    Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter③. This troubles them a lot. Experts(专家) say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits.

    Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than vegetables and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite①.

    It's important for us    ②  eat our meal in the same period each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞) the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have trouble in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.

:I think kids learn better by studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you'll remember it. Hands-on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and If you are stressed, you might not learn as much.  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

:When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely to take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

:With a hands-on project, you can be creative while you learn. It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flashcards. Plus, with a hands-on project, you can learn more than you expected. It's more satisfying to learn on your own without someone explaining it to you.  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

:Hands-on projects are better. When you are studying for a test, it can get boring and then you can get distracted(注意力分散的). You learn better doing projects because it is not boring and you experience new things depending on what you are doing.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

:I think kids learn hands-on projects because they have to consider the topic, instead of just memorizing information that they'll forget about after the test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family.  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Running two miles on the playground isn't a fun thing to do for most students. But students in Miss Brown's class at Mark Twain School in the USA gladly put on their running shoes. They wanted to raise money to help a dog in need.

    Miss Brown told her students about Peter, a dog who had a hard start in life. At less than a year old, Peter's owners found out that he was not healthy. Something was wrong with his body. Medicine could help but it was very expensive. For Peter to have a better life, he needed surgery (外科手术). But his owners couldn't afford that. Finally, they had to leave Peter at the animal hospital.

    "I love dogs and when I hear about Peter, I felt so sad for him," says student Tony.

    Miss Brown's class decided to hold a Jog-a-Thon to raise money for Peter's surgery.

    "At first I felt like the Jog-a-Thon was just to get us to exercise," says Mike "but then I wanted to help this dog."

    "I just wanted to make a difference in Peter's life," adds student Chance Wood.

    News of the Jog-a-Thon spread throughout the school. Before long, five other classes also took part in the event. "I started receiving money from all kinds of people in our school community," says Miss Brown. "We raised $3,180.64 in all."

They believed educating girls was against Islam. But Malala didn't agree. She wouldn't give up her education and kept going to school.   ②    "What is wrong with us girl students? We want all girls to get their schools back," she wrote. Her hard work encouraged many young girls in Swat Valley.

      ③    On Oct.9, 2012, when Malala was taking a bus home, a Taliban man got on the bus with a gun in his hand. A bullet immediately hit her in the face. Luckily, the shot didn't kill her. She was taken to a hospital in the UK. The shot didn't kill her courage, either.   ④    Her courage made her famous.
