As a report from the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization(联合国粮食和农业组织)says, 1.29 million square kilometres of forest, an area almost the same size of South Africa, have been lost from the Earth since 1990. Now the forest loses an area around the size of Panama every year. As the forest becomes smaller, many animals lose their home. Luckily, there are still some people doing their best to save forest. A Brazilian (巴西人) Sebastiao Salgado and his wife Lelia Salgado have spent about 20 years planting forest.

Sebastiao is one of the most famous Brazilian photographers. He traveled all over the world to take photos. When he finally came back home in Brazil in the 1990s, he was astonished - the forests were once full of wildlife. Now there are no trees here. So Sebastiao decided to do something about it. He believed that he could plant the forest together with his wife. And then his amazing dream began to come true. When they began to do that, all the birds and fish returned.

The couple brought the forest back by planting 4 million young trees. During the following 20 years. Sebastiao and his wife took care of the planted forest. 293 kinds of plants, 172 kinds of birds and other animals came back there. Sebastiao’s dream and hard work is a shining example of saving the nature. The couple show us how quickly the nature can recover(恢复) if we take action.

Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules for you.

First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you’d better eat something different.

Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you’re really thirsty(口渴), cold water is the No. 1 choice. Milk is a great drink that can give you more calcium(钙) when your body needs to grow strong bones(骨头).

Third, listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. Eating too much will not make you feel well and make you fat.

Fourth, limit(限制) screen time. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.

Fifth, be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid is to find which activity you like best. Find ways to be active every day.

Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.
