Susie Sunbeam was not her real name; that was Susan Brown. But everyone called her Susie Sunbeam because she always brought brightness when she came. Her grandfather first gave her this name, and it seemed to fit the little girl so nicely that soon it took the place of her own.
Even when a baby,   Susie laughed from morning till night. No one ever heard her cry unless she was sick or hurt.
When she learned to walk, she loved to get things for her mother, and in this way save her as many steps as she could. She would sit by her mother’s side for an hour at a time, and ask her so many questions, or she would take her new book and read. Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children. She never used an unkind word, but tried to do what she could to make her playmates happy. One day, a poor little girl with a very old dress was going by and Susie heard some children making fun of her. She at once ran out of the gate, and asked the poor little girl to come in. “What are you crying for?” Susie asked. “Because they all laugh at me,” she said.
Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She cheered her up with kind words, and gave her a nice dress and a pair of shoes. This brought real joy and gladness to the poor child, and she, too, thought that Susie was rightly called Sunbeam.
Answer the following questions with No More Than 8 Words.
51. Why did everyone call Susan Brown “Susie Sunbeam”?

Thanks to better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century．It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are some rules for a health life．
Get off the sofa
Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV． But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10000 steps every day. In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past？
Eat healthy food
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural，for example fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while．Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health．
Rest while you can
When we were babies，we slept for much of the night．Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies，but it is important for you to sleep for about eight hours a night．At weekends，you have   more time，so use it not only for your friends, but also for rest too．
Do not worry, be happy
Many people believe that happiness is important to our general health．Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something，talk to your parents or your teachers．
    56     For A Health Life

Getting off the sofa	You should walk at least ten     57     steps a day.
