Health is the most important thing in the world. Noth?ing is more important than health. If we take away our mon?ey, houses, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 9 That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exer?cise regularly.

How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk food. 10  I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits which are full of vitamins.

11 Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping us healthy.      

What's more, I think friends are an important part of one's health. 12 I always feel better when I am with friends than I am alone. When I am with friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It's good to stay with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. 13

Let's pretend we're sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat. The Rhine is one of the main water?ways ofGermany, and the river traffic is heavy. It's in?teresting to watch many boats going up and down the river. But the river traffic is not nearly so interesting as the beautiful scenery along the banks and hillsides. The boat is passing many old castles. We can see people working in the vineyards (葡萄园)on the hillsides. There are vineyards as far as the eye can see. Wine from the Rhine Valley is famous all over the world.

Then someone on the boat begins to sing in Ger?man* the song of the Lorelei. It is a song about a beau?tiful siren (美女)who has lured many sailors to their deaths.
