When we interviewed what the life was like more than 70 years ago, many old soldiers were full of tears in their eyes. They told us that they never forgot those days when they were in the army, during which they lived hard lives but spared no effort to fight against the enemies.
Now in the year 2015 comes the first great parade(阅兵) in the 21st century. September 3rd is the 70th anniversary(纪念) of the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯主义的) war. This day is considered as an important moment for China, as well as the world. 49 countries from all over the world, including South Korea and some European countries attended this special occasion.
In preparation for the parade, the soldiers worked hard every day. In order to walk well in the three hundred meters distance on the Tian’anmen Square, they had to receive extremely strict training. Each day, they got up early in the morning and started the 10 hours’ practice.
When a reporter arrived, it was raining heavily outside, but none of the soldiers stopped training. Nothing can stop their training, and no one can stop their deep love to their motherland.
The reporter asked, “The training is so hard but why does nobody give up?” “It’s the first time for me to join in such an important ceremony. I consider it a great honor. I must try my best.” One of the participants(参与者) answered. In fact, everyone takes pride in taking part in this big parade because they want to show the spirit of Chinese army, the power of Chinese army, as well as the determination of keeping the world in peace.

Teens are gaining（增加）weight. Today most teenagers are at least one size larger than teens were 20 years ago. Even clothing sizes have changed. Did you know that a small today used to be a medium, 20 years ago?
A recent research shows 97％of teens need more exercise. It's bad news because too little exercise means you are missing a lot of good things in life. Exercise helps in two ways.
First，exercise helps your body. Physical activity can make your body strong. It can also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems．
Second，exercise can help your mind. People who get plenty of physical activity might worry less and sleep better at night. You may even learn better in school. Students who are healthy can listen and understand better in class.
So you can change your life and be more active at any point. It's never too late. An article called “How to Limit Screen Time and Get Moving”gives these ideas：
Step away from the screen. Doctors call watching TV or playing video games screen time. You should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. You will enjoy life more if you live it instead of watching it！
Start slowly. An hour a day can seem like a long time. Start with 10 minutes of new activities every day. Add more as you get stronger. Think about walking. Take the stairs instead of the lift. You will feel healthier.
Make fitness fun. Find a sport you like. It doesn't need to be the traditional sports of basketball, soccer,or baseball. Those are all great sports and if you like them, play them. However,you can also try hiking,skateboarding,or even rope jumping. If you enjoy the sport,you will do it.
Choose food carefully. Help your family shop for healthy food. Read the labels（标签）.Look for healthy foods. Eat lots of fiuits and vegetables. Stop buying soft drinks and junk foods. You will feel better if you eat right.
Exercise with others. Find a friend or family member to exercise or play with you. You will have more fun and it helps keep you responsible for going.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？

Dear Boarding Students，
At this time of school year，we can feel some students begin to experience excitement as the summer vacation comes. But some others still don't want to start packing. I once again ask for your attention as we will have summer camps for the new students. There is much work to be done in packing and cleaning-up，especially during exam week.
Each student will get a task list and each task has a deadline（期限）．The dorm（寝室）teachers will work with each student each night to make sure you are getting the tasks done on time. It would be helpful if your parents encourage you to do a little packing and cleaning from now on. It means you can take the posters off the wall，pack up winter clothes，return all borrowed books to the library，etc. Spending twenty minutes a day on your tasks will make the last week of the term very easy，and you can spend more time on the important preparation for exams. If you plan to travel home，I'd like to remind you to take some of your belongings with you.
The coming weekend is a“closed weekend”．During that time no one is allowed to leave school. After packing we need to prepare the dorms for moving out，and store（储藏）students' large belongings.
The last exam is on Thursday and all students leave after their exam. The dorm will remain open until 5 p. m. on Friday for those students that could not get a ride or flight. Please let us know if you need transportation to the airport.
Thank you again for all your attention during the last，busy month of school. As always，you，welcome to call or email me with any questions.
