A
Dear students,
Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school, but that just isn’t enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?
    Two weeks ago, Mr. Goldstein, the physical education teacher, posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3-5). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. You’ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players
    Mr. Goldstein will teach, so you’ll learn basic skills and new techniques（技巧）to improve your game. That’s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can’t play is when there is snow.
    However, it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids don’t want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now, soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didn’t sign up because you’ve never played soccer before, don’t worry. Beginners are wele and Ms. Goldstein will give you more help.
    Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.
                                                                   The Students’ Union

Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at the B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he broke into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total of $750,000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.
The habitat covers about three acres (英亩) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.
Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene（基因）for white fur. If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color. There are about 1,200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white Kermode bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia. They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and islands along the coast of B. C. between Vancouver and Alaska.

KidZui is a new browser (浏览器) and online service that lets kids aged 3 to 12 explore more than 500,000 websites, pictures and videos. The idea for KidZui came about when one of the founders, Vidar Vignisson, saw how difficult it was for his children to enjoy the power and promise of the Internet in a safe way. Together with Cliff Boro and Thomas Broadhead, they decided to do something.
KidZui was first tested by 8,000 kids and their parents. Lisa Rebena, a parent whose child tested KidZui, said, “My 4-year-old gets into KidZui, reads news and watches videos all by herself, generally doing what she pleases. I’m much more relaxed now when my daughter is on the puter.
Content （内容）in KidZui has been reviewed by a team of more than 200 trained teachers and parents. They make sure that kids see content that is proper for their age in terms of developmental level and reading ability. New websites, pictures and videos are added to KidZui every day .When a young user tries to watch a video outside of KidZui, it will be reviewed and, if proper, added —often within a matter of hours.
Besides, parents can change the content available, add and take out some websites and see what their kids are viewing online. And KidZui sends out a weekly report of their kids’ recent searches and interests so that parents can plan family activities around their kids’ interests. After a 30-day free trial (试用) period, parents who sign up can take advantage of our special rates of $4.95 per month or $49.95 per year, a 50 percent discount (折扣) from standard rates of $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year,

The “freshman fifteen”
You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. 36 “Fifteen”refers to fifteen pounds —the fifteen pounds added to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students put on weight, but it’s encouraging to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes choosing food
37 Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get unhealthy fast food such as French fries and chicken nuggets (鸡块) with soda to drink.
Eating right
38 Here are some ideas:
● Think more about what you eat.
● Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.
● Don’t eat desserts (甜食) full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.
● 39
● It ‘s all right to have a little fast food —but not often.
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. 40 Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat junk food. Walking running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.
A. Talk to your friends about it .
B. Take a long trip and you will feel better!
C. A freshman is a first-year college student.
D. University kitchens serve many kinds of food.
E. Try not to eat so much junk food when you study.
F. If you are careful, you don’t have to add fifteen pounds.
