Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss (丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
Work helps people keep 26
Scientists find that the hard-working people live 27 and more healthily than the jobless.
28 ●Work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. ●Working hard makes many high achievers happy. ●By work, people get to know each other and get more 29 and warmth. ●Work makes one feel hopeful and proud.
Conclusion The 30 you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
Many of us queue (排队) for a long time to see a panda. But a group of people can be close to pandas every day. They are panda keepers! You may envy (嫉妒) them. But behind their job is a lot of sweat (汗水) and hard work.
The job of panda keepers is very detailed (细致的). For example, besides feeding pandas bamboo, the keepers also give them fruits and vegetables. When feeding baby pandas, they don’t put the bamboo on the ground. They stick the bamboo in the wooden “floor”. This way, the pandas can be trained to practice catching and holding things.
Panda keepers need to carry 25 to 50 kg of bamboo and spend four hours cooking rice cakes every day. Also, they need to be on duty 24 hours to take care of baby pandas: cleaning the pandas’ living places, checking their poop and making notes included. Besides, to keep an eye on pandas, keepers are on duty even at night.
Doing the same things day by day may be tiring and boring. But it is their love of pandas that makes the long time worthwhile (值得的). “I will always be by their side and protect them,” said Zhang Yue, a panda keeper in Chengdu.

In many countries it is popular for teenagers to take a part-time job while they are still in high school. In China, however, students are supposed to spend all of their time on their study. In my opinion, it is a good idea for students to go working while studying.
It is true that a student’s most important thing is to study, but it doesn’t need to be the only thing. In fact, a life which only consists of (由……组成) study is not balanced and may make students miss (错过) many important experiences. By doing part-time jobs, students have the chance to meet different people and different problems. This will help them to grow more independent. Also, by doing part-time jobs, students make their own money, and have to plan how to use the money. Finally, while doing a part-time job at a coffee shop or a restaurant, students learn how to work with the other members of the team.
In many counties It is 36 for students to take a part-time job.
In China Students are supposed to spend all of their time on 37 .
It’s good for students to take a part-time job. Students will be more independent because they have the chance to meet 38 and different problems. Students will learn to plan how to use the 39 . Students will learn how to 40 others.
What are you going to be when you grow up And why are you going to do that Here are three examples.

◆I do hope I can become a doctor. It is the doctor who saves people’s lives. Every day lots of people are dying because they can’t get better. I want to be a doctor because I want to help the poor people who don’t have money to see doctors.
◆I’m going to be a teacher. I love the feeling to teach others, and it is really good to spread knowledge (传播知识). I know that to be a teacher won’t get as much money as other jobs, but I will keep this dream job!

Police officers, soldiers, fire fighters and airline pilots all wear uniforms. These clothes help to protect them. For instance, fire fighters wear coats and helmets to protect them from heat and falling ceilings (天花板). Police officers wear special jackets to protect them from bullets (子弹), and soldiers wear green clothes to help them hide in the forest.
But at other times people wear uniforms for special occasions (场合) such as marching. When officials dress in their best uniforms they look important. When we see airline pilots wearing uniforms we know that they can fly the plane. If you have a car accident on the street and we see a police officer or soldier we know we can get help quickly. So uniforms have many uses. They often protect those who wear them, they make officials look important and they help people in danger to find officers.
Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.
People Uniforms Uses
Soldiers green clothes to 46 in the forest
Police officers 47 to protect them from bullets
Fire fighters 48 to protect them from heat and 49

Song Rongyao, from Shanghai’s Chongming Island used to have a steady (稳定的) job. Four years ago, she finally decided to give up her job. She did it not because she hated her job, but because her job was getting in the way of her true love. She has been interested in Chongming traditional fabric (织物), made from cotton and colored with plant dyes (染料) since she was a girl. She learned how to weave (编织) the cloth from her mother.
Before leaving her job, Song had been using her after-work time to design, sew and weave everything with her own hands. At first, the small items she made became a hit in the office. “When the things you make are liked by others, you’ll find yourself enjoying doing more and more,” Song said. Later, her name spread and she soon found that many women on the island were into handicrafts (手工艺品) like her. Her childhood playmates, friends and even strangers joined her.
A turning point came when Song and her team were having a small exhibition in a park. A crowd of people were around them to see what they were doing. Not long after that, she decided to make Chongming Traditional Fabric official. Cotton-Tree Flowers Bloom Workshop was set up in 2013. And her workshop became a place filled with happiness. By designing and making all kinds of cloth items and selling them, the women have achieved a lot and have also found their own value.
Soon, more and more women joined. Besides bringing tourists to their workshop to watch the process of making Chongming traditional fabric, Song started to give free classes to poor groups. They started Mama Moon Single Mothers’ Club, a training program for single mothers. They started Happiness on Fingertips, another program for people with disabilities.
Running the club has enabled Song, who was very shy to do something she could never do before, such as communicating with all kinds of people. Song considers the workshop as a symbol of independence and she hopes it will help more women to fight for a better life on their own.

