【推荐3】For a few years, I had a chance to teach disabled preschool（就学前的）students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable（值得纪念的）students was a 5-year-old girl named Mary. She had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons. Mary liked to sit on my lap（大腿）. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response（口令与回应）song where I sang the call and the students clapped（拍手）twice while singing the repeating part, “Oh, yes!”. Mary liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. But she never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Mary looked at me in the eye, clapped her little hands twice and said the words, “Oh, yes!” In that moment, I was the one who could not speak.
Several years later, I passed Mary as I was walking through town. I stopped my car and waved（挥手）to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and clapped her hands twice, singing the song we had done so many times in music class. This little girl, through her connection（联系）with music, left an impression（印象）on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. As teachers, we just have to find a way to help every student we meet, no matter what their situation is.

Food is an important part of everyone’s life, but it can become a problem when it’s all you think about. If you are trying to make a change in your diet, you may be fighting against continuous thoughts about food that you are hungering for. To keep food off your mind, follow the following tips and start a healthy relationship with food.
Sometimes your body gets some wrong message and tells you that you’re hungry when you really just need some water. Keep a water bottle with you during the day and drink water very often. If you start to think about food, drink some water to see if it makes you not feel hungry anymore.
If you buy things like cookies, chips, and soda, you’re probably going to think about them while they are sitting in your kitchen. Avoid the temptation by only buying healthy foods. Create a shopping list before you go shopping and stick to it as much as you can. Never go to the food store while you are hungry. This can cause you to buy unhealthy food that you are hungering for.
If you’re starting to think about food, try getting up and going for a ride a run, or even a round of soccer with your friends. Exercise is a great way to keep your mind and body occupied while meeting your fitness goals. Try to find a physical activity that you like doing so that you look forward to it. Hiking, rock climbing, weight training, and swimming are all great activities to get your body moving.
If you’re just sitting in your home, you are more likely to think about all the food that is in your kitchen. Go for a walk around the block, run some errands. or head to a movie to keep your mind off food. If you have a pet,take them for a short walk around your neighborhood as an excuse to get out of the house.
Sometimes your brain may still be focused on food. Try keeping a diary to write in whenever you feel like food is on your mind. Write down what you did that day, how you are feeling, and what your goals are. Get creative with your diary by adding pictures or stickers as decoration. Use a pocket-sized diary to keep with you whenever you might need it.
| A．Get yourself out of the house. |
| B．Add healthy fats to your diet. |
| C．Keep junk food out of the house. |
| D．Do a fun physical activity that you enjoy. |
| E．Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated（补水）. |
| F．Write in a diary to keep a record of your thoughts. |
【推荐2】To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal .
After tracking more than 20, 000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the UK from about 1993 to 2008, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than who didn't.
"We're known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council. "The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from. "
Study participants(参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.
"We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, " said Dr Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. "The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(埋论上地) possible. "
"Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them," Susan Jebb said. "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change. "
1. We can infer from the passage that _____________ .| A．people are unaware of the harm of their bad habits |

More children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children and teenagers were overweight or obese（肥胖的）, according to the National Health Commission.
Being too fat is bad for children's health. According to the World Health Organization（WHO）, overweight and obese children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes（糖尿病）at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of premature（过早的）death.
On Oct 23, the National Health Commission, together with five other national departments（部门）, worked out a plan to prevent and control obesity. The plan aims to cut the average annual（每年的）growth rate of obesity among children aged 0-18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported.
Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices（电子产品）could also be a cause.
According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical activity. Primary and secondary school students should have at least three hours of vigorous（剧烈的）physical activity each week.
Parents should reduce their children's use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.

