Because of COVID-19, people may have bad feelings, such as sadness, anxiety and fear. Helping yourself and your family members keep a positive attitude will be very important. Below are four ways to keep your body and mind strong.
•Recognize and accept your feelings
When you stay at home for a long time, it is normal to feel upset or anxious. The first step is to recognize and accept these feelings. It means being honest about your feelings. Don’t hide your feelings. Accepting your feelings can actually help you manage them.
•Keep a healthy lifestyle
Keep a balanced diet and follow a daily routine (惯例). People who stay at home for a long time may easily have their routine turned upside down. Some people may stay up late at night and fail to get up during the day. Sleep is important for your personal health. Good sleep, especially deep sleep, can reduce anxiety.
•Exercise regularly
Physical exercise is also an effective way to reduce anxiety. Even a small amount of physical exercise can immediately make you feel better. And it works for people of all ages. At this time, you probably could not do outdoor exercise. But you should still do some exercise at home. If you need exercise tips, try downloading an app or find them online.
•Talk to someone
Humans are social animals. If our need to socialize (社交) is not met, it may lead to bad feelings. Luckily, it is easy to connect with relatives and friends. Call someone or send a message on WeChat.

【推荐1】Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD (an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.
1. Do activities you enjoy.
Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up (俯卧撑), can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.
2. Exercise after work.
Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated (有动力的) that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.
3. Exercise even when you are tired.
Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen (氧气) exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.
4. Notice that you are better than before.
It's great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.
5. Walk with a pedometer (计步器)
Not everyone can start out with 10,000 steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300 extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000 steps a day.
Complete the summary of the passage above with one word for each blank.
According to WebMD, there are some easy ways to make exercise a habit. First, when you do activities you enjoy, such as push﹣up, you don't have to consider
Mistakes are great teachers.
Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful? Of course not.
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need to cost what must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, don’t run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember why you make it and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

People eat differently every day. A photographer, Peter Menzel travels to many different countries to see what people eat and how they keep well.
Bruce, 23, works on a beach. He's an Australian lifeguard (救生员). He has different kinds of food. He eats a bowl of yoghurt with a banana for breakfast, and he drinks orange juice. He has a sandwich for lunch and meat and vegetables for dinner.
Yao is 16. She's an acrobat (杂技演员) and works in the circus. She lives in China. She wants to keep slim so she eats food with low fat. She has soya milk and fruit for breakfast. For lunch, she has a bowl of rice with meat, eggs, and onions. She doesn’t have dinner because she performs in a show every evening.
Akbar, 45, is an Indian bread baker. He likes meat very much. He has eggs, salad, and some tea for breakfast. He doesn't stop working to have lunch.

You need to have good eating habits. Breakfast gives you enough energy (能量) for the morning.

Playing sports can also help you keep fit. But sometimes accidents (事故) can happen, so try to stay safe when you play them. It’s necessary for you to learn about first aid (急救).
Happiness is important for your health. You may feel ill (生病) if you are always unhappy. So try to be happy and you’ll feel better.
You must stay away from smoking (吸烟) and drinking. Many students think it’s cool to smoke and drink. But they don’t know they can bring many illnesses.

Physical exercise is good for our mind and body. Today, since the Internet is widely used, workout (锻炼) videos are becoming very popular.
One of my friends, Lin Feng, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live (直播) programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute,” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym (健身房) because I don’t like being watched by others.” he said.
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P. E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.
“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder,” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, first, choose proper programs or videos. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”
1. Why are workout videos becoming very popular today?2. What did Michael think of workout videos?
3. What is the problem of working out without someone else in person?
4. Which way will you choose if you do physical exercise? Why? Write 30words or more.
To find out the relationship between healthy habits and longevity (寿命), some scientists studied data from more than 78,000 men. Results came out online in Circulation on April 30, 2018.
They found the following healthy habits could help people live longer.
Diet—get the daily recommended amounts of vegetables, fruit, whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids and take less red meats and drinks with added sugar.
Smoking—well, there is no healthy amount of smoking. “Healthy” here means never having smoke. People who smoke may die earlier from cancer or other serious diseases.
Exercise—getting at least 3.5 hours of physical activity each week.
Drinking—drink only moderate amounts of alcohol (one drink or less a day for women or two drinks or less a day for men).
Body weight—keep a normal weight (body mass index, or BMI, between 18.5 and 24.9).
This study shows the importance of following healthy habits for improving longevity.
However, very few people develop healthy habits. So, the government should do more to create healthy food and social environments to support and promote.

【推荐3】Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If your answer is yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool! It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1,000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories (卡路里).
In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is not dangerous or hard to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

Lonely Planet, the world-famous travel guide (旅游指南), suggests interesting places for people to visit every year. For its "2018 Best in Asia" list, they picked only one place in China Sichuan.
What makes Sichuan so special? As Lonely Planet puts it, you can have a true taste (体验)of everything China has to offer in Sichuan.
In Sichuan, you see art like bianlian, a kind of ancient opera (古典戏剧). Performers change their masks (面具) very fast --- so fast that it looks like magic (魔术).
There is great food in Sichuan, too. It is famous for the use of Sichuan peppers (花椒) and hot chilis. In fact, Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital city, has more restaurants than any other city in the world --- around 40,000!
Sichuan also has lots of beautiful natural scenery (自然风景). In Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park, you see colorful lakes, thick forests (稠密的森林) and spectacular waterfalls (壮观的瀑布).
Finally, Sichuan is home to one of the world’s cutest animals. More than 30 percent of the world’s giant pandas live there.

Students learn their lessons in class. In class teachers teach them, and students sit there listening to the teachers. This is a way to learn. Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn. Students can teach themselves (他们自己). For example, if you cannot remember (记住) something when you are doing your homework, you can look through (浏览) your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it is not difficult. We can do this at any place and at any time.
How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is to read something interesting. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. Many clever students often do this. The questions are about something you don’t understand or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. The third is to answer the questions by thinking hard, by reading the texts or other books or by asking other people. These are ways of teaching yourself. And if you do these things for a long time, you will become a good learner.
