The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

● Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

● Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes at least twice a day.

2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

● Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number doctors recommend.

● Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs(病菌)?

● Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

● Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Last winter, my classmates and I went to London to attending a winter camp. To better understand the history and culture of a city, we scheduled a “museum trip”. In Saturday morning we got up early and studied the map carefully to work out the route. One of my classmates suggested go there by bus to enjoy the street view. It was a long ride, so that we got off the double-decker bus, we seemed to lose way. The streets looked busy and strangely, and we have had to ask a passer-by for help. She pointed out the right direction and wished us a good day. Thanks to the friendly woman, we finally got to our destination. It took us some effort, however we witnessed the real beauty of the city. The experience also abled us to practise our English. What a terrific experience!

John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.

Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child’s imagination.

Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John’s daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual (惯例), which had held such importance for her father.

In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John’s life, his days in the British Navy (海军) during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.

Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reached land. This period of John’s life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.

Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.

1.Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel _____.

A. proud B. worried

C. curious D. guilty

2. Why did the author introduce herself to the lady?

A. She wanted to make more friends.

B. She was also fond of feeding seagulls.

C. She was told the lady was John’s daughter.

D. She was attracted by what the lady was doing.

3. We can infer from the text that John _____.

A. once served in both World Wars

B. was a man with a grateful heart

C. spent his childhood in Bangor

D. joined the navy in the 1970s

4.What does the author mainly tell us in the text?

A. She expressed her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.

B. She told us the story of how she made friends with a lady.

C. She shared with us her memories of a man who fed seagulls.

D. She talked about her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. You have to be with them in both good and bad times. In return, they will be there for you. But how can you be a good friend?

Listen. Listen when they are talking. Keep eye contact. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes you're not required to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.

Help them. If your friends are ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't become their slave (奴隶). Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes as they may forget to take one. Have a few extra dollars in your pocket in case they forget something they need.

Be there for them. Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and baking things are among the nicest things you can do for a friend when they are in hard times. Marilyn Monroe once said, "I'm selfish, impatient (急躁的) and a little insecure. I make mistakes, and I am out of control and at times hard to deal with. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you surely don't deserve (值得) me at my best. " Always remember this! If you don't want to deal with your friends when they're depressed, then you don't deserve to be with them during those parties where you have a good time!

Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for an ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Make time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. These are the things you'll remember once you're all long graduated when looking back on your life!
