It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. "The day starts at dawn on my farm," he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. "Don’t be late for supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!" "OK! " my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

How to achieve a healthy lifestyle
We all know that it is good to live a healthy life. 1.（live）a healthy life means we should eat healthy food. Yet for many of us keeping a healthy lifestyle is very difficult. Part of this is because we are creatures of habit.
So if you want 2.（live）a healthy life，you have to change your habits that are not so healthy. In order to feel less tired，you have to replace your habit of sleeping only 4 hours a day with sleeping at least 6 hours a day.
Now when most people decide to live a more healthy life，they try to deal with all of their habits all at once. Take losing weight 3. example. They go on 4. quite strict diet, and yes, they do lose weight sometimes a lot of weight in a short period. But they do not really change their eating habits. So these people often notice they will gain the weight 5. and more even, once they stop the diet.
And the same holds true for these people. They start exercising in order to lose weight or to overcome a physical problem. Once the weight has been lost or the problem has been overcome, many stop 6. (exercise). It has not become a habit.
In fact, a lot of people don't look forward to 7. (create) these habits, such as eating breakfast, regular physical exercise and enough sleep. People complain these habits are so 8. (bore) and difficult to achieve that they have 9. (little) time to spend on things they like to do. So people should change their attitudes first. What if you thought of chocolate as a kind of boring food? What if you thought of physical exercise as something 10. (relax)?
My dad also taught me，by example，that a healthy lifestyle is important. He was _______ ever sick. I don't think my dad ever even had a cup of coffee. He seldom _______ alcohol.
He would say，“Bonnie, your _______ is a reflection of your overall physical wellbeing. So _______ you want to sing well, take better care of yourself.” If I became hoarse（嘶哑）or caught a cold, he didn't _______ me directly, “Well, Bonnie, you know, if you get to sleep a little earlier, that would probably be a good _______ . ”When I decided to get silent about 18 years ago, he told me, “See, Bonnie, it's so great to see you in such strong voice _______ . ”
He just did not complain（抱怨）, even when he was uncomfortable towards the end, _______ the cancer that eventually _______ his life. He simply made a __________ to be positive.
I am so glad that we had the __________to perform together. I was touched that he tried singing my music, __________ the bluesy style didn't come __________ to him. Then, when I had so much Grammy（格莱美奖） __________ with my album Nick of Time in 1990, I __________ , hey, I had one of the greatest __________ of all time in my family. I was very __________about doing The Boston Pops Shove on TV with my dad. To __________ me, he said, “Bonnie, a beautiful song is a beautiful song.

“You're going to the doctor，”your mum tells you. But why go to the doctor when you're not sick？Regular checkups（健康检查）are a good idea for kids. These visits happen when you're feeling fine and are sometimes called “well-child” visits because you're well.
It's a chance for the doctor to see that you're growing and developing normally. It's also a chance for your parents to talk with the doctor about any issues，such as safety or nutrition，so they can help you stay healthy. And it gives you a chance to ask any question you might have about your health. You might wonder when you will grow taller，for example，or if you weigh the right amount.
A checkup may start when a nurse calls you and your parents from the waiting room. He or she might start by checking your weight and height，as well as your blood pressure and maybe your temperature.
Blood pressure：This shows how hard your heart is pumping blood throughout your body.
Body temperature：Using a thermometer，the nurse can find out if your temperature is in the normal range. If it is higher，it means that you have a fever and your body is working to fight off an infection（感染）.
The nurse may check your hearing and vision. If you have trouble with either one of these，you might need to see a hearing expert or an eye doctor. Urine（尿）can tell whether something is wrong with the way a person's body is working.
All of these numbers，measurements，and test results will go into your medical record，so the doctor can look them over. Then it's time to meet the doctor.
