    In the village of Kila Raipur, people would like to take part in their unusual Olympics. Even though the villagers don't spend millions of dollars on the sport, these games seem to be much more fun than the real Olympics!

    Now in its 77^th year, the sport took place in the village Kila Raipur in an Indian state from January 31^st to February 3^rd. A villager by the name of Inder Singh Grewal wanted to organize an event which would allow farmers to show their skills, keep their culture and just have a good time.

    Over the years, it has become popular and now includes not just the farmers, but also some of the world's finest athletes from 7 to 70 years of age. In keeping up with times, there are different modern sports, such as hockey and race and traditional ones such as tug-of-war and even Kabaddi.

    However, the ones that interest the biggest crowds are the special sports like the bull(公牛)races. In the races, bulls run at high speed against each other, with athletes balanced on small carts(手推车). Then there is the game that challenges athletes to lift bicycles with their teeth. Another sport is using their teeth to pull a car. If that is not special enough for you to get excited about this, there is a competition that allows a tractor(拖拉机) to run over an athlete's body!

    All in all, the sport not only tests the skills and strength of its athletes, but also cheers up people. The best part is that everyone, old or young, can take part in the sport. So it's no wonder that over 4,000 athletes and over a million watchers run into the small village of Kila Raipur, each year!

    A new research on students' sleeping habits says that more than 70% of students do not get enough sleep.

    Researchers found that primary school students get 9 hours and 10 minutes of sleep a night, junior high school students get 8 hours and 6 minutes, and senior high school students get 7 hours and 9 minutes. None of those hours are enough for each group. Not enough sleep can cause many kinds of problems in children and teenagers.

    In 2007, Shanghai Municipal Education Commission asked primary and middle schools in the city to adjust their timetables so that students could get more sleep. Two years later, a research found that students at schools that adjusted their timetables got more sleep than in 2005.

    The researchers hope that the government will take measures to make students have enough sleep. Students in other places may even less sleep than those in Shanghai.

    Didyou ever set up a lemonade stand (柠檬水小摊) when you were a kid？ Manyof us did and if we were very lucky, we could make enough money to buy icecream from the Good Humour Truck.

Last Saturday, Jack Yielding, a five-year-old boy from Oakville, Ontario, got $41,233from two lemonade stands and a car charity (慈善) wash. Jack gave the money to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, where Jack who has epilepsy (羊癫疯）, is a patient there.

    Thiswas Jack's second year to host the Lemonade Stand for sick kids, andthe whole town came to show their love. More than 1,000peoplecame to the lemonade stands on Saturday.

    "Jackis working hard to turn his lemons into lemonade to help his friends atToronto's Hospital for Sick Children," Jack'smother, JodiYielding, toldus.

We each have1 memory. That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can2 learn many things by heart.3 some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got4 memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language 5 he is a small child. He hears the sounds,6 them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living 7 their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy8 a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with9 subjects too.

But your memory will become10 after you exercise more.

Many successful people follow a similar routine(常规）. This helps them make the best use of their days. This also helps sleep well at night. One of the most important things successful people do is to get ready for the next day the night before. Let's see{#blank#}1{#/blank#}they do that.

Learn to relax

Put the phone down

Think about today

If I had a cold, I wouldn't think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, if I had a mental（心理的）problem, I might not treat it in the same way.

At my elementary school, mental health was not discussed even once as far as I can remember. This makes me wonder how many other schools are failing to educate their students on this topic. It makes me sad that children growing up with mental illness may feel like it is something to be ashamed of（对……感到羞耻的）because it is never discussed. When I reached high school, mental health was still seldom discussed. But when it was in the topic of health or biology class, I was given a broad idea that mental illness was a "thing" that really lies.

In my opinion, overstressed high school students could benefit（获益）greatly from more deep discussions about how to deal with mental health problems, such as how to know when you should care about yourself or a friend, or who to reach out for help. I know my friends and I could have benefited. Even if you personally have never faced mental health problems, someone you know is sure to have, and you can offer timely help.

I also believe we need to normalize discussions about mental health at an early age, instead of hiding them from sight. At school, I saw a student's report on mental health education and how it can be carried out in the American school system. The student used the film Inside Out to explain feelings to younger kids. This report made me believe that it, is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.

Although we can't change the way people think about mental health over one night, there are still things we can do. Asking our friends how they're feeling is a good start.
