Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.
Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of (大量的) time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

【推荐2】In the world today, all of the people need to have fun when we are free. We can’t work or stay in the office and classroom all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life. So it is necessary for us to take part in some activities of relaxing.
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form (形式) is to take part in sports. We have all kinds of sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and soccer. There are also individual sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation (消遣) for people who like to be outdoors.
But not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people don’t like being outdoors. Instead of that, they prefer to watch them on TV or listen to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.
It doesn’t matter whether we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time, and enjoy some forms of recreation. Let’s choose our own way of relaxing and shake our body together. Remember: health must come first.

Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front of it may takes years off your life. Watching less television may help you live a much longer life.
Australian researchers surveyed more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that if people watched TV for six hours a day, they lived about 4.8 years less than those who didn’t watch any television. Also, people who are over the age of 25 lose 22 minutes of life for each hour of TV that they watch.
Sitting in front of the television isn’t healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you’ll get. And the less exercise you get, the more likely (有可能的) it is that you’ll get sick.
Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led the study, says watching too much TV will be bad for people’s life expectancies (预期寿命), even for people who have a good diet. He thinks it’s reasonable for doctors to start asking their patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be an indicator (指标) of someone’s overall health.
Therefore, Veerman has called on people to turn off the TV and get off the sofa to get some exercise. “Exercise is good,” he said. “Even light activity is good for health.”
1. Australian researchers did a study on ________.| A．how much time people spend watching TV |
| B．what people usually do to relax |

【推荐2】Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day, we learn to deal with all kinds of problems.
________ Love makes you feel wanted. Without love, a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Things like failure and illness may bring sadness, but sadness will pass away.
Failure is the way to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings money, fame and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hours, because after every night there is a day.

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw(麦秆)? Most people would probably see it as the waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor (非遗传承人), can turn the straw into beautiful and eye-catching artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving (草编) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins in Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works, also records that there were already things made of grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty.
Choosing materials is the first step. It is a difficult process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to draw the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and finally keeping the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In Wu’s opinion, straw weaving should meet people’s needs and preferences. In the past, the materials could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But with the development of industry, products by machines began to take their place. “To help the skill develop, craftsmen should make a great effort to master the chances of the times to create new products,” she says.
When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving skill.

| C．The history of straw weaving. | D．The making process of straw weaving. |
| A．Skilled workers. | B．Creative painters. | C．Ancient writers. | D．Powerful emperors. |
| A．Choosing materials. | B．Drawing the pieces on paper. |
| C．Keeping finished works. | D．Making the artworks lifelike. |
| A．Straw-weaving products are out of date nowadays. |
| B．Machines make straw-weaving products practical. |
| C．Local people get a lot from the straw-weaving skill. |
