【推荐3】Healthy eating habits along with regular exercise is the only way to become fit. If we have the correct number of calories (卡路里) and exercise regularly, we will lose weight, keep fit and feel great, too.
During teenage years, it is important to give our body the energy(能量) it needs. If we don't eat meals, we won't get enough calories, and then we will feel tired. By the way, calorie is just another word for energy. About 50% of our calories should come from rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. We also need to drink a lot of water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. Drinking enough water will make our skin better and keep us healthy.
Exercise is something that can help to make us look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts (专家) suggest that teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising a day, five times a week. That's easy to do! They can walk or ride our bike to school, and do sports at school. However, some teenagers often give up sports, saying they have no time left after their studies.

Have you ever heard of English Language Day? It was first celebrated on 23rd April, 2010. It was chosen on such a day because Shakespeare was born on April 23rd, 1564. The purpose of it is to tell people the history, culture and achievements of the language.
The story of the English language began when Germanic tribes (部落) invaded (入侵) Britain and brought their languages with them. Later, Scandinavian Vikings invaded and lived with their languages too. In 1066, Norman-French became the language of the official activity.
By Shakespeare’s time, modern English had developed. Printing had been invented and people had to start to agree on “correct” spelling and vocabulary (词汇). In both 1500s and 1600s, the English language was going through a lot of changes. And Shakespeare’s creativity in the language meant he gave hundreds of new words and phrases that are still used today. Shakespeare influenced modern English greatly.

【推荐3】It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data (数据) from 27 countries and regions (地区) that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (每公顷).
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing.
Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.
One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation (种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.
