We all need to exercise. Doctors say it is good for us. It makes our body strong. And we will feel better about ourselves. We can exercise twice a week. Twenty minutes each time is enough(足够的). There are many ways(方法)to exercise. We can walk, run, play sports or swim. Many people go to special(特别的)places to exercise. These places have a lot of equipment(设备). They exercise with their friends together. Some people have equipment in their homes. Exercising can be fun. How do you exercise?

    Some kids are afraid of seeing the dentist, but not me. I have a funny dentist. His name is Dr. Smileface. Why does he call himself Dr. Smileface? Because he always smiles to all the kids. He has a cool waiting room. It has a big toy box. Dr. Smileface always wears funny hats. He has his face painted. He asks funny questions like "Do you eat flowers to make you so beautiful?" That makes me laugh. One time, he told me this joke, "What has lots of teeth but never goes to the dentist? A comb!" When I laughed, he pulled my tooth. It didn't hurt at all. He also teaches us how to take care of my teeth.

(New words:  joke玩笑,  teeth牙齿,  comb梳子,  smile微笑,

take care of照顾)

    You work hard to learn English. Do you know American kids are learning Chinese? In many US schools, students take Chinese lessons. How do they learn Chinese?

    Let's go to the Muir Elementary School in the US. Maddi, 6, and Stephen, 6, are first graders in this school. They are learning how to say "we" in Chinese. "It's not easy to remember the Chinese characters (汉字). But learning Chinese is fun," they say.

    In Chinese class, they are learning the language through songs, games and lots of talking. "Chinese is popular among US kids. They pick it up really fast," their teacher says.
