It’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions:
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer(冷冻室)
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you’re ready to eat them. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.

【推荐3】THE GIRL WAS CHOKED WITH A PIECE OF COOKIE
First aid is the science of giving medical care to a person before a doctor can be found. Knowing how to treat someone in an emergency (紧急情况) can mean the difference between life and death.
Many emergency medical methods are simple and easy to carry out. For example, several years ago, a five-year-old boy in America was playing with a young friend. Suddenly the friend stopped breathing. A piece of candy was stuck in her throat. The boy remembered a television program where the same thing had happened. He also remembered what people on the television program did to help the person who had stopped breathing. The same method was quickly used on his friend. The cookie flew out of the girl’s throat. She was breathing again. The young boy had saved his friend’s life.
The simple method used by the five-year-old boy is called the Heimlich maneuver（操作法）. It was developed by an American doctor, Henry Heimlich.
The Heimlich maneuver can be done in several different ways. If a choking person is sitting or standing, you should stand directly behind him. Put your arms around his waist (腰).
Make one of your hands into the shape of a ball, and place it over the top part of the stomach, below the ribs (肋骨).
Next, put one hand over the other and push in and upward greatly. Repeat the method until the object is out.

Drink water often
When you’re really thirsty (口渴的), water is the No. I choice (选择). How much do kids need? If you are older than 12 years old, drink 3 cups a day.
Listen to your body

What’s screen time? It’s the time you spend watching TV or using the computer. Try to spend at most two hours a day on the screen.
Be active (积极的)
What activities do you like best? Find ways to be active every day. You can write down lots of things to do, and then you can do them when your parents say it’s time to stop watching TV or playing computer games!

【推荐2】Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. Go to someplace to cool off (冷静下来). Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. If you don’t think you can speak to them in a good way at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Talk about your values (价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes (目的) in life.
A good relationship with parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth trying!

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“I browse (浏览) Douyin almost 20 times a day.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like this? They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction. The people with Internet addiction spend more than 30 to 40 hours online every week.
A study shows that about 10% Internet users have Internet addiction. They can’t get off the Internet easily. Some young people spend more time on the Internet than with family and friends. That’s why some experts (专家) worry most about them.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms:
①You go out with your friends less and less.
②You can’t wait to get online again.
③You want to cut short the time online, but then you still spend several hours.
④You do not take part in important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
How to solve the Internet addiction? Some experts advise people to set strict limits (限制) on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet will control you.
