1 . “Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. It means that when we go to bed early, we can get up early the next morning. Then we will become healthy. We will also become rich and clever.
This is true. To be healthy, we must have enough sleep. Experts(专家) say that adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Teenagers need nine to ten hours.

We also need exercise. Walking, running, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps us strong. It also helps the blood to move around the body. This is very important. Our blood takes the nutrition(营养) from food to all parts of our body.
The head also needs blood. So exercise that moves the blood to our head helps us think better!

3 . A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. The water ways have always been the best way to get around. There are 177 canals and more than 400 bridges that can guide you to where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by about 23 centimetres. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) melt(融化) .
Every year, high water hits the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which is planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

6 . Different weather makes people feel different. It influences people’s health, intelligence（智力）and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems. In the Northeast, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these places have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ（智商）of a group of students was very high when a strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10 percent lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. On the other hand, very hot weather can make your intelligence lower. Students in many school of the United States often get worse grades on exams in the hot months of the year.
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel very cold during these months. So they might feel unhappy during cold winter. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.
Low air pressure（低气压）may make people forgetful. People forget more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Do you feel sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

9 . 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.

10 . 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.
