    In northern Scotland there is a long deep lake called Loch Ness.  More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK.  People  say  a  big monster (怪兽)  lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

    The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

    There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn't live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.

Human's Greatest Achievements

    The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics(抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press? Without the printing press, you wouldn't be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    What about arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics?{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Finally, we must not forget humans' early achievements{#blank#}4{#/blank#}We can't imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.

    What are humans' greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think? 

A. We could probably live without them, but life wouldn't be as interesting.

B. Is it something that makes us rich or happy or save lives?

C. And is Mickey Mouse as important an achievement as going to space?

D. They used fire for cooking and heating and invented the wheel.

E. Many of humans' great achievements are in science and technology.

    School is not the safe place as it used to be. How to help students stay away from danger? There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way. Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in NO.1 Middle School.

    Milk Smith: About Sports Safety

    Once, our head teacher made up a story about sports safety. All we needed to do was to point out safe and unsafe sports behaviour in the story. From this lesson, we knew we should always do warm-up exercises before playing sports and drink some water after that.

    Amy Young: About Classroom Safety

    Yes, making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves. We were once asked to make up a story about a boy called Naughty. He always did something naughty in the classroom and got himself into trouble. In this way, we learned to behave well and get on well with each other.

    Frank Green: About Fire Safety

    In our school, we have a fire emergency response practice(火灾应急演习) in September every year. So we know where to go if there is a fire in school. We learn to use the fire extinguisher(灭火器), too. But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire alone. It's too dangerous for young students like us.

    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!
