1 . Hi, everyone! I’m Jack. Do you want to keep healthy? Here are my ideas.
Take lots of exercise
Some students like watching TV or playing computer games. But they can’t make you healthy. Playing sports can. I often get some exercise with my friends in the park. Exercise makes me strong.
Eat healthy food
I like eating fruit and vegetables. They can help us stay healthy and strong. But my brother likes eating candy and chocolate. It’s not good to eat too much because there’s a lot of sugar and fat (脂肪) in them.
Drink lots of water and milk
Water is good for us but fizzy drinks (碳酸饮料)aren’t, because fizzy drinks have lots of sugar. Too much sugar is bad for our teeth. Milk is good because it has lots of calcium (钙). The calcium can help keep our teeth strong.

5 . In England, people used to stand on the right of escalators(扶梯), allowing others to walk on the left. But there is some change to this rule. People can stand on both sides of escalators at Holborn station. As one of the busiest stations of London Underground, Holborn was the first station in the country to ask travelers to stand on both the right and left sides of escalators. A test was carried out first. The test which lasted for three weeks showed that standing on both sides actually reduced(减少)congestion by 30 percent—16 , 220 people an hour are able to travel on the escalator during rush hours compared to the usual 12 ,745 when both standing and walking are allowed.
Transport for London (TfL) hopes the new standing rule will make the most of wasted space on longer escalators, where most people choose to wait on the right. London Underground Operation director Peter McNaught said, Few customers choose to walk on longer escalators such as at Holborn, so much of the left-hand side is unused. We hope that this can lead to reduced congestion at Holborn and make journeys easier for all of our customers.”

6 . A telephone is an electric tool. Using a telephone, two people who are in different places can talk. Early telephones needed to be connected with wires. Now telephone calls can be sent with radio. This is called wireless.
Most people believe that it was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. He was a 29-year-old Scotsman living in the US. In 2002 the US Congress agreed that Antonio Meucci developed and patented (取得专利) a working telephone in the US in 1871. This was five years earlier than Bell. Meucci was unable to find someone to provide him with the money to finance (筹集资金) his project. His wife was sick and had to stay in bed. Meucci invented his “teletrofono” to talk to her while he worked in his workshop.

7 . The human brain weighs about 1. 4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to.
But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says“Hi! I'm Carlos,”don't just say“Hello. " Repeat the person's name. Say“（1） __________ "
Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts-109/244/153-it becomes easier.
Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas or facts.
Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong,and it will lead to the right answer.
Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow （2）them, you are certain to improve your memory.

8 . Nowadays many new and useful inventions have come into use. If I were a scientist, I would have my own invention——a magic door, a door that can take me to every part of the world, just like Doraemon's magic door.
Since our life is getting busier and busier, my magic door is really needed. The population of the world is rising day by day，and the number of cars used is getting larger. Therefore，the traffic jam becomes a big problem to people in both poor and developed countries. Moreover，by using a large number of cars，people have to face another problem：the pollution of air. All those reasons lead to the need for such an invention as a magic door. It can take the place of the traditional ways of transportation.
Magic doors have many advantages. Firstly, you can go wherever you want in a minute. Just open the door and go through it，you can stand in another place. Two parts of the door are two parts of the world. Thus, magic doors can meet the need for discovering new places for people. Secondly，magic doors sometimes can even make people safe. Magic doors can be used in everyday life. If you dropped into a river accidentally, for example, people would go there immediately to help you get out of danger by using magic doors.
All in all, people can benefit（得益）a lot from magic doors. If magic doors were invented and came into use widely，not just imagination，there would be a big change in our life！

9 . GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes. or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand. or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources，we are short of others，for example，fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it. 3I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening. For example，turn off the water taps when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on. Little by little，everything will be changed.
4Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best.
