    The Healthy Habits Survey (调查) shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

    ①How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

    ·Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

    ·Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria (细菌) in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.

    ②How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

    ·Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.

    ·Step: We touch our faces around 3, 000 times a day—often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

    ③How often do you think about fighting germs?

    ·Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

    ·Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

How to achieve a healthy lifestyle

    We all know that it is good to live a healthy life. (live) a healthy life means we should eat healthy food. Yet for many of us keeping a healthy lifestyle is very difficult. Part of this is because we are creatures of habit.

    So if you want (live) a healthy life, you have to change your habits that are not so healthy. In order to feel less tired, you have to replace your habit of sleeping only 4 hours a day with sleeping at least 6 hours a day.

    Now when most people decide to live a more healthy life, they try to deal with all of their habits all at once. Take losing weight example. They go on quite strict diet, and yes, they do lose weight, sometimes a lot of weight in a short period. But they do not really change their eating habits. So these people often notice they will gain the weight and more even, once they stop the diet.

    And the same holds true for these people. They start exercising in order to lose weight or to overcome a physical problem. Once the weight has been lost or the problem has been overcome, many stop (exercise). It has not become a habit.

    In fact, a lot of people don't look forward to (create) these habits, such as eating breakfast, regular physical exercise and enough sleep. People complain these habits are so (bore) and difficult to achieve that they have (little) time to spend on things they like to do. So people should change their attitudes first. What if you thought of chocolate as a kind of boring food? What if you thought of physical exercise as something (relax)?

    There is little rain in desert. Because deserts are so dry, they have no "quilt" to help stop the soil from going away. As a result, they may get very hot during the day with the sun shining, but don't hold the heat overnight. Many deserts can quickly get cold once the sun goes down. Some deserts can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees F during the day and then drop below freezing (32 degrees F) during the night.

    The largest hot and dry desert in the world is the Sahara Desert in Northern Africa. The Sahara is a sandy desert with great sand hills. It covers over 3 million square miles of Africa. Other large deserts include the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, the Gobi Desert in Northern China and Mongolia, and Kalahari Desert in Africa.

    Animals that live in the desert are also used to needing little water. Many get all the water they need from the food they eat. Other animals keep water that they can use later. The camel stores up fat in its hump while other animals keep something they need in their tails.

    Only certain types of plants can live in the terrible environment of the desert. You won't see a lot of tall trees in the desert. Most plants have a way to keep water in their leaves or trunks, so they can live a long time without water. Now deserts cover around 20% of the world's land, but they are growing. This is called desertification and is caused by different reasons including human activities. The Sahara Desert is growing larger and larger each year. What should we do with it?

读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

    There was a rich couple who was throwing a big new year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and had a fixed price. They wanted to maintain their high living standard so they didn't mind paying a lot for it. After purchasing everything they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, not very healthy looking. His clothes were tom and he looked as if he wasn't even able to meet his daily needs.

    They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. The old porter quoted just $20, a price well below the market rate for delivering goods at the couple's home in his cart. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $ 15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn.

    The couple was very happy thinking how well they had bargained with the poor porter and paid him $ 15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, two hours passed, but the porter still hadn't delivered their stuff.

    The wife started to get angry at her husband, "I always tell you not to trust such a person but you never listen to me. Such a person is not even able to earn enough money to feed himself for one time in a day, and you handed him everything we purchased for our big party. I am sure instead of delivering it at our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then go to the police station to file a complaint against him."

    They both left towards the market. On their way, near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their stuff in his cart!

Twenty­five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1, 002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame (名声)  and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.

My name is Wil Wheaton—and I am a nerd (怪人). It's awesome to be  nerd. When I was a little boy, people really teased me about that and  (make) me feel like there was something wrong with me for loving strange things. Now that I'm an adult, I'm a  (profession) nerd, and the world has changed. I think we  (realize) that being a nerd is not about what you love  about how you love.

So there's going to be a thing in your life that you love. I don't know what it's going to be. It might be sports or science or reading or  (tell) stories — it doesn't matter what it is. Some of us love Game of Thrones, while others love Star Wars. But we all love those things so much that we travel  (thousand) of miles — which is  (probable) easy for you, but we're still using fossil fuels, so it's difficult — to be around people who love the things that we love the way that we love them. That's  being a nerd is awesome.

I want you to work hard because everything worth  (do) is hard. I want you to be awesome, and I will do my very best to leave you a planet that you can still live on.
