It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,   41   newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see   42   do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful   43   she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked   44   she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:

    I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite   45   . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world   46   you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   47   you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   48   . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at   49   tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.

    Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to   50   the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大腦) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brains is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按鈕)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.

    There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.

    Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:

l  Eat healthy food.

l  Get a lot of playtime or exercise.

l  Don’t drink or smoke.

l  Use your brain a lot.

Do you know that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.

Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went to gambling(賭博) day and night. Nobody cared about hi. He always failed in his exams. So his teachers didn’t like him, nor did his classmates play with him.

    Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.

    One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill’s class. She was a smiling, beautiful woman. Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teachers; yet, still he failed.

    It was Miss Jones’ class. She was asking a question. “I’d like the smartest boy to answer my question.” Then she said loudly, “Bill, please!”

    Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word.

    “Just try it! I believe you can!”

    After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.

    Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Bill, “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart in it.”

    Later, Miss Jones gave another exam. Bill did it with all his heart. He was very excited to find that he had passed the exam. Now Bill discovered that not only could he learn, but he could do it well. A changed took place in Bill’s heart.

Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don’t have to leave their homes to order something; they can shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they can’t find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.

    If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(網(wǎng)頁) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don’t want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, beause people sometimes steal(竊取) credit card numbers from stores.

    The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store, but don’t plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping.

Some stores like Amazon. com are only for on-line shopping.
