You know that apples are juicy, sweet, and tasty. People often 1 apples as a dessert(甜点).But apples are also an important part of your daily diet. An 2 research has shown that apples have the power(力量) to help keep you healthy! Scientists have also found that the more of them you eat, the 3 you can be.
It's hard to 4 that one fruit can play such an important role. The 5 is that many fruits and vegetables do. But recently scientists have been quite 6 in apple research. Eating apples has been shown to lower the risk of the cancer(癌症) and heart disease(心脏病). There really is truth to that old 7 ,"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."Other 8 show that people who eat apples regularly have better lung function(肺功能). 9 risk of dying from a heart disease is lower too.
Apples also help with digestion(消化)10 they have enzymes(生化酶) to help digest the food you eat. And one medium-sized apple has 11 about 80 calories(卡路里). What's more,munching(咀嚼 ) on apples helps you clean your teeth for a healthy mouth. Can't brush your teeth after lunch? 12 an apple!
Apples alone can certainly have so great power. But together with other 13 , they can do even more. For example, French scientists find that apples and oranges work 14 together,because apples help our bodies use more of the vitamin C in oranges. You should eat lots of different fruits and vegetables each day. The 15 daily number is at least five kinds. An apple is one kind,so do try to eat one each day.
do live work students of also happy our basic feel since |
More students are doing chores around the house these days because it can provide them with life skills. However, some dislike housework because they think it is a waste of time. In my opinion, it is important for us housework. I really think that doing housework will change some of thoughts. First of all, doing housework can help us restore(恢复) our energy. Last weekend, I did housework after a week tiring studying. I very well. Doing housework frees us from studying and makes both our body and mind relaxed so that we will have more energy to do our homework later. It's not a waste of time. In fact, it's a way to promote(提高)learning efficiency(效率).
Second, doing housework can help our parents. When they come home from , they are so tired that they don't want to do anything. If we help them do chores like sweeping the floor or washing the dishes, they will feel .
Last but not least, doing housework can help us build independence. Housework includes learning skills, such as how to cook and clean. When we go to college or live alone as adults, these skills will enable us to independently and adapt(适应) to changes in life confidently.
housework plays such a big role in our lives, we should embrace(接受) it. We can help ourselves and our parents all the same time.
Amazing China(《厉害了, 我的国》) is a 90-minute documentary. It records the country's great developments over the past seven years. The film hit China's big screen on March 2,2018 and it soon became the country's most popular documentary.
Amazing China introduces some of the most important developments that China has made since 2012. In the documentary, we can see the world's largest radio telesco pe FAST. It took China five years, from 2011 to 2016, to build the telesco pe in the mountains of Guizhou Province. People called it Tianyan, which means"the eye of heaven"in Chinese. The documentary also shows us the development of 5G mobile technology.
Amazing China also records the stories of normal people, such as engineers who do building work, grass-roots officials who help poor people become rich, and workers who try to make use of new technology in their factories.
"This documentary not only shows what China has achieved, but also tells us about the hard-working people who made these achievements," said Li Jianwen, a moviegoer in Qingdao,Shandong Province.
What is love? Love can be a flower, a bottle of water, or a bus stop. Not long ago, a loving temporary(临时的) bus stop in Changde, Hunan Province, came to the attention of the public. It is a bus stop for one child.
Xuanxuan is a seven-year-old boy. His mother passed away when he was three years old. Since then, he has lived with his grandmother. When Xuanxuan started school, his grandmother took him to school every day. But shortly afterward, she couldn't do that for health reasons. So now,Xuanxuan has to go to school himself. His home is a little far from the bus stop, and the road is narrow and busy. It is very dangerous for Xuanxuan to walk alone. Once, Xuanxuan even lost his way when going home. His grandmother was worried about him. Luckily, a group of warm-hearted people lent a hand. They wrote to the Changde Public Transport Company and hoped it could set up a temporary bus stop for this young boy. After a careful discussion, the company finally set up this temporary bus stop.
"My grandmother doesn't have to walk so long to bring me an umbrella on rainy days. She can wait for me at our door,"Xuanxuan said happily at the bus stop.
It's just a simple bus stop but it has warmed the heart of the little boy. Thanks to all the warm-hearted people.
Soela Zani is a photographer(摄影师) from Albani A. In 1988, a quiet boy lived next door to her. Born with Down's syndrome(唐氏综合征), the boy never spoke and seldom went outside because his parents felt shame to be seen with him.
"It was sad to see that,"Zani said."Now, people know differently. Children with Down's syndrome are lovely. We need to accept them as they are and give them a chance to succeed in life."
Zani wanted to do something for those lovely children, so she opened an exhibition(展览) last year at Albania's National Historical Museum. Photos of children with Down's syndrome were shown in the exhibition. In the photos, the children are copying poses(姿势) from famous paintings.
"When we opened the exhibition, the visitors enjoyed all the pictures. Many even started to cry in front of them. I was very touched,"Zani said,"These children are beautiful. They are pieces of art.This is my message. There is no difference between a child with Down's s yndrome and a child without it. They are the same. This exhibition is a present from me to them. Zani plans to take more photos of children with Down's syndrome and raise money for them.
Are you a fan of Chinese culture? If yes, Dunhuang is a must-visit place for you. If you are a fan of Dunhuang, Glory is Back 《登场了！敦煌》is a must-see show for you.
This show has 10 episodes (集). In each of the episodes: Wang Han, a famous host, leads a group of young people to learn and feel the rich culture in Dunhuang. They learn about the frescoes(湿壁画), music, traditions, foods, sports and even fashions in this city.
From this show, they get to know what happened more than one thousand years ago. Also in the show, they meet some people who work hard to protect the cultural treasures in Dunhuang. It is the workers' efforts_that make it possible for us to see the great treasures today.
Li Wuwang is the director (导演) of the show. He came up with the idea of creating a show about Dunhuang during a two-week trip there.
"Dunhuang is an amazing place. Once you visit it, you'll never forget about it and always want to go back there. But the frescoes will fade away(逐渐消失) one day, so we made this show to call on people to protect them,"said Li.
In order to protect the frescoes from the light of cameras, the director and his team didn't use any cameras in the caves(洞窟). Luckily, the digitization(数字化) of the frescoes helped them a lat:

In much of Africa, whenever kids are in the forest, they are careful of the sound of laughter. It might be the first sign of a dangerous animal called the hyena(鬣狗).
I live in Zimbabwe. I heard a story about two brothers who once spent a night in a tree with hyenas waiting below. Some hyenas had attacked(袭击)their family's cows. The boys knew that the hyenas would run away from moving or flashing lights. They used a flashlight to chase away (赶走) the hyenas.
Adults had told them not to follow hyenas into the forest. Hyenas sometimes attack and even kill people. But the boys did not listen. Then their flashlight died. In a minute, the hyenas turned and ran after the brothers. The boys tried to climb into a tree. They didn't get down until the hyenas lost interest and left.
Hyenas used to eat wild animals in the forest. But as people burn down forest land for farming and some people hunt(猎杀)wild animals, many of the animals that hyenas eat have disappeared (消失) 。Hyenas begin to run to the villages."Hyenas make nighttime a scary time for us,"said Amon Chenget
A. Villagers often hear hyenas laughing at night. Many villagers have lost cows or goats. Some people have even lost their lives.
"We used to have healthy forests with many different animals, and hyena s hardly ever bothered (使烦恼)us."said Mr. Chenget
A."The hyena attacks are perhaps nature's way of reminding us to change the way we use our environment."
