Dear Barbara,
How are you?Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you.I have admitted to Berkely school in California.More than 3,000 students took exams for it,but only a few was chosen and I was one of them.Therefore,my parents are not happy about it.They are strong against me going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that we will feel homesick.They can't imagine so young a girl like me live alone.They advise me to choose a university near my home instead.Then I would be able to continue living with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?
Yours Faithfully,
Jane Blair

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well,gets a lot of physical exercise,and has a healthy weight.There are a lot of discussions these days about fit kids.1.
1.Eat a variety of foods.You may have a favorite food,but the best choice is to eat a variety.
2.Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while.Some foods,such as green vegetables,are more pleasing the older you get.Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day-two fruits and three vegetables.
2.Listen to your body.What does it feel like to be full?When you're eating,notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full.Sometimes,people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating.3.
And over a period of time,overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
3.4..What’s screen time?It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs,playing video games,and using the computer.The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities,the less time available for active stuff, like basketball,bike riding and swimming.5.
These rules aren’t magic.
However,follow them most of the time and you can become a fit kid sooner or later.
A.Limit screen time.
B.If you're a kid who wants to be fit,here are three rules to live by.
C.Drink water and milk.
D.Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly.
E.Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.
F.If you eat different foods,you're more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.
G.Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
Which comes first,happiness or money?Are richer people happier?And if so,how do people get much richer?A recent study could tell you the answer.
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.
The researchers,from University College London and the University of Warwick,say that very gloomy teens,no matter how tall or smart they were,earned 10% less than their peers,while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school,college and a job interview,chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends,who are often the key to homework help or networking.
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women,Alas (the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men).And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids,is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework?The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show,after all,that more education leads to better-paid jobs,which may give us a deep thought.
"These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success,"one of the report's authors writes."But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork."
1.What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?
A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.
B. Money can make people become happier.
C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.
D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.
2.The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that_____.
A. they are easy to communicate with others
B. they are good at doing their schoolwork
C. they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
D. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
3.The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. upset B. glorious
C. happy D. wealthy
4.What can be the best title for the text?
