Almost every day, we talk about how to keep healthy. But what is health? According to some research, "health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having proper weight. So what can we do to stay healthy?

Eat different kinds of food. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite food. That is bad for our health.

Drink more water and milk. Water is important to our bodies. Everyone should have about 8 glasses of water every day. Besides, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones. Milk is rich in it.

When we are eating, notice how our body feels. When our stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating just about 20% less than usual can be a great help. Eating too much can make us unhealthy and fat.

Limit screen time. What's screen time? The more time we spend on these activities, the less time we spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend less than 2 hours a day on screens.

If we follow these rules above, we will become healthier and happier!

A. Listen to our body.

B. So some kind of dairy product is a good choice.

C. Here are some tips you may follow.

D. It means how long we watch TV, use our phones, etc.

E. Remember we can keep a healthy diet by having many kinds of food.

He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O'Neill called him "the true father of American literature". "Mark Twain is all of our grandfather," agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner.

Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined.

The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions.

Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical (批评的) points about the culture and the society of the US at the time. That's why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn't afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly.

For instance, Twain didn't like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called "Votes for Women", in 1901.

"Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young," Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself.

The Locked Trunk

One sunny Saturday morning, my best friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother, Abuela, prepare for a rummage sale (旧货义卖) to raise money for the local homeless shelter (收容所). The garage was filled with dusty boxes and old furniture that Abuela had collected over the years.

As we carried a heavy box of books to Abuela's car, Ollie suddenly stopped and pointed to a large, rusty trunk in the corner. "Look at that!" he said excitedly. "It looks1!"

Abuela smiled. "That old thing? It's been here since before your parents were born. I've never been able to open it—the lock is stuck."

Ollie's eyes shined with2. "What's inside?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know," Abuela replied. "Most likely just a bunch of things we don't need anymore."

"But what if there's3?" I added. "Like gold coins or an old map!"

Abuela laughed. "Well, if you two can open it, you can keep whatever's inside."

Ollie ran to get his tool kit, determined to break the lock. "I bet I can4 this in two minutes flat!" he declared.

But two minutes turned into twenty, then two hours. We tried every tool— pliers, screw drivers, even a hammer—but the lock wouldn't move. Sweat dripped down Ollie's face as he complained, "It's no use. We have to5."

I shook my head. "What about that saying your parents love? ‘If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!'"

Ollie sighed. "Unless a magical key fairy appears, we're never opening this trunk."

Just then, Ollie's little siblings, Indi and Tex, arrived with a plate of cookies for the rummage sale. "Mom said to bring these," Indi announced.

Tex stared at the trunk. "Wow! Is that a boat?"

Indi giggled. "It's upside down! Let's turn it over and play pirates!"

Before we could stop them, they climbed onto the trunk, pretending it was a6 in a storm. "Ahoy! Shark attack!" Tex yelled, jumping up and down.

Suddenly, a screw popped loose and rolled across the floor. Ollie's eyes7. "That's it! We don't need to pick the lock—we can remove the hinges!"

With Tex and Indi's "help", we unscrewed the hinges and lifted the lid. Our hearts8—what treasure would we find?

But instead of gold, we saw…shoes. Dozens of old, polished shoes neatly stacked inside.

Indi wrinkled her nose. "Ew! Why would anyone save these?"

Abuela laughed. "These are old but classic! People will love them at the sale."

Sure enough, the9 sold quickly, raising more money than we'd expected for the shelter. Ollie grinned at me. "Not treasure, but still pretty cool."

Later, as we ate cookies, I realized something important: sometimes, trying the same thing over and over won't work. Like when I struggle with homework, staring at the page won't help—but asking for ideas or drawing a picture might.

Abuela patted my shoulder. "Life's full of locked trunks. The trick is knowing when to try a10 key."

And that, I decided, was the real treasure.

In a small village in China, there lived a boy named Ming. His dream was to find the lost treasure of his ancestors (祖先). His parents told him the treasure1 somewhere in the mountains near the village.

Ming decided to explore the mountains and set off2 some food and water. After3 for hours, Ming came across an old stone door. He found ancient paintings on the walls. They seemed4 a story about the lost treasure. Suddenly, he noticed a box covered with dust in a corner. He opened it5 and found a piece of paper with a message written in old Chinese.

The message said, "The true treasure is not gold or silver,6 the wisdom and courage within you." Ming didn't understand at first, but then he realized7 this was a test set by his ancestors. They wanted to see8 he had the wisdom and courage to face challenges and discover the true meaning of treasure.

9 Ming hadn't found any gold or silver, he had got something more valuable. The knowledge10 lies within oneself is the true treasure.

On his way back to the village, Ming met an old man who was lost11 the forest. He helped him find the way out. The old man was so12 that he wanted to give Ming a gift. However, Ming politely refused. He said that helping13 was its own gift.

When Ming returned to the village, he told his family he had found something14 than treasure. He said it was not material wealth (物质财富) but the wisdom and courage15 life's challenges. His story encouraged many villagers to be curious and brave, especially the young kids.

