Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
① Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
② Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙) to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar just includes calories, not important nutrition.
③ Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
④ Limit(限制) screen time. What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time. In this passage, health includes all of the following EXCEPT __________.
A.eating well |
B.wearing comfortably |
C.having a healthy weight |
D.doing more exercise |
The underlined phrase “a variety of” means .
A.a few of | B.a lot of |

In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may change Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted.
In the States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, enjoy their children and their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you cannot give it in return, No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as “merely” home cooked food, not ”doing something” for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s home than to a public place, expect in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.
Don’t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awing you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, and hotel delivery is uncertain that the arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled — so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.
1. In the United States, you will find friendships _____ if circumstances change.
A. die suddenly B. pass away
C. disappear gradually D. last forever
2. Americans ______ their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. ask B. wish C. never allow D. don’t expect
3. In some other countries, giving a dinner party at home is considered ____ than in a restaurant.
A. less friendly B. less hospitable
C. more natural D. more popular
4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Flowers are available at all time
B. Flowers are expensive.
C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome.
D. Flowers are not necessarily sent to guests.
5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. American Hospitality B. American Friendship
C. American Invitation D. American Welcome
In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is major difference between two of the characters, Brutus and Mark Antony, Brutus was very honorable and Antony was very persuasive. When Brutus spoke at Caesar’s funeral, he appealed to the people’s logic and Antony spoke to the emotions of the people. Antony was very smart and used his brain frequently during the play and Brutus was very naive(天真的,率直的) about many of things.
Brutus was very honorable in the way that he always told people the truth. Antony was persuasive in the way that he used people to get whatever he wanted. For example, Antony used Lepidus to seek revenge on all of the conspirators (同谋者,阴谋者) to take the blame for their deaths. Brutus’ speech at Caesar’s funeral was very short and to the point and spoke to the logic of the people in the crowd. For example, Brutus spoke in a detached way about Caesar’s death while Antony spoke to the emotions of the crowd by crying and talking about all the good things that Caesar did for Rome. Antony’s intelligence was very apparent throughout the play and Brutus appeared to be naive about many things. Antony as smart in the way that he controlled people to his own advantage. Brutus appeared to be naive throughout the whole play because he believed everyone was as honorable as he. Brutus did not question what he was told, assuming it was always true.
In conclusion, in William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is a major difference between the two characters, Brutus and Mark Antony. The strongest contrast between the two characters appears to be their ability and inability to be both honorable and persuasive.

Dear Dad,
Wow! Dad, I just had a great idea! Do you know how you and I watch U of L ball games on TV, and scream and yell at the referee when he makes a bad call? Do you know how we go wild when they win or made a great play? How about us doing that in person and going to see the real live U of L ball game? I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that we can’t afford it .But you wouldn’t know, I have a solution. I can pay for my own ticket out of my allowance. You might think we can’t get tickets because they’re sold out. But I could write a letter to Coach Denny Crum asking for two or three tickets and he might just send them. I’ll bet mom wouldn’t even want to go. We can leave her at home and you and I could spend quality time together.
It would be a spectacular father and son activity. You will probably say you can’t because of your job. But I’m sure your boss would let you off or let you take a vacation day. After all, he’s a very understanding man. You might say you don’t have the time, but what could be more important than your only son? I’m sure you could find time for me .You might even be concerned about the car-ride being too long. The drive to Louisville is only two and one half hours long. You took me to Florida in a car, don’t you think you could take me to Louisville? I can see it now! Thousands of screaming fans, are all cheering for Louisville. Louisville are blowing the other team out! You and I are loving every minute of it! Now, wouldn’t it be terrific if you could take me to a game?
Sincerely,
Your loving son
