Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model（模特） or as strong as your favourite football player？ Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little． Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up．
But learning what you can and can't change about your body is part of growing up， too． It can be hard to do． But when people accept the way they look， they often feel happier．
Some children worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends． It's important to know that puberty（青春期） doesn't happen at the same time for every child． And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!
Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better． Why？ Because they will help you feel energetic （精力充沛的） and keep your body working just the way it should be．
Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun， but they don't do much for your body because you sit when you do them．
But when you move your body﹣by playing， dancing， taking part in sports， or even cleaning your room﹣you exercise your muscles（肌肉）． When you exercise the muscle， it gets stronger． And when you have strong muscles， you can do whatever you want to do!

The first Chinese actor captured （征服） the hearts of many Chinese in the USA． He read a letter by Zhuge Liang（181～ 234）to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms（220～280）period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon（《虎啸龙吟》）
The letter has been read by so many students． We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language． As a result， foreigners begin to show interest in Rommance of the Three Kingdoms， translated bt C．H． Brewitt﹣Tailor and Robert E． Hegel．
Earlier in November 1979， pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey． Most of them were hearing the story for the first time． However， the story of the Monkey King isn't new to Chinese Children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West．
As soon as the TV programme came out more than 30years ago， western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up．
Chinese scholars（学者） should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature（文学） to the rest of the world． At the same time， we could encourage western schools to try something different．
Reading international literature is an effective way of understand other people in the world． And the more we understand each other， the more beautiful the world will be．

Beauty sleep is a real thing， researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive （有魅力的） to others．
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly， their sleep experiments show．
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment． They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights．
A week later， they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row．
The researchers took make﹣up free （素颜） photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep．
Next， they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge （评价） them on attractiveness， health， and sleepiness， as well as asking them： "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture？"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired， and， if they were sleepy， their attractiveness score was low．
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students． The researchers say this is natural for people． An unhealthy﹣looking face makes people run away． In other words， people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill．
Dr. Brewer， an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious （无意识的）， but we all do it， and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy． This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us．"
