Mike Isaac and I are reporters of Student Daily. For the topics of our newspaper next month visited Sunshine Elementary School on May 10. We interviewed some students and here is what they said.

JOSLYN FARCE, 9

I believe that we should recycle more paper, because we’re cutting down too many trees. The more trees that are cut down, the more oxygen we lose. The companies responsible should plant more trees.

JAYDEN MITCHELL, 9

Running is the best exercise, because you’re moving your whole body. It helps your heart and your lungs. Not everyone is healthy, so we should have more exercise.

ANDREW BARHAS,9

I think everyone should use a calm voice. When people are loud, it causes them to be mad at one another. Sometimes it even makes people quarrel with each other. When people speak calmly to one another, they feel happy.

JOSEPH TRUONG, 10

Sleep plays an important role in our life. A lack of sleep can influence our ability to work and study.

【1】

Normal people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. But for teenagers, a healthy amount(數(shù)量) is about 8 to 10 hours. Sadly, only 1/3 of people manage that.

【2】

Tiredness usually reaches its highest twice a day, at 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. That explains whys students easily fall asleep in afternoon classes. So sleeping at noon for a while helps us work better in the rest of the day.

【3】

People can make mistakes if they don't get enough sleep. Students cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Drivers who have fallen asleep while driving have caused 1%—10% of the traffic accidents in our life. And we can imagine what will happen if a doctor feels sleepy at the operating-table!

【4】

There are several ways that can help us sleep better, such as avoiding drinks that make us excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet and warm.

A. Bad influences B. Sleeping hours

C. The most tiring moments D. Good sleeping habits

The passage mainly encourages us to 【5】. (不得超過5個單詞)

Harvard Business School researcher, Franccsca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive(積極的) effect. And she’s done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops an Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well-dressed in designer clothes.

Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well-cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What’s the difference? He’s wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you’re wearing could mean the difference between life and death.

It seems that our clothing doesn’t only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students’ ability to pay attention to details(細節(jié)), the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats. The experiment didn’t show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors’ coats a must of fashion.

A group of boys were playing basketball in the park. The playground was great, 【1】 there was no fence(柵欄) around it. If one boy missed the ball, someone had to catch it at once, so it wouldn't go too far away.

One boy threw the ball too hard and it flew like a rocket over the 【2】(head) of all the other boys, and kept on flying.

Anna was sitting nearby and watching the ducks swim in the river. Suddenly, she 【3】(hear) somebody shouting and turned to see a big, orange object coming towards 【4】(she).

“Stop the ball,” one of them shouted.

The ball landed close to the river. The ducks flew away quickly.

Anna opened her arms, just in time 【5】(stop) the ball as it was going to fall into the river.

“Could you please bring it over here?” asked one boy 【6】(polite).

Anna walked to them with the ball. She was nervous because the boys were【7】(old) than her. However, they were very nice and thanked her 【8】 saving the ball.

“Can I join you?” Anna asked.

The boys agreed, but they were not sure【9】 she could throw the ball even close to the basket.

Anna took the ball and then had 【10】 try. The boys watched in surprise as the ball went straight into the basket. Anna smiled as the boys cheered loudly for her.

Cooking was once regarded as a necessary part of education in England. But in recent years, it has become less important in schools. As a result 【1】(基礎(chǔ)的) cooking and food preparation skills are being lost. It is also making more children overweight, as parents use too much fast food that is 【2】(有害的) to their health.

The government is worried and is looking for ways to 【3】 (解決) the problem. A new law has been passed. All secondary schools should offer cooking 【4】(課程 ) to students aged from 11 to 14 years old. They hope that this will encourage people to cook instead of eating 【5】 (準備好的) meals, fast food and snacks.

Students will learn to cook for one hour a 【6】(星期) for one term. They will learn to use simple and fresh ingredients(原料) to prepare healthy, tasty food, following 【7】(說明). These cooking skills will be helpful in their future life. Schools are also setting up cooking clubs all over the country. The clubs will 【8】(提供) more children with the chance to learn to cook.

There are still difficulties. Head teachers are worried about the things they will need for the cooking. And about 15% of schools do not have 【9】(廚房) ) and there are not enough teachers.

The speaker from the government【10】(允諾) to train 800 teachers and to give schools million pounds a year to help children from poorer families to pay for ingredients.
