We bought her a small toy clown（小丑）and3it Lemon-Aide. We gave Lemon-Aide to Lesa. We told her that it was to go with her to all of her treatments.

When the treatments were6, she said she would pass it to7who was also badly ill.

    A few months8, much to my9, she10it to me. Lemon-Aide went with me to all of my treatments. One day while sitting in the doctor's office, I got a good11.

    You may know about junk food like French fries. But do you know about junk sleep?

    Recently, a British survey found that electronic products（电子产品）in teenagers' bedrooms are affecting（影响）their sleep. The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30 percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.

    Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.

    This is very worrying. said Dr. Chris Idzikowski, We call it junk sleep, It means you don't get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don't get good rest, you won't perform well in school the next day.

    The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, Mp5 or TV in their bedrooms. And many of them have all three.

    Amsterdam is the bike capital of the world. Riding bicycles is a fun and easy way of getting around Amsterdam.

    Students go to school by bicycle. People ride their bicycles to work. Travelers ride bicycles freely around the city. Even police work on bicycles. You can see these every day in Amsterdam.

    There are many roads and traffic signs（标记）for bicycles. There are also many places for bicycle parking.

    If you travel in Amsterdam, you don't need to take a bus or taxi, just a bicycle. You can ride the bicycle along the roads and the streets enjoying the scenery（风景）. The city has a lot of bicycle shops to choose from. If you do not want to buy a bicycle, you can go to bicycle rentals（租赁）.They are in almost every part of the city. Going for a ride is enjoyable. It's a good idea to find an experienced guide. Because he knows the city's most beautiful places well, and he would take you around the city. Riding bicycles in Amsterdam is of great fun and relaxing, just remember to follow the traffic rules.

    Once upon a time, there was a man who loved fruit very much.

    One day, he went to India with his friends. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive. Finally, he saw a big basket of fruit. The fruit was red and long. And it was the cheapest there.

    So he went up and bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it, oh, my god, his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies! You can't eat so many! People use them as relish, but only a little bit to be put into food for taste. You can't just eat them like that." But the silly man said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them up. It's my money!"

    We sometimes do a lot of things like that, we still continue just because we've put money, time, effort and love into it even though we suffer from it.

    So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to lose.
