Of course you don't want to be sick in your vacation. So what can you do while traveling? There are
three things you should remember: relax, sleep and eat well.
     A vacation is a time for relaxing, but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a tourist.
There are so many places to visit: shop, parks, churches and temples (寺廟). You may spend most of the
days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body
means a weak body. A weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good
weather, look for a quiet park bench.
     Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may
be noisy, or the bed may be too hard. Or you may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep
for an hour during the day. The extra hour can make a big difference.
     Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your
body needs fresh fruit, vegetables, meat milk and cheese.
     So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some
rest. Get enough sleep and eat healthy food.

     Nowadays, it's common to keep dogs as pets. We can often see dogs' owners taking them for a walk.
But have you (1)h______ of taking penguins for a walk? Here (2)i______ a piece of news from Japan. In
Tokyo Zoo, penguins go out for a walk in line every day. It is said that this can make them happy and stop
them from being homesick (想家的). The penguins in the zoo didn't eat as (3)w______ as they did in South
Pole (南極) and they were (4)u______ to the keepers when they first got to the zoo, maybe they were not
used to the life in the zoo. So the zoo keepers (5)c______ up with this good idea. They just let them walk
as they did in South Pole. Now, all these penguins have become happy.

Dear Malia and Sasha,
      I know that you've both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all
kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn't
always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our
family on this journey.
     When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world,
become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those
smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn't seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest
happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And 1 realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if
I couldn't make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for (競(jìng)選) President: because of what I want for you
and for every child in the US.
     I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance
to go to college-even though their parents don't have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
     I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and
safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal (平等的).    
     I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you've had. You know, this country has given
our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something
larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
     These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come
true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls
have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.
      I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because
you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
                                                                                                                                      Love, Dad

     In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages.
(3) Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even
greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to
become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
     This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on
the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
     Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they
will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on
streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic,nor should they carry other people on
their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the
busy intersections (交叉路口). (4) By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also
be safe.
     In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in
highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash
helmets (頭盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (傷者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down.
Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer
attention to cycling rules.
