It's getting hotter and hotter outside. Summer is already here! Summer means high temperature, more outdoor activities and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. How can we stay fit in this exciting season? Here are some good ideas:

 Eat and drink properly

 What is healthy to eat in summer? Fresh and light food. Fish can be a good choice. It can keep your body energetic and help fight against the burning sun. Colorful fruit and vegetables is another good choice. They not only please your eyes, but are full of healthy chemicals(化学物质). Tomatoes can help protect your skin against sunburn. Blueberries are good for your brain and eyes. The more color, the better!

With all those summertime activities you will be thirsty. What to drink? Water. Water has zero calories（卡路里）and is the perfect drink to stop you thirst. Try not to drink too many energy drinks, sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine（咖啡因）in them.

 Stay active and cool

Summer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities and play. It's also a good time to lose weight. If you are lucky enough to be near a body of water, try water sports like swimming, surfing, water skiing and so on. These sports keep you cool and active at the same time. You'll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well.

 Be careful of the          

Summer allows us more chances to get outside, but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine. If you are going outside, keep away from the sun when it's the strongest – usually between 11a.m. and 3p.m.. If you have to stay in the sun for a long time, sunscreen（防晒霜），a big hat and a long-sleeve jacket will be necessary.

The Winning Team

Peter had the worst day of his life. As he walked home alone, he felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? ①这让他很生气。His team had lost the game because of his mistakes. He let his whole team down. He was worried that his coach might kick him off the team. 

Peter went home without saying a word, but his feelings were written on his face. 

After his father knew what had happened, he told him not to be too hard on himself. After all. winning or losing is only half of the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with others and learning from mistakes. Besides, soccer is about team effort, so teammates should support each other. 

The next day, Peter said sorry to his teammates and asked them to pull together. To his surprise, they all nodded in agreement. "Yeah. "they said. "Don't worry about it. It's never just one person's

fault. ②We should think about how we can do better next time. "Peter felt lucky to be on a winning team. 

A mother returned home from work. She was tired after working 1 long hours. Her 8-year-old son was waiting for her. He wanted 2 her something about his younger brother. "While I 3 outside, Tyler took his crayons and wrote on the wall! He wrote on 4 wall in the living room. 5 dirty the wall is! I told him you would be angry with him for doing it again". The mother frowned (皱眉), "Where is your little brother now?" "He's in the bedroom. He knows that it's not good to do that." She walked to Tyler's bedroom. She called 6 full name when she opened the door. 

For the next 10 minutes, she was angry 7 shouted at the little boy. The more she shouted, the 8 she was. Then she went to the living room to see what the wall was like. 9 she saw the wall, she felt moved (感动的) and her eyes were full of tears (眼泪). It said "I love Mommy" and there were some 10 . Here is a lesson for everyone: we should spend more time playing with the children at home. 

I never thought about being a collector.  But a few years ago all my friends had the hobby of 1 something.  Some of them collected stones.  Some collected dolls.  Others collected postcards.  I thought I should collect something too.  I wanted to collect something 2 because I didn't want to follow others.  3 , I decided to collect glasses from different places.  When I went to a new place, I 4 one there.  I thought this would make me think of all the places I visited. 

Soon all my friends heard of my hobby and 5 buying me glasses from all the places they visited.  Therefore, my 6 grew bigger and bigger.  I didn't have enough 7 for them.  It was 8 as I didn't even want glasses from places I had not visited.  Finally I 9 them all to my friend Jenny.  She was just starting a 10 collection. 

From my story, I want to tell you something: Do not collect things that you don't want. 

Bird watching is getting popular. Great bird watchers can 1  different birds by their looks and songs. It is easy for 2  to tell the differences between any two kinds of common birds. 

Mr Zhang is a(n)3  in Shanghai. He likes watching birds. In his free time, he likes to walk in the 4 . There he can hear birds sing, enjoy 5  trees reaching up to the sky and see some animals run. Watching 6  is his favourite activity in the forest. He 7  an ecological protection(生态 保护) group last year. Every year the group 8  several talks. The members in the group are bird lovers or bird watchers. During their talks, they share a lot about birds 9  each other. Some birds are common and some are rare(稀有的). Each member can also give his or her 10  about how to protect birds and then they take action. 

Mr Zhang says, " Being a computer engineer is really 11 . Every day I need to 12  in front of the computer for a long time and do the same things again and again. I always feel bored with my job, 13  I can't give it up. After I joined the ecological protection group, I always feel as 14  as a clam. "

To Mr Zhang, bird watching is his 15 . Trying to help protect birds is his duty.
