Everyone must go to bed early and get up early, or we won’t be healthy and clever.
Is this true Perhaps（可能）it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten-hour sleep every day. If you don’t go to bed early, you will not have enough sleep. Then you can’t think properly（完全地）and can’t do your work properly. You’ll not be clever.
Some people go to bed late and get up late. That is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark（黑的）. The dark helps us to sleep soundly. When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. If you lack（缺乏）exercise, it becomes weak（虚弱的）. Exercise keeps a strong body.
Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动）around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain（大脑）also need blood, we think with our blood. If we keep our body healthy and take exercises, we can think better.

Step 9 Explanations and extension
1. The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.
对我们提出的有关看电视的问题的回答也颇有意思。
the answer(s) to… ……的答案
2.Although many students like to watch sports, game shows are the most popular.
although是连词，意为“虽然、尽管”，引导让步状语从句，可以与though互换，但不能与but同时出现在一个句子中。也就是说，在同一个句子中，有although就没有but，反之亦然。
e.g.Although He is ill, he goes on working.=He is ill, but he goes on working.
3.It’s good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, but we think the best way to relax is through exercise. 通过上网和看游戏类节目来放松没错，但我们认为最好的放松方式还是通过锻炼。
⑴此句是“It’s+adj.(for sb.)to do sth.（对某人来说）做某事是……的”，it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。
e.g. It’s important(for us) to learn English well.
⑵by doing sth. 通过做某事
⑶the best way to do sth./the best way of doing sth. 做某事的最好方法
⑷辨析across/through/over: across, 作介词或副词，表示“横穿”，指从表面上穿过；through作介词，表示“从一端到另一端”，指在里面或在一定范围内穿过；over表示从物体的上面“穿过，越过，渡过”。
4.Old habits die hard.旧习难改。（英语谚语）(die-dying)
5.So start exercising before it’s too late! 所以赶快锻炼起来，不要等到来不及了！
it’s too late意为“为时太晚；来不及了”，是英语的一个常用表达。
e.g.Now you know you’re wrong, but it’s too late.现在你知道错了，但是已经太晚了。
此处it’s too late与before共同组成从句，表示“不要等到为时已晚；不要等到来不及的时候；趁着还来得及”。这也是一种常见的用法。
e.g.You should work harder before it’s too late to catch up.你应当更加用功，别等到为时已晚而赶不上了。（你现在用功还赶得上。）
6.短语拓展：
be surprised at…对……感到惊讶
mind doing sth.介意做某事 make up one’s mind下决心 change one’s mind 改变主意
never mind 没关系、不要紧 keep in one’s mind 记住
spend some time/money (in)doing sth.花费时间/金钱做某事
spend some time/money on sth.花费时间/金钱在某物/事上
