    It was thesummer before my third grade. Our girls' softball team was facing real pitchers(投球手)1thefirst time. Before that, we could just hit the ball on the tee (球座). When the coach started pitching, hitting became2forme. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emilylaughing at3. My face got hot and my throat feltlike it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to4playingsoftball.

    The nextafternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was5.She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and6myselfin bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine and just7toavoid softball.

    Soon Mumcame in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt8.I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and9Ireally did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly.

    Beautysleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleeplook more attractive (有魅力的) to others.

    A few badnights are enough to make a person look especially "more ugly", theirsleep experiments show.

    Theresearchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment.They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.

    A weeklater, they were asked to sleep for only four hour every night for two nightsin a row. The researchers took make—up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers afterboth the good and the bad sleep.

    Next, theyasked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health,and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to makefriends with this person in the picture?"

    Thestrangers were good at judging whether the person they were looking at wastired, and if he was sleepy, his attractiveness score would be low.

    Thestrangers also said they wouldn't want tosocialize with the tiredstudents. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-lookingface makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang aroundwith people who might be ill.

    Dr Brewer,an expert at the University of Liverpool said: "Judgment of attractivenessis often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even somethingsmall like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a goodreminder of how important sleep is to us."

    Nadia Comaneci, a famous gymnast (体操运动员) , was born in Romania in 1961.

    When she was doing cartwheels (侧手翻) on the playground at the age of 6, a PE teacher saw her. He told her family that she was very good and advised Nadia to train in the capital of Romania. Although it was a long way from her home, Nadia went because she loved gymnastics (体操).

    After that, she trained hard and took part in lots of competitions. In 1975, she was named as one of the Athletes of the 20th Century.

    In 1976, Nadia went to the Olympics in Canada. She was so fantastic in the competition that everyone waited for the score, a high score. But the scoreboard showed 1.00!

    Everyone was surprised. There wasn't a sound for a moment. Then a voice came, "Ladies and gentlemen, Nadia Comaneci…10!"

    The audience (观众) cheered very loudly. So what happened? Well, when the scoreboard was built, no one thought a score of 10. 00 was possible. The decimal point (小数点) was in the wrong place! In fact, the scoreboard only had three digits (数位) to show scores, such as 9. 50 or 9. 85 at that time.

    In the 1976 Summer Olympics, Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10, which was thought impossible before. From then on, she was looked as a hero. In 1984, she got retired (退休的).

    Many of usdon't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if youtake care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyesshould be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number oneplace.

    There areseveral causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of havingpoor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a breakevery once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make youfeel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If this happens, the best wayis to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best toprotect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just forfashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight fromultravioletrays.

    Eatinghealthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and Eare good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And youshould do eye exercises because exercises protect your eyesight too. If aperson exercises regularly (定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in goodcondition for a long time.

    All aboveare natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy allthe time can be helpful to a person's eyesight too. In a word, eye care is veryimportant, no matter how old a person is.

    Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters.

    Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily.

    "Being thin doesn't surely mean you are not fat," said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have tested nearly 800 people with MRI to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat.

    According to the result, people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits (堆积物) of inside fat, even if they are thin.

   Even people with normal Body Mass Index (体重指数) scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 per cent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of inside fat. Men were nearly 60 per cent.

    According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

    Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病). They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body's communication systems.

    The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits. "If you want to be healthy, there is no other way. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle," Bell said.

Each exercise a different grammar point.

    Many students aren't getting enough sleep at night, which means they end up feeling sleepy during class. during the day may be a solution.

    According to Forbes, a mid-afternoon nap can , increase your energy and help you study even better. But should a nap last? The proper time should be between 10 and 30 minutes, Peter Venn, a sleep expert said.

    Sleeping for , such as five minutes or so, is not helpful. That's just not enough time to rest. But if you sleep for too long, you may feeling uncomfortable.

    Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect everything from our feelings to how well we focus on tasks like studying. It can also influence sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may lead to weight gain in some people.

    How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

    Be active during the day. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don't work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.

    Say goodnight to electronics. Experts suggest using the bedroom for sleep only. At least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

    Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a bedtime routine can improve this relaxation effect. Reading, listening to music, spending time with a pet, writing a diary or doing anything else can relax you.

    Expect a good night's sleep. Instead of worrying that you won't sleep, remind yourself that you can. Say "Tonight, I will sleep well." several times during the day. It can also help to practise breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.

    Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble in sleeping and you think it's affecting your mood or performance, talk to your doctor.
