4 . Food and water are necessary for our bodies. We can go without food for about two months. But we can only go without water for a few days. Why is water so important to our bodies? There are many reasons.
A person is about sixty to seventy percent water. Water helps all our bodies work properly. The cells (细胞) in our bodies need water to do their jobs. We lose water from our bodies every day. We lose it when we breathe. We also lose it when we sweat and when we go to the bathroom. If you don’t drink enough water, you won’t feel well, and you won’t look good, either. Not drinking enough can cause a headache or dry cough.
So how much water should you drink every day? The answer is not so simple. Most scientists say you should drink at least six to eight glasses a day. But sometimes you need even more. If you exercise, you will lose more water through sweat. You should drink water before, during, and after you exercise. If the weather is hot, you will also sweat more. You will need to drink more to replace that water, too.
You should also drink more if you are sick. This will help flush (冲洗) the germs (细菌) out of your body and help make you feel better.
Do you want to look and feel better every day? Drink more! Your body will thank you.

5 . All around the world, buildings are going green! People are making green buildings. What does it mean to go green or to make a green building? A green building is designed (设计) in a way that is not harmful to the environment. The building uses energy, water, and other materials in ways that are good for the environment.
When planning green buildings, architects (建筑师) must think about how to use energy, water, and materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy. Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks (洗池) and toilets (马桶) that conserve water. As for the materials used to build the building, it is important to use materials that do not have chemicals that are harmful to the air or water. Recycled materials can also be used for buildings.
Buildings around the world use all three of these ways to go green. An office building called CH2 in Melbourne, Australia, uses wind and solar power. A cultural center in London, England, is made from recycled train cars and is powered by solar and wind power. The Academy of Sciences building in California in the U. S. has recycled materials, solar energy, and a huge "living roof" of plants. A temple in Thailand is made out of one million recycled glass bottles! This is a good use of recycled material, and it also lets natural light into the temple.
More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place!

7 . Liu Lingli has been a teacher for hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children for 33 years. Her first communication with hearing-impaired people was with her neighbor, Mrs. Wang. One day, when Liu was playing in her house, Wang used sign language (手语) to communicate with her. But Liu couldn’t understand. Wang’s husband told Liu that Mrs. Wang wanted to make her a scarf.
“I was moved by her kindness, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said, “so I decided to become a teacher for hearing-impaired students.”
At first, Liu almost gave up because of difficulties. She then thought about her neighbor and the pain on her face when she could not make people understand what she was trying to say. That made Liu stick to her dream of being a “special education” teacher and she succeeded.
Although she was only 18 at that time, she regarded the students as her children. Every day, she spent much time teaching them to speak. One of her students, Jiang Yan, said Liu would show over 100 times how to speak just one word. She also taught the students how to wash their face and clothes, and clip their nails (剪指甲).
Liu Lingli put lots of efforts to help them live better, too. With her help and encouragement, another student Liu Hanxiang could communicate normally with others. Liu Hanxiang learned dancing and is a member of an art group now.
Thanks to Liu’s devotion (奉献), more than 20 students have received higher education. “Whenever they tried to say ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world,” Liu Lingli said.

Traditional Chinese folk stories are part of our history. They usually carry some information about Chinese beliefs (信念) and traditions. Many traditional folk stories such as Yu Gong Moves the Mountains, Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, Chang’e Flies to the Moon, are passed down from one generation to the next. People tell these stories to teach, to remember and just to pass time.
Traditional Chinese music is a treasure of the Chinese nation. It is a medium (媒介) for the ancient people to express their feelings, experiences and thoughts and is still much loved by people so far.
