When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a great gift—a basketball. But the problem was there wasn't a basketball court (球场) near our home.

One Saturday morning, my brother came up with a good idea. He said, "Hey, let's take our ball to the school to play."

I thought it was a great idea, so I agreed. When we arrived at the school, we started playing. But suddenly, something terrible happened. The ball got out of control and hit through one of the classroom windows, breaking the glass into pieces. We looked around and saw that nobody was there, except for an old man sitting nearby.

I whispered to my brother, "What should we do now?"

"Well," my brother replied, "Nobody saw us, except for that old man. But he probably can't see this far, and he doesn't know who we are anyway."

As we got the ball and started going home, we talked about whether we should tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we get punished for our mistake? Or should we just keep it a secret? We thought about these things again and again on our way home.

The right nutrition is necessary to live a healthy lifestyle. Your body requires a well-balanced diet every day in order to maintain the proper amounts of vitamins, proteins and minerals(need) by your body. Physical fitness keeps your weight in check, prevents heart attacks and other  (harm) effects. (basis), there are so many benefits of exercising that you really can live a full life with it.

Emotional stress plays  important role in many illnesses, both directly and indirectly. People are also more likely  (smoke), overeat, drink too much, argue others and so on, when they are feeling stressed. Thus, stress management is currently a new lifestyle, and relaxation techniques are a key part of having a healthy lifestyle. Being healthy (be) so important, so don't hesitate to start a healthy lifestyle right now.

In the second year of my high school, I went abroad to continue my education. Shortly after I settled down with my host family, an Italian girl 1  too. Since the house had limited space, we 2  together. My negative view on roommates started from that moment. My roommate liked to invite friends over and hold parties, but I preferred 3  home by myself. Then 4  started to appear, and I told myself that I never wanted a roommate again.

Unfortunately, life quickly 5 me when I went to college. It required all first-year students to live on 6 , which meant I had to live with someone I didn't know. From that point on, I began to 7 . When I talked to my future roommate Lily for the very first time, I tried my best to smile and nod to hide my nervousness. When she invited me to have lunch, I was completely 8 . I told myself that I should step out of my comfort 9 , even though I could clearly hear my heart beating through my chest. I considered it for a long time, and finally, I accepted her 10 .

After we 11 together for a few weeks, I got to know Lily already owned a small business selling snacks, while I kept 12 to set goals. One night, she asked me what I wanted to do for my career. I looked into her eyes for a long time, and then said, "I don't know." "Don't worry! We will work together, and I'll help you 13 what you are passionate about," she said in a gentle voice. Under her 14 , I found my interest and knew what I wanted to be after graduation. Thanks to her, I felt having a roommate could be so 15 .

Easy Ways to Protect Your Eyes From The Harms of Digital Devices

Most people spend a large amount of time in front of digital devices without protective glasses. Unfortunately, they are simply unaware of the harmful effects that these digital devices have on the eyes.

⒈Exercise your eyes

If you keep your eyes glued to a digital device without blinking or flexing them a bit, they will get accustomed to that device distance.You should try to move your eyes around more, changing their position or flexing them every 20 minutes or less.

⒉Adjust your screen lighting

If you are in a brightly lit room, you will need to increase your screen's brightness setting. If you are working in a dim room, you will need to decrease your screen's light settings.

⒊

Your doctor may recommend you use specialized glasses to reduce glare and eyestrain from your digital device. These glasses will help protect your eyes from harmful glare whenever you use them. Keep in mind that reading glasses don't protect your eyes from this glare.

Never let an eye problem be a hindrance to your work or fun if you are a regular user of digital devices. 

A. Expose your eyes to the daylight

B. Ask your doctor to recommend specialized glasses

C. Your screen lights should be adjusted in relation to your environment.

D. You will experience problems when trying to focus on anything farther or closer to the device.

E. Optometrists (验光师) recommend that you sit at least an arm's length away from your digital screen.

F. By following the above tips, you will help protect your eyes from the problems brought about by digital devices.

G. Below are some easy tips that you can incorporate (使并入) into your daily routine without throwing away your digital devices.

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.

At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.

Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.

Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. "Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing." she said, "but the type of phytoplankton is changing."

And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, "it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on." Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.

Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. "It'll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change," Dutkiewicz said, "but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet."

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, which includes watching television and surfing the Internet.

In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organizations have begun coming up with plans to address this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realized that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realized that something needed to change, and, being a London media worker, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the "Wild Network", a group of organizations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.

