The oldest brother. Bill, had a lot of money and he wanted his mother to have the most expensive gifts, but he didn’t know what to buy. So he put an ad in the newspaper. “Wanted-the greatest gift for my mother.”

About the importance of good health, nobody can explain better than your doctor. They are the people who really know the importance of keeping fit and healthy. I am saying this because my doctor is an angel. Every time I put on an extra pound, he will remind me of what it is happening to my body. If we do not need to visit any doctor, we think we are very healthy. But that is not true. We may look healthy but we don't know clearly what is happening inside. However, there are many different ways we can make sure that we look inside as good as we do outside.
The first and easiest step is keeping a good idea, a balanced diet.
Next is sleeping well. Sleep early. Make sure you get nine hours of sleep.
Do not skip your breakfast. It is one of the most important meals of the day. Eat your regular meals, and it will do you good to eat healthily even during breaks.
Exercise your body every day. Go for a swim, or walk, or just play a game of football or tennis.
Try your best not to get stressed because it’s bad for your health.
Remember to keep washing your hands, and then you won’t catch any infection.
Get away from your bad habit. Don't smoke. Some wine does your body good while most of it does harm. Be wise and don't drink too much.

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar(北极) bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world.

A lift is very useful. It looks like a small room. It goes up and down all day. Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates(操作) it up and down. In modern lifts there's no worker. People walk in. They know what floor they want to go. They push a button(按钮)and the lift goes to that floor. It's very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs(楼梯)?Maybe people can climb them once. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty-four floor? Can their mothers or fathers carry food up to all those stairs? Of course not. We can have very high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings without lifts. Because it is too tired for people to climb the stairs every day.
