    A Singaporean woman will return to normal life today after spending three days in a glass box. 26-­year-­old Cheyenne Lu has been living in full view of the public on a busy shopping street in an effort to quit smoking (戒烟)．

    Lu, who has been smoking for the last 12 years, knows how difficult it is to quit. Her previous (以前的) efforts all failed because she didn't tell her family and friends that she was trying to give up. So this time she has made her decision very public. The experiment was organized by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) as part of an effort to encourage young Singaporean women not to smoke. There has been a large increase in the number of women smokers in recent years.

    Lu has been eating and sleeping in a glass room for the last three days, with an Internet connection and a collection of DVDs to help her pass the time. Besides, she has been having yoga (瑜伽) classes with a fitness trainer. Lu, who is a writer, has been keeping an online blog of her experiences in the glass house.

    Lu says she has received a lot of encouragement from people passing by. However, some people have tried to make it more difficult by stopping in front of her window and smoking. One stranger even offered to give her $500 to smoke with him. "Surprisingly, it made me want to stop smoking even more," said Lu.

    Although Lu has tried not to smoke for three days, she knows this is only the beginning of her smoke­free journey. But she has something to look forward to. She is a supporter of Arsenal Football Club, and she plans to use all the money she saves by not smoking to travel to London. She wants to see her hero Cesc Fabregas in real life.

    One night about nine o'clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon (外科医生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

    The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o'clock.

    A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.

    It was after two o'clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.

    The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.

    "MR. Cunningham," said Dr. Haydon to the man, "This is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy."

    Most parents realize that a diet of soda and candy isn't a healthy choice, but what should they do if their children are picky eaters who refuse fruit and vegetables? There are ways to help kids eat healthily and avoid involving many fights at the dinner table.

    Jane E. Brody wrote an article for The New York Times in August 2015. The articled title is Another Approach to Raising Healthy Eaters. In this article, she shares her experience as a child who was a picky eater. She provides some useful views for parents who have children that are very picky about what foods they will eat.

    It turns out that demanding (要求)that a child eat something doesn't really work well. The command to "clean your plate" can end up teaching children that it is normal to continue eating after their stomach is full. This habit may continue into adulthood and can lead to overweight bodies or food disorders.

    Instead, parents can try other methods that might actually influence their children to try new foods. One very simple method is to offer your children a small amount of newly introduced food. A large amount can seem intimidating (令人生畏的).One or two bites might feel less "scary" to try.

    Another really easy thing parents can do is to read the ingredients (成分）on food instructions. You might be surprised by the kinds of food that have some form of sugar added to them. One way to be a healthier eater is to reduce the amount of sugar a person eats. Read the ingredient labels, and pick a product that doesn't have extra sugar added. Start making your own type of your child' s favorite foods at home instead of buying processed (加工过的)ones. Consider organic foods over the popular, well-known foods that are full of sugar.

    Sometimes, all it takes to get a child to eat healthily is to offer a food in a different way. Kids that hate raw cauliflower (菜花)might eat it after the vegetable is roasted. It is possible to turn a head of cauliflower into rice. It looks the same and your child may not notice the difference between it and real rice.

    Having a pet is rewarding, but it can be hard work as well. However, if you are well prepared, caring for a pet doesn't have to be a tiring job.

     If so, read on to get some tips for supporting any animal that would be an addition to your family.

     Except for the specific needs of each animal, all pets require time, company and love. You need to make sure that you want a pet not just for days but in the long term. For example, most pets require attention during the day, so make sure you may have enough time at home to look after your pet.

    Choose a pet that fits your lifestyle. Different types of dogs have different needs. Before buying a pet, you should do some research on the behaviors and needs of various pets you like. Don't go into this decision dead set on one species or breed.

    Plan regular visits to the vet(兽医). Be sure to bring your pet to the vet soon after buying it. Just like humans, pets need regular check-ups. Use your first visit to discuss how often you should schedule check-ups and your pet's medical needs.

    Exercise your pet if it's the kind of pet that needs it. Find out the exercise needs of the pet before you buy it. Besides, you should also consider whether your lifestyle gives you enough time to meet your pet. Some pets don't require you to take them for a walk, such as the rabbit and fish.

A. It is important to exercise your pet.

B. Are you considering keeping a pet?

C. But other pets like dogs must be exercised.

D. Determine if you are really able to care for a pet.

E. Are you sure you are buying proper food for your pet?

F. Therefore, make sure you pick a pet that suits your lifestyle.

G. This helps to find problems before their condition becomes serious.

    On my 21st birthday, my mother gifted me a pair of beautiful bangles (手镯). They were the gift1by my granny, and my mom got it at my age. Besides the feelings they are concerned with, these bangles spread their2in another way: They are studded (点缀) with heart-shaped stones.

    Till now, the memory of these bangles always makes me3. It is the best gift that I have ever got, although there is a pity. One day, I found one of the bangles had its studded stones missing. To4it, I went out on a cold afternoon to the jewelry shop. All the way, I was lost in my5, wondering whether the jeweler could make it as the same as it was.6, when reaching the shop, I couldn't find the bangle anywhere. Tears filled my eyes then and it took me weeks to7this sadness.

    Two years later I left the city but the accident8troubled me from time to time. However, twenty years later I was again in the city. One day I went out to9strawberries. The seller was a young lady. While talking with her, I10saw her hand. She was wearing the11bangle that I lost years ago. So I asked her how she12it. She started sobbing (呜咽)," This is a special gift from my late (已故的）father. Many years ago, my father picked it up on the roadside13I said, "The bangle is mine," and I told her the whole14. After hearing that, she15me and tried to pull out that bangle to give it back to me, but I16her. I said, I know the17of losing the things from our loved ones. I don't want to do the same to you. If you18it，I will be happier." We exchanged smiles in silence, and then I left the place. I wasn't19at all. I believe that sometimes "you can't gain much without20a bit." This is what I have learned from the lost bangle.

    You may love going to the beach, having fun in the waves，surfing and enjoying the sun and the sand. But what do you know about beaches?

     (actual), a beach is made up of small loose rocks, turn into sand and they all get together at the shore of a body of water. But how are they made? Well, they (create) by waves or currents (洋流). A current is like a large river inside the ocean that often (flow) from one place to the next. These currents are caused by changes in temperature as well as the wind.
