First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have your favorite food, but you'd better eat something different. If you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients（营养物质）your body needs

Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the No. 1 choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium（钙）your body needs to grow strong bones（骨头）.

Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably（舒适地）full. Eating too much will not make you feel comfortable but make you fat.

Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and videos, or using computers. It is good to take more exercise, such as basketball, bike riding and swimming.

You can't watch TV for more than two hours a day.

【推荐1】Athletics VS. Gardening

The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic (体育运动的) program or start a vegetable garden.

An athletic program is much better than gardening. How will we win the Inter-School Athletics without training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one term and the teachers train us. We need experts (专家) to teach us things like throwing and high jump. Kids should get enough exercise when they are growing up. Gardening can’t make a kid get much exercise. However, an athletic program can make it. Athletics is much better for health and lots of kids can try at the same time. I don’t think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden. In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don’t know why we’re even considering it. Liz, Grade 8

I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport. Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you’re good at it, or whether you’re going to win. And you can really get exercise when you garden. There’s digging, weeding (除草) and watering. Even picking things can be hard work. And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us healthy, and then we’ll be better at sport. Sam, Grade 8

1. What is one reason Liz gives for saying “garden is a really bad idea”?

A．Students can’t get exercise at all by gardening.

B．Some students don’t enjoy being outside.

C．Some students already know how to garden.

D．The garden can’t offer enough jobs for everyone.

2. Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?

A．Kids should eat vegetables.	B．Kids should take exercise.
C．Kids should try to win more.	D．Kids should learn to cook.

3. Why does Sam say “And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport?”

A．To change the topic.	B．To support Liz’s idea.
C．To introduce his next reason.	D．To explain health is important.

【推荐3】A reader wrote to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her — and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around — maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom — think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say Hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this, or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help — and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she or he left. You can introduce her or him to your new friends!
