How to Exercise Well
Warm up. It is important to warm up before you exercise. You need to stretch your legs, arms, back and neck before you do any difficult activities like running.
Find good places to exercise. You do not need to spend a lot of money exercising. You can run or play sports in a park or in your school gym. You don’t need to buy exercise equipment for your home. Just get your body moving!
Don’t work too hard. Choose a sport that you are interested in and then your exercise will be fun instead of work. Also, you only need to exercise a few times each week. If you exercise for 30 minutes each time, you will stay healthy.
Drink enough water. It is important to drink water when you exercise. Your body needs the water for energy and for keeping cool.
Be careful! If you hurt yourself while you are exercising, rest until you feel better. Exercising when you are hurt is bad for your health.

【推荐1】Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model(模特) or as strong as your favourite football player? Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little. Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up.
But learning what you can and can’t change about your body is part of growing up, too. It can be hard to do. But when people accept the way they look, they often feel happier.
Some children worry that they’re not growing and developing as fast as their friends. It’s important to know that puberty(青春期) doesn’t happen at the same time for every child. And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!
Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better. Why? Because they will help you feel energetic (精力充沛的) and keep your body working just the way it should be.
Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun, but they don’t do much for your body because you sit when you do them.
But when you move your body—by playing, dancing, taking part in sports, or even cleaning your room—you exercise your muscles(肌肉). When you exercise the muscle, it gets stronger. And when you have strong muscles, you can do whatever you want to do!

Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.
Why do we need sleep? Sleep helps our body heal, grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need a rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice.
Enough sleep is important to us how much sleep do we need? It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly, there is no storage (储存) system for sleep in the brain.
New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20-22 hours a day. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6-8 hours of sleep to keep active.
A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.
Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. Some people talk in their dreams. More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?

Why Is Tai Ji the Perfect Exercise?
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. (4) 有些人喜欢跑步或者爬山, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.
Practitioners praise Tai Ji’s benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China and Chinatowns around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji offers the greatest benefit to older people who are healthy but relatively inactive. (5) Studies have shown that practicing Tai Ji helps reduce falls among healthy old people. The next step, from a scientific point of view, is to decide whether Tai Ji can help those who are already weak.
It can take a few months for the effects of Tai Ji to kick in, but when they do they can act as a gateway to a new lifestyle. “Once people start feeling better, they often become more active in their daily life,” says Dr. Karim Khan, a sports scientist at the University of British Columbia.
Any form of exercise, of course, can do only so much. “For older people, Tai Ji will not be the end-all,” says William Haskell, an expert at Stanford University. “But a good way is to practice Tai Ji plus walking. Younger people probably need more challenges, but they can benefit from TaiJi to reduce stress.”
The best thing about Tai Ji is that people enjoy it, so they can stick with it long enough to get some benefits. It helps when something that’s good for you is also fun.
1. What can help you start learning to practice Tai Ji according to paragraph 2?2. Can younger people benefit from Tai Ji?
3. What do you think of Tai Ji?

【推荐3】Like many other foreigners, Rosalind Oliver’s first touch of Chinese Tai Chi came from popular kung fu movies. However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners.
Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was turning to an exercise. Then she discovered advertisement classes about Tai Chi by accident and decided to try the “mysterious” eastern sport. Right away Oliver fell in love with the beautiful movement of Tai Chi. To her joy, she found that her back pains disappeared after years of practice.
Oliver later met her late husband, who was also her Tai Chi teacher. In the early 1990s, the couple opened their own Tai Chi school in the UK. To further understand Tai Chi, they decided to start a journey to China. However, three years after moving to Shanghai in 2000, her husband died, leaving her alone to work on Tai Chi.
The 58-year-old British woman recalled that it was a hard time for her. However, she was thankful to Chinese friends in Shanghai who supported her through the painful process. “They didn’t treat me like a foreigner, but rather like a friend.” Oliver said.
In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera.
Besides her Tai Chi classes, Oliver now teaches English at Shanghai University. Oliver expressed her deep love for cultural exchange and hoped to spread her work in this area.

When you receive an invitation from others, please make sure if there is an RSVP on it. Some people may ask, “What is an RSVP?” In fact, it is a short form (形式) of French words “Respondez sil vous plait”. It means that the sender wants to know if you’ll go to their event and you’re expected to give your answer. If you receive an invitation with an RSVP on it, you should reply to the host as soon as possible.
Many people don’t RSVP because they think it might upset the host if their answer is “No.” However, this usually causes more trouble than a simple no. For example, if the host is unclear about the number of the guests, they won’t know how much food to order or how many seats to prepare.
A reasonable (合理的) RSVP often has a deadline (最终期限), which is about two or four weeks before the event. If you want to go to the event but can’t be sure about it, it’s best to refuse. You can tell the host what makes you not sure about your coming.
Usually, invitation with an RSVP will tell you how to reply. A formal (正式的) invitation, such as a wedding invitation, will have a reply card that you can return in an envelope (信封). You can write your answer on the reply card. Informal invitations, on the other hand, may have a telephone number, an email address, texting address, or other ways to reply, with instructions. The most important thing is that if you say you’ll go to the event, you should keep your promise.

3. When is a better time to reply to an invitation with an RSVP?

Everyone has his or her own living habits. Building good living habits is important. Why are some habits better than others? Let’s find out.
Why do we need to eat coarse food grains?
Corn, sweet potato, soybean and oats are all coarse food grains (粗粮). Eating coarse food grains is good for your health. They have a lot of dietary fiber (食用纤维). It’s good for your stomach. You can cook them in porridge or make drinks with them.
Why shouldn’t we bend (弯曲) our heads for a long time?
Keeping your head bent down for long is not good for your neck. Why is that? It’s because you put too much pressure on your neck. It’s like putting two watermelons (about 27 kilograms) on your neck. You might have neck and shoulder pain by doing that.
Why shouldn’t we rub (揉) our eyes?
Your hands are much dirtier than you think. When you rub your eyes, the bacteria (细菌) on your hands might go into your eyes. If something gets in your eyes, do not rub them. Clean them with running water instead.
Why is a cold-water bath after exercising bad?
After exercising, your skin is sweating (流汗) and your heart is bearing fast. A cold-water bath will stimulate (刺激) them too much. It might make you sick. You’d better wait for a while until your body cools down. Then you can take a warm-water bath to relax.

【推荐1】Is it difficult for you to remember things？I'd like to tell you some ways to help improve your memory，so you shouldn't feel upset.
My first advice is that if you want to remember something well，you have to review it regularly（有规律地）You might review the material two days after you learn it，then a week later，then two weeks later，and then a month later. After a month you will. find that you can easily remember the material.
My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight（标注）the important parts on your book. This will help you in two ways. First，it will help you pay attention to the most important parts. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second，this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book，the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way，you don't have to review all the material again.
Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First，review all this information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep，you might be able to remember it better. Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning.

如果你不得不去拥挤的地方，记得戴口罩。Keep at least one metre between yourself and other people, especially those who are coughing or sneezing.

Keep proper indoor ventilation (通风).

Why? The virus can only infect (感染) you when it builds up to a certain amount. Proper ventilation can stop the virus from gathering into a large amount.
Keep up good habits.
Keep healthy habits such as eating healthily, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.
Why? Doing these things can strengthen your immune system (免疫系统). It is not easy for you to become infected.
Wash hands properly.
Remember to wash your hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, coming home, coming into contact with rubbish and touching animals. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth before washing your hands.
Why? Your hands might touch surfaces with the virus. Washing your hands in time can stop the virus from entering your body.
