Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by …. The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad, "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I'm no longer a kid. I wouldn't play around the tree any more." The boy replied. "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, I don't have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money. "The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?" "Sorry, I don't have a house. But you can cut off my branches(树枝)to build your house."So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me boat?" "Use my trunk(树干)to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. "So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root (树根).” The tree said with tears①. “I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I'm tired after all these years," the boy replied.

"Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest. " The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears②.

A recent report by the American Heart Association — a big organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy —found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good — kind of average (平均的). Let’s say your mom was the same kind of kid when she was your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mom from 30 years ago. Wouldn’t that be cool? What wouldn’t be so cool is that the study shows your mom would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds (秒). That’s a lot. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight (超重的). That makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your mom and dad to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you up and to move.
