1 . Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy（富有的）and wise（明智的）.
This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become rich!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood（血液）to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition（营养）to all parts of our bodies. The brains（大脑）in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to work well. Without air, we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean and fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

2 . Chinese has a long history. It has shaped other languages in Asia the way Latin has shaped languages in the West. With this history, will Chinese have a surprising future?
Over one billion people speak Chinese in the world — far more than any other language. It is the language of the country which is soon to have the world's largest economy (经济). Chinese people are found studying and doing business all over the world.
In fact, Chinese is definitely going to be a world language. Why is this certain? We must look at the economic and political power (政治影响力) of China, which is increasing every day. In the past, world languages have always been the languages of countries with powerful economics. Latin, French and English were important because of the power of the countries that spoke those languages.
Foreign interest in Chinese has developed very quickly together with the development of the Chinese economy. Chinese has become one of the most important and popular languages to learn.
As China develops, more and more people will want to learn about Chinese language and culture, to work and study in China, and to do business with Chinese companies. Chinese will one day become an international language.

On October 31 every year, children in the US will see “witches（女巫）” and “ghosts” walking on the street. Is this the end of the world? No, but it is Halloween!
Halloween is exciting and popular with the people in the US and Canada because of many colorful activities held to celebrate it. One traditional and favorite game is trick-or-treat.
During the night of Halloween, children who wear scary clothes walk around the town. They knock on nearby houses and shout, “trick or treat!” This means “You can give us some candies, or we’ll play a trick on you!” Most people love giving sweets to children. So there are seldom tricks. Some schools also hold Halloween parties. Sometimes, teachers are happy to dress up and join in the party. Grown-ups may visit haunted houses. It can be very scary sometimes.
But they just love following the saying “The scarier, the better.” What exciting night of scares!

In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar(阴历) is called Layue. The month is full of interesting festivals and customs.

10 . There are many deserts on the earth. And the following are some facts you may find interesting.
What are deserts like?
Deserts can be hot and dry places. Rain may not fall there for months or years. Some deserts are sandy and stony（多石的）. Deserts can also be very windy places. The wind can change the shape of the deserts. It moves sand around from place to place.
Temperatures in the desert can be different so much. During the daytime, the temperature may reach 40℃ even in the shade（阴凉处）. At night deserts can become very cold. In winter there may even be a frost（霜冻）in the early morning.
Living in the desert
The camel is sometimes called “the ship of the desert”. It stores food in its hump（驼峰）and can go for days without water. It has large feet which help it not to fall into the soft sand. Its long eyelashes（睫毛）keep out the sand during sandstorms.
An oasis is an area of the desert where water may be found. The water may be in pools or under the ground. People and animals visit an oasis for water and food. Plants grow at an oasis. Some farmers are able to grow crops here.
The Arabian Desert
The Arabian Desert lies between the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf（海湾）. In some parts of the desert, it is too hot for people to live. Oil was discovered under parts of the desert and in the Arabian Gulf. This oil has made some countries in the area very rich. Much of the money has been spent building fine cities with lovely parks and lakes, and people live a comfortable life there.
