It is no doubt that health is the most important thing in our life.As a Chinese proverb go, “Health is blessing”.Should we be always ill in bed, how can we enjoy life?

To keep healthy, we must develop a healthy way of life.First of all, we should keep on doing sports on a regularly basis, because it can strengthen both our body and mind, refresh ourselves and making us work more efficiently.Secondly, we must keep balanced diet to provide our body with various nutrition we need, but we should refuse junk food.Remember, it is through the mouth where diseases enter into our body.Thirdly, a good sleep is also vital to our health.Stay up too late at night often results in poor health.As middle school students, we need better sleep to do better in our lessons.

You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal music teachers, career counselors，psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People ” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful — including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

They text their friends all day long. At night, they do research for their term papers on laptops and communicate with their parents on Facebook. But as they walk the paths of Hamilton College, students are still pulling around old-fashioned textbooks — and loving it.

＂The screen won’t go blank,＂ said Faton, a sophomore. ＂There can’t be a virus. It wouldn’t be the same without books. They’ve defined ‘academia’ for a thousand years.＂

Though the world of print is receding before a tide of digital books, blogs and other websites, a generation of college students weaned on technology appears to be holding fast to traditional textbooks. That loyalty comes at a price. Textbooks are expensive, and students’ frustrations with the expense, as well as the emergence of new technology, have produced a lot of choices for obtaining them.

Many students are reluctant to give up the ability to flip quickly between chapters, write in the margins and highlight passages, although new software applications are beginning to allow students to use e-textbooks that way.

＂Students grew up learning from print books,＂ said Nicole Allen, ＂so as they transition to higher education, it’s not surprising that they carry a preference for a format that they are most accustomed to.＂

For now, buying books the old-fashioned way — new or used — prevails. If a campus store sold a new book for $100, it would typically buy the book back for $50 at semester’s end and sell it to the next student for $75. When Louis Boguchwal, a junior, tried to sell a $100 linear algebra textbook back to the college bookstore, he was offered $15. ＂It was insulting,＂ he said. ＂They give you next to nothing.＂

Rosemary Rocha, 26, she waits to borrow the few copies her professors leave on reserve at the library, or relies on the kindness of classmates. ＂My friends will let me borrow their books in exchange for coffee or a slice of pizza,＂ she said. ＂I very seldom buy the textbooks, but I’m always like a chicken without a head.＂

【题文1】Why do students prefer a book to a digital one?

A. E-books usually spread viruses among students.

B. Textbooks are much cheaper than e-books.

C. E-books can’t be written in the margins.

D. They grew up learning from print books.

【题文2】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A. I am always at a loss what to do.

B. I can’t learn without a textbook.

C. I don’t like eating the head of chicken.

D. I don’t know where to buy textbooks.

【题文3】What did the experience of Louis prove?

A. Bookstores cheated students in textbook sales.

B. Bookstores are king in buying and selling textbooks.

C. Bookstores made it convenient to buy textbooks.

D. Bookstores bought books from students fairly.

【题文4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Textbooks will be replaced by e-books soon.

B. E-books attract more students to read.

C. Students still like paper books in a digital age.

D. Technology makes paper textbooks out of date.

Would You Pay To Eat In A Dumpster(垃圾箱)?

Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled(多瘤的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the ＂ugly food＂ movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.

One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of America’s food waste problem. ＂There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,＂ he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.

Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A change.org petition last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.

Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called ＂Real Good＂, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had ＂some challenges sourcing the product＂. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.

This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.

【题文1】What does the underlined words ＂edible food＂ in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Healthy food. B. Expensive food.

C. Food suitable to eat. D. Food grown locally.

【题文2】Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumpsters?

A. To share their fancy ideas. B. To warn people not to waste.

C. To show waste should be reused. D. To advise people not to throw dumpsters.

【题文3】What’s Josh Treuhaft’s advice to reduce America’s food waste?

A. People should make full use of ugly food.

B. People should join in the ugly food movement.

C. People should be more aware of food shortage.

D. People should develop their potential in producing food.

【题文4】What makes Raley’s stop its ＂Real Good＂ after 90 days of its operation?

A. Lack of sources of product. B. Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.

C. Bad harvests due to bad weather. D. People’s unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.

5 Tips for Surviving Shots

Do shots make you nervous? 1. Lots of people are afraid of them because they have a very real fear of needles. So next time your doctor asks you to roll up your sleeve, try these tips.

Distract yourself while you're waiting. Bring along a game, book, music, or a movie player — something you'll get completely caught up in. 2.

Concentrate on taking slow, deep breaths. Breathe all the way down into your stomach. 3. Moreover, concentrating on something other than the shot can take your mind off it.

4. Find a picture, poster, or a sign on the wall. Concentrate on the details. If you're looking at a painting, for example, try counting the number of flowers in the garden, cows in the field, or other images. Or create as many new words as you can using the lettering on a sign. Think about how the message on a health awareness poster might affect you. Whatever it takes, keep focusing on something other than the shot until it's over.

Cough. Research shows that coughing as the needle goes in can help some people feel less pain.

Relax your arm. If you're tense—especially if you tense up in the area where you're getting the shot, it can make a shot hurt more.

Sometimes people feel faint(头晕的) after getting a shot.5.

A. You are not alone at all.

B. Then they had better not get a shot.

C. Deep breathing can help people relax.

D. Focus attentively on something in the room.

E. Thus,you can make your waiting time shorter.

F. If you feel sick, sit or lie down and rest for 15 minutes.

G. Then you won't think about the shot while sitting in the waiting room.
