25、What should healthy people look like? One hundred middle school students in Shanghai can show you the answer.

Shanghai has just picked its 100 healthier children. These children were chosen from 60, 000 school students. They are not too fat, nor too thin. They see and hear clearly. They look happy and lively. They stood out not for being top students, but for being healthier both in body and mind.

“We want children to have more healthy habits(习惯). Many children care more about homework than their health,” said Wang Zhangxiong, a Shanghai education officer.

It took five months to choose the healthiest hundred. First, students’ eyesight, hearing and teeth were checked. Then there was a hard test of their minds and bodies. On November 19, 2004, these children got together at Shanghai Weiyu Junior Middle School to tell stories about how they keep fit. Many say doing sports and having good habits are important. Hu Mushuang, 13, practices taekwondo（跆拳道） twice every week for a year. “I used to be a weak girl,” she said. “But doing taekwondo every day gives me a light body and makes me happy.” Xu Li has strong, white teeth. She is only nine years old but has already made many TV adverts（广告）for toothpaste. Xu knows good ways to keep your teeth healthy. “Have milk instead of sweets or junk food,” she said. “Brush your teeth twice every day.” Having a healthy body is not all you need.

Ni Jiaxian, a Junior 2 girl, says that making friends with boys helps one grow. “Girls shouldn’t be shy with boys,” she said. “Friendship with them makes you braver and cleverer.”

26、On the way back from work every evening, more often than not（往往） there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.

Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp(坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”

Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off(解雇). For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”

It is clear that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.

You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

C. He had a deep impression on the writer.

D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.

【3】The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because   .

A. he had collected a lot of money B. he wanted to pay her back

C. he knew what she experienced D. he wanted her to be happy

【4】 The writer learned from the story that .

A. a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy

B. each of us has been blessed all the time

C. whenever it is, we should choose to help others
