We did a survey(研究) about student's free time activities yesterday. One of our questions was about exercise. According to(根据) the survey, only 25% of the girls often have activities outside. Many girls do little exercise. They don't like PE. classes and don't play sports .These girls may face a lot of problems. They may get fatter and weaker(更虚弱). And they may get some kinds of illness(疾病). Wang Jing, a 16-year-old girl, said, "I don't like doing exercise. I like watching TV from about 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.on the sofa. My sleeping time is no more than seven hours a day. I often feel tired."

    Some girls said they didn't have enough time to do exercise." We must help our parents with housework because they are very tired after a day's work. We have the dishes to do the house to clean and the homework to finish. There really isn't time for anything else."

    Everyone may have his reason for no doing exercise. However, we must know that if we don't do enough exercise, we will never be healthy. As students, we'd better exercise every day to live a healthy life.

Information Card

Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

    The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service company it is. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).

    The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

    And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service company will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

    Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

Canadian: In my country, the mobile phone numbers use seven digits. Why does this mobile phone have 11 digits—13958583739?

    Here are some ideas for you on how to help others through volunteering.

    Sometimes people need more help when the holidays come. Holidays are happy, but for people who are alone or unlucky, they can be a lonely, hard time. As a volunteer, you can deliver holiday dinners to less lucky people, visit the lonely old people and serve food to the homeless.

    How do you often go to school? Do you take a bus or a car? These ways mean you have to stay on the ground. But have you ever dreamed of flying to school? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Now let me introduce the first flying motorcycle in the world to you.

    Its name is Speeder and it's made in the USA Speeder has no wheel is, but there is a screen on it. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It can fly for 10 to 22 minutes each time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}That's much faster than a car. It can fly more than 4, 500 meters high.

    What's more, Speeder can move things or people more easily than a helicopter(直升机). {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Maybe you want to have one and fly it to school right now. But if you want to ride Speeder, you have to have a pilot's license first {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    If you're too heavy, it will be too hard for Speeder to take off.

    English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. There are important differences between the two.

    Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

    American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask "What did you do at the weekend?", but Americans usually say "on the weekend." In the United States people usually say "I've gotten a new car.", but in the UK they will say "I've just got a new car."

    The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word "tomato"—pronounced "to-mah-to" in British English—is a classic example of this.Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world.

    Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.

    When did you last say "I love you" to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 19. Generally compared with (与……相比) a mother's gentle love, a father's love represents qualities such as independence, confidence, courage and adventure (冒险).

    Also, caring fathers help their children get along with others. Fathers can lead their children into their social circle (社交圈). They can also teach them how to behave and control their feelings.

    For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. ⑶ "My ability of leading and cooperating (合作) became better through games." Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.

    US actor Will Smith said that his father taught him important lessons through small things. His father once planned to tear (拆) down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. "You didn't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick every day. And soon you have a wall," he said on a TV show.

⑷"One father is more than a hundred school-masters", British poet George Herbert once said. Do you agree?
