    I did volunteer(志愿者) work in a Kenya orphanage(孤儿院)last year. It was an unforgettable experience.

    When I first went to Kenya1 my classmates, I saw many poor children. I was2 that we might have to live like them. I was right. We had to sleep in a very3 room—18 girls stayed together. As there was not enough4, we had to save it day and night. We only had five minutes to have a bath each time.

   5 the living environment was bad, we did many things to help children there, such as teaching and cleaning. The most difficult thing for me was taking care of babies who were less than year old. That was the first time I held a baby. It was not6 at all. The babies kept7 no matter what I did. When I fed them, they still didn't calm down(平静下来). After a while, I was so8 from the pain(疼痛)in my back and shoulders. I realized how much my parents did for me when I was young.

    When we were9, a 5-year-old girl gave her teddy bear to us. It was her Christmas gift.

    Seeing her smiling face and the clean orphanage, we felt10 of ourselves.

    Do you want to stay away from obesity (肥胖)and live a healthy life? Then thethings you do every day are very important.

    Healthy eating habits

    It's easy to fall into the same choice(选择）when it comes to food. But eating thesame food not good for your health. It's time to have a plan for your meal. Youcan go to the supermarket or shop online. Fill your shopping trolley(购物车)with different vegetables every dayand cook them.

    Get moving

    You don't need to do exercise for an hourin the gym every day or do the same exe and over again. Short-time exercisingis a better way. And it will only take a little time.

    ★Take some exercise while you arebrushing your teeth.

    ★Drive less and walk more.

    ★When you have 15 minutes, you can goout of your house and run as fast as you can. See how far you can go.

    Having enough sleep is also important foryour health. Can you get a god sleep every night?

    In a big shopping center, a little girl issitting on a bench alone. She does not move. It seems that she is lost.

    After some time, a man walks up to her. Heis a father himself, so he feels worried about this little girl. "Hello,"he says. "Are you OK? Are your parents here with you?"

    The little girl does not even look up athim! He gently sits down next to her and touches her shoulder(肩膀). Now she raises her head, and he cansee that she is crying. He feels terrible!

    He gives her a very warm smile and holdsout his hand. She looks afraid, but she takes his hand.

    He takes her to the shopping center informationdesk and makes an announcement(广播).

    "Attention: a young girl is waitingfor her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter,please come soon! Thank you. "

    Minutes later, a woman comes running towardthe desk. As soon as she sees the little girl, she shouts and runs up to her.She holds the girl into her arms tightly(紧紧地).

    Then she turns to the man and says,"Thank you so much, sir. I was looking for her everywhere. I could notannounce it here because she is deaf(聋的)"

Nowthe man understands why the little girl did not look at him until he touchedher shoulder. He feels happy that he helped her.

    India is one of our neighbors. How much doyou know about it? Now let's learn more information about it.

    India is one of the four oldestcivilizations(文明)in the world. About 5, 000 years ago, Indian civilization was born. Today, witha population (人口)ofover 1. 2bilion(十亿), India is the world's second mostpopulous countrybehind China.

    Its great civilization makes the countryexciting. The world's highest mountain, the Himalayas, rises in the north. Themountain is home to some of India's rarest(最珍稀的)animals.

    Also, India is famous for making software(软件). IT products(产品)from India are widely used. If youhave a mobile phone, some of the parts may come from India.

    Many Indians work for IT companies inBangalore, also called the Silicon Valley(硅谷)of India. It is the country's softwareproduction center.

    If you are not interested in software, thenIndia's modern culture may excite you. Most Indian films are called Bollywoodfilms. Many of them tell stories with a lot of lively music and dancing.

    They usually have a happy ending. Forexample,3 Idiots (《三傻大闹宝莱坞》）is one of the best ones.

    Do you like bananas? They taste good andyou can have them without washing. However, British scientists say that thefruit may die out by 2050.

    One reason forthis is climatechange. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries that produce 86% ofthe world's bananas. They found that climate change made people harvest morebananas.

    However, if temperatures keep going higher,this advantage will disappear. Some countries, like India, the world's biggestproducer of bananas, will produce(生产)fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit maydie out.

    Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it'shotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between24℃and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

    Diseases are another danger to bananas.Unlike other crops, all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is ableto kill one plant, it could kill them all.

    One serious disease is called Panama. Itspreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, Middle East, andAustralia. If one banana plantation(种植园)develop the disease, it will take 30years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't found a goodway to deal with this disease till now.

    Do you drink milk every day? We believethat milk is good for our health. But is that the whole truth? Let's take acloser look!

    Milk might be one of the best things we candrink. It has a lot of nutrients（营养物质)to help children grow. It's rich incalcium(钙)and vitamins(维他命). Calcium gives us strong bones.

    Doctors say that milk is also good for ourteeth and heart. And a glass of warm milk helps us get a good night's sleep.Milk is great!

    However, some studies show that milk maycause some health problems. For example, drinking a lot of milk(three or moretimes a day) may make children fat, Lives Science reported. Also, milk mightnot actually make our bones stronger. Scientists found that some people whodrank more milk also had more broken bones;

    So should we still drink milk? Milk may notbe a superfood. But it does give us a lot of nutrients. Drink milk if you likeit, but not because you think it is the best thing for your health.
