My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn’t remember ever watching it in the morning or afternoon. “When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels(頻道). My brothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.”

“Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my brothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set.

What should healthy people look like? One hundred middle school students in Shanghai can show you the answer.

Shanghai has just picked its 100 healthier children. These children were chosen from 60, 000 school students. They are not too fat, nor too thin. They see and hear clearly. They look happy and lively. They stood out not for being top students, but for being healthier both in body and mind.

“We want children to have more healthy habits(習(xí)慣). Many children care more about homework than their health,” said Wang Zhangxiong, a Shanghai education officer.

It took five months to choose the healthiest hundred. First, students’ eyesight, hearing and teeth were checked. Then there was a hard test of their minds and bodies. On November 19, 2004, these children got together at Shanghai Weiyu Junior Middle School to tell stories about how they keep fit. Many say doing sports and having good habits are important. Hu Mushuang, 13, practices taekwondo（跆拳道） twice every week for a year. “I used to be a weak girl,” she said. “But doing taekwondo every day gives me a light body and makes me happy.” Xu Li has strong, white teeth. She is only nine years old but has already made many TV adverts（廣告）for toothpaste. Xu knows good ways to keep your teeth healthy. “Have milk instead of sweets or junk food,” she said. “Brush your teeth twice every day.” Having a healthy body is not all you need.

Ni Jiaxian, a Junior 2 girl, says that making friends with boys helps one grow. “Girls shouldn’t be shy with boys,” she said. “Friendship with them makes you braver and cleverer.”

Where is Love? How can we find Love?

Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.

They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy(快樂)on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love.

Environmental Problems in Britain

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about ￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people ride bicycles to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
