One of the best and easiest pets to take care of is a mouse. It is easier and cheaper than a dog, and it is a better friend than a cat. A mouse is interesting to watch. It loves being with people. And it does not bite and scratch some other pets.

A mouse's house is not as expensive as a dog's. You can use a shoe box, but a stronger box is better. It will be easier to clean. Put a smaller box into the bigger box, too. That is important. Sometimes dogs and cats will try to eat your mouse. They are very dangerous! Your mouse can run into its little box. It will be safer and happier there than in the big box.

A mouse needs a lot of exercise. It does not like having nothing to do. So give it something to climb on. Make two floors in its house. Then it can climb up and down.

A mouse eats everything. It loves fruit. It does not eat as much as some pets, but it eats more often. Give it something to eat two or three times every day. Like all animals, a mouse needs good, clean water. A bottle is better than a bowl, but a bowl is better than nothing. Do not forget to wash its food and water bowls every day.

　We each have a memory (记忆力). That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

　A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

　But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercise.

It's important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.
Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you’ re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better rub both hands while washing them.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. Wha’s more, it’s good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.
Stay connected. Having regular communication with friends is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.
