【推荐1】Memory is very important. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.

So, how can you improve your memory?

It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.

If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.

If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.

So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.

【推荐2】A good breakfast is important. It is not hard to understand. You have had nothing to eat about twelve hours all the night. Your body needs food for morning activities. One good breakfast should be rice or bread, an egg, milk and fruit. On a cold morning, a cup of hot drink is necessary (必要的). You must get up early to have enough time to eat breakfast. A good breakfast helps you to be more healthy and also to work better and play more happily. All your day will be more fun after you have a good breakfast.

【推荐3】Lots of people love to keep pets, but they don’t know how to communicate with their pets. Are you one of the pet keepers? If your answer is “yes”, here are some suggestions for you.

1.Talk with your pet.

Although your pet may not exactly understand your words, he can at least pick up on the tone of your words and your body language when you talk to him. For example, if you speak with him in a stern voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior.

2.Use non-verbal(非语言的) communication.

Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used in training your pet to do a certain activity. For example, if you are sitting on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to command your horse to turn around. When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually combine verbal and non-verbal communication (hand signals) to give him the ‘sit’ command.

3.Avoid punishing your pet.

Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly lose trust and respect that he has for you. What’s more, some pets, like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for.

【推荐1】We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day. Many of us have become so reliant on them. However, it is bad for our eyes and health to use too much phone.

A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, themselves, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1,500 times to do different tasks in an average (通常的) week. And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. That is to say, people use their phones for almost one full day each week.

Using phones will take much time and it's also bad for our health. Many people stay up late to play phones. And mobile phones will influence our sleep. Without using the phones, many people will feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing they’re doing so.

How do you think people use their phones too much?

【推荐3】Sherlock Holmes, the world’s greatest detective(侦探), is not a real person.

He is a character from Writer Conan Doyle’s books. Since he created Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures, one after another.

In the books, Holmes is thin and tall. He often wears a cap and long coat. He thinks and speaks very fast. He smokes and plays the violin. He is good at watching and analyzing (分析) things. He also knows a lot about chemistry.

But Holmes is lonely and unhappy. He is arrogant and often speaks to others impolitely. It seems that no one likes him except Watson. They are close friends and good partners. They trust each other and help each other out of danger.

People look to Sherlock for both adventure and logical(逻辑)thinking. Each adventure shows us an exciting journey. In the journey, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for truth.

Yet Holmes is no Superman. He can’t fly or have super power. But his powers are within of us: reason and logical thinking. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his cleverness. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.
