Everybody will have some health problems. Here are Mr. Black's problems and his doctor's advice. I hope they can help you.

Mr. Black's problems My name is David Black. I live in a small house. I never go out when the weather is cold or hot, because I am worried I'll have a cold. I don't go out often because I don't want to talk with others. I hardly exercise, but sometimes I take a walk in my garden. After I walk for a few minutes, I have to take a rest. I am always very weak and tired. I often have a headache, but I don't want to see a doctor. What should I do?

Dr. Smith's advice Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance（平衡） of yin and yang to be healthy. I think you have too much yin because you are always worried about something and you don't like going out or talking with others. I think you should eat some yang foods, like beef and you need to exercise more. Also, talking with others can make you feel relaxed. And if you don't feel very well, it's important for you to go to see a doctor. And you will feel better after you take some Chinese medicine.

Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9：50 p. m.

We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on, and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started, and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.

Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7：30 a. m.

My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly, the power （电力供应） didn't come back. After I looked out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back, so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.

Thursday, Jan. 8, 12：30 p. m.

The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last （持续） and we had nothing to do but stay at home.

Friday, Jan. 9, 6：00 p. m.

Still no power. Even though we lit （点燃） a few candles, it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles, but I had trouble reading.

Saturday, Jan. 10, 1：00 p. m.

The storm stopped this morning, and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things：bread, some fruit, more drinking water and batteries （电池） for the flashlight. On my way home, the power came back and people were very happy.

One of my least favorite chores is cleaning my bedroom, but I have to do it. If my bedroom is untidy, I find it hard to relax and impossible to do any work! My mom always says" a tidy home means a tidy mind", and I think this is true. If everything is a mess, you just can't think clearly.

Studies show that people are usually more successful if they work, study, or live in a clean and tidy environment. A study showed that a high percentage （百分率） of children with bad behavior （行为, 举止） come from messy houses. Children who grow up in dirty houses tend to be unhealthy and they fall sick more often too. This is why people with tidier homes are often healthier and more successful. My mom is a good example of this. She makes sure our home is always very clean and comfortable, so my sister and I hardly ever fall sick. Everyone loves her and she is very successful at her job in a bank.

I am not a naturally （天生的） tidy person. I sometimes throw my clothes on the floor because I am too tired to put them away, and I often leave rubbish on my desk. It is not easy to keep things clean all the time, but I am trying to develop the habit of tidying up every day. Maybe one day I will be as tidy and successful as my mom!

Thanks to Mr. Wang and the  （乘客）, the man was saved by the doctors in time.

I get a such a strong feeling of  （满意）when I see the animals get better.

The earlier kids learn to be  （独立的）, the better it is for their future.

Kate didn't think her friend was telling the t （事实） about the event.

Since I'm here, I'd like to try a  （典型的） dish of this country.

Aron tells of the  （important）of making good decisions, and of being in control of one's life.

Thank you for your （kind）, you made me have a happier life.

Now，some children have difficulty （communicate） with their parents.

My parents were （complete） shocked when they heard the bad news.

The hotel （provide） a shoe—cleaning service for guests.

Parents sometimes argue with each other about things — that's just a fact of life.

Most teenagers feel sad or afraid when their parents argue. They might think their parents don't love each other any more and that their arguments will lead to a divorce （导致离婚）. In fact, occasional （偶尔的） arguments are a sign of a healthy relationship.

①对于父母亲来讲有时候争吵或者不同意是正常的。They might disagree about important things like jobs and family decisions. They might even disagree about little things that don't seem important at all—like what's for dinner. These arguments are often over quickly. Parents may say sorry and make up, and the family returns to normal.

However, it can be stressful or even scary when your parents argue. Sometimes you might find it hard to sleep or go to school. If you really feel sad about this, talk to them about it. ②Don't talk to your parents while they are arguing. You can wait until after an argument and try to talk to them together. Explain how their fighting makes you feel.

One important thing for teenagers：If you ever see the arguments between your parents turn violent （暴力）, don't be afraid. And ask your teacher or another adult you trust for help. They will know what to do.
