Health is the most important thing in the world．Nothing is more important than health．If we take away our money，houses，or even our clothes，we can still survive．（36）EThat is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly．
How can we keep healthy？In order to eat healthily，I usually avoid eating food high in fat，like French fries or cookies，which are junk food．（37）AI eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits which are full of vitamins．
（38）BTaking exercise every day helps us build a strong body．Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy．
What's more，I think friends are an important part of one's health．（39）GI always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone．When I am with friends，I always laugh．Laughing is also an important part of health．It's good to stay with my friends．

1．March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day，a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep．Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call．
According to a poll （民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation，nearly 4 in 5 Americans don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek．On average，adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night，although some can manage with less and some won't do well without more．But the survey found that，on workdays，only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep，and another 21% get less than six．
To many of us，the thought of spending more time sleeping is，well，a big yawn．On the other hand，the thought of being smarter，thinner，healthier and more cheerful can be very attractive．And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we get enough sleep，researchers say．Also on the plus side：We're likely to have better skin，better memories，better judgment，and，oh，yes，longer lives．
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason，it influences your performance the next day，"says Dr．Alon Avidan，director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center．
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children．When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights，they didn't function as well during the day．
But sleeping has an image problem．"We see napping or sleeping as lazy，"says Jennifer Vriend，a clinical psychologist in Ottawa，Canada，and the leading author of the study with children．"We put so much attention on diet，nutrition and exercise．Sleep is in the back seat．"In fact，she adds，no matter how much we work out，no matter how well we eat，we can't be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep．

A．to wake up the sleepers                 B．to draw people's attention

19．I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled"A Real Test in My Life"before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how（61）terribly（terrible） shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes （62）fixed（fix） upon me．I had no （63）choice（choose） but to prepare for it，though．First of all，I was to draft the speech，which is just a cake for me，agood writer．But the hardest part （64）lay（lie） in my oral presentation from my memory-for to read from the paper was not allowed．The real moment began （65）whenI stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank．But my（66）listeners（listen） were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me．Gradually I found myself back，giving out my speech with difficulty．After what seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding----I made（67）it!From then on，my fear of talking before a big audience （68）appeared（appear）．Actually with my confidence building up，I now turn out to be a great speaker．（69）Looking（look） back，I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear．Overcome it，（70）andwe will be able to achieve our goals．

18．These days，drugs can be found everywhere．Many teenagers are attracted by the excitement that drugs seem to offer，but it is important that we learn the facts about drugs．
    Some drugs are medicines．They can cure，slow，or prevent disease and help people to live healthier and happier lives，b ut there are also a lot of harmful drugs that people take to make them feel good or have a good time．
    How do drugs work？Drugs are chemicals that change the way our bodies work．When you put them into your body，the drugs find their way into your blood and are carried to parts of your body，such as your brain．In the brain，drugs may make your senses become either stronger or weaker，change your attitude or even reduce the feeling of physical pain．Some drugs can seriously damage a person's ability to make certain choices and decisions．
    However，some teenagers believe drugs can help them think better，become more popular，or stay active for longer．Many teenagers use drugs because they are unhappy or think drugs will help them escape their problems．The truth is that drugs cannot solve problems．When you use drugs，it simply helps you to hide from your feelings and problems．When a drug wears off，the feelings and problems that bother you will still remain-or even become worse．Harmful drugs can destroy a person's life．Some drugs are hig hly addictive．Even if you use them once，they can cause an addiction that makes it very，very difficult for users to stop．

17．An American company has developed a car powered by electricity that travels at high speed like cars powered by traditional fuels．Company officials say the car is experimental and will not be sold to the public for a long while．Yet some experts have called the vehicle（交通工具） an important step toward the production of pollution-free automobiles （汽车）．The new car，called the Impact，was made by the General Motors company．Engineers say the Impact uses technology developed for the car that won the first international race for vehicles powered by sunlight．The Impact creat es no air pollution because its power comes from a large battery（电瓶）．It can travel at a speed of 88 kilometers an hour．Then the battery must be refueled with more electricity．The battery can be refueled in a few hours with electric current （电流） from a person's house．It must be replaced completely every two years．The Impact has two motors．Each powers one of the front wheels．Reports say the car makes almost no noise at low speed．It makes a small noise as it goes faster．The Impact has a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour and it can go from zero to 96 kilometers an hour in eight seconds．That is faster than most gas-powered cars．
The head of General Motors，Roger Smith，has not said how much the Impact might cost，but he says it would have to be competitive with other car prices．Mr Smith also says a few problems still remain．For example，the cost of operating the Impact today would be about twice that of other cars．Reports say the new electric car has raised hopes among environmental officials，especially in California．American car makers are hurrying to meet new air pollution laws in that state．General Motors says California would be the main market for the Impact．But the company says it would not produce the car at all unless people all over the United States wanted to buy it．Some company officials say the car could be in production within five years．

28．The highest speed the Impact can reach isCkilometers an hour．

16．Do you have bright ideas for inventions that change society or at least make life easier for somebody？Perhaps we all do sometimes，but we don't often make the idea a reality．Recently，in Britain，there was a competition （比赛） called Britain Designers for Tomorrow，which encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas．There were two groups in the competition：Group One was for school children under 16； Group Two was for school children over 16．And there were eleven prize winners altogether．
Neil Hunt，one of the prize winners，was called"Sunshine Superman"by one newspaper carrying his design．It's important when people study to record sunshine accurately （准确地）．We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is．Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight．Neil's is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power．With his prize $100，Neil plans to carry on inventing．
You can do so much with cartoons．Look at Simon West's idea for animated（动画） road signs．He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them．This isn't a new idea．But it is new to use these pictures on road signs．"We found that people were more likely to pay attention to moving signs，"said Simon．So now，you can really see rocks falling，trains moving，horses running or a car falling over edge of a cliff （悬崖）．Quite a warnin g!
The ideas in the competition were so creative that we are surprised．Why British industry doesn't ask more school children for suggestions．Perhaps this will be the start of pupil power!

A．ask scientists to carry out their bright ideas    
B．ask children for suggestions
C．encourage young people to carry out their clever ideas
