Take Care of Your Brain
Do you know how to help your brain (大脑) work well? Here is some advice for you.
Exercise can make your body and your brain feel better. 10 minutes (分钟) of exercise every day can make you think faster and smarter. |
Staying outside is good for your body and your brain. You can go to a natural place like a forest. You can take a "forest bath" or just stay at an outdoor place. |
Laughing is good for your brain, too. |
Which is a "forest bath"?
Your father works on the computer all the day. He can't think fast and smart now. What can he do to feel better? Why? (至少写出一条建议并说明理由。)
Amy is my classmate. She was not scared (害怕的) when we went rock climbing for the first time. She was OK when everyone was scared to see a snake in the classroom. Amy is a girl with guts. I wish I was like her. | |
"Lily, can you come to my house this weekend?" Amy asked me. I was happy but a little scared. I never had a weekend away from my home. But my mother asked me to have a try. | |
Amy's house was near the hill. On Saturday afternoon, we climbed the hill and picked fruit. On the way back, we saw a beautiful butterfly and ran after it into a field of com (玉米). | |
All the corn was very tall. We walked and walked but couldn't get out. "Lily, we are lost. I'm scared," said Amy. Amy was scared? I couldn't believe (相信) my ears. | |
"Don't be scared," I said to Amy. Then I got an idea. We started to go straight between two rows of corn and walked on and on. | |
At last, we were out of the corn field. We jumped happily. "Lily, you are a girl with guts! You got us out!" said Amy. Maybe Amy is right. I am a girl with guts now. |
Why was Lily a little scared to go to Amy's house?
What do you think of Lily? Why? (你觉得 Lily 是个怎样的女孩?为什么?)
