Do you know something about tree rings? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit the growth of trees by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago, there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there－no trees and no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

Tree rings can tell ______ according to the passage.
A. whether a tree was strong or not.
B. whether the climate was good or not
C. how tall trees used to be.
If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago, you should study ________.
A. the twentieth ring
B. the tenth ring
C. the twenty-second ring

If you’re ready to add more physical activity(体育运动) to your life, here are some tips(建议).
Make physical activity part of your routine, like brushing your teeth or going to work. Try biking to work at least once a week, using the stairs more often, or walking to some places near home. But talk to your doctor before you start an exercise routine, especially if you haven’t been very active or have health problems.
Walking is one of the best fitness(健康) activities. To keep up a routine, you can walk with family members, friends or pets. Count your steps with a step counter(计数器). You can buy one at a sporting goods store. If you don’t have time for one 30-minute walk, break it into three 10-minute walks.
Find an activity that you enjoy, and stay with it. Change it with other activities so you don’t get bored. For example, walk three days a week, and swim or bike on the other days. Join a volleyball or basketball club for fun and exercise. By finding more activities you enjoy, you’ll have a greater chance for success.

We all have our favorite teachers—those who seem truly interested. But what about teachers we don’t know as well or even don’t like much? You can do lots of things to get a good relationship with your teachers.
First, try to be a good student: go to class on time, finish all homework on time, be active in the class and ask questions often.
Second, show an interest in the subject that the teacher teaches. Obviously(显然地), your teachers are really interested in their subjects. Showing the teacher that you care—even if you’re not good at math or French—sends the message that you are a dedicated students. Then the teacher may pay more attention to you.
Third, you can also often have a talk with your teacher when he is free. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, talk about the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that one-on-one communication for your teacher is a bit more relaxed than lecturing(讲课) in front of the whole class.

Long long ago, there was a fairy(仙女) on a large island. She was the strongest and cleverest among all fairies. However, she was very ugly. On the island, every fairy thought beauty was the most important thing for a fairy, so the ugly fairy had no friends. Every time she was sent to save someone in trouble, before she could say a word, the person would shout loudly, “Ugly! Get out of here, right now!”