【推荐1】Do you have a favorite place to go—a place with family, good weather, and fun things to do like crabbing (抓螃蟹)? I’m glad I do. New Jersey is my favorite place for many reasons.
The first reason is my family. Over half of my family lives in New Jersey. When I visit, my cousins and I laugh and play all day and night. My uncles and aunts take me to the boardwalk where we ride roller coasters (过山车). We try juicy apples and foot-long hot dogs. My family is fun to be with.
The second reason for New Jersey being my favorite place is the weather. Instead of being hot, it’s always cool. When I think about my visits, I can just feel the cool autumn wind in my hair. I can just see the white, soft winter snow. I can just hear the soft spring rain splashing on the sidewalks. I can just feel the warm summer sun on my face. The weather is great!
The third reason for New Jersey being my favorite place is crabbing. If it’s crab season, we crab. We keep the blue crabs and the snow crabs, and we let the others go. Sometimes we catch crabs on hooks (钩子), and sometimes we lower crab cages (笼子) into the water. Then we pull them out later. One time my brother caught a crab so big that it got stuck in the crab cage!The crab finally got out, but it hurt one of its legs and broke the cage. Poor crab!
For all these reasons, New Jersey is my favorite place to go. If you don’t have a favorite place, I think you should search for one. It’s good to visit a favorite place—a place where you can make special memories.

【推荐2】“The first of June, and the King family is going on holiday tomorrow!” said Meg. “I’m free for three months!”
“And Aunt March went away for her holiday today.” said Jo. “Isn’t life wonderful!”
“What will you do all your holiday?” asked Amy.
“I’ll stay in bed late, and do nothing.” said Meg.
“I’ll have lots of books to read.” said Jo.
“Let’s not do any studying, Beth.” said Amy. “Let’s play all the time and rest, as Jo and Meg are going to do.”
“I will if Mother doesn’t mind.” said Beth.
Mrs. March agreed to the plan and said they could try it for a week.
“But,” she added, “I think by Saturday night you will find that all play and no work is as bad as all work and no play.”
Next day, Meg appeared at ten o’clock and ate breakfast alone. It was a lonely meal and the room was untidy because Beth had not cleaned it.
Jo went to the river with Laurie, then sat in the apple tree and read a book. Beth began to tidy things in her cupboard, but she got tired and left it half-done. She went to her piano, glad that she did not have to wash the cups and plates. Amy sat in the garden to draw, hoping someone would see her and say something nice about her picture. But no one appeared, so she went for a walk, got caught in the rain and came home very wet.
At tea, everyone said it had been a happy but unusually long day. Meg, who had been shopping in the afternoon, now decided that she did not like the dress she had bought. Jo had a headache from reading too long. Beth couldn’t find anything in her cupboard, and the rain had made Amy’s dress so wet that she couldn’t wear it to Katy Brown’s party the next day.
Mrs. March listened, smiled and said nothing.
The week seemed to get longer and longer with nothing much to do, and by Friday the girls were glad that it was nearly over. Then Mrs. March gave Hannah a week of holiday, and when the girls got up on Saturday, there was no breakfast ready, no fire in the kitchen, and no mother waiting for them.
“What has happened?” said Jo.
Meg ran upstairs, and then came down to say that Mother was staying in her room to have a rest.
“She says we must look after ourselves today.” Meg said.
“Good. I want something to do so.” said Jo.
Secretly, they were all pleased to have something useful again. Beth and Amy put cups and plates on the table while Jo and Meg got the breakfast, then Meg took some tea and an egg up to Mrs. March. The tea was too strong and egg was burned. Mrs. March did not complain, but she laughed to herself afterwards.

【推荐3】Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best and keep up with all of your tasks if you don’t sleep well. I’m sure you already know that you should go to bed at a proper hour. Most experts agree that the best number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will influence your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the result showed that teenagers facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at suitable times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon (现象) : FOMO—Fear Of Missing Out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check their phones. Afraid of missing a reply or chance to join in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying facts that I’d like to share with you: 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use phones. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.
One in three students are always tired and unable to study well. Students who use phones during the night are more possible to suffer from depression (抑郁) and anxiety (焦虑). So switch off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your phones will be waiting to greet you in the morning. I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important.
