As a mid-aged man, I was always worried about my weight. Every time when I walked on the street, I would see fear on others' faces as if I were a giant (巨人).
"Walking a dog will help you." suggested Doctor May.
"Walk a dog? I've never had a dog." I said.
"I have a perfect dog for you!" said Doctor May and she showed me a large black-and-white dog with a big round body. He looked up at me and then dropped his head with a clear look of aversion. He didn't seem to like me. Neither did I.
"He is Peety. As no one cares for him, he's too heavy now and needs exercise," said Doctor May. Looking at the poor dog, I saw the terrible life he had had. I touched him carefully. He seemed to like that and lay down near my feet.
The next day, we started our first walk. Although Peety didn't walk very fast, I was tired out. You could clearly hear my footsteps on the road—thump, thump, like the giant from Jack and the Beantalk.
"I can't go on!" I shouted to him, lying on the ground. Peety ran back and looked at me quietly.
"Oh, Peety," I said. "Do you really want a walk with a giant like me?" He kept looking at me with those beautiful dark eyes and waited in silence. I knew I wouldn't make him upset.
Over the next weeks, we kept on walking. There were times when I couldn't catch up with him. He would just look up at me like I was the greatest man in the world—and that's what I wanted to be for him.
William Shakespeare is one of the most famous writers in the world. He wrote many plays. He was born in Stratford, England, in 1564. He came from a rich family. But when he was fifteen, his family became poor because his father lost all his money. William was not able to study at school, so he left and got a job.
At that time, theaters began to open in London. William decided to move to London and soon found work as an actor. Actors often helped to write the plays as well as act them. That was how William discovered that he was good at writing.
At that time, many explorers (探险家) traveled around the world and brought back stories of adventures(冒险) and new discoveries(发现). These gave William lots of ideas for his plays. Queen Elizabeth liked William's plays so much that she asked him to write one specially for her.
At that time, the stage (舞台) was in the middle and the audience (观众) stood all around it. If people didn't like the play, they threw things like tomatoes to the actors! Luckily, people loved William's play. His plays were very exciting. They made people think about the right and wrong ways to do and called on people to show true love.
A study of 577,000 children from 42 countries shows girls get ill after just two hours watching screens like television, chatting or gaming online. But because boys are more likely to be physically active, they can safely spend twice as much time on screens each day before having health problems.
Doctors warn (告诫) that depression (抑郁) is rising among Australian children. The study also shows the need to balance (平衡) screen time with "green time" outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors are healthier and happier, the study shows.
Professor Asaduzzaman Khan said the study found boys were twice as likely as girls to meet the health guideline for physical activity of an hour a day. He said 24 percent of boys, while 14 percent of girls, spent an hour a day exercising.
A dad from Melboume. Tom Hindhauhh said he had a three-zone system for his thirteen-year-old son, Patrick: a "go zone" for time to do schoolwork, a "slow zone" for time to play video games or chat with friends on line and a "no zone" when screens were turned off.
"We need those screens for homeschooling. Technology is also the only way kids can communicate and hang out with each other during the COVID-19," he said. "We have an hour or so for slow zone and after that screens should be off. We need to get children outside and moving. Physical activity is the key for their health, whether it's walking, riding a bike or playing balls.
Professor Khan said spending too much time on watching TV, gaming or chatting online could lead to depression, overweight, unhealthy diet and decreased cognitive abilities (认知能力减弱)." If you spend more time on screens, you are likely not to do well in your studies."
Some students have problems but they don't know what to do. Let's listen to them.
Jack | Yesterday, when I was doing my homework, my friend Tom called me. Suddenly, my mother came in and saw me on the phone. She thought I didn't study carefully but made a phone call all the time. I explained to her, but it was no use. I don't know what to do. |
Mike | I'm new here. I am quiet and shy. Other students seem to have their own friends and no one would like to talk with me. So I often feel very lonely. Please tell me what I should do. |
John | There was a basketball game between our class and Class Two 3 days ago. I did badly and our team lost the game finally. That made me really sad. |
Amy | I want to do better in my study but I can't. I worked very hard but it didn't help. I really want to get good grades in the exams. What should I do? |
Lucy | It's the weekend again. I always have lots of homework to do on weekends. My parents also let me learn to play the piano. So I don't have time to relax. I always feel tired. I don't know what to do |
A. I felt so sorry about the game
B. I want to learn to play the piano
C. I lost my mother's trust
D. I feel very lonely
E. I can't improve myself
F. I'm always busy on weekends
A five-year-old boy named "Little Stone" became a star online. Why? Well, he really looked 1 the "Buddha(佛)"!
Little Stone was born in the north of China. He had a very 2 childhood. He got a serious illness at an early age. To save him, his parents spent all their money and even sold their 3 . So they had to rent(租) a small apartment. What's worse, the medicine he was taking made him 4 than other kids of his age. However, just because of this, he looked like a sitting Buddha.
Because of his terrible 5 , Little Stone couldn't go to school. He 6 played with toys himself at home. He was unhappy and hardly ever spoke or 7 . Then one day his parents posted some short videos of him eating dinner. That made him 8 on the Internet quickly. Knowing that some people liked him, Little Stone felt warm and he made his 9 to start live streaming(直播). It was also 10 he wanted to help his parents. Little Stone needed much money each month to buy medicine. That made his parents 11 trouble. "If I can make money by live streaming, my parents won't be so 12 ." he said. After he started live streaming how he was living, 13 became better and better.
Little Stone could help himself by making money 14 live streaming. What can we learn from him? No matter how difficult your life is, never 15 and there is always hope.
A man was washed up on a small island because of a shipwreck（沉船）. Every day he checked to see if there was a passing-by ship. He hoped that someone could help him, no one seemed to come. "Although I (lose) everything, I haven't lost my life yet. I still have hopes and chances", he said to himself. So he tried to build little house out of the wood. It could protect him from dangerous (animal).
But then a sunny and hot day, after looking for food, he came back and found the little house on fire. The smoke was rising into the sky. Everything was lost at that moment. It was the (bad) thing he had ever met. He cried angrily and (sad). However, early the next morning, while he (repair) his tools, a ship arrived on the island. Yes, people had come to save him. " did you know I was here?" the man asked. "We saw your smoke signal（信号）," they replied. What a (surprise) change life brings! So never lose heart, no matter what kind of problems you meet and wherever you are.
—Yes, here you are.
