My teacher Ms. Welles, told me to leave my glove at home, but I was _3_without my glove. During break, I stood around with sad eyes and drooping shoulders, and in class I was quiet. She also told me that I could do better in my studies if I concentrated on them._4_was true. One day, Ms. Welles introduced a special guest to the class 一 Billy Hawkins！I was _5_Billy said, If you want to be a ball player, its important to study hard in school.”“What does school have to do with baseball? I asked.Ill show you by giving you a baseball_6_.” said Billy, “Herere three questions.

The best students wont only have high marks. They will also be kids who dont dye their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone elses work on an exam? Dont do it again! Thats not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, dont tell your parents you have done homework. Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone. Have you ever quarrels with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself. Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe youll discover Earth II some day. Dont look down on new ideas. Everyones ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone. Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Dont let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should take care of yourself and let your parents know. Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet arent for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Cant you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some: ; . 1.

To find out, ask yourself some questions: Do I exercise regularly? Do I ever walk places instead of driving my car? Do I ever play sports for fun? Do I ever take the stairs instead of the elevator？ If you answered no to any or all of the above questions, you are probably out of shape and need to start a fitness program.Exercise is very important. It improves your strength and blood circulation (循环). It gives you more energy. It can help you relax and sleep well, and it can help control your weight. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General says that exercise can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis (a disease that weakens the bones).The first step is to make a program. A good fitness program should be fun. It should involve (包含) both your arms and your legs, and it should help you to build endurance (the ability to do exercise for a long time). To make a good program for yourself, first you should think about the types of activities you like to do, what you think you are able to do, and when you will have time to do it. A good exercise program will involve cardiovascular activities, such as running, biking, swimming, roller skating, playing soccer or tennis, or jumping rope. It will also involve weight-bearing exercise, such as weightlifting, and stretching activities. Also, daily, low-intensity activities such as walking, gardening, dancing, and climbing stairs are good for your physical health.So what are you waiting for? Get off of the sofa and start exercising. Sign up for yoga, tai chi, or pilates. Join a gym or a running club, or just start walking a half an hour every day. Every little bit helps!1.
