    I did volunteer(志愿者) work in a Kenya orphanage(孤儿院)last year. It was an unforgettable experience.

    When I first went to Kenya 1 my classmates, I saw many poor children. I was 2 that we might have to live like them. I was right. We had to sleep in a very 3 room—18 girls stayed together. As there was not enough 4, we had to save it day and night. We only had five minutes to have a bath each time.

    5 the living environment was bad, we did many things to help children there, such as teaching and cleaning. The most difficult thing for me was taking care of babies who were less than year old. That was the first time I held a baby. It was not 6 at all. The babies kept 7 no matter what I did. When I fed them, they still didn't calm down(平静下来). After a while, I was so 8 from the pain(疼痛)in my back and shoulders. I realized how much my parents did for me when I was young.

    When we were 9, a 5-year-old girl gave her teddy bear to us. It was her Christmas gift.

    Seeing her smiling face and the clean orphanage, we felt 10 of ourselves.

    Do you want to stay away from obesity (肥胖)and live a healthy life? Then the things you do every day are very important.

    Healthy eating habits

    It's easy to fall into the same choice(选择）when it comes to food. But eating the same food not good for your health. It's time to have a plan for your meal. You can go to the supermarket or shop online. Fill your shopping trolley(购物车)with different vegetables every day and cook them.

    Get moving

    You don't need to do exercise for an hour in the gym every day or do the same exe and over again. Short-time exercising is a better way. And it will only take a little time.

    ★Take some exercise while you are brushing your teeth.

    ★Drive less and walk more.

    ★When you have 15 minutes, you can go out of your house and run as fast as you can. See how far you can go.

    Having enough sleep is also important for your health. Can you get a god sleep every night?

    In a big shopping center, a little girl is sitting on a bench alone. She does not move. It seems that she is lost.

    After some time, a man walks up to her. He is a father himself, so he feels worried about this little girl. "Hello," he says. "Are you OK? Are your parents here with you?"

    The little girl does not even look up at him! He gently sits down next to her and touches her shoulder(肩膀). Now she raises her head, and he can see that she is crying. He feels terrible!

    He gives her a very warm smile and holds out his hand. She looks afraid, but she takes his hand.

    He takes her to the shopping center information desk and makes an announcement(广播).

    "Attention: a young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter, please come soon! Thank you. "

    Minutes later, a woman comes running toward the desk. As soon as she sees the little girl, she shouts and runs up to her. She holds the girl into her arms tightly(紧紧地).

    Then she turns to the man and says, "Thank you so much, sir. I was looking for her everywhere. I could not announce it here because she is deaf(聋的)"

Now the man understands why the little girl did not look at him until he touched her shoulder. He feels happy that he helped her.

    India is one of our neighbors. How much do you know about it? Now let's learn more information about it.

    India is one of the four oldest civilizations(文明) in the world. About 5, 000 years ago, Indian civilization was born. Today, with a population (人口)of over 1. 2bilion(十亿), India is the world's second most populous country behind China.

    Its great civilization makes the country exciting. The world's highest mountain, the Himalayas, rises in the north. The mountain is home to some of India's rarest(最珍稀的)animals.

    Also, India is famous for making software(软件). IT products(产品)from India are widely used. If you have a mobile phone, some of the parts may come from India.

    Many Indians work for IT companies in Bangalore, also called the Silicon Valley(硅谷)of India. It is the country's software production center.

    If you are not interested in software, then India's modern culture may excite you. Most Indian films are called Bollywood films. Many of them tell stories with a lot of lively music and dancing.

    They usually have a happy ending. For example, 3 Idiots (《三傻大闹宝莱坞》）is one of the best ones.

    Do you like bananas? They taste good and you can have them without washing. However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050.

    One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries that produce 86% of the world's bananas. They found that climate change made people harvest more bananas.

    However, if temperatures keep going higher, this advantage will disappear. Some countries, like India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce(生产)fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

    Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

    Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

    One serious disease is called Panama. It spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园)develop the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't found a good way to deal with this disease till now.

Mike: Hey, Li Mei.       

Li Mei: Hi, Mike. I went to Jay Chou's concert.

Mike: Oh, really. I know he is a very famous Chinese singer.      

Li Mei: I think he is one of the greatest singers in China like his musical style.

Mike: Do you think he is handsome?

Li Mei: Well, he looks cool. He is famous because of his talents(天赋).       

Mike: What do you mean?

Li Mei: Well,       He also takes part in charity(慈善)programs to help poor people.

Mike: I see, that sounds nice.

Li Mei:      I wish I could become a singer like him.

    Do you drink milk every day? We believe that milk is good for our health. But is that the whole truth? Let's take a closer look!

    Milk might be one of the best things we can drink. It has a lot of nutrients（营养物质)to help children grow. It's rich in calcium(钙)and vitamins(维他命). Calcium gives us strong bones.

    Doctors say that milk is also good for our teeth and heart. And a glass of warm milk helps us get a good night's sleep. Milk is great!

    However, some studies show that milk may cause some health problems. For example, drinking a lot of milk(three or more times a day) may make children fat, Lives Science reported. Also, milk might not actually make our bones stronger. Scientists found that some people who drank more milk also had more broken bones;

    So should we still drink milk? Milk may not be a superfood. But it does give us a lot of nutrients. Drink milk if you like it, but not because you think it is the best thing for your health.
