13．Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day？These days we have to do our jobs，look after our homes，save energy
to help the environment，and do exercise to stay healthy!Like many of us，Alex Gadsden never had enough time．He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight．So he decided to do something about it．He invented the cycle washer．
The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride．He not only feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too．
He said，"It gives the user a good workout．I've only used it for two weeks but I've already noticed a difference．"
"I usually get up at around six thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer．I keep it in the garden，so it's nice to get out in the fresh air．After that，I feel full of energy．Then I have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day．"The green washing machine uses 25liters of water a wash，and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag．He normally cycles for 25minutes to wash the clothes，and then for another 20minutes to dry them．And it doesn't use any electricity，of course．

8．Feeling left out？
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn't around．Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember，there's always room for more friends…
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them．Invite someone to play with you or say"Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom．When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly，and say"Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make  new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends．
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other，you can share
something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

Safety Activities for Middle School Kids
School is not the safe place as it used to be．How to keep school safer？How to help students stay away from danger？There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way．Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in N0.1 Middle School．
Mike Smith：About Sports Safety
Once，our head teacher made up a story about sports safety．All we needed to do was to point out safe and unsafe sports behaviors in the story．From this lesson，we knew we should always do warm-up（热身）activities before playing sports and drink some water after that．
Amy Youn9：About Classroom Safer7
Yes，making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves．We were once asked to make up a story about a boy called Little Naughty．He always did something naughty（淘气的）in the classroom and got himself into trouble．In this way，we learned to behave（行为）well and get on well with each other．
Frank Green：About Fire Safety
In our school，we have a fire emergency response practice（火警应急演习）in September every year．So we know where to go if there is a fire in school．We learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器），too．But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire alone，it's too dangerous for young students like us．

Do you feel sleepy，like something is weighing down on your head？Do you feel forgetful？Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable up and down your neck and lower back，and you can't explain why？Do you get sick often？It could be radiation（辐射） from your computer causing it．If you spend three hours or more a day in front of a computer，（and at this point，who doesn't？） you are more easily harmed by these hazards（危害）．

★Keyboard：1000V/m★Mouse：450V/m★Monitor：218V/m
★CPU：170V/m★Notebook computers：2，500V/m
Ways to Protect Yourself from Harmful Computer Radiation：

2．Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily．The vitamins in tea leaves and oranges protect us from radiation and keep our eyes healthy as well．
