Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise.
( )1. Early rising people are __________ than late rising people.

Go Ice Fishing
If your family enjoy fishing during the warmer months, there’s no reason 3 (stop) when the weather turns cold. Ice fishing is an 4 (excited)way to fish. But it can also be 5 (danger) sometimes. If the ice isn’t thick enough, you can fall through. So you should be careful.
Paint on the Snow

Using the three primary colours, you can make some other colours.
Shovel(铲)Snow for Someone in Need

Why not 10 (wear)a heavy coat and do these fun activities when it snows

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized(意识到) he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.
One day, our teacher, Mr. Smith, told us that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said, “I won’t go with you. My dad hurt his back. He can’t work. I am not asking my parents for money.”
“Danny, I’m very proud of you for understanding your parents so well,” Mr. Smith replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month. We have lots of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were only discussing how to raise money for the trip.
By standing up and admitting he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.
