4.When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam,12 hard years of study will have come to an end.Forget your studies for a while.It's time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation.You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers,or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation.It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women.After the prom,teenagers either go to college or find a job.It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
    At the prom,boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties,though many different types of formal clothes are worn.Traditionally,girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets).Girls traditionally wear formal dresses,or dress to shock or be noticed,in shiny or brightly colored materials.
   Common prom activities include dining,dancing,the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen,and just talking to friends.In some cases,high school students collect funds for t heir class prom through the four years of their high school.
   High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or,to be unusual,on a pleasure cruise boat.
   But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym.Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special.The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds,like rock and hip-hop.
   The students elect the Prom Queen.She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly.Th ese are great honors that the pair take very seriously.The two dance with each other to celebrate the ir election.
    Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom.But others like to go with friends,to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
    If you like the idea of a prom,why don't you and your classmates organize one for your  graduation?

12.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,like meat,fish,eggs and nuts.Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals.However,don't overeat.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 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 lifespan(壽命).Any kind of exercise is good.Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape: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.
