    In Australia there is a famous island called Fraser Island. A great many visitors come here for holidays every year. Why? The reason is that it is special. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world. It's about 175 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide.

    Though the island is a popular place of interest, there is no airport on the island. The long beach along the east coast works as the airport. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    On the island there are sand hills without any plants, but there are forests with old trees, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes, too. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Every year, visitors come to enjoy the island's natural beauty. People like camping and hiking here. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Animals were killed for food and this made them in danger of extinction(灭绝). They threw rubbish everywhere, and the lakes were seriously polluted.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Rules have been set up. For example, visitors are not allowed to use motorboats(摩托艇)or go fishing in the lakes, and they mustn't leave any rubbish.

    John, a farmer, was riding his cart(运货马车)along the country road. He had to arrive at the market early so that he could sell his vegetables. It rained heavily the day before, so it was very difficult for the horse to move on in the mud(泥). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    It was more difficult for the horse to move the cart. John climbed down from his seat and stood beside his cart.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} He felt really sad. But he didn't try to pull the wheels up by himself. Instead, he looked up at the sky and started shouting, "I am unlucky! {#blank#}3{#/blank#}"

    After some time, an old man walked by. "Do you think you can move the cart by simply looking at it and shouting?" he asked. "Did you try to get the wheels out of the mud by yourself? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Come on, put your shoulder(肩) to the wheels, and you will soon find the way out."

John did as the old man said.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} John learned his lesson. He thanked the man and went happily on his way.

    Everyone knows that exercise is important. We need to exercise. Doctors say it is good for us. It keeps us healthy.

    When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body.（1）There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ballgames. Make sure you exercise in the following ways: you have to like what you're doing. Exercise enough-but not too much. It is good to exercise twice each week. Thirty minutes each time is enough. Try all kinds of things until you find one sport that you feel right for you.

    Exercise can be fun. Friends can exercise at fitness center, or they can play sports. How do you exercise？（2）你多长时间锻炼一次？

    If you dropped a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, would you think about eating it again? What if you dropped it in the toilet? Bacteria can live everywhere, even in some unexpected places.

    If you eat at your computer, sneeze on your keyboard, or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl does.

    Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes: the TV remote control. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that about half of the tested remote controls carry the cold virus.

    Don't forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show that flushing the toilet releases bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It's also important to change your toothbrush every three months.

    Here are some other places to watch out for:

    At home

    The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used. Try to make them dry.

    At school

    When you put your schoolbags on the floor or in the bus, many bacteria can live on the bottom of it. Try to clean your schoolbag often.

    In public places

    Escalator handrails, shopping cart handles, public books and magazines are top bacteria carriers. That's why the first thing to do when getting home is to wash your hands.

    Yes, bacteria are everywhere. But don't be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands regularly. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
