【推荐2】An interesting experiment (实验) is being done at the Children’s Hospital I in       London. Animals, such as dogs, cats, and even horses help sick children to get better.
There are many reasons why this treatment (治疗) is important. Dr. Marcus Finch of the Children’s Hospital said, “Children and teenagers have many changes as they are growing up. When they have problems, it is not easy for them to open up any talk. However, when they are with a pet animal, they calm down, relax, and smile. Animals do not speak and so they do not criticize (评论). They listen and they do not stop the children. Children can talk to animals because they can trust them. Animals know how to keep a secret! Also, the children feel needed because they help to feed the animals and look after them.”
At the Children’s Hospital, you can find children playing with cats, dogs, goats, and riding horses. The doctors just watch and take notes and wonder at the power of pets!

【推荐3】If the only sports you do are dancing your fingers across your keyboard, you could be in serious danger of more than just becoming overweight and out of shape.
Do you often feel sleepy, like something is weighing down on your head? Do you feel forgetful? Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable up and down your neck and lower back, and you can’t explain why? Do you get sick often? It could be radiation (辐射) from your computer causing it. If you spend three hours or more a day in front of a computer (and at this point, who doesn’t?), you are more easily harmed by the hazards.
We have got so used to using computers that we often neglect (忽视) to think of them as dangerous sources of harmful radiation. A safe amount of radiation is 25 V/m (Volts/meter). Do you want to guess how much our personal computers give off?
Keyboard: 1000 V/m
Mouse: 450 V/m
Monitor: 218V/m
CPU: 170V/m
Notebook computers: 2,500 V/m
Ways of Protect Yourself from Harmful Computer Radiation
1. Decorate your desk with cactus (仙人掌) plants, they take in radiation.
2. Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily. The vitamins in tea leaves and oranges protect us from radiation and keep our eyes healthy as well.
3. Use a screen filter（滤色镜） for your monitor.
4. Avoid having metal objects (金属物体) nearby on your desk.
5. Put the back of the computer to the wall. Most of the radiation comes off the back.
6. Keep your monitor at least 50cm away from your face.
7. Keep your computer rooms ventilated (空气流通的).
8. Eat healthily-----especially fruits and vegetables.
9. Don’t fall asleep on your computer. Turn it off if you have to rest nearby.
The ways above are useful, why not have a try at once?
1. Sitting to close to your computer for too long can cause                      .

【推荐1】The first Chinese actor captured (征服) the hearts of many Chinese in the USA. He read a letter by Zhuge Liang to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms Period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon (《虎啸龙吟》).

The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, translated by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor and Robert E. Hegel.

Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Monkey King isn’t new to Chinese children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.

As soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.

Chinese scholars (学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature (文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage Western schools to try something different.

Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.

【推荐1】One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet（兽医）from the city zoo, put the bear in a lorry and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities?

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons（狒狒）enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards（碗橱）and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.

Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors（监督员）working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.

In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them.

In Moscow there are 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is-10℃ and there is a lot of snow and ice.

In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them.

【推荐2】There are many kinds of plants in the world. Now I’ll tell you two kinds of them. They are very special and they are quite different from other plants.

Rafflesia arnoldii (大王花) People discovered this flower in Sumatra in 1818, and it is considered to be the largest flower in the world. It can grow up to one meter in diameter (直径), and weigh as much as 11 kg. Though Rafflesia arnoldii is a large flower, it is very difficult to find. It takes 9 to 21 months for the plant to develop, but its flower lasts for only five days. The flower can reach up to 6 meters tall and 4.8 meters wide, but it smells awful.

Dancing plant Have you ever watched a plant move all by itself? The dancing plant actually moves its leaves. It can grow up to 2 meters high. The period (时期) of its movements is from 3 to 5 minutes, and when all of the leaves move, it brings a very cool wind. The plant lives in Asia. People can also find it in the South Pacific.
