【推荐1】How much physical activity do you do? In the past, your grandparents walked miles to school or to work. They cut wood, carried water or heavy things, washed clothes, worked in the fields and so on. Now we have washing machines, cars and buses. Most of us don’t grow vegetables and parents usually drive their kids where they want to go. But your body is designed for physical activity, and without enough exercise, it starts to slow down and become unhealthy.

There are some ways to do physical activity for free.

·Climb stairs instead of (而不是) using lifts.
·Walk or ride your bike to school (Don’t ask your mum or dad to drive you).
·Play games after class or after school.
·Practise skills like running and catching, throwing, kicking, hitting, or bouncing a ball.
·Walk when you talk with a friend, instead of sitting down.
·Walk or run with the dog (if you haven’t got one, borrow one from a neighbour).
·Make and fly a kite.

What other ideas can you come up with? You can do a lot of these things by yourself. There are lots of other things that you can do. They may cost some money, and you will have to keep that time free.

【推荐3】Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed. Cut down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only focus on the most important things. Leave time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.

Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate (集中) on the things you need to do.

Exercise regularly and eat well. Don’t rush through your meals. Eat less junk food or fast food. Eat healthy food instead.

Get to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic (乐观的), while others not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them, and you’ll be as happy as them.

Learn to be calm when you face any problem. Find out the best option (选择) from those that are in your mind. Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence.

Have a happy attitude. Your attitude decides the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? Learn to think more positively about the difficulties you face.

【推荐2】Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.

On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.

When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to attend a school in Brooklyn.

In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.

“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”

Natalie’s choice was to help.

She created a website page matching people in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.

In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

Today, damages are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

【推荐3】Bikes are very popular in China. In the country, you can see bikes almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you can find a lot of people riding bikes to schools, shops and any other place. So many people call China “the kingdom（王国） of bikes”. In China, many families have one or two bikes.

Compared with cars, bikes have many advantages(优点). First, bikes don’t need much money. Some Chinese can’t buy cars, but they buy bikes. They can also use shared bikes(共享单车)with only one yuan every hour. An app on the phone helps them to do that. Second, bikes are small to park anywhere, but cars need a bigger place. What’s more, they can’t ride bikes too fast, so it’s usually not dangerous to ride.

However, bikes also bring some problems(问题). Some riders don’t follow the traffic rules and some don’t think about others’ safety, so they ride too fast. During rush hours(高峰期), there may be traffic jams because there are too many bikes on the road. We still have much to do to solve the problem, like making strict rules for the riders.
