I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a

book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories

about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For

example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand

them.

Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about

it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture

books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a

life-long habit.

No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is

that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While

reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s

like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.

Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of

words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination

disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health,

I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor

that make us laugh out loud!

A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.

One day a student went to see his teacher. He had been given an important position

and now was coming to say goodbye to his teacher. The old man asked him how he would

live among high officials. The student answered, “ I will be all right. I have

prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official I will meet. I am sure I will

succeed.” The teacher got angry on hearing this. “What?” he cried. “Is this

what ten years of my teaching has made of you? Nothing but flatterer(拍马屁的人)?”

“Excuse me, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student rose to his feet and apologized

hurriedly. “But you have always been absorbed in your studies and don’t know how

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take

good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care

in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay

in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. 第 3 页 共 9 页 Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work

well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food

with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like meat,

fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide

necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful

to be overweight.

Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough

sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period
