Black bread with honey— A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in India and the manager gave this to her for stomachache. It really works. Just take a piece of bread and toast it until it's black. Then put honey on the bread and eat it. It doesn't look good, but it can really help. So if you get stomachache, try this remedy (治疗法).

An onion—If youget a high temperature, use an onion. It sounds strange but it helps. Cut one large onion in half and tie the half an onion to the bottom of each of your feet. You shouldn't wear socks of course! I use this on my kids and it works every time. The remedy came from a relative from down south.

Salt water—When I was a child, I got a lot of headaches and my grandmother always did this for me. Put a few drops of warm salt water in your ears. Don't use really hot water. Do this three or four times for both ears. Then lie down and close your eyes for about ten minutes.

A. To stop the world from being polluted by cars, we have to make some changes. For example, we can go out by bus or by underground.

B. You can call on some students to clean the parks in your city. It's also a good idea to put up some "No Littering" signs in the parks.

C. Always keep in mind that electricity should be cut off before you leave. You'll not only save money but also save energy by doing so.

D. Here are two pieces of advice on how to save water in our daily life. Don't leave the tap(水龙头) on when washing or brushing. Take a short shower instead of a long one.

E. The rubbish on the beach can be swept into the sea. And all kinds of rubbish will put animals in the sea in danger. Always collect rubbish on the beach and never throw rubbish into the sea.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}I fell down and hurt my left knee when playing basketball with my friends just now. It keeps bleeding now. What should

I do?

A. Eating too much chocolate is bad for your teeth. After meals and before bedtime, you need to brush your teeth. If you still have a toothache, you must go to the dentist.

B. Firstly, you should stay away from your computer. Playing computer games too much is bad for your body. Secondly, try massaging (按摩) your neck to help to relax it. I believe you will feel better soon.

C. Take some medicine and drink much hot water to help stop the fever and headache when you get a cold. Also, you need to do exercise every day to make your body stronger so that you won't get a cold easily.

D. Why don't you lie down and have a good rest? Also, you could close your eyes or look at some green plants to rest them after watching the screen for long. But if your eyes still hurt, then go to the hospital.

E. Don't worry. Let me tell you how to deal with it. You should run the cut under water first. And then put some medicine and a bandage on it.

F. I think you should go to the hospital and take a chest X-ray first, and then follow what the doctor asks you to do. The most importantly, I think you should give up smoking.

G. Why not drink some hot tea with honey as soon as possible? It works very well. If your throat still hurts, then I think it's necessary for you to see a doctor.
