①A recent report found that kids 30 years ago could run faster and longer than kids today. ②The report found that today’s kids were 15% less healthy than kids from 30 years ago.

You’re a 13-year-old girl. Your mom was the same kind of kid when she was your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mom from 30 years ago. The study shows your mom would probably beat you in the race by 1.5 minutes. It was the same for boys. A boy from 30 years ago would beat a boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in health. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight. That makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. The doctor says that kids should take exercise at least 60 minutes every day. That’s why ③学生在学校上体育课是重要的。

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your mom and dad to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time looking through the Internet, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you up and to move.

David Adler is a dreamer. He always has been. As a boy, he often created stories to make his brothers and sisters happy. His parents owned a house with three floors. They used it to keep unwanted things on the third floor. David loved

to crawl (爬) around up there, looking through all the things. It gave him ideas

for even more stories to tell!

David, the dreamer, grew up and became a teacher. He didn’t stop dreaming, though.  One  day  his  three-year-old  nephew  visited  him.  He  asked  David  a

question. That question was followed by another question. And another. And another. The boy’s questions just kept coming! After he left, David’s head was filled with all the questions his nephew had asked. David Adler wrote a story using all those thoughts. He sent it off to a publisher to see if they liked it. They did! His first story was going to become a book! It was called A Little At A Time.

Not a lot changed after David Adler wrote his first book. The only thing that changed was he started doing more writing. David decided to take a break from teaching when his first son was born. His wife had a good job and wanted to go back to work. David had to stay at home to care for his son. One day, David took notes of all the things that he needed each time he took the baby outside.

That thought inspired (激发) him to write a mystery book. It would be the first of many books

centred on a character named Cam Jansen, a girl with an amazing memory. The books were a big success. Then he gave up teaching and became a full-time writer.

David Adler has dreamed up a lot of different stories. He still spends a lot of time dreaming. It is how he comes up with ideas for his books. He says, “Don’t Think. Just Write!” He does his best work when he just writes the things that come into his head.

The wife asked the husband, “In this life, what did you miss?”

When she was 25, the husband replied, “I missed a chance of finding a new job.” When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband sadly said, “ I missed the chance of seeing my closest relative before his last breath.” At 55, the husband said disappointingly (失望地), “ I missed a good chance to retire.” At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, “I missed a dental（牙科的）appointment.” At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling（跪着）in front of the very sick wife. Remember the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!”

   The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work. So much that he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.”

Astronaut spends year in the ISS

Living in space is common to astronauts . But what if it is a task of a year?

US astronaut Scott Kelly was in the International Space Station（ISS） for 340 days. It was the longest time a US astronaut has spent in space at a time.

Kelly’s stay is part of the Twins（双胞胎） Study. When Scott spent a year in the ISS, and his twin brother Mark, lived on Earth. They gave scientists more ways to study human space flight.

Usually living in the ISS for such a long time is boring. Was it the same for Kelly? Let’s take a look!

Good morning, everyone!

It’s time to enjoy a sunrise. But for Kelly, it was one of the 16 sunrises he saw each day in the ISS. Isn’t that cool?

Work comes first.

During his stay, Kelly and his partners did about 400 science experiments. One of them was about planting vegetables. And they did it! Growing vegetables will be helpful for longer space journeys.

Moving with microgravity（微重力）.

As we all know, space is a place with microgravity, which influences（影响） human bodies. So Kelly did exercise more than 700 hours in the ISS. That is about two hours of exercise a day. Microgravity also makes some easy things difficult. Kelly often slept in a sleeping bag, or his arms would float(漂浮) in front of him all the time.

Boring? Why not do something fun?

Kelly loved taking photos from space and sharing them with the world online. Even President Obama is his fan. Under one of his photos, Obama wrote：“Hey, loving the photos. Do you ever look out of the window and just feel afraid?” “I don’t feel afraid about anything, Mr. President, except getting a question from you，” Kelly replied.

Answer the questions according to the passage.

  How to beat sadness

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up，my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together，we used to have a lot of conversation through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me，“You should have goals(目标)like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain climbing that we both enjoyed，we couldnˈt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging(挑战性)for me because 1 was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing，I enjoyed the flowers and trees，and the birds’ singing，but as time passed，I hated it at that moment. “Only there at the top，can you see au of the nice things，just like in life.” My father said to me，“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain，but you canˈt see it before you reach the top”.

At that time，1 was too young to understand his words. But later after that. I got new hope and confidence(信心).I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there，I could see the whole of the sky，which was as clear as crystal(水晶).
