The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors(年长者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs?
·Finding:Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

Jay Kohl, an American student, posted an online advertisement two weeks ago searching for a Chinese family to stay with so that he can learn the language and culture.
“I’m a clean, non-smoking, and warm-hearted American man looking for a homestay in the Wudaokou area to improve my Chinese language skills,” he wrote. “I’m willing to offer help with English tutoring(家教) and even can help you with applying to foreign universities.”
He still hasn’t found a suitable home.
“Most of the families that contacted me seem to be interested in doing business instead of cultural exchange,” he said. “I think I might have to rent an apartment in the end.”
Kohl isn’t the only foreigner finding it difficult to find a homestay in Beijing. Michael Benson, who wants to come to Beijing in September, has also faced the same problems.
Why is finding a homestay family so difficult? Beijing Today consulted a Chinese teacher, Jessie Xi, who has been teaching foreign students at the University of International Business and Economics for more than six years.
Xi has accepted many homestays, and from her own experience and what she’s been told, she said there were four major problems visitors may meet when applying for homestays.
Problem 1: Having too high expectation for language improvement.
Problem 2: Considering oneself as a guest instead of a family member.

People mountain people sea? Yes, this means too many people at a place. This is a photo taken in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen’s fast development has made it become China’s most crowded city! There are about 15 million people living on its 1,991 square kilometres. On average (平均) 7,500 people live on each square kilometre. It is 1,080 more than that in Hong Kong, and nearly 800 more than that in Guangzhou.

A 14-year-old British student is packing for the next day of school: textbooks, notebooks, pens, 250 grams of flour, an egg and some cooking oil. Wait, what? It’s not a joke.
From September, cookery will be a compulsory (必修的) course for kids aged 7-14 in the UK. Primary school students will learn how to put things together and make simple, healthy food. At high school, students will then master a number of different meals. They will also learn some cooking skills including baking.
Britain is sometimes known as a country with bad food and unhealthy eating habits. These new courses are part of the country’s effort to bring healthy food back onto the table.
“One in four British families no longer has a table that everyone can eat around.  One out of every two meals we eat is eaten alone. Only four out of ten of us enjoy eating meals with our children,” British writer Joanna Blythman wrote in her book Bad Food Britain: How A Nation Ruined Its Appetite in 2006. Instead, ready meals have become the first choice for many British kids, because their parents are often too busy to cook a proper meal.
“It’s important that children can develop an interest and understanding of good food,” said a spokesman of the Department for Education. “We want to encourage them to develop a love of food and cooking that will stay with them as they grow up.
【小题1】What are high school students in UK supposed to learn about cookery?
【小题2】Is UK famous for its delicious food?
【小题3】How many British people of all enjoy eating meals with their children according to Joanna Blythman?
【小题4】Why have ready meals become very popular with many British kids?
【小题5】What’s aim of the cookery course in UK?

On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are stricter than the old ones.

There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.
Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加强) the rules for school buses.

At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon(优惠券)if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books , magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
"It's been such a surprise," said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. "It has given us one more motivation to finish our food."
The measure is part of a national "eat-up" campaign (行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园)。
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均) .The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country." The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food.  We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle, said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
"I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the ' eat-up' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses. " said Tao.
【小题1】 The underlined word " motivation" in Paragraph 2 means__________in Chinese.

A.动力B.机会
C.试验D.条件

请阅读一篇短文,根据所提供的信息,完成下面的表格。
In the modern society, the traffic problem has become more and more serious, which has aroused(引起) wide public concern(关心), especially in the rush hour , at some time or other, people would rather walk on the street than drive the car, and the line people waiting for the bus can be as long as 10 meters. Because a great number of office workers go to work and go off work at the same time, most private cars and buses are on the roads at the same time, which of course leads to traffic jams(交通堵塞).
But how to solve it? As far as I’m concerned, for one thing, the government should build more roads to meet the needs of cars; for another, we should call for people to take a bus instead of driving their own cars. At times, we can also ride bikes to go to work or visit somewhere. Not only do we strengthen ourselves in this way, but also we protect the environment. In a word ,if all of us take actions to solve it, I believe there will not be a word named traffic jam .
