Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养). The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.

But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?

Although he never catches anything,on this particular day he finally does hook three big ones,but the little one gets away. The boy pulls them home in his wagon and his mother cooks them for supper. The swinging rhythms of the text and the good humor evident in the illustrations remain fun for the youngest readers.

4.This useful,attractive,oversize volume uses its height well,employing a tree metaphor to show the earth’s various kinds of life and how all living things. from bacteria to the largest mammals,are related. Each spread covers one branch of the animal kingdom. To make the enormity of species understandable. Strauss equates individual species(e. g. ,1 0,000 bacteria)with one leaf on the tree.
