In the world nothing is more important than health. If people took away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we could still survive. Then how can we keep healthy?
First of all, we should eat healthily. I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk food. I only eat little meat.
It helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. In addition, I think friends are an important part of one’s health.
I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.

A. New teachers’ opinions of involving parents
B. Proper ways of parental involvement
C. Difficulties in sharing goals
D. A conflict between assumption(设想,假设) and reality
E. The best way to score high
F. An argument over an assignment___________________________ An Iowa high school counselor(顾问) gets a call from a parent protesting the C her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she’d written it”.
___________________________ In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children’s education is a priority(最重要的事) at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying”. When asked to choose the biggest challenge they face, 31％ of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73％ of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.
___________________________ At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.
___________________________ Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.
___________________________ When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision. school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related
Britain’s high streets are dying slowly

She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. ______ In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. __
__, where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.
Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.

Evaluating (评价) Sources of health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
| A．The goal of an ad is to sell you something. |
| B．Make choices that are right for you. |
| C．And examine the findings of the original research. |
| D．Be sure to work through the critical questions. |
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
G. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.
Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruelThey’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.
There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off.
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.
But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition.Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．The spreading tea
B．The history of tea growing
C．Changes of tastes for drinks
D．Reducing cancer risks
E．The plant Camellia Sinensis
F．A woman’s opinion of tea______
Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20 years ago. Witness the Starbucks revolution and you’ll know where the trend goes. Now, encouraged by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar change. Enough fashionable tea houses are springing up to make even longtime coffee drinkers consider switching drinks.______
Tea is available in more places than ever. The Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $ 4.6 billion from $ 1.8 billion. “Green tea is seen by consumers as a ‘functional food’”—delivering health benefits beyond food itself, says Vierhile.______
Recently published studies point out that only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia Sinensis have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas may taste good, yet they do little more than warm up the drinker. But for Camellia Sinensis, the evidence is powerful. In a 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent compared with nontea drinkers, and others studies have suggested that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in these socalled real teas can also prevent cancer.______
One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times as powerful as vitamin C. “When people ask me for something good and cheap they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them to drink real tea，” says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City’s Strange－Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.______
Among those inspired to become a green tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer who took it up after seeking advice from a nutritionist six years ago. “I’ve never been a coffee drinker，” says Ghilaga, 33. “She told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant qualities.” Now Ghilaga and her husband habitually make tea—they order theirs from In Pursuit of Tea.com, an Internet tea company. And although tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, “you still get such a kick from it，” says Ghilaga.
