    We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits，cutting them and putting them into our plates.It's not as easy as you think.It's important to know1and when to eat.

    Fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach（胃）.If you eat fruit like that，it will go straight through  the stomach into the Intestines（肠道）.It will be good to your health and provide you with plenty of2for life activities.So fruit is very important.

    But when you eat two pieces of bread and then some fruit，it is stopped from doing so.Do you know the reason？

    You have probably heard people saying﹣every time I eat watermelon，I burp（打嗝）.When I eat a banana，I feel like3 to the toilet.When the fruit  is 4with other food，it produces gas.That's why you will feel  5.Actually，we will not  check  if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach.

    Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice.When you6want to drink fruit juice，drink only7fruit juice，not from the bottles or cans.Don't drink juice that has been   heated   up.Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients（营养成分）at all.You only get the8of the fruit.

    If you have understood the9way of eating fruits，you have the   10of beauty，health，energy，happiness and a long life.

A Family's Past

    It's important to learn about your family's history．You can pass it on to next generation（一代人）．Someday，you can retell your family's stories．You will be a bridge from the past to the future．

    Lee learned that her family moved to the United States from their native land of China．The time line shows what Lee found out about her family's history．

Ray Charles，a black singer and pianist of the USA．He had won 12Grammy Awards （格莱美奖） and performed at 10，000concerts around the world．Many musicians called him simply"the Genius"．

    Ray Charles was born into a poor family，without a father．When he was 5years old，his younger brother died，and around the same time，Charles started to lose his sight．By the age of 7，he was completely blind．He had already been learning the piano for a year，and when he went blind，his mother knew this would be the only way he would make any money in the future．All his life，Charles remembered her saying："Do it right，or don't do it at all．"

    Later he went to a school for blind and deaf children．There the teachers also encouraged him to study music．Sadly，while he was still at school，his mother died．He left school and in the early 1950s Charles organized a group of players．He sang，played the piano and wrote music．He made many classical CDs with famous artists such as Elton John and the Beatles．

In 2003a film of his life Ray was made．The part of Charles was played by a younger actor and musician called Jamie Foxx．The film director brought Foxx to meet Charles．After they had been playing together for two hours，Charles，then aged 73，jumped up and said："He's the one…he can do it．"A year later Charles died，aged 74．The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charles'music will live on．

    Have you ever been in a conflict（冲突）？Do you know how to solve it？Conflict resolution（解决办法） is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict．Both sides in the conflict explain what they though and what happened．The person who listens to both sides is called the    mediator（调解人）．

    After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict，they discuss ways to solve it．They try to come up with a"resolution"that both sides agree to．They cannot be angry during the communication．Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while someone else is talking．If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry，the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect．After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict，it is time for discussing the best solution（解决办法）．

    Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting．

    ●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field．

●The person who was charged as the"pusher"says it was actually an accident．

    ●The person who was pushed gets the mediator．

    ●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place，away from others to talk．

    ●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings．

    ●Each person describes what happened．

    ●The mediator repeats what he heard，so it is clear to everyone．

    ●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem．

    ●The two persons offer their own resolutions．

    ●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement．

    ●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the resolution．

    ●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem．

    Conflict resolution can be used in many environments．It encourages people to tell what really happened，to share their feelings，and to work together peacefully to solve the problem．It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator．

    Every boy wants to find treasure．And Tom was no different.  One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea．

    "Where can we look for treasure？"asked Huck．

    "It's hidden on islands，under dead trees，but mostly under the floors in haunted（闹鬼的） houses．"

    So，one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure as the haunted house on Cardiff Hill．It was a quiet and lonely which made the boys feel very frightened．They entered quietly，and explored downstairs．Everything was old，broken and dirty．They threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs，but there was nothing there．They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped．

    "What is it？"whispered Huck，going white with fright．

    "Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs．"

    The boys lay down，looking through the holes in the wooden floor．There were two men downstairs．One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was duty and unpleasant﹣looking．

    Tom and Hack shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Injun Joe He said，

    "It's time for us to move，partner．What will we do with the 650formtherobbery（抢劫）？""Let'skeep30each and leave the bag here．"

    The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone．Then he lifted out a bag full of money and look out some coins．The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs．

    Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something．

    "What is it？"asked the other man．

    "It's a box，"said Indian Joe．And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins．The other man found the boys'tools，and they soon pulled out the box．

    "Where's thousands of dollars in there，"Said Indian Joe．

    "The Murrell Gang used this area one summer，"said his partner．

    "They most have hidden their money here．"

    "What will we do with this，Joe？Will we bury（埋）it again？"

    "No，someone might find it，"said Indian Joe．"Let's bury it in the member two den（巢穴）．"

Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left．They decided to watch out for the"man in the sombrero"when he came to town and find out where the member two den was．

    A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain      

    "Excuse me!       Is it the day we were born or the day we die？Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful？"the young man asked．

    "None．The most important day in our lives is today．The wise man replied calmly．

    "Why？"the young man was very surprised．

    "So is it because of my visit？"

    "Even if nobody visited me today，today is still very important，because today is the only wealth we have．No matter how important yesterday is，it has gone by；      

    No matter how ordinary and boring today is，it is in our hands．"

    The young man still wanted to ask something，but the wise man stopped him and said，"When we are talking about the importance of today，we have wasted a lot of it．That is to say，part of‘today'has passed．"

    Having understood this，the young man nodded and then went down the mountain．

          Therefore，what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

A．Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today？

B．Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have．

C．No matter how wonderful tomorrow may be，it hasn't come

D．Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives？

E．He wanted to ask for the wisdom of life．

       us         have a good hand-writing．

He didn't       the audiences      ，he broke the record      ．

      the high﹣speed train runs!

Sharing bikes      in the right place．

I wonder       our winter holiday      ．

My mother       me      some housework．

      the attack of the bees，they rushed into the cave．
