    Students learn their lessons in class. In class, teachers teach them. Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher. Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not. There is another way to learn. That is, students can teach themselves. For example, if you cannot remember anything when you are doing your homework, you can look through（浏览） your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it's not a difficult thing. We can do it at any place and at any time.

    How to teach yourself? The first thing you must do is to read. Read something interesting. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. Many clever students often do this. The questions are about something you don't understand or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by thinking hard, by reading the texts or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. These are the ways of teaching yourself. And if you do these things for a long time, you can succeed（成功）in your study.

Do you know about rice? Rice is a very important kind of food for more than half of the world's people. Rice is eaten at every meal in many Asian countries, such as Japan, Korea and India. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} In China, scientists discovered the rice fields that were over 8,000 years old. That means rice has been a part of life in China for a very long time. Growing and cooking rice are a part of China's culture. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} They include sweet rice, wild rice, and brown rice. Rice is low in salt and fat. Rice is grown in many countries of the world. The fields growing rice are called paddies (稻田). {#blank#}3{#/blank#}To produce more rice, farmers get water inside the paddies. 

Rice is used to make a lot of food in China, such as rice cakes and noodles. In many other countries, it is good with many dishes. For example, it is good with onions and beef, tomatoes and eggs and orange chicken. Before we make these dishes, we must learn how to cook rice. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Put two cups of rice in a pot. Wash the rice with some cold water. After that, add three cups of water. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Next cover the pot and lower the heat. Cook for another 15 minutes. Two cups of uncooked rice will become 6 cups of cooked rice.

A. It's really easy for most people, so you can try it yourself.

We all know June 1st is Children's Day. But it is the World Milk Day, too. People in other(其他的) countries started to drink milk about 8,000 years ago. And in China people started to drink it about 1000 years ago. Why do people drink milk? Let's know more about it. 

Milk is great, because it has a lot of calcium(钙). Calcium can help us grow taller and calcium is good for our teeth and bones. So we should all get into the habit of drinking milk. Then when should we drink milk? Breakfast is very important for a day's study and work. It's good to drink a cup of milk for breakfast in the morning. A cup of warm milk helps us have a good sleep. So drinking some milk in the evening is good, too. Adults(成人) need to drink as much as 300ml of milk, and children need to drink 500ml of milk every day. How much milk do you drink every day? Health always comes first in our life, so, let's drink milk every day!
