Reading is fun. When you read, would you like a paper book or an e-book(电子书)? Some people choose e-books, some love paper books, and others prefer reading both.

    Li Ming, a university professor (教授), is busy doing some research. So he is often on business. When he is at the airport or on the train, he especially loves reading e-books. He also likes reading paper books in the library for the research work. Besides, he enjoys the smell of the paper books.

    What's more, Li Ming would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8:00 to 9:00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening, Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson, “Li Lei, this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it, I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together.” Li Lei said, “But I enjoy reading e-books. E-books need no paper. Many forests will be saved.” Grandma advised, “Don't read for a long time, or your eyes will get sore.”

    Different people have different ideas about e-books and paper books. No one knows whether e-books can replace (代替) paper books or not. Somehow, books are our friends. No matter which kind of books you choose to read, you can learn more about the world through them.

    It's normal for you to feel shy and nervous when you are in the new environment. It's natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. If you think you are too shy and want to be a little more active, try the following advice.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} There is no need to hide it. When people get to know you are a shy person, they may understand you better. It will also help you feel easier in talks.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When you smile, people will think you're friendly and want to talk with you. Remember that all people have feelings and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

You shouldn't keep quiet at a party all the time. If you find it hard to start a talk, you can say something nice about people around you. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} It must be very helpful for you to start a talk! And after you begin to talk to someone or smile at someone for the first time, remember to say "I did it!" to yourself.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Think about more ways to enjoy the party and have fun. Don't waste time worrying about your look or whether all people like you or not.

    If you keep trying the advice, you may not be shy in the new environment one day. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

We don't normally see our bones(骨头), so we probably don't think about them much. But your bones help your body in important ways.

There are more than two hundred bones in your body, and all of these bones have important jobs. One group of bones holds your body up. Among these bones are the leg bones and the backbone. Without these bones, you would not be able to stand up or sit up.

The shoulder bones and the bones in your upper(上部的) body give your body its shape. At the same time they protect(保护) the heart and other parts of the body that are inside them. The bone in your head does the same thing for the brain. It is strong, and it keeps your brain from being hurt.

And the bones in your body, of course, help you to move and do things. But they can't make it without the help of the muscles(肌肉). Muscles cover them, keep them fixed and make them join at the joints(关节) strongly.

Your bones also help your body in another very important and surprising way. The center of some bones has a soft, white material. It is in this material that new red blood cells(细胞) are made. Red blood cells, of course, are very important for keeping us alive.

All of these things that the bones do make them truly amazing parts of the human body. So please take care of your bones. Once they are broken, it will take you at least 100 days to recover from it. That's nothing fun!

 When is the last time you had fun? Felt truly happy? if you' re trying not to be bored in your life, we' ll offer you some advice on how to have more fun.

 Find a new hobby. You may not be having as much as you want because you feel like you' re doing the same old thing day after day. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It will not only provide something to look forward to in your daily life , but it will also make you more open to new ideas.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Experts(专家) suggest that music helps reduce(减少) stress and improves your feelings. Every time you feel stressed, turn on a song you like to reduce your stress. By doing so, you will make it a part of your daily activities which will improve your feelings.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Take the time to enjoy a little game from time to time. Even just playing the game-Rock Paper Scissors while you' re at your desk will make your study day a little more fun.

 Even busy with your study, it's still important to find time for fun. It makes your life not so boring.
