic and the t{#blank#}4{#/blank#} that you will spend on the road must be considered when you decide one.

    Consider your luggage(行李) needs. B{#blank#}5{#/blank#} you begin packing your things, think about how many people will be in your car and how much space they will need in order to t{#blank#}6{#/blank#} comfortably.

    Try to avoid busy time. Usually highways are busier on Friday and Sunday, so going on Tuesday or T{#blank#}7{#/blank#} will help you to avoid traffic jams. Driving at night is also a great way to miss the traffic and the kids can sleep d{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the trip.

    F{#blank#}9{#/blank#} , don't forget to check your car carefully before leaving so that you can have a s{#blank#}10{#/blank#} trip.

    Mrs. Black has three daughters. Sue is the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (young) of the three. She is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(outgoing) than her two sisters. She always tells some funny jokes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) people laugh. At school, her teacher thinks that Sue is the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hard-working) student and that she does thing the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (carefully).

    Sue has a dream she want {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) a reporter. To achieve (实现) her dream, Sue makes a plan. First she decides {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (join) the writing Club to practice writing. Second, she tries {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (talk) with her penfriends in different languages. To meet more people and talk with them, Sue plans {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(work) in some public (公共的) places. I'm sure she will be one of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (famous) reporters in the world. Good luck to her!

    Holding doors open for people behind you, picking up litter, thanking people… these acts of kindness seem very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. But students at James Middle School know that such small acts make the world a better place.

    Eighth-graders from James Middle School, took part in the Random Acts of Kindness Week{#blank#}2{#/blank#}March 31 to April 4. During the week, they tried their best to do kind things for others. Celeste Murray, an English teacher at the school, started the activity. Since she was little, she has always tried to do small acts of kindness in her daily life. "I believe the world is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}by small things," she told the newspaper The Daily Times. Over the week, to her surprise, Murray also{#blank#}4{#/blank#}great changes in her class.

    Before that, she always needed to ask her{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to push the chairs in or turn off the lights before they leave the classroom. Now, the students do those things by{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. "The teachers have a lot of work," Said Jordon, one of Murray's students. He learned to care more about others. Eliza, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}student, gave out more praises（赞扬） to others. "It makes them feel happy and successful," she said. The activity made students feel that they can make a difference. Hailey decides to continue to do at least one act of kindness every week, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}busy she is. She believes her acts could encourage others.