"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."

Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.

The familiar smell of garlic (大蒜) and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom's pan-fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.

As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food.

I had argued with my mom that I wanted "normal" food for lunch and she gave in. So from then on, my mom packed non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers (残羹剩菜) from dinner.

As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance (认识的人), asked where my food was. "I'm not really hungry," I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrin a had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, "Then, I'll eat it!"

I didn't want to be rude to a potentially new friend, so I reluctantly (不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. I expected the girls to turn away—and turn me away. What I did not expect was that Katrina instantly grabbed a small piece of tofu and ate it. My new friends were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn't get to eat any of my mom's pan-fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude.

When I arrived home, my mom noticed that the container was empty. She hesitated before asking "How was the food?" I paused a moment before I replied, "Perfect, mom. If possible, can I still have pan-fried tofu for lunch tomorrow?"

When Mike was a seven-year-old kid, his parents usually didn't give him money because he liked to buy junk food. They knew such food would be harmful to kids' body.

But one day Mike strongly wished to buy such food. He knew he couldn't persuade his parents to give him money to buy it, so he was upset. At noon that day, his mom was having a nap in the bedroom while his dad was working out of the home. Mike suddenly found his mom's wallet on the sofa in the living room. Usually, his mom would put the wallet close to her — not this time.

Mike found a good chance to get money. He thought he could secretly take some from his mom's wallet without letting her discover it. Then, he slowly walked towards the wallet and opened it. There was lots of money. Mike took a few coins and walked out of the house, going directly to a store in his community.

He bought a bag of food that was very peppery and a bottle of iced Coca-cola. Instead of returning home, he hung around outside to enjoy the food and the drink in case his mom discovered it. When he opened the food bag, a strong, hot and sweet smell rushed into his nose. He tasted some: it was delicious. But it was too hot and his mouth seemed to be on fire. However, he didn't take notice of it. Minutes later, he ate up the bag of junk food and finished the drink. Then he returned home. His mother was still sleeping.

In the afternoon that day, Mike began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit. He felt pain in his stomach. At first, he could stand it. However, finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and told his mom that he felt sick. But Mike didn't tell his mom the truth that he had some hot junk food. Not knowing what was wrong with Mike, his mom was worried.

I have always been hard­working in school. And I enjoyed gaining new understanding about study. One way was making 1 . 

2  has always been my favorite subject. During each math class, while listening, I waited for my golden opportunities to show myself, which were 3 . When they came, I would raise my hand. Answering them 4  made me feel I was recognized by my classmates and teacher. The only problem was that I wanted to be 5  －to be right every time. 

As it turned out, living up to this standard was 6 . In one class, I stood up confidently but gave a wrong answer. Even though I knew this was certainly not my first mistake in life, something  7   had come at that moment. I thought that my classmates might think I was  8 . The beautiful castle that I had built up fell down after my mistake. 

In the following classes, I was in low spirits and became  9 . Even if I may have known the answer, I was  10  to take the risk of damaging my self-confidence anymore. Noticing my abnormality, my math teacher talked with me and learned my problem. She told me that mistakes are an important part of learning 11  they can point out our weaknesses and help us 12 . I should set up the principle of  13  mistakes. 

From that experience, I realized that even though I thought I was right about most things, I was wrong in my 14 . School is not a place to 15  but a place to learn. What I now know is that by holding fast to humility (谦虚) and learning to grow from my mistakes, I can truly learn in a way I could never in the past. 

To see the world is one thing. To have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. 

You can have someone to talk to. Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn't you feel lonely? This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you're traveling to. You don't have to ask any information from the locals and you can increase the time you spend in the country.

One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can't simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plan tickets. You should also think about your daily needs such as your food. Of course, you can't simply go back without bringing any souvenirs（纪念品）to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.

You can meet a good friend. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other's heart while traveling together in another country.

You can have someone to watch out for you. When you're in a foreign land, you'll never be really safe. You don't know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel partner will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.

A. You can have someone to share the expenses with. 

B. Here are some reasons why a travel partner is important. 

C. You can have someone to turn to when you're in trouble.

D. Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. 

E. Traveling with a mate enables us to meet challenges. 

F. Traveling is a good way to enrich our life. 

G. So why don't you find a travel partner now?

A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.

But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. "I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone," My friend Jimmy once told me. "So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing. "

Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.

If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it. 

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. 

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