Many people know Luzhou because Luzhou Laojiao, a kind of drink, is made here. But not everyone knows good oil paper umbrellas are made in Luzhou, too.
Fenshuiling is a small town in Luzhou. It often rains and there is lots of bamboo (竹子). So people there use it to make umbrellas.
People started to use oil paper umbrellas about 400 years ago. They were everywhere in the 1940s and 1950s. At that time, about 10,000 people in Zhuzi Street made umbrellas and lots of people came here every day to buy nice umbrellas.
Today, in a busy street of the town, people of all ages sit outside, making umbrellas with their hands. Usually, it takes about 70 steps (步骤) to make one umbrella and every umbrella needs over two weeks. After the umbrella is used 3,000 times, it still works well. The umbrella can be in water for 24 hours. Users don’t need to worry about the umbrella on windy days, either.
Bi Liufu is good at making the oil paper umbrella. His family keep making the umbrella for many years in Luzhou. He uses new ways to make the umbrella look more beautiful and now has a store online (在网上). It has about 50,000 followers (粉丝). Mr. Bi said, “For me, every umbrella is a work of art. I want more people to learn about the art and love it. I’m happy that some schools start to teach students how to make oil paper umbrellas.” Because of those umbrella makers like Mr. Bi, who keeps working hard year after year, the traditional (传统的) art comes to life again now.

As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice, but sometimes wearing them is inconvenient. However, this was not a problem for ancient Chinese people, who had a fine tool to warm their hands: hand warmers.
There is one folk story about its invention. Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty visited Jiangsu in winter. Because of the cold, a local official asked craftsmen (工匠人) to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. So, the hand warmer was created.
By the Song Dynasty, the warmers had become popular among the common people. Skills for producing the tool were widely used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many poets from this period kept a record of people using hand warmers.
In the early days, copper (铜) was generally used in the production process. It was more suitable than silver, iron and porcelain (瓷) because it could transfer (传导) heat better, while reducing the risk of breakage or corrosion (腐蚀). Inside a hand warmer, there were coals, some of which were mixed with flowers, giving off a nice smell when burned.
Ancient hand warmers had different designs. Round, square and octagonal (八角形的) shapes were typical, and there were also some fashioned shapes which looked like pumpkins, flowers and turtle shells. The patterns on the warmers would usually be animals or symbols with good meanings, such as deer, flowers or the Chinese characters for long life.

In China, the hottest days of the year are called Sanfu. Sanfu usually starts in mid-July and ends in mid-August. It has three parts—Chufu, Zhongfu, and Mofu, each about 10 days long. People have special ways to stay healthy during these hot days.
One way is using Sanfutie. It is a special bandage made from Chinese herbs (中草药). People usually put it on the back and neck. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine think it helps with coughs, asthma and arthritis (哮喘和关节炎). It’s a good way to treat (治疗) winter illnesses in summer.
When it’s really hot during Chufu, people don’t feel like eating much. But jiaozi can make them excited about food! Actually, jiaozi is an all-time classic, with 2,000 years of history. During Zhongfu, people often eat noodles. They can help people sweat (出汗) and cool down inside. Many noodle restaurants sell more noodles and even offer new dishes during this time. When Mofu comes, it starts to get a bit cooler. Eating noodles while sweating a lot can make it easy for people to get cold. So people, especially those living in North China, like to eat egg pancakes to keep healthy.
In some places like Changsha in Hunan Province, people eat chicken during Chufu. They believe it can help clear the damp (湿气). In Southern Shandong, people drink mutton soup during Sanfu. They believe mutton, which is hot by nature, can help drive away the cold inside the body.

Around the world, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a hot topic. It is believed that the origins (起源) of TCM go back more than thousands of years. Many cities have at least one acupuncture clinic (针灸门诊). What is more, some Western doctors recommend TCM for certain illnesses. They may, for example, suggest acupuncture for back pain, or a Chinese herbal tea for losing weight or sleeplessness. Within China, there are over 4,000 TCM hospitals.
In ancient times, some doctors in China realized that many illnesses had many different possible natural causes so they believed they could make the patients healthy again using natural remedies (疗法).
Perhaps the most important of these early doctors was Qin Yueren, who went from place to place to provide medical care for those in need. People thought highly of him and called him Bian Que. Much of what has been passed down through history about Bian Que has a legendary (传奇的) quality. For example, he was supposed to have been able to see through the human body, allowing him to clearly diagnose (诊断) diseases, and he was said to be able to raise the dead. He is also reported as having invented his famous medical diagnostic skills called the Four Diagnostic Methods, namely Observing, Listening, Asking and Feeling.
About 2,000 years ago, the knowledge passed on by doctors such as Bian Que was collected in Huang Di Nei Jing (《黄帝内经》). This book is the first medical text that describes blood circulation (血液循环) and the role of the heart in pumping blood (泵血).
Another famous doctor in the history of TCM is Li Shizhen, who is well-known for spending the last half of his life researching and writing a medical book called Ben Cao Gang Mu (《本草纲目》). He believed it was the duty for a doctor to treat all the patients equally and bring benefits to people. Ben Cao Gang Mu lists 1094 herbs, 444 animals and 275 mineral objects used as medicinal materials. Nowadays, this book is still a valuable classic for doctors of TCM and is considered as the most complete medical book in history.
Today, TCM is widely used in China and more than 100 other countries around the world. It should be kept in mind that TCM and Western medicine are different systems with different values and methodologies (方法论). Like Western medicine, TCM tries to prevent and treat diseases. But it is up to individuals (个人) to decide what kind of treatment is right for them.
Some facts about TCM

