It's getting hotter and hotter outside. Summer is already here! Summer means high temperature, more outdoor activities and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. How can we stay fit in this exciting season Here are some good suggestions.
Eat and drink properly
What is healthy to eat in summer Fresh and light food. Fish can be a good choice. It can keep your body energetic and help fight against the burning sun. Another good choice is colourful fruit and vegetables. They not only lease our eyes, but are full of healthy chemicals(化学物质). Tomatoes can help protect your skin against sunburn. Blueberries are good for your brain and eyes. The more colour, the better!
With all those summertime activities you will be thirsty. What to drink Water. Water has zero calories(卡路里) and is the perfect drink to stop your thirst(口渴). Try not to drink too many energy drinks, sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine(咖啡因) in them.
Stay active and cool
Summer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities and play. It's also a good time to lose weight. If you are lucky enough to be near a body of water, try water sports like swimming, surfing, water skiing and so on. These sports keep you cool and active at the same time. You'll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well.
Be careful of the sunshine
Summer allows us more chances to get outside, but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine. If you are going outside, keep away from the sun when it's the strongest—usually between 11 a．m. and 3 p．m. If you have to stay in the sun for a long time, sunscreen(防晒霜), a big hat and a long sleeve jacket will be necessary.

Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth(再生) and new life. The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming(开). The season represents(代表) hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece—— “Spring”, which shows happiness. Italian composer(作曲家) Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.
However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded “I Dream of Spring” in 2008.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote “It Might as Well Be Spring” for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness(焦虑) or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote “Spring Is Here”, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.
Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, “Spring Will be a Little Late This Year”. Why has the season been delayed(延迟) Because the singer’s lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.
By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy(牛仔) song Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded “When It’s Spring time in the Rockies” in 1937.
And finally, we’ll leave you with a sunny song called “Up Jumped Spring”. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz(爵士) song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.

Autumn is the time to eat some seasonal foods. During this time, crab(蟹肉) is very delicious. Pears, beans and many other plants are there to harvest. You can pick and eat these fresh fruits and vegetables.
Most areas in China become cool after the Autumn Equinox. Many flowers blossom during this period. You can enjoy the cool weather and the beautiful flowers in a park. So why not have an outing on the weekends

That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to 1 the front row of the shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He 2 wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday.

He decided not to go home 5 , because he looked worried and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair.

It's getting hotter and hotter outside. Summer is already here! Summer means high temperature, more outdoor activities and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. How can we stay fit in this exciting season Here are some good suggestions.
Eat and drink properly
What is healthy to eat in summer Fresh and light food. Fish can be a good choice. It can keep your body energetic and help fight against the burning sun. Another good choice is colourful fruit and vegetables. They not only lease our eyes, but are full of healthy chemicals(化学物质). Tomatoes can help protect your skin against sunburn. Blueberries are good for your brain and eyes. The more colour, the better!
With all those summertime activities you will be thirsty. What to drink Water. Water has zero calories(卡路里) and is the perfect drink to stop your thirst(口渴). Try not to drink too many energy drinks, sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine(咖啡因) in them.
Stay active and cool
Summer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities and play. It's also a good time to lose weight. If you are lucky enough to be near a body of water, try water sports like swimming, surfing, water skiing and so on. These sports keep you cool and active at the same time. You'll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well.

Summer allows us more chances to get outside, but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine. If you are going outside, keep away from the sun when it's the strongest—usually between 11 a．m. and 3 p．m.

Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth(再生) and new life. The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming(开). The season represents(代表) hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece—— “Spring”, which shows happiness. Italian composer(作曲家) Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.
However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded “I Dream of Spring” in 2008.

It is a feeling of restlessness(焦虑) or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote “Spring Is Here”, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.
Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, “Spring Will be a Little Late This Year”. Why has the season been delayed(延迟) Because the singer’s lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.
By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy(牛仔) song Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded “When It’s Spring time in the Rockies” in 1937.
