Hi, boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.
     First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you'd
better eat something different; if you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients your body
needs.
     Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the NO.1
choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium your body needs to grow strong bones.
     Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your
body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will not make you feel
comfortable and make you fat.
     Fourth, limit screen time. Screen time is the time you watch TV, DVDs and videos, or using
computers. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can't
watch TV for more than two hours a day.
     Fifth, be active.One thing you'd like to do as a kid is to find out which activity you like best. Find ways
to be active every day.

     Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for
granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There
are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep,
and exercise regularly.
     Proper nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it
receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat
plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白質(zhì)) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are
very important because they provide necessary vitamins (維他命) and minerals. However, don't
over eat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
     Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel
tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of
sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的個(gè)性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven
to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your
mind will be sharp.
     Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles,and prevents
you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise
program, you will probably increase your life-span (壽命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most s
ports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running
and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and
interesting, too.
     If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world
would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

     Do you have a sore (痛的) throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and
sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu-but which one? Although both
colds and flu are caused by viruses (病毒), they are very different illnesses.
     Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and
sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
     Flu is much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get
all the symptoms (癥狀) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much
worse aching. Fever is one of the typical (典型的) symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also
last much longer. Sometimes they don't disappear for at least two weeks.
     Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people,
can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection (預(yù)防針) before
the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.
     If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don't leave dirty tissues on
your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!You don't want to see the small drop of
liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting (討厭的), eh? Now you
can undersdand why it's a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!

     People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large
populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are
within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.
     On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage
contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum (石油) production add particles to the air.
     The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy
for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes
may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger
the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.

     We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox,a disease
usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest,it's hard not
to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the
infections we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse,director of the
Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
     It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular
foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets, and
she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when
we have such a limited knowledge of them," says Isaksen.
     ''Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need
changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected
animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may
be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious
disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

1. We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may         .

A. come from Columbia       
B. prevent us from being infected
C. enjoy being with children    
D. suffer from monkey-pox

A. They attack human beings.
B. We need to study native animals.
C. They can't live out of the rain forest.
D. We do not know much about them yet.

3. What does the phrase "the wake-up call'' in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A. a new disease        
B. a clear warning
C. a dangerous animal    
D. a morning call
