Among the teachers in my life，there is one person I called“Old Uncle”．I first met with him a decade ago when I was in primary school．{#blank#}1{#/blank#} During those rides，Old Uncle told me about his life．

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} He made a living by riding tricycles(三轮车)and raised the children on his own．His daughter gave up the chance to go to college so that the younger brother would have money to go after his future．Later on，she became a nurse at a hospital through her hard work．

    For each ride，Old Uncle should charge me five yuan．However，he insisted on accepting only four from me．In our conversations，he told me to always have a good heart，to be a good student，child and person．{#blank#}3{#/blank#} More movingly，every time he took me to school，he asked whether I had eaten breakfast and would try to offer me biscuits．

    Old Uncle was one of the early people who led me to explore pain and suffering，  unintentionally and naturally，through stories and giving．He didn't complain(抱怨)about the hardships he had suffered in life．{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Ten years later as I thought back to the scene，I came to realize that Old Uncle and I shared space，and connected through our spirit．{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A．I knew that Old Uncle lived a difficult life．

B．Old Uncle would pay the price for his behavior．

C．He took me to school in his tricycle every morning．

D．Old Uncle guided me to see the beauty of human nature．

E．Instead，he shared peacefully as if they weren't happening on him．

F．His wife had passed away when their two children were still young．

G．He said this with so much caring that I listened with my whole heart．

How to protect your ears

    You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So no harm done…right?

Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious— and irreversible(无法治愈的)— hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:

    Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Turn it down.

    Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.

    Take breaks.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.

A. Use earplugs.

B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.

C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.

D. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.

E. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.

F. Unfortunately, there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.

G. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.

Large meals make people full and sleepy. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} We want our children to learn, not falling asleep at their desks, so let's keep those lunches on the lighter side. You can do this if you provide them with a good breakfast.

By working beside your children and discussing what they eat for lunch, you are helping them understand the importance of whole foods and the avoidance of junk foods. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} As they get older, these good habits will stay with them. They will learn that these types of food are beneficial to them. Try to let them see that the food choices they are making will help them feel so much better.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I know of one family that actually had the food pyramid on the wall of their kitchen and it helped their children pick out what foods they wanted. Everyone got a chance to decide what to eat, but they had to pick protein, vegetables and fruit. Besides, the mother had a book with recipes for healthy foods. All of the recipes had pictures of what the food looked like. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Unlike today, when we grew up we played outside, rode our bikes, ran around, and the list goes on and on. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} So apart from the above healthy eating choices, you need to plan some activities for your children today other than the television or video games.

A. We didn't have TV or computer games.

B. How are children helped to choose their food?

C. You are helping them make smart informed choices.

D. Think what large meals do to your children at school.

E. What adults eat daily has a great effect on their children.

F. So children knew what healthy foods they should choose.

G. The recipes for children should mainly include healthy foods.

Spring and summer are the best seasons of the year for lots of activities, especially jogging (慢跑). This kind of running is the choice of many people who live in the city, work in the office and want to keep healthy. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Make good preparations before jogging.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. There, you'll have an opportunity to find and buy all the necessary sportswear. Pay attention to the selection of jogging shoes, if you don't want to suffer from the feeling of heaviness, pain and leg swelling after the run. With all these pieces of wisdom; your body will be truly grateful to you.

Do fit warm-up activities.

Every runner, especially the beginner should know that all physical activities without a proper warm-up can cause a terrible pain and result in harm to muscles. It will probably lead to. final discomfort in your body oreven disease. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Actually, it usually just takes you 15 minutes to increase the range of motion of ourjoints and warm up every muscle of the body.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

When running, you usually feel physical and mental pleasure. Sometimes this pleasure can be replaced by negative feelings or even some kind of pain. No matter how healthy you're, you should always pay attention to how your body reacts. If something is wrong during your jog or run, the body will certainly let you know by giving you some hints (暗示). Watchfulness can help you avoid all possible after-effects of over exercise. Every type of sports is special and useful in its own way. While jogging can sometimes bring pain and discomfort, it really offers you greater joy and satisfaction. So don't step back. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I hope these tips will help you prepare yourself for jogging and avoid some serious issues.

A. Listen to your body signals (信号).

B. Never give in to difficulties while jogging.

C. However, jogging without preparation will bring great harm.
