Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice（建议） on healthy eating:

    Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

    Listen to your body:  Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty- sometimes you are just thirsty: you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

    Eat breakfast:  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

    Eat healthy snacks like fruits or cheese:  We need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

   Don’t eat dinner late: With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last moment. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest (消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.

In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the USA, went on hunting. The hunting dogs found and old bear in the forest near Washington D.C. and the guide asked the president to shoot(射杀) it. But President Roosevelt disagreed. A cartoonist(漫画家) drew a cartoon showing that the president refused(拒绝) to shoot the bear. Soon, the bear began to appear in other newspapers. People named the bear Teddy which was Theodore’s nickname(昵称).

In 1913, a captain named Harry Colebourn paid 20 dollars for a black bear which was born in the Canadian countryside. The captain’s hometown, Winnipeg, was the origin(起源) of the bear’s name.

You’re different from the others!

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch（痒） on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.
