In today's world, it's natural to feel tired sometimes during those long working days. Luckily, there are some things you can do to fight tiredness.

If you aren't drinking plenty of water by now, you should! But remember that juice, soft drinks and the likes aren't what you should drink if you are tired, because they are full of sugar that in fact causes you to lose much water from your body. Water is king, so make a habit to drink a glass of water whenever you feel tired. You can put a full glass of water next to you, you will remember to take a sip (啜一口) here and there throughout your activity. You'll be surprised how quickly drinking water can get rid of your tiredness.

Sometimes you feel tired because you aren't active, especially when you have to work at a computer or sit at a desk all day. Movement, any type of movement in exercise, can help you. Moving your body creates an increased blood flow which in return increases your energy and defeats (战胜) tiredness. Also it makes your breath deeper and then you'll be more energetic immediately. So, all that you need to do is just get up, stretch (伸展) a little bit, or walk around if you can.

Laughing a little can also help you fight your tiredness. You don't have to laugh out loud. Simply finding something interesting is good. So start reading some jokes on the Internet, listen to some radio shows you like, or watch some funny videos on Youku. You will notice that once you start laughing, you won't be tired any more.

Preschooler (学龄前的) Alexis' IQ is 159, which is only one point lower than Stephen Hawking's. Doctors say the average IQ of a person is about 100.

She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish (西班牙语) on her parents' iPad!

Now, she is a member of the Mensa Club，which only accepts people with an IQ within the top 2% of people in the world!

Alexis' father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite (背诵) bedtime stories. “We'd be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime stories from the night before. She didn't just recite them, and she recited them exactly.”

Alexis' father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him.

Most 12— month— old children just take their first steps on their own and most 18— month— olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two— step questions.

Even though Alexis is a genius (天才)，her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.

Traveling - relax and refresh your mind and soul (心灵)

Travel to some interesting places. Traveling locally or to foreign countries will certainly relax and refresh your mind and soul. Mountains and beaches are good places for you to take a holiday.

Doing a part-time job get some working experience

Work part-time, and you can get not only money but also some working experience. The working experience will be good for future jobs. For me, I have some experience in working as a waiter in a five-star hotel.

Taking courses (课程) or going to a camp (露营) - improve yourself

There are some interesting courses to choose from, specially designed for students during school holiday, such as computer courses, English courses and driving courses. These courses are necessary if you want to learn some new skills. And you can also go to a camp to improve yourself and extend (拓宽) your social circle (社交圈).

Information Card

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

【题目】阅读下面两封信并回答问题。
Letter A
Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time, that they will never be as free again. So, my question is — why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids.
However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents' jobs are in the work-place. Their children's jobs are at school.
The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.
Yours,
Overloaded
Letter B
Both parents and children have jobs. The parents' job is to go to work to earn money. The children's job is to go to school. But we all get hungry. Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward. We all wear clothes that get dirty. Someone has to wash them, iron them, and put them away. Children work from 9 until 4. Parents work from 8 until 6. Sure, after 4 o'clock, children have homework. But after 6, parents have homework too. They have to do the shopping, go to the bank, pay the bills, and help their kids with their own homework!
I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home. They might not like it, but it's good for them．It teaches them how to look after themselves．This is really useful when they leave home to go to college or to live on their own.
（1）Who most probably wrote Letter B，a parent or a child?
（2）Why does Letter B say it's good for teenagers to help out a bit at home?
（3）The two letters agree that parents and children both have jobs，don't they?
（4）Do you agree that children should do housework at home? Why or Why not?
