    Once upon a time there was a giant (巨人) . One day he met a girl. "Haha! You are so 1and short, "he said.

    "But I can see as many things as you! I can even 2 across that mountain!" the girl replied.

    "Well, let me verify (核实) it first. Oh, I need to 3 my hat because the sun shines into my eyes, "said the giant. Just before he picked the hat up, the girl 4 climbed up the hat. Because she was so small, she wasn't 5 by the giant a all. On the top of the giant's 6, she saw things clearly. 7 the giant finished, he put his hat down on a chair. And the girl came down from the hat quietly. "Now, give me your 8, "the giant said to her.

    "The blue sea and a beautiful red ship are behind the mountain. Am I 9?"the girl asked.

    The giant couldn't believe his ears. "This is impossible. How do you know that?" he asked 10.

    The girl smiled and said, "Well, those who are not big have to be smart!"

    At the age of 16, Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident which changed her life. "I had a terrible car accident in August 1996. It took me 10 months to recover (恢复) from the accident. During that time, I realized I wanted to find a more meaningful reason for being here in this world, "said Julia.

    As soon as she recovered, Julia gave up working at the restaurant and traveled to California. One day she found a big company (公司) wanted to cut down part of a forest. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of them was more than 1, 000 years old.

    Then Julia learned a group called Our Earth was trying to save the redwood forest from the company. They decided to find someone to live in a redwood tree and hoped this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia volunteered.

    Julia has lived in the tree for about two years without ever going down. It was cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Julia was in the tree.

    Finally the company decided to protect the tree Julia lived in. They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it. When Julia put her feet on the earth, she began to cry. But she continued to do other things to protect the environment (环境).

    Do you want to stay away from obesity (肥胖) and live a healthy life? Then the things you do every day are very important.

    Healthy eating habits.

    It's easy to fall into the same choice (选择) when it comes to food. But eating the same food is not good for your health. It's time to have a plan for your meal. You can go to the su—permarket or shop online. Fill your shopping trolley (购物车) with different vegetables every day and cook them.

    Get moving

    You don't need to do exercise for an hour in the gym every day or do the same exercise over and over again. Short—time exercising is a better way. And it will only take a little time.

●Take some exercise while you are brushing your teeth.

    ●Drive less and walk more.

    ●When you have 15 minutes, you can go out of your house and run as fast as you can. See how far you can go.

    Having enough sleep is also important for your health. Can you get a good sleep every night?

     Children should avoid (避免) screen time for at least an hour before bedtime. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says parents must make sure that children are not spending too much time on smartphones or watching TV, because these activities are bad for sleep.

    The college has given guidance to parents to help them control their children's screen time. Parents agree that getting too much screen time has to do with a less healthy diet, a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and poorer health.

    Dr. Max Davie, a health expert, said that children learn from examples instead of orders. "It will be very difficult to set strict rules of your children's screen time if you are always looking at the screen. Parents should take control of their own screen time first if they are going to take control of their children's, "he said.

    Experts advised that parents should set screen time according to their children's ages and needs. They said parents could encourage their children to do more outdoor activities. When children spend too much time on the screen, there is a risk to the healthy development of children.

     Dr. Max Davie said, "The guidance for parents is good as it goes, but remember not to distinguish (区分) between different kinds of screens. The advice of stopping looking at the screen one hour before bedtime is welcome. Turning off WiFi and keeping the children's smartphones out of the bedroom would also help parents. "

    Do you know Li Ziqi? Her videos show a traditional Chinese way of life in the rural (乡村的) areas of Sichuan Province.

    Recently, an owner of a bookstore in England turned to people in the community (社区) for help. He had to move lots of books and other things to his new store. Although the new one was not far from the street, it was not an easy thing. So he came up with an idea. He put up a notice in the community saying that his bookstore needed some volunteers. And all kinds of people could offer to help.

    He had planned to finish the moving work in a week. At the beginning, there were only 10 people ran between the old store and the new one. However, the situation didn't last for a long time. More and more community members came to help him soon. On the weekend, more than 650 volunteers showed up at the store to help him move their books into the new one. So the owner decided to change the way of moving books. Instead of carrying things from the old store to the new one by each person, they formed a human chain (组成人链) between the two stores. Then they just needed to pass those books from person to person to send them to the new store. With the line of people volunteering between the two stores, the whole process (过程) took about 45 minutes.

    The owner was also a part of the human chain. He felt glad to see the power of so many people in action.
