1 . If you often feel tired and the doctor can’t find anything wrong with you, you may be in a state of Sub health (亚健康). Sub health is a state between health and illness.

If you are sub healthy, it is not difficult for you to become well soon. You should have good living habits. For example, you should get up early and go to bed early.

4 . At some point in our lives during childhood, we have been told to “jump more” in order to grow taller. A couple in China encouraged their 12-year-old son to jump 1,000 times a day. They had also offered him 10 yuan for every 1,000 jumps he did. Why would any parent want their child to jump a thousand times every single day? This kid is 145cm, and the average height for kids of that age is 152cm. As typical Asian parents, they want him to grow taller and they also believed that jumping could help.

The boy’ s father gave him a jump rope and managed to convince (说服) him to start jumping. From that day on, he used the jump rope every day unless he fell sick, and he even jumped up to 3,000 times per day. After one whole year of jumping, the parents rewarded a total of 4,000 yuan. However, the boy not only did not grow taller, but he ended up being the shortest student in his class.

It turns out that he had been, spending the money that he earned on unhealthy snacks like potato chips! This explained the mystery where he often lost his appetite (食欲) at the dinner table and the “unexplainable” weight gain. His parents thought he was going through a hard time with study, but he was actually just snacking endlessly.

So, this is a clear example of how jumping rope does not help kids grow taller. Parents should really just accept that height is mainly affected by the parents’ genes, and also a healthy, balanced diet.

C．Because he wasn’t good at his study.	D．Because he got hurt while jumping

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Exercise is important in the children’s growth.

B．It’s not right to ask the kids to jump rope.

C．Parents’ traditional thought turns out to be not correct.

D．The height of children mainly depends on sleep and diet.

5 . Of course you don’t want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while traveling? There are three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.

A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. There were so many places to visit: shops, parks, churches, and so on. You may spend most of the days walking around these places. This can be tiring. Don’t ask your body to do so much. A tired body means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down quietly in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay up late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.

Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. This means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit, vegetables and milk.

So remember this: If you want to enjoy your vacation, take care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

7 . Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.

1. Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.

2. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar just includes calories, not important nutrition.

3. Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.

4. Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

8 . Overweight(超重) is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What’s worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults(成人). If you’re obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here’s good news. You can fight overweight.

Change your eating habits

You are what you eat. Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What’s more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No. 12, kids picked a healthy snack — fruit. So, think about your snack choice again.

Get outside to exercise

Jim, a player on his school football team. had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.

More TV means more fat

Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV(or more Internet surfing, or more computer games) means more fat.

Eat an apple a day, walk around the house, play with your family … Do it today, and do it more tomorrow. It will help you a lot.

9 . The best thing to start your day is a good breakfast. “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a poor person", as the old saying tells us, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides us with energy after a long night without food.

If people don't have breakfast in the morning, they will feel tired and get angry easily. Breakfast helps children stay more focused（专注的）in school. A study showed that children who eat breakfast regularly get higher test results in most subjects. Breakfast is also important for weight loss（减少）. If you have a balanced breakfast, you will eat less throughout the day.

A healthy and balanced（均衡的）breakfast should include some protein（蛋白质）like eggs, milk or a little meat, which makes you energetic all day. Carbohydrates（碳水化合物）like rice or bread keep you active. Vegetables and fruit have the vitamins（维他命）that humans need.

In China, breakfast is different from area to area. Porridge with pickles（腌菜）, baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common throughout the whole country.

10 . Children who eat three or more hamburgers a week are more likely to suffer from asthma（哮喘）, researchers say. However, they say that the risk may not be caused by the meat-rich diet（饮食）itself, but by a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The study looked at 50,000 children from 20 countries. Parents were asked about their children's eating habits and whether they had ever suffered from asthma. The effects of their diet seemed to be different depending on where they lived. Fruit and vegetables are more helpful in less affluent parts of the world, while eating lots of fish was more helpful in richer countries. Eating at least three hamburgers a week was linked to（与……有联系）a greater risk of asthma, but only in wealthier countries.

Dr Gabriele Nagel said different things may cause asthma in different parts of the world. “This gives us more understanding of how asthma affects（影响）different people, and its effects in developing countries as well as developed countries,” she said.

High levels of unhealthy fat in hamburgers could increase the risk of asthma. However, the researchers said children who ate several hamburgers a week were likely to have other unhealthy lifestyle habits as well.

Researchers said the study helped us understand how asthma and diet are connected. “Previous studies have shown that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help to reduce a child's risk of developing asthma symptoms,” Dr Elaine Vickers said. “Our advice to parents is to make sure that children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”
