How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called smog. The word smog is from the words “smoke” and “fog”. It first appeared in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution caused mainly by cars and factories.

Smog will do great harm (危害) to your health, especially lungs (肺). It can make you cough and cause skin or eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smoke away. However, there are some easy way to stop it from hurting you on hazy days.

Don’t exercise in the open. Exercising in the open makes you breathe (呼吸) deeply and you will take in particles (颗粒物) deep into your lungs.

Stay indoors and keep the air clean. You can just stay in your room and close your doors and windows. Use air purifiers (空气净化器) if necessary to keep the air in your room clean.

Wear a mask. Paper and cotton masks cannot help you in the haze weather, but some special masks can keep you from breathing in particles in the air.

Change your diet. Scientists find that Vitamin A, C or E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs. So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat. It is bad for your lungs.

Today, our currency (货币) is a mixture of metal coins and paper money, but it wasn’t always that way. Before metal coins and paper bills existed (存在), people used a lot of unusual things to buy what they needed. In one part of the world, for example, people used the sharks’ teeth for money, while in another place, rare seashells were money.

There are many fantastic facts about the history of money. Bright feathers were the lightest money used by people on a Pacific island. Stones were the heaviest money and some weighed over 500 pounds. Greece used a lot of metal coins which were smaller than apple seeds. They were the smallest money ever used.

No one knows for sure when people started using metal coins for money. Scientists have found coins dating from 600 BC, so we know they have been around for a long time. At first people used the precious metals, such as gold and silver to make coins. In the 1200s, people in China used iron (铁) coins for their currency. These coins weren’t worth very much, so people had to use a lot of them to make their purchases (购买物). Because iron coins were inconvenient, the government started printing paper bills. People took these bills to banks and traded them in for coins. This is the first example we have of paper money.

Today, most countries use a mixture of coins and paper bills for their currency. In some countries, the paper bills are all the same size and color. In many others, the bills come in various sizes and colors. This makes it easier for people to tell the value of their money.

In 2002, twelve European countries started using a completely new currency. It’s called the euro. Many Europeans miss their old currencies, but now it is easier to move money from one country to another.

Do you drink milk every day? We believe that milk is good for our health. But is that the whole truth? Let's take a closer look!

Milk might be one of the best things we can drink. It has a lot of nutrients（营养物质)to help children grow. It's rich in calcium(钙)and vitamins(维他命). Calcium gives us strong bones.

Doctors say that milk is also good for our teeth and heart. And a glass of warm milk helps us get a good night's sleep. Milk is great!

However, some studies show that milk may cause some health problems. For example, drinking a lot of milk(three or more times a day) may make children fat, Lives Science reported. Also, milk might not actually make our bones stronger. Scientists found that some people who drank more milk also had more broken bones;

So should we still drink milk? Milk may not be a superfood. But it does give us a lot of nutrients. Drink milk if you like it, but not because you think it is the best thing for your health.

Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but there are fewer and fewer birds now. One of the main reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance (机会) to live.

Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, most of them are allowed (允许) to go outside freely. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions (十亿) of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people’s yard, further weakening (削弱) their health.

Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it’s also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks (攻击) from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don’t live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.

Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it’s your duty to let it play inside.
