• 2．I spent a fantastic day in Varanasi.And it wouldn't be wrong to say that the day was one of the best days when I felt more alive than ever，I was lost in exploration and struck by the beauty of the city.Varanasi，one of the most ancient cities of India，is located on the banks of the river Ganges，which gives it a breathtaking look.There are around 85 ghats（staircases that lead to the river），which are perfect places to walk and explore the city.
     When I reached the hotel，it was 11 am in the morning，and I was exhausted.But I didn't want to waste the day sleeping.So，I immediately took a bath，ordered food，ate it like someone who hadn't eaten for days，and then headed out for the adventure.
     Assi Ghat，one of the most famous ghats of Varanasi，was only 1.5 km from my hotel.So，I decided to walk to Assi Ghat.I found several temples，shops for various items，fast-food corners，and auto drivers looking for customers.The weather was quite fantastic as it was spring season.
     When I reached the Assi Ghat，I got my first glimpse of the river Ganges.The shiny blue water stretched under the infinite blue sky gave a brilliant look.The platform above the staircase was crowded with enthusiastic visitors and vendors（小販）selling delicious foods.Below stairs，there was a 50 m wide sandy area stretching along the length of the river，which gets filled with water in the rainy season.
     After taking a short night walk，I reached my hotel happy and satisfied.I slept early to wake timely and enjoy the sunrise in the ghats.The orange sun and its reflection on the water，the magnificent look of the city，numerous migratory birds，and chilled air helped me forget my tiredness.
  I will never forget this happy day.

     UNICEF thinks that more than 150，000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school.They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.

• 4．Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern，to which physical exercise is very important．It reduces stress and improves fitness．Exercise makes your body strong，and helps you to keep the right body weight．Sports scientists Dr．Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers： "First，you need to find out your present level of fitness．Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier．"
     Dr．Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle． "Overweight" means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem． "Inactive" mean that the person does not join in many physical activities，but is not seriously overweight． "Active" refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities，but do not have a high fitness level．
     According to Dr．Lopez，overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy． "Ride a bike，play volleyball or basketball for a while，and go for a twenty-minute walk each day．All these will help to burn calories．" Inactive teenagers should do similar activities，but add some bending and stretching exercises，such as push-ups and sit-ups，starting with twenty of each a day． "Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger，" said Dr．Lopez．The same principle applies to active teenagers．
     Dr．Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise，together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities． "These are really important in order to prevent injuries，" Dr．Lopez said．Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength．
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important？

  
  A．It can make the teenagers grow taller．
  B．It can help teenagers become healthier．
  C．It can help to burn up calories．

  A．Active people always have a high fitness level．

  C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight．
  D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyle．
  （3）In order to prevent injuries，you should do some

  exercises．

• 5．For most workers and students，Monday may be the toughest day. （1）

  Here are some tips to help you beat the Monday blues.
  Make a list
     Instead of focusing on the boring or difficult tasks that lay ahead of you，think about all the good to come.（2）

  You can start with three simple things that you are excited about for each category：at work，after work，and at the weekend.
  Get enough sleep
     （3）

  According to Harvard Medical School，"poor or not enough sleep can cause anger and stress，while healthy sleep can enhance well-being." So，if you find yourself easier to get angry than normal，sleep may be the answer.It's worth taking this into account on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.
  （4）

  
     Though this may seem of little importance，don't underestimate the power of a set of clothes.In fact，psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should choose clothes that we connect with happiness，even when feeling low.In short，what better day than a Monday to wear what makes you feel great!
  Do easier tasks.
     After a weekend of fun and relaxation，it might be best to keep Monday's schedule a little lighter than other days.This doesn't mean sitting around and buried in your sadness.It means that instead of facing the most complex task on a Monday，put some time into the easier tasks.（5）

  
  
  A.Put on the clothes you like.
  B.Pay attention to your dressing.
  C.Sleep has a huge effect on our mood.
  D.Since there is no way to skip Monday，face it bravely!
  E.List some things that you are currently looking forward to.
  F.A tight schedule of the new week can hang over you on Monday.
  G.Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.
