I was acting the previous summer in an amateur theater group. I have always enjoyed acting and the theater, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to part of a real Broadway production. This became out a reality during my practice with The Starway Theater Group. One evening just before our performance we were telling by the organizer of the theater group that an important Broadway director was from the audience. He was there to discover new talents for his show. We could hardly hold our exciting! Even though I had been performing in the small show all summer, I was quite nervous.

When I went on stage for my first scene, I felt as if I were about to make the fool of myself. I still don’t understand that exactly happened, whether it was the effect of the bright lights on me or the idea that I was being watched by a great director, but whatever it was, I gave my good performance ever!

Before the show I was asked to meet with the director and he offered me a small part in his Broadway show. That autumn I went to New York and perform for one season on Broadway! It was an experience of a lifetime!

Most young people in America today, unfortunately, have very unhealthy eating habits.     1     研究表明，现在十几岁的青少年比以前吃了更多经过加工处理的食物。When eating out they choose fast food restaurants for the obvious reasons. They are cheap, noisy and usually filled with people of their own age. However, fast food restaurants are not their only source of unhealthy food. The modern day family usually has both parents working outside home and this means parents don’t often have the time to prepare healthy nutritious meals for their family. Supermarkets today are filled with prepackaged, instant foods.     2     Therefore, even home-cooked meals might not be that healthy.

    3     Another factor to young people’s unhealthy eating habits is that there seem to be no regular meal times these days. Most people skip breakfast because they don’t have time or, if they do have something, it is usually of little nutritious value such as toast and jam or a doughnut. Lunch is also a problem. When they have a lunch break, a lot of people use their lunchtime to socialize and they don’t want to spend a lot of time eating.     4     结果是，午饭时间最受欢迎的食物就是各种零食。 These come in the form of burgers, fries, hotdogs or sandwiches which are usually on white bread with plenty of butter and processed foods, such as cheese or luncheon meats.     5     放学后，大多数的学生是饥饿的，所以他们用饼干和其他不健康的零食充饥。 If they end their day with a meal of pizza or some other ready-made food, they have not had anything fresh or nutritious to eat all day. Combined with sugary soft drinks the average young person’s diet is unhealthier now than it has ever been!

10 . Seahorses are beautiful and unusual fish that have captured the imagination of writers and artists for hundreds of years, and they feature in the ancient mythology (神话) and legends (传说) of many countries. Seahorses seem so magical that, to this very day, many people still believe they only exist in children’s stories. But the fact is that these delicate and shy little creatures are very real!

Scientists believe seahorses evolved at least 40 million years ago, and have survived from ancient times with only very small changes in their body structure and function. Seahorses have a special appearance. They have a head like a horse, a pouch (育儿袋) like a kangaroo, and a long, curved tail like a monkey. Because of their confusing structure, for many years, people didn’t know whether they were fish, insects or shellfish! Today, scientists know without a doubt that seahorses are fish.

Seahorses live mostly in shallow, warm waters. They are not strong swimmers, using only a back fin (鳍) and a pair of tiny fins behind their eyes to push them through the water. Seahorses spend a lot of time attaching to seaweed or sea grass. They are able to hang on to sea grass and seaweed by wrapping their tails around the stems, which helps them to avoid being swept away by strong currents. While they hang from sea grass, their long, tube-like mouth, which has no teeth, acts like a vacuum (吸管) for food. Strangely, seahorses have no stomach so they can’t store their food. This means they have to eat fairly continuously throughout the day.

Another unique characteristic of seahorses is that they (along with their cousins, the pipefish) are the only creature in the animal kingdom where the male, not the female, becomes pregnant and gives birth to babies! The female produces eggs and places them in the pouch inside the male, where they are fertilized. The male gives birth to between 5 and 200 young. Amazingly, just a few hours after the male gives birth, the female will once again place eggs in the male’s pouch.

Sadly, seahorses are in danger all over the world. Their habitats are being destroyed by human activities. People catch seahorses for pets and for souvenirs. The most endangered seahorse in the world is the Knysna seahorse, which is only found in South Africa. The reason it is in grave danger is that it has an exceptionally limited distribution range—it is only found in three estuaries (河口) in the whole of South Africa. Unless these estuaries are conserved, South Africa will lose its only seahorse species for ever.
