Jenny is an English girl. She is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (九) years old. Today is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (三月) 16th. It's her birthday. She wants to have a birthday {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（晚会）. It is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (在) seven this evening. But her uncle and aunt are{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (迟到的).She {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (见面) five of her friends. They buy her a big birthday cake，two boxes of{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (牛奶), a basket of fruit, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (一些) school things. Jenny wears a{#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( 绿色) sweater and brown trousers. She looks very nice. They all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (度过) a good time.

    Last week I stayed at home alone for the first time. My parents had a long-time {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(讨论) about who would go to Beijing to take care of my {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(生病的) brother. Finally I asked them to go together and I'm sure I can take good care of myself at home. In the station I said goodbye to my parents. When the train went away I couldn't hold back my tears though there were so many {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(乘客).

    The first night wasn't easy. I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(醒来) up at midnight. I stayed in the dark and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(几乎) cried out again. But soon I calmed down and started to read the book beside my bed. I didn't fall asleep {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(直到) 2 o'clock.

    I got up early the next morning. I went to school after a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (简单的) breakfast. I told my friend Lin Li my experience last night.  He encouraged me "Don't be afraid of that. We are teenagers. We should learn to look after {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（我们自己). "From then on I told myself to be brave. I spent happy days at school and after school I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(关) the door when I got home and seldom watched TV or played computer games. I finished my homework carefully. On the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(第九)day, my parents came back home- They were proud of me.

Do you know many students aren't healthy?

Now many students know sports are good for their health. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Some of them only watch them on TV. What's more(而且), many of them only like watching TV and playing computer games. They often say, "{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Play basketball? Oh, it sounds difficult. "

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} They don't have carrots for lunch and they don't have tomatoes for dinner. But vegetables and fruit are healthy food. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} But they like junk food (垃圾食品). {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

If (如果) you would like to be healthy, eat vegetables and play sports every day. 
 

When you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using then again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(负有责任) and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they usually have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things. They cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things as much as possible.
