How do you feel when you get up in the morning? Happy and active or tired and weak?
Do you often wake up with a headache(头痛)? Well, if the answer is yes, take Dr. Talbot’s advice and start feeling better.
☆ Get up and move. If you hate feeling tired and unhappy, you should start exercising, Try running, swimming or cycling. When we exercise, our body produces special chemicals (化学药品) that give us energy and make us feel happier. If you can’t stand exercising, listen to your favorite music and dance to it. That’s exercise, too.
☆ Eat healthily. You should eat three balanced (平衡的) meals every day and you shouldn’t eat too much fast food. If you need some extra (额外的) energy the whole day, make an energy drink. Mix (混和) together fresh fruit juice and low-fat milk. It tastes great!
☆ Go out and enjoy nature. The smell of flowers will make you feel happy. Even the smell of your favorite food can change the way you feel!
☆ Wake your body up. When you have a shower, change the temperature of the water----from hot to cold and back to hot again. You’ll feel the difference.
☆ Laugh! You should laugh for, at least, three minutes, three times a day. It will make you feel great!

France is well known for its fine art， tasty food and romantic scenery． About 75million visitors come here every year．
France is the largest country in Western Europe． It has a population of over 66million． The country is home to many famous places of interest， like the River Seine as well as the Eiffel Tower．
Many visitors also come for the country's art． Sculptor （雕刻家） Auguste Rodin and painter Claude Monet once created their great works here． If you visit France today， it is not a surprise to meet street artists in the city or come across a singer in the subway．
No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre， one of the largest and most famous museums in the world． Inside， there are 35，000works of art， such as the painting Mona Lisa by Da Vinci and the statue （雕塑） David by Michelangelo． It would take nine months to enjoy all the pieces．
Besides， French food is world famous． Bread is very important in France． The best known French bread is called a baguette． They are long， delicious and taste salty． Snails （蜗牛） are also a must﹣have here． French people eat 40，000tons of snails every year!
But France is not always good． Paris， the city of light， may also show its dark side to visitors． Chinese visitors feel sorry about the crowded subway in Paris．
根据短文内容，回答下列问题．
（1）What is France famous for？
（2）There are many famous places of interest in France， please give two examples．
（3）How long does it take to enjoy all the pieces in Louvre？
（4）How many snails do French people eat every year？
（5）Why do Chinese visitors feel sorry about the subway in Paris？
Nowadays， the food that you buy comes from many different countries． Have a look in your fridge and fruit bowl， and check the origins （来源） of the food． Perhaps there are apples from California or potatoes from Egypt． You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate． This journey， from "field to plate"， is called "food miles"． A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food． Nowadays， food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer （消费者）． Why is this， and what are the effects （影响） of these long distances？
Traditionally， farmers sold their food in the local market， so the food didn't have to travel very far． The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food． Now， because of modern technology， food comes from all over the world． We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes． They are availablein winter if we want．
Some countries have to import （进口） most of their food． This is because they have difficult climates． The United Arab Emirates （UAE）， for example， get 85% of its food from other countries．
I believe these miles are worrying for some reasons． First of all， because food travels such long distances， we need more planes， trucks and ships to move the food． This means we use more oil or petrol， so there is more pollution and more global （全球的） warming． Besides， food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty． Tomatoes， for example， are picked early and stored for their long journeys． For this reason， they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer． Local food has a better taste， and it also reduces （makes sth． less） the amount of global pollution． We need to buy more local food．

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village．As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped．He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg．No chains，no cages．It was clear that the elephants could，at any time，break away from their ropes but for some reason，they did not．
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away．'Well，'the trainer said，'when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that rage，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．'
How could it be？These animals could at any time break free from their ropes．But because they always stuck right where they were，they believed they couldn't．
Just like the elephants，how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something，just because we failed at it once before？
