Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rainforests. They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food, wood, and medicine.
Destruction of the world's rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project! Myers' students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America. They paid $ 25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said. "It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano

To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal .
After tracking more than 20, 000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the UK from about 1993 to 2008, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than who didn't.
"We're known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council. "The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from. "
Study participants(参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.
"We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, " said Dr Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. "The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(埋论上地) possible. "
"Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them," Susan Jebb said. "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change. "

A. people are unaware of the harm of their bad habits
B. drinking alcohol does no harm to our health and helps us live longer
C. the government should make people change their bad habits by force

A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
B. Doing proper exercises in the morning every day.
C. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount.
D. Having a physical examination every year.
3.Which of the following can be inferred according to the passage?
A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.
B. The study observed people as well as tested specific changes.

When you travel in other places, you'd better do things as the following:
Visiting other places just like visiting the home of your friends, you have to respect the place, respect the lifestyle, respect the culture and respect the people there.
Never complain about the differences between your place and the place you are
visiting, because no place is the same. If you expect everything is the same as in your place, why do you travel? Remember, complaint won't make your trip enjoyable, just makes you look rude. And it seems that you don't know how to respect others and you don't know much about this world.
Respect and follow the culture and the lifestyle of people of other places. Don't try to apply the way people in your place do to other places. If you do so, you will only be an unwelcome visitor in that place. So, why make yourself unwelcome and look silly?
Admire the differences of other places that you are visiting. It doesn't mean losing face.
