If you are like millions of other people in the world, you probably want to live a healthy lifestyle. While many people are able to achieve this lifestyle, there are even more that are looking for ways to improve their health. Here are 5 tips to help you.
1．Healthy diet
The food you eat plays a huge role in what type of lifestyle you live. If you eat fast food every day, you clearly don’t have the best diet. You should eat vegetables, fruits, bread as well as meat and fish, and even some snack foods once in a while.
2．Water
Drink plenty of water every day and it is good for your health. Usually you need to drink 8～10 glasses of water a day.
3．Exercise
Take some exercise every day. You can take a walk, play ball games with your friends, or ride a bike. Exercise is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. 4．Have fun
Getting out and having fun is crucial because it helps let out the stresses. Go out for a movie with your friends once in a while. Go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. Or just lie down and read a book.
5．Sleep
Without enough sleep, our immune system(免疫系统) will be weak and it will be difficult to get through the day. Getting a good night’s sleep c an make the world of a difference in how you feel and how much you can do the next day.

To most of us，school means classes，teachers，schedules，grades，and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts，school is very different.
Firstly，there are no lessons. All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want
to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three­year­old，‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them！”says Daniel Greenberg，a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day，they will lose all taste(兴趣) for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School，you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees，or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget(预算)，and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would never work. But today，the school has 200 students，and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
28. What is the main topic of the article?
A．An unusual school
B．Children’s hobbies
C．A school without rules
D．Education in the US
29．What does the school believe?
A．Teachers cannot teach children well.
B．Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C．Learning is for adults—children should only play.
D．Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
30．What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?
A．They love learning
B．They are very naughty.
C．They want to be outside all the time.
D．They are too young to learn anything.
31．What happens to the children after they leave this school?
A．They do all things in different ways.
B．They have problems getting into college or getting a job.
C．Most of them have a promising(光明的,有前途的) future.
D．They are not successful.
D
One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Do n’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say;
they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them— If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You sho uld try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them— Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
______—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old! 32. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.
A. give him or her some advice
B. just listen unless asked
C. calm him or her down
D. share your feelings as well
33. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?
A. Life without a friend is death.
B. A friend is easier lost than found.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. A man is known by his friends.
34. Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph?
A. Make plans.
B. Enjoy yourself.
C. Understand your friends.
D. Play with your friends.
35. The passage is mainly about______.
A. how to find a good friend
B. how to help friends in trouble
C. how to make more friends
D. how to be a good friend
