　　Yesterday afternoon, the students were having a chemistry class．Miss．Lee was telling the children what 　　1　　 was like．She asked her students,“Could you say something more about water?”No one answered for a few 　　2　　．Miss．Lee asked again,“Why don't you answer my questions?”

　　Just then a boy 　　3　　 his hand and said,“Miss．Lee, you told us that water has no colors and no smells．But where to find such water?The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell．“Yeah, that's true!”Most of the children agreed 　　4　　 him．

　　“I’m sorry, children,”said the teacher．“Our water is getting dirtier and dirtier．That’s really a 　　5　　 problem．What should we do to make the river clean?”

　　Here are some accidents which often happen to children：

　　◆Scald(烫伤)－Small children don’t understand that hot water and hot drinks can be dangerous．Adults often forget the danger, too．It only takes a cup of tea or coffee, or a bath that’s too hot to scald a child badly．

　　◆Falls－Children of all ages fall and hurt themselves from time to time．For babies, the danger is rolling off the edge of something, like beds, chairs or tables．For babies of two to four, climbing on furniture doesn’t seem dangerous．It’s just fun．But it’s very easy for them to fall off a piece of furniture, down the stairs, out of a window or off a balcony(阳台)．

　　◆Burns－Many children die in house fires and more are badly burnt．A cigarette(香烟)can easily start a fire．A child can also be burnt by a hot iron or matches．

　　◆Cuts－Glass causes the most serious cuts．So do broken bottles, doors or windows．

　　One of the easiest ways to keep healthy is to do jogging：“Jogging is the name for a very gentle(平和的)running－it is just a little faster than walking．”

　　Start slow jog 20 meters, then walk 20 meters．Little by little, if you are not feeling very tired, you may do more jogging and less walking．Finally, jog the whole day．It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week, slowly, increase this to 20－30 minutes every day．The longer you join in jogging, the more you enjoy it and the healthier you will become．Some people like jogging alone, and others enjoy doing it with friends．Jogging in groups makes people keener(更热心), because you can just not stay in bed while there is a group of friends waiting outside．

　　If you want to start jogging, prepare a pair of comfortable shoes and a determined(坚定的) mind．