Psychologists (心理学家) know that children learn important life lessons when they join in sports. Some research even shows the things children learn in a team sport will directly influence how they behave in the future. What do children learn when they take part in a team sport One of the skills is how to balance competing and team work. All sports are competitions and there is always going to be a winner and a loser. But in order to win, kids shouldn’t just care about what they want for themselves. They should do what they are needed to do for the team.
Many kids understand that winning isn’t everything. A U.S. study of 26,000 children found that winning was only the tenth most important reason for playing on a team. More important reasons were feeling the excitement of playing the game, being part of the team, and developing skills. Having fun was the top reason.
The parents of kids should understand that there is something more important than winning. Sports psychologists suggest using the idea of succeeding rather than winning. Succeeding means doing your best. Doing your best is not the same as winning. An important part of “doing your best” means trying to do better than before. Bettering your own time and trying to get to your “personal best” are what everyone can enjoy. Psychologists say that excellent athletes don’t talk about winning. They talk about how they love the sport instead. Canadian Lloyd Eisner, an Olympic skater, is a good example. He remembers, when he was a kid, his parents would never force him to go to the ice rink (溜冰场) to practice. “Their opinion was, if I didn’t want to, I didn’t have to. The result was that when I did go, I knew it was my choice. I went because I loved it.”
How sports 95 children
Skills children learn in a team sport Find a 96 between competing and team work. Do what they are needed to do without 97 about what they want.
Children’s 98 for playing on the team The top one: 99 the game More important ones: feeling 100 , being part of the team and developing skills. The tenth one: being a 101
What parents should learn Use succeeding 102 of winning. Succeeding means doing your best. Lloyd’s parents never made him 103 by force, he 104 to do the sport just because of love.

Shuttlecock kicking, or Jianzi, is an important part of Chinese culture with a 2,000-year-old history. People first played it in the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty (朝代), players could do amazing tricks, like kicking the shuttlecock 500 times. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were even four famous schools in Beijing, each teaching special skills. Today, shuttlecock kicking is still one of the most popular (受欢迎的) outdoor activities not only for the young, but also for the old.

Doctors say that keeping fit isn’t just about one thing—you need to eat well, exercise often, and make good choices every day. Let’s see how we can do this!
First, food gives energy to our bodies. Try to eat different kinds of foods from four main groups: fruits and vegetables (like apples and carrots), grains (like rice or bread), dairy (like milk or cheese), and meat (like beef or mutton). Don’t eat too many sweets or salty snacks like cookies or chips between meals. Also, drink six to eight glasses of water every day. Water helps your body work better, just like oil helps a car run fast!
Next, exercise is your body’s best friend. Try to exercise at least three times a week. When you’re busy, don’t worry! You can still stay active in some ways. For example, walk to school if it’s not too far, or play outside with friends instead of watching TV all day. Even dancing to your favorite songs counts as exercise!
Finally, making healthy choices is also a part of your daily life. Stand up and walk if you sit for too long. Choose fruit instead of sweets when you feel hungry. Go to bed early so you can get 8-9 hours of sleep—this helps your mind focus on learning in class the next day.
Remember: Being healthy is not that hard! Start with small changes today—your future will thank you!

It is not too hot or too cold in autumn (秋天), so it is a good season to do sports. But what you feel is quite different from what your body feels. Your body works more slowly (缓慢地), so it is easy for you to be hurt (使受伤) when you do sports. Here is some advice (建议) for you.
Drink water. It is often very dry in autumn and your body loses water easily, so it is good to drink 500ml of water two hours before your exercise. Be careful. You cannot drink water as soon as you finish your exercise. Just do it about 15 minutes after that.
Warm up (热身) your body. Before doing sports, you have to do some warm-up activities like walking or morning exercises, to get your body ready for sports.
Have outdoor activities. It is cool outside and the air is much better, so outdoor activities like playing football, riding a bike, running and hiking are very fun. These activities can help you keep healthy, make you relaxed and help you work well.
