Scientists say that making the most of our senses when we are young can keep us healthy later on in life. One reason why we bee stressed and have high blood pressure is that we misuse our senses in our everyday life. One study says that about 90% of our time is spent watching television or using puters. It adds that although our sense of sight is overused, our senses of touch and smell have been ignored. People often ask whether or not we should develop all our senses.The answer is yes. Scientists suggest that we do the following things more often. While having dinner, listen to some enjoyable music rather than watch TV. While relaxing at home, have some flowers next to you that smell nice. Before going to bed, turn the lights down. While sleeping, wear a nightshirt that is pleasant to touchit will make you sleep deeply.

I’m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking those weightloss pills. They contain a harmful chemical that cause my liver to fail. The doctor told me that I would die if I couldn’t get a new liver. My mother is a match, but she is too old for such a long operation. I thought I was going to die.Then the doctor found that someone in your country, whose name is Li Dong, was an exact match for me.. He donated more than half of his liver to save my life. I was very lucky, wasn’t I?I’m feeling better now. I follow my doctor’s advice and exercise for at least half an hour every day, and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don’t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn’t worth it. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the way we look, should we?I hope to hear from you soon.LoveAmy 生詞：liver 肝Questions:[1] What39。 I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school, but it was a bit challenging for me at first because all the homework was in English.

The animal had a large mouselike head and jumped along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said “kangaroo”, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animals name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal “kangaroo”, but their requests were met with puzzled looks from the native people. Before long they discovered that the native guide who had answered Cook’s question really meant, ‘I don’t know what you are pointing at.” Funnily enough, the name “kangaroo” stuck and it is still in use today.生詞：kangaroo 袋鼠Questions:[1] Who was Captain Cook?[2] When did Captain Cook reach Australia?[3] What did he unexpectedly see during his first visit to Australia?[4] What was the animal like?[5] How did the kangaroo get its name?3Dear Mr ZhuI am writing to your magazine’s ‘Teenagers Now” column to ask for some help with my 16yearold son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child. His mum and I treat him very well, and his grandparents buy him many things. Yet he is still rude to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as though he doesn’t even love us at all.Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insist on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, but I don’t like it. He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!）5Pride goes before a fall．（驕傲必?cái)?。s a way. 有志者事竟成。5Where there39。5Experience is the best 。50、Diligence is the mother of 。）4You never know till you have tried. 不嘗試，不知曉。 4Knowledge is power. 知識(shí)就是力量4Li
