    Joe was a farmer. He hadn't had good harvest for years. "If God let me control the weather, everything will get better, "he said angrily,"{#blank#}1{#/blank#}"

    God heard his words and replied, "Well, you can be in charge of the weather for a year. Let's see what your crops grow like. "

    On hearing this, Joe was too surprised to believe what he heard. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}He shouted "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds went away. In the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and rainy. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    He looked forward to a big harvest. But when the harvest season came, his heart sank to find his crops had not grown any grain at all. Feeling quite puzzled and disappointed, he started crying.

    "Didn't you have your wish to control the weather? "God asked again. "Yes, but I just can't understand it. How could it be?" Joe wondered. "That's because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}"

    From the story we can learn: Only through life's challenges can we succeed in harvesting the fruit of life. It takes both ups and downs to get satisfactory results.

    To be healthy and happy is important for each of us. Do you want to improve(改善)your health and feel better? Here are some ways.

    Eat whole foods. Eat some healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and a little meat. If you have a healthy eating habit, you'll be happier.

    Exercise. Take up a sport you really like. If you want to keep healthy, try to exercise for 30 minutes a day, twice or three times a week．

    Get enough sleep. It is best to get eight hours' sleep a day. A cup of milk before sleeping may help you get a good sleep.

    Keep yourself busy. This is good because it stops you from having bad habits. To keep yourself busy, you can walk around the house, spend time with your pets, do a sport, or do a hobby you enjoy.

    Got a moment -or, maybe, 15seconds?
