As we all know, life today is much easier  it was hundreds of years ago, but at the same time, there are many new problems today. One of the （big）problems is pollution. Pollution comes in many different forms（形式）. We see it, drink it and even hear it. 

The pollution is （get） more and more serious. The more people there are, the more pollution there is. A long time ago, pollution wasn't so serious there were not so many people, but now, humans are polluting the whole world.

Many countries are making （rule） to fight against pollution. They stop people from using coal（煤炭） in houses and factories, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. They also advise people to use their cars less and go to work by bus, bike or even on foot. 

Breakfast is important for us. A good breakfast 1  us to keep healthy. By breakfast time, we are hungry after a long night— about twelve 2 . Our bodies need food for morning activities. 

A good breakfast should 3 rice or bread, an egg, milk and fruit. We should get up early to have enough time to eat breakfast. Many students go to school without breakfast, 4 they get up too late. It's bad for their health.

A good breakfast helps us work better and play more 5 . Your whole day will be interesting after a good breakfast. 

As we all know, robots are very smart robots have their own computer brains. 

There're many kinds of robots in the world. They can help people to work in dangerous places or do many difficult . Some of them have been into space, into the and so on. They never bored, tired or afraid.

It's not to think about the future of robots. In the future robots will be in many places, and many of them can talk, sing and dance like people. Even some people want to have robotic（机器人的） .

But it must be very hard for to make robots have emotions（感情）. A professor Steel says, "At present, there're some robots actors — they may show emotions, but they don't feel them. We'll try our best to change that. "

Life in the future will be different from the life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be? Here are some predictions. 

First, work in the future will be different. People won't have enough work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.

Second, cars will become very small and computers will control their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular, and most people would like to take them to travel. 

Third, the population（人口） is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now. So maybe people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won't be crowded or noisy. So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.

However, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don't save water now, there will be water wars in 50 years.

Dr. Brown is always busy at work. But next month he is going to take a long vacation. He is going to China with his wife. The Browns have heard the saying, "He who doesn't reach the Great Wall is not a true man. " So they are going to Beijing, the heart of China, to visit the Great Wall.

They will stay in Beijing for about one week. They have a lot of Chinese friends there, so they will visit them. Then they will fly to Hangzhou to see the West Lake. They will go fishing there. 

They plan to stay there for about half a week. Dr. Brown is always at the top of the Yellow Mountain in his dream. At last he has the chance to have a look at it. So next they are going to Anhui by train and going hiking in the great mountain. After five or six days in Anhui, they will have to go back to London and have a good rest for about a week before they go on with their work. 

Many students get ill easily in autumn. What can we do to keep ourselves healthy? Here are some tips. 

Enough healthy food. Some students don't like to eat breakfast. They make a big mistake（错误）. Breakfast is a very important meal in a day. If you want to be healthy, you should eat less junk food. Vegetables and fruit are delicious and healthy. We'd better drink 500ml milk every day.

 Doing exercise is another way to make you healthy. So you should do some sports after class. Doing sports can make you strong. 

Enough smiles（微笑）. Smile is the best way to make you healthy. Try to find the things that can make you laugh and you will be happy every day. You should try to be optimistic（乐观的）about life. 

Enough time of rest（休息）. Don't stay up! Students usually go to bed at 10: 00. There is a famous saying, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise. " It tells us enough time of rest is important.

Everyone knows that healthy eating habits are important. Here are five good eating habits. 

 Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water when you are exercising. 

 Breakfast is the most important meal of a day. You can have more energy（能量） after eating breakfast. 

If you don't have enough time to have a big meal, take some bread with you for a quick lunch. Don't eat lunch which has too much oil. If you don't have lunch, it will be bad for your health.

We should eat fruits and vegetables every day. Add a banana to your breakfast, have salad for lunch, and eat some vegetables for dinner. If someone doesn't like to eat vegetables, he or she can eat some fruits instead.

 Try to have dinner at least 3 hours before going to bed. Your body needs time to digest（消化） most of the food before you rest for 8 hours.

A long time ago, there lived four sheep in a forest near the grassland. They were good friends and they walked around together, ate grass together and stayed together day and night. Because they were always together, they were able to protect（保护） each other from tigers and lions that might want to kill them for food. 

But on the morning of a sunny day, the four friends got into a big fight because of a small thing. They all thought their own ideas were right and didn't agree with each other's opinions. They couldn't work it out and all decided to leave and go their own ways. They each found a new grassland to live on. But a lion soon found where each of them lived. He thought that this might be a good chance to kill the sheep and enjoy a good meal. He hunted（狩猎） the four sheep and killed them one by one until there were none left.

The story tells us something important: there is strength（力量） in numbers. This is true even for humans. If we stay close with our friends and family members, they can give us the strength to get through hard times. And in return, we can help them when they are in need of help.
