    My favorite animals are swans (天鹅). They are white. They can swim very well. I think they look like beautiful girls in white dresses (连衣裙). They have a pair of wings (翅膀) and they can also fly (飞) well. I believe  (认为) they are angels (天使) from the sky (天空). They bring us love and make (使) us happy. They are always friendly to us. We can't kill them, because they are our friends. I love them!

    I also like dogs. They are not beautiful, but they are the best friends. They keep the thieves (小偷) away. Dogs have the best hearing and eyesight. They can hear (听见) in the noise (喧闹声) and see in the dark (黑暗). If we are in danger, they will help us at once (立刻). So, I love them.

    It's Sandra's thirteenth birthday. She asked her friends and classmates to come to her party. Her grandparents, uncle and aunt also came. They had a party in Sandra's home. They sang, danced and told some interesting stories. They had a good time here.

    But a boy about ten was sitting in the corner. He was watching the other children. He listened to the stories carefully. Sandra found him and went to him with some ice-cream(冰淇淋).

    "Hi, Robert!" said Sandra." Why not play with us? You're a smart boy. You can tell us interesting stories."

    "I, I…" the boy didn't know what to say. Mr. Hill saw it and said, "A child was smart when he was young, but maybe stupid(愚蠢的) when he grows up(长大)！"

    "Uncle, you can't say that!" Sandra said.

    "That means that you were smart when you were young, sir!" Robert answered.

    How much physical activity do you do in a week? Are you getting enough exercise?{#blank#}1{#/blank#} For example, people who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer from many diseases. Regular exercise reduces the risk of early death by 30%. It also improves your sleep quality.

    Today, most adults are much less active than in the past because our jobs are far less physical than the work our grandparents used to do. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} This lack of regular physical activity means people burn fewer calories than in the past, so we need to do something to consume (消耗) our energy. Experts think adults need to do 2. 5 hours of moderate exercise per week. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Exercise can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Team sports such as football can be cheap because all the players share the cost of the field. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It can also be very social.

    If you don't want to spend any money, try one of the following activities. Go for a run. The only equipment you need is a pair of running shoes. If you take the bus, try getting off one stop early and walking the extra distance. Go to the park. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} You can play different kinds of games there. This is a great way to involve family members and friends.

    In short, there are many easy ways of keeping fit. If we all recognize the value of doing this, we will live longer and be healthier.

    If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things.

    Be open to others.

    Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide(掩盖) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel relaxed(放松的) in talks.

    Try to smile more.

    When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too, and most people don't like an angry-looking face.

    Learn to be a good talker.

    If you find it hard to start a talk, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?

    Get your attention elsewhere.

    Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don't worry about your looks or whether(是否) other people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it's not so hard to talk with other people.
