26、Lidong came on November 8 this year. It is the Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of winter.

As the weather gets colder and there is less sunlight, people are more likely to get sick. Adults in the US usually have two to four colds each year. Young children suffer from six to eight colds per year, especially in winter months, according to the American Lung Association. One of the best ways to keep healthy during winter is to stay warm.

There are many ways to stay warm. A living room should be around 18-21 C, and you can also use a hot water bottle or at least 16 C. blanket to keep warm while in bed. Getting plenty of exercise is always a good idea. Take a walk on a sunny afternoon, do a long distance run or skip rope. These things keep your blood moving and your metabolism (新陈代谢) fired up. Food gives us energy and helps to warm us from the inside. High-protein (高蛋白的) foods, like fish and meat, provide a lot of energy. Add some things to your winter dishes, such as ginger, pepper and garlic. These things can make you warm. A winter coat warms you up from the outside. Add several layers of thin clothing, for example, a shirt and a thin sweater, to stay even warmer. Clothes made from wool are usually very warm.

How to make winter days colorful? Is it too cold to play outside? Don’t worry. Here are some tips for having fun at home. Give it a try!

■ Enjoy a movie with your parents. There are a lot of choices, such as Spy Kids. You can also talk about the movie with your parents after it’s over.

■ Cook a meal with your parents. You can cook some simple dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomato. You may need your mother’s help for the first time.

■ Clean your bedroom. You need to sweep the floor, tidy your desk and make your bed. By doing this, you really help your mother a lot.

■ Read your favorite book. Reading is not only helpful for your writing ability, but can also help to build your character.

27、If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.

【1】Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.

A．he can’t read or write

B．he doesn’t use his memory

C．his parents haven’t a good memory

D．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time

【2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.

A．you can’t use them any more

B．they will become stronger

C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again

D．they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again

【3】Which of the following is TRUE ?

A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs

B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice

C．Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory

D．A good memory comes from less practice

【4】Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.

A．his own fault

B．his parents’ fault

C．his teachers’ fault

D．his grandmother’s fault
