One of the secrets(秘诀)of successful people is that they have good habits. The good habits help them to be successful. What are good habits? How can you get into good habits? Here is some advice for you.

First, everyone has his good points(优点).You should always look for the good points in people and learn from them.

Second, you should try to learn good new things every day. Reading a few pages of a book or newspaper every day also helps you.

Third, tell yourself you are good. When you get up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror(镜子)and tell yourself you can do things well.

I think the last one is the most important. No matter what good habits you want to have, you should try to keep them，work hard everyday. Then you can live a successful and happy life.

We can learn a lot from the movie. We should be thankful to the earth. If we always get everything from it without stopping, we will be punished(惩罚). We should face our mistakes like Maui and find the true ones for ourselves like Moano.

Many parents today worry about their children's diets. Then what is a healthy diet for children? Miss Jones from Happy Children Hospital gives the following advice:

   Children shouldn't eat food with too much salt, because it can cause high blood pressure(高血压)

   Children should eat food with less fat, oil and sugar. They should not eat too much junk food.

   Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins(维生素). Children need to eat fruit and vegetables often.

   Water is important to everyone. Children need to drink enough water every day.

   Children need to eat breakfast every day. It is good for their bodies and minds.

Studies show that laughter(欢笑) is good for our health and may even be the best medicine.

  A newspaper said that Dr. Miller measured the blood flow (血流) of 20 healthy people before and after they watched two different movies-Stwing hivate Ryan(a war movie) and Kingpin(a comedy). The results were opposite. He found that their blood flowdecreasedduring the war movie and increased during the comedy. As we know, exercise can make blood flow increase. Dr. Miller pointed out that laughter might be almost as healthy as exercise.

   Dr. Wei Jiang of Duke University studied over l,000 heart failure patients. He discovered that those who often felt sad had a 44% higher risk of death. In other words, being happy is good for our heart and helps us live longer.

   The studies show that laughter is important for us to keep healthy. And it is free and has no bad effect. Many doctors today encourage patients to laugh. Some hospitals even have comedy rooms with TV comedy channels. And they believe the best way to live a long, happy and healthy life is to have a good diet, exercise regularly and add in a few laughs every day.

Idioms(成语) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you donˈt understand the culture behind it.

For example, if an American boy asks his mother whatˈs for dinner tomorrow, she may say “Iˈll play it by ear”, that means she doesnˈt have plans for dinner and she will decide later. “Play by ear”used to mean playing music using the sheet music(活页乐谱), but now people often use it when theyˈre not talking about music.

There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you donˈt necessarily reach out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? Itˈs not about the color of your hand! Youˈre a green hand when you are very new at your work and donˈt have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two certainly work together very well.

Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?

 It is Julie’s birthday. Uncle says he will take Julie and her cousins to see a movie. They drive a car to the cinema. The children are very excited.

There is a new rule (规定) for students. They need to run 1,500 metres each day. How do they like the new rule? Are they ready to run?

Wang Tao:I’m 12 years old. I’m from Beijing. As Grade 8 students, we usually run 50 metres,200 metres or 400 metres in PE class, but never 1,500 metres. But I think the new rule is a good idea. It can help us keep fit. Running can also make us active (活跃的) in the daytime.

Liu Tao:  I’m 13 years old. I ’m from Dalian. Many students worry about the new rule. We only run 400 metres in PE class. Some students say that they may feel tired andsleepy in class after running. But I am OK with it. I can run 1,000 metres in 3 minutes.

Shi Ming: I’m 14 years old. I’m from Qingdao. Students in our school run 600 metres in Grade 7

and 800 metres in Grade 8 in PE class. In winter, we run about four laps (圈) each day. That is close to 1,500 metres. I think it’s good for us.