【跨学科·生物】If you often feel tired, sleepy or sad in winter, you might have seasonal affective disorder (SAD) (季节性情绪低落). Some people also eat more, or lose interest in hobbies. SAD usually starts in fall or winter and ends in spring or early summer. When the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, some people feel less active and more unhappy.

The main reason for SAD is not clear, but scientists think it may be caused by changes in hormones (激素). In winter, it is dark for most of the day. This makes the mind make more melatonin (褪黑素), a thing that makes people feel sleepy and less full of energy. Less sunlight might also change your body's energy and feeling.

The best way to feel better is to get more sunlight. Doctors suggest spending some time outside every day in winter, even if it's just for a short walk. Even on cloudy days, natural light helps! You can also try moving your body more, like dancing.

If you still feel very sad, you should see a doctor. Talking to a doctor early is important. Don't forget to share your feelings with family or friends too. Don't worry. SAD is a common problem, and there are always ways to make you feel better during the cold months. Small steps, like drinking warm milk before bed, can also help!

Teenagers, over 15 have the ability to make independent decisions. With the rapid development of technology, today's teenagers have a better understanding of the world. Compared with their parents, they're knowledgeable at an early age. So they may make wiser decisions.

Making decisions helps teenagers feel confident (自信的). When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they feel more confident in their ability to handle problems. This can help them develop a stronger feeling of control over their lives.

By making decisions, teenagers learn not to depend on others. If parents make decisions for their children all the time, they'll never learn to be responsible (有责任心的) for themselves. They'll just depend on their parents for every choice in their lives.

When teenagers are allowed to make decisions, they may      ▲     . But it doesn't matter. That's because they can learn from their mistakes and will do better next time. During the process, teenagers can develop problem-solving abilities.

Allowing teenagers to make decisions can improve relationships between children and parents. By giving children respect (尊重), parents can show that they trust their children to make good choices. With trust and respect, children will have more communication with their parents.

All in all, teenagers over 15 should be given the chance to make decisions.

The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a "friend" at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot's walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize (辨认) the traffic lights.

Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. "The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future," Li said.

In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. "We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes' for blind people," said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.

"Oh, nothing. Mom, I just feel tired." Marissa made her way to her room and closed the door. Her younger brother, Leo, noticed her worries and asked, "Is everything alright? You look like something is troubling you." Marissa stopped and said, "Can you keep a secret? I've got a problem at school. You know Dan, right?"

"Yeah. He is the boy with all the jokes," said Leo. "Well, I don't think so. He's not been his usual funny self this week," Marissa said. "He asked me to help him cheat in our math test on Friday."

"Dan told me his marks in math weren't very good this term," said Marissa. "If he doesn't do well in the test, he'll be kicked off the chess team. He wants me to help him by letting him see my paper during the test."

"I really want to help Dan. However, helping him cheat isn't really helping him! It is not right."

Leo, always the wise one, offered a thoughtful answer, "Actually, you could help him improve the subject before the exam. If you give a man a fish, you have fed him just for today. But if you teach a man to fish, you have fed him for a lifetime."

Marissa smiled and looked at her brother. "I got it!" she said. "What are you going to do?" Leo asked. Marissa smiled and replied, "Wait and see." Then she picked up her mobile phone. At that time, Leo knew exactly what she had planned to do.

A different culture keeps my eyes and mind open. When I stayed in Russia as exchange student, I learned about it. One of the (big) differences there is about people's way of life. One day, a (Russia) friend invited me to a well-known restaurant in Moscow. After arriving there, I (find) nothing on the table but several small plates. Although the dishes were simple, we drank a lot and everyone felt (relax) together. While in China, when we invite friends or relatives, we always provide (they) with a big dinner.

Another custom in Russia also surprises me (great). As we know, it is very cold winter. However, when winter (come), people in Russia enjoy swimming. They even take their (child) outside to swim. The water is freezing cold, they all play happily in it! Once I (invite) to join them. However, I had to say no because it was really difficult for me (enjoy) it!

I (know) a lot from the exchange visit so far, and it's been educational in many ways. interesting it is to know about a different culture!

When I was a little girl, I never liked to speak up in class. I was always afraid of making1 in front of others. Then something happened in the sixth grade, and it changed everything.

Our school had many clubs and I joined the dancing team that year. Our teacher taught me2 to perform in front of many people. I wasn't a good dancer at first. I was so nervous that I could not make any moves3. Our teacher encouraged me to practice more. So I began to4 as much as I could. After school, I often stayed to practice the moves again and again. At first my arms and legs felt stiff (僵硬的), but I never5. Slowly, my body became more relaxed. Things6 after much practice. I built up my confidence (自信) little by little. Of course, sometimes I still made mistakes, but I was able to face them and learn from them. I could7 better and better.

Dancing also teaches me how to work with others. In the beginning, dancing in the group was not8 for me. With the9 of my team members, things became better and better. I made friends with them and always tried my best in the team. Now I do think that the success of our team is much more important than mine! Dancing is more than just a sport to me. Thanks to it, I have become a10 student and dancer now.
