When learning is mentioned， regular school can be the first place which you can think of． However ， the Internet is changing the way students learn． Many learning apps provide rich courses for the learners to meet their levels of knowledge and interests．TED is one of them．With the Internet， learners are allowed to learn at home or anywhere else．
◆Which do you prefer： Regular School or Home School？
Regular school helps you learn more． And you have more chances to take part in clubs and try out different kinds of courses． In class， you can discuss problems by working in groups． |
I prefer having classes online because you can spend more time learning when you're the only student in "your class"． Having cases at home may make you very independent． |
I prefer regular school． You can have so many more friends and work with more people in groups． When I was having classes at home， I hated it． |
If you're a slow learner， you can fall behind in regular school． But if you have classes at home， you can learn well． I' m having classes at home， and I make much more progress now than when I went to regular school． |
TED This free app is a great tool for those who are interested in public speaking It provides more than 700 talks from the world's most famous thinkers， leaders and artists． It could be the first choice for many learners to develop their speaking sill． |

◆What can you do to improve your online studies？
To successfully learn online， you can follow these steps． First of all， you should always keep in mind what you hope to complete by the end of it． Then， a study plan is needed． A good study plan includes a study calendar and a to﹣do list． Next， when having a class， be active to think about what he teacher says and express yourself． After class， remember to review what you have learned by reading your notes or making a mind map．
With the coming of 5G， the cloud classroom might not be far away． However， whatever advantages online learning has， it just offers a way of learning． It doesn't take the place of any of the ways． There must be many more ways of learning in the future． Nobody knows what will happen．

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.
Eat a variety of food, 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 food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
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 is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, 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 only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.
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.
Limit 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 the sitting, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time. The underlined phrase “a variety of” means ______.
| A．plenty of | B．all kinds of |
| C．the rest of | D．a lot of |
