Have you ever wanted to stop eating something sweet but you couldn't? Is it the first thing that you look for cookies when you arrive home from school? Can you eat a box of chocolates all by yourself? Can you say "no" to sweets at parties? If you can't, then there is a reason. That is perhaps you're a sugar addict (对……着迷的人). Does that sound funny? Well, doctors say that people who often eat sweets can easily become addicted to sugar. What's more, most sugar addicts don't even know that they're addicted!
Sugar addiction is serious, because it can really damage your health and even cause death. Doctors say that we should eat healthy food, such as fruit and vegetables, and we shouldn't eat a lot of sugar or fast food. But sugar addicts are difficult to follow this advice. Well, here is some useful advice:
·Eat some fresh fruit when you really want something sweet to eat.
·Cut down on sweet food slowly. Don't try to stop eating it all at once.
·You have to tell your parents. If they know, they will help you.
①We should eat chocolate when we really want something sweet to eat.
②We shouldn't eat a lot of fast food.
③We have to give up bad eating habits by ourselves.
④We should eat fresh fruit and vegetables to keep healthy.
⑤We'd better cut down on sweet food slowly.
You're chatting with a friend and want to suggest a good book. All of a sudden, you can't remember the title! The harder you try to remember, . the more it eludes (使不记得) you. We've all been there, and everyone knows how hard it is to remember all the information in your head. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
● Repeat important information out loud. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When you repeat something out loud, you aren't technically memorizing it. You're actually creating a pattern (方式) and sound that will make the information easier to remember in the future.
● {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Turn the TV off while you study and put down the phone while you're driving. When you do different activities at the same time, your attention is divided, which will make it hard to process (处理) the information necessary to remember what you're doing.
● Take notes and write things down. Taking notes will help you memorize the information, even if you never look at your notes again! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} So you'd better use pens and paper if you really want to remember your friend's birthday or an important meeting.
● Take a short walk. Studies show that taking a walk will increase your memory. If you're trying to remember something, spend a few minutes walking around your neighborhood to see if it helps. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}At best, you'll remember the name of that life-changing book from primary school!
A. Pay attention to one thing at a time. B. Remember to find a good neighborhood. C. Never watch TV or use mobile phone too much. D. At worst, you'll get some exercise and relax a little. E. Say that address, phone number, or date over and over again. F. Luckily, there are some things you can do to improve your memory. G. Research shows that it's hard to achieve the same result by writing on your phone. |

| I live in Libya, Africa. It's REALLY hot all the time here. So I take a shower three times a day. I know, it's a lot. But it cools me off, and I like to feel clean! |

| I have a strange habit. I never touch doorknobs (球形门拉手). Sometimes I am stuck (被困) in a room, and I wait for someone to enter or leave to help me get out. I really like sliding doors (推拉门) because they don't have doorknobs. Lucky for me that I live in Tokyo, Japan. We have lots of sliding doors here. |

| My habits aren't really unusual. Well, there's one. I drink milk twice a day. But always with ICE. I can drink only really COLD milk. Our milk here in Hertfordshire, England, is delicious. |

| I wear a hat every day. I wear it to school. I wear it to bed. I even wear it in the shower! I guess that's pretty strange. But it's cold where I live — in Rio Grande, Argentina. |

| You guys don't have strange habits. Listen to this! I always put the books in my bookcase in alphabetical order (字母顺序). I check them every morning. If one is in the wrong place, I fix it. |
| Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town's heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong Du Fu |
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, "good", shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it "knows" the right time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer's busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night. Unlike the thunder (雷) and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without being known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, showing that there will be enough rain during the night. Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom (盛开) after the rain.
