What’s the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It’s your teeth. There is a special thing called enamel（牙釉质）in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria（细菌）away. However, teeth are hurt easily to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let’s pay attention to the health of our teeth.
Teeth problems are common around the world. Most children and young adults have tooth decay（龋齿）. A study which come out on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74% of a sample（抽样）of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 has decayed teeth.
Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth. The bacteria turn sugar into acids that eat away at tooth enamel. This causes holes in your teeth.
Another common problem is crooked teeth（龅牙）. When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.
Don’t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy.
◆Brush at least twice a day in the morning and in the evening.
◆Learn to use dental floss(牙线). The floss gets rid of food that’s hidden where your toothbrush can’t get it.
◆Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.
◆Pay attention to what you eat. It’s better to eat lots of fruit and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.

In the United States, headmasters（校长） and teachers discipline(惩罚)students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the student’s parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves(行为)very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr.Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” They thought.
One day, a boy was in Mr.Lazares’s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr.Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes,” he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(难为情). After that he behaved better. And of course other students behaved better, too.

Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year.

Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.
A recent survey found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.
One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer.
Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.
Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams.
Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28 - year - old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!
This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.Children of 8 to 12 in the US spend at least _________ hours a week playing video games.
