Recent studies have shown the benefit — even necessity — of (spend) time outdoors, both for kids adults. Some argue that it can be any outdoor environment. Some say it has to be a "green" environment — one with trees and leaves. Most of the studies agree that kids who play outside are (happy) and less anxious ( 焦虑的) than kids who spend more time indoors. While it's unclear how (exact) the mood improvements happen, there are a few things we do know about why nature is good kids' minds.

There are various ways  (explore) outdoor environments, from the backyard to the park, and letting a child choose how he treats nature  (mean) he has the ability to control his own actions. This style of play also allows kids to interact ( 互动) meaningfully with their environments. They can think more freely, design their own activities, and approach the world in  (interest) ways. 

Most ways of interacting with nature include more exercise than sitting on the sofa. Kids don't have to join the local soccer team or ride a bike through the park — even a walk will get their blood pumping ( 流通). Not only is exercise beneficial to kids' bodies, but it seems to make (they) more focused, which is especially beneficial for kids with ADHD ( 多动症).

So while screen time is the easier, more popular choice,  is important to set enough time for outdoor play. 

I used to think my life was perfect. My mom had her dream job and a beautiful office and I had my own room with a computer and a garden to look after. But one Sunday, everything changed. A hurricane 1  our neighborhood while we were visiting my grandparents in Raleigh. Our kitchen was 2 , and our clean and comfortable home was in ruins. 

But something 3  happened. Our neighbors, the Flores family, came to our 4 . They helped clear broken pieces and offered us a place to stay. Their 5  was most impressive. We had never 6  spoken to them before, but they 7  their home to us and made us feel like family. 

We started a new 8  of having weekend dinner together. We invited other families from the neighborhood to join us, and our 9  were filled with laughter and delicious food. It was a beautiful thing to see our 10  come together in the wake of a disaster. 

I 11  knew Rosica, their daughter, before the hurricane. But she quickly became my friend. She had a gift for 12  and our evenings together were filled with adventure and laughter. 

Looking back, I realize that the hurricane 13  unexpected benefit. It brought us closer to our neighbors and 14  our lives in ways we never could have imagined. Sometimes, it takes a(n) 15  to bring out the best in people. 

If you have a hard time getting along with your teachers, going to class can be a nightmare (噩梦). So here are some tips to help you build a friendly relationship with almost all the teachers. 

Talk to your teachers. In many cases, a short discussion can clear up the entire conflict (冲突). Ask your teachers if it is convenient for you to talk in private. . If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be solved. 

. Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach. So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors. 

Learn to understand their teaching methods. . If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to get used to a new teaching method. 

Ask about your teachers' hobbies. If you know about one of their hobbies, you can talk about it with them. And you can try to find if you have something in common. .

Learn why your teachers choose to teach. Approach the teachers at an appropriate (适当的) time before or after class, not during class. Consider saying something like, "I've always wondered why people become teachers. . Why did you decide to teach?"

A. It seems to be a difficult job. 

B. Ask your teachers how you can do well in class. 

C. Join in activities with your teachers after school. 

D. Always be polite and show respect in a conversation. 

E. A way to discover the positive side of things is to keep diaries. 

F. A shared interest may help you see your teachers from a different viewpoint. 

G. Sometimes, you may not like some teachers because of their ways of teaching. 

Do you like to keep fit? We're always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?

Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness trackers and apps can add to this addiction, especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱的). Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health problems. 

Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone's physical health as well. Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much? Researches found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour-and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.

If you're more of a couch potato than a runner, this might sound like good news. But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can't help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist, is, "It's all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to control everything, saying, ‘You don't need to be perfect. '"

The aim of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying. 

The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good results. 

In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one. 

When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading. 

We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.

Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so. 

My new teacher is cool. Her name is Paula so we call her Miss Paula. 

The first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that good friends are always nice to each other. 

Miss Paula has been teaching us a lot of things. Some of us used to get in trouble for talking in the hallway (过道). Miss Paula says she can't change the rule that we can't make noise in the hallway but we can still talk to each other. She is teaching us sign language. I already know how to say "hello" and "how are you" with my hands. Now we love it when we have to walk somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.

Miss Paula likes everybody even Sam and nobody likes Sam. He never does what he's told but now he is doing better. Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the way we are. I guess that includes Sam.

This week at school was really the best ever. I didn't even get in trouble when I thought I would because I spilled (洒) milk on my homework and had to hand it in when it was still wet. Miss Paula just smiled and asked "What's this?" So I told her what happened. Miss Paula put it near the window to make it dry. She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as this and would be happy to help us.

Well I have to go and get ready for bed now. I have school in the morning and I want to wake up early so I will have time to pick Miss Paula some flowers.

I am Denise Clarice,the only one in my class who does not have a pet.No dog waits for me at the bus stop.No cat sits beside me while I read.But I don't feel sorry.Why?

The rule about no pets at our house is not because my parents are mean.Mom and Dad are very nice,and I know they like dogs because they always stop to pet Maurice,the dog who lives next door.

The rule is not because I am too young to have pets,because I am 11 years old.Besides,I am very responsible.I always return library books on time and I do my homework every day,even when I would rather play in the grass.The rule about no pets is because of Kevin.He is my little brother and he has allergies(过敏) . Pets make him sneeze(打喷嚏).

One day when I was walking home from school,feeling sad because there is no dog waiting at home for me,I heard a soft little sound from behind a tree.I stopped and listened.There it was.I heard the sound again.

I walked quietly up.A tiny ball of gray fur looked up at me and said,"Meow."Before I knew it,I was holding the cat.Again,before I knew it,I was walking toward home,holding the cat in my arms.She must be lost.Finders keepers,I told myself.

Arriving home,I took the cat directly to my room.We played with a ball,and she jumped high to catch the ball.I made a comfortable litle bed for her in a box with an old towel(毛巾)and gave her milk to drink.Then my mother called me to dinner.
