【推荐2】Last month we asked 1055 students in our city about their living habits. They are teenagers between 13 and 16 years old. Our questions were about exercise, eating fruit and vegetables, and doing eye exercises. The results are shown below:
More and more students pay attention to their health. However, it’s difficult for them to exercise quite often because of hard schoolwork. Some students don’t have any time to exercise. The survey shows that most of them eat fruit and vegetables very often. Most students do eye exercises every day, which improves the situation of short-sighted (近视眼的) students.
Experts suggest that students should balance their exercise and diet. Parents should manage to spend more time with their children going out to nature to exercise and enjoy themselves. It is good for both the mind and the body.

Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise?
Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times.
_________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.
Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
1. Which of the following charts shows the change in your metabolic rate after you complete plank exercise?A． | B． | C． | D． |
| A．they are drunk | B．their muscles are tired |
| C．their muscles are weak | D．they have fewer muscles |

【推荐3】People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual (个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry.

When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

【推荐1】At the age of 19, an American student called Ron Steen decided to put a very unusual item up for sale on the website of eBay: his own future, that is, 2% of the money that he will make by working. He needed the money to pay for his university studies. This was how he described the offer: “After I finish my education, I plan on making at least 30 million dollars in my lifetime. When I meet my goal, you will make six times more than you pay at the time.”
Ron said the sale was a fantastic bargain because he was a very talented person; he was certain to become a millionaire. But some people had questions about the truth of his description. For example, he said his score in a national maths exam was 900. In fact, the full score of the exam was only 800 — so perhaps his maths was not so good! And in the end, eBay decided that his action was against the rules and stopped it. Ron’s father lent him the money for university. However, the story about Ron Steen came out in the news on TV and the Internet all around the world. So perhaps he has a successful future in advertising(广告业)!

Many years ago, my boss stayed up playing with her mobile phone and got badly ill because of that. Now she always leaves her phone in another room when going to sleep.
