1 . For kids, it's very important to stay healthy. Kids should pay more attention to their lifestyle and help themselves have healthy life habits. Here are some tips on staying healthy for kids.
Kids hardly care about basic hygiene（卫生）, they share everything from drink to snacks. So it is important for kids to know the basic hygiene habits such as washing hands before eating, brushing teeth at least twice a day and so on. Similarly, kids should protect themselves from other kids with different kinds of infections（传染病）.
Healthy eating helps to live a healthy life. Kids should pay attention to the eating habits. Encourage themselves to eat healthy food such as fresh fruit and vegetables. And eat different kinds of food at different ages. Kids should know junk food is bad for health and try to eat less junk food.
Different activities can be planned to teach kids the importance of staying healthy. Some simple reading materials can let the kids know about their bodies. Also, playing games about brushing teeth, having meals is very useful and funny for kids. Certain group games and activities or even funny street plays can also help the kids understand the importance of staying healthy.

2 . Can we forget bad memories? Someone might tell you that time is the only “cure”（解药）.But this might be not true.
Researchers at Canada’s McGill University have tested a pill (药片) that can help you forget bad memories. They tested it on 60 people and found it to be successful.
All 60 people had painful memories and wanted to forget them. In the study, they were asked to write about these bad memories. Then, they took a pill that is usually used to treat (治疗) high blood pressure. They then recalled their bad memories by reading what they wrote earlier. In the end, they talked about their feelings, saying that they were finally able to forget their bad experiences.
Dr. Alain Brunet, who led the study, believes that the pill can ease (缓解) the pain that bad memories bring. People can take it after bad things happen to them.
How did the pill do this? In fact, your memories change all the time. They’re like text files (文件) on your computer. Every time you recall and “open” the files, you might happen to make some changes and “save” them. Researchers believe that the pill can stop proteins (蛋白质) in the brain from “resaving” these memories. This means some details (细 节) of the memory are lost.
However, there are some ethical (伦理的) worries about this treatment. Some people might use it to forget things that they should be learning from, such as when they committed (犯) a crime. People are discussing which kinds of memories should be forgotten with this pill.

3 . In recent years, the development of e-books is very fast. So which books are more popular? Here is a report on the matter. The report collects the opinions of more than 3,000 people.
According to the report, more than half of them choose to read printed books. About 26.8% of them prefer reading on their mobile phones. The rest are more likely to read on computers and e-book readers.
In the survey, many young readers tend (倾向) to read e-books. They think that e-books are very convenient and can satisfy their desire ( 愿 望 ) to read whenever they want. At the same time, they don’t have to think about how to keep their books anymore. In addition, e-books reduce the cost of printing and the use of paper, so reading e-books is still a good habit for the environment.
However, plenty of people don’t agree with their opinions, especially middle-aged people. Although printed books take up more space, they are good for eyes and convenient to take notes. What’s more, the feeling of printed books in your hand can make you calm down easily when you are under too much pressure. “I have every reason to believe that printed books will never disappear,” a super fan of printed books said.
Although people have different views ( 观点 ) on e-books and printed books, all of them believe that both of them have their own advantages. The more important thing is that everyone should choose his own way of reading to make reading a habit and benefit from it.

5 . Are you good at math? How about writing poems or painting beautiful pictures? Do you love to sing? It all depends on whether you are a "right-brain" or a "left-brain" person.
The human brain is a truly amazing organ(器官). It's not easy to study the brain, but science is slowly beginning to understand how it works. The brain is divided into two parts: the left side and the right side. Some people use the left side of the brain more than the right. Others use the right side more than the left.
Left-brain people are good at math, science and reading. They do well in school. They can easily pay attention to detailed tasks. They like to work independently, and often enjoy studying alone. Right-brain people are more artistic. They love music and singing. They like to be around lots of people. They don't like to sit still.
Mind mapping(思维导图) is designed to use both sides of your brain—mind mapping involves your right and left brain thinking. Our ability to speak and communicate seems to have its origin(根源)in the unlikely pairing(组合)of the left brain and the right hand.
The fact that you use one side of your brain more doesn't mean that you don't use the other side. It just means that you prefer one side to the other. One way is not better than the other. It only shows the way you learn best.

Chinese knots can be in different shapes. Each shape has its own symbolic(象征性的) meaning, and nowadays you can find them as gifts for special celebrations, and decorations on clothes. Each kind of knot is named after its shape or the symbolic meaning that it carries. Though knots are made in many kinds of colors, red is the most popular color because red means good luck in China.
It’s known that knots were used for artistic(艺术的) decoration and to express thoughts and feelings in the Tang Dynasty(618－907). And the traditional art form was carried on by generations as part of their culture.
Even today, Chinese knots are rich in symbolic meaning. Knots mean love and marriage in Chinese culture. In ancient times and even now, lovers may give a knot as a symbol of their love. The “true love knot” and the “double happiness knot” are given or used at weddings(婚礼) to express love and getting old together.

10 . It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain（劳损）, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect（影响） how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.
1. The blue light from your screens can cause ________.| A．eyestrain | B．headaches | C．dry eyes | D．all of the above |
