　　Strange things happen when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones(分……区)．The time difference between two zones is one hour．You can have days with more than twenty-four hours and days with fewer than twenty- four hours．You can have weeks with more than seven days and weeks with fewer than seven days．

　　If you make a five-trip(旅行)across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋), your ship come into a different time zone every day．As you come into each zone, the time changes one hour．If you travel west, you set your watch back．If you travel east, you set it ahead(向前)．Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours．

　　If you make a trip by ship across the Pacific Ocean(太平洋), you cross the International Date Line(国际日期变更线)．This is the point where a new day begins when you cross the line, you change one full day．If you travel east, today becomes yesterday, if you travel west it is tomorrow．

　　Happiness is for everyone．You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on．Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time．

　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it．And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too．All these are your happiness．If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you．

　　Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money．

　　When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more

　　chances to challenge(挑战)yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转)door．When it closes, it also opens．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person．

　　According to Chinese medicine, the body is like a tree that lives through the seasons of nature, and it needs regular energy to stay healthy and prevent illness．The four important bodily organs need special energy in each season．We should eat special food and vegetables to protect them．

　　The liver, which enriches the blood with energy and cleans the bad things in the body, is replenished(补充)in spring time．We’d better eat onions, carrots and some vegetable leaves．

　　The heart seeks comfort and coolness from the heat in summer．Melons, pumpkin, cucumbers, tomatoes, bitter melon, and many fresh high-water vegetables have a cooling effect and should be eaten．

　　The lungs often suffer from colds, coughs, and sore throats in the dry fall season．They need to be replenished with foods such as spinach(菠菜), bananas, pears, potatoes．

　　The kidneys(肾)are the lowest organs in the body like the roots of a tree．They need protection in winter specially．Replenish the kidneys with vegetables like broccoli, green chard and some other green vegetables．

　　China began its sixth population census(人口普查)on November 11, 2010．The result was released this April．The population of China is 1339724852．

　　WHEN MIDNIGHT CAME When it came to midnight on that day, the census was begun．28-year-old Wang Yi in Jinan, began knocking on a door in an apartment building．A young man with a drowsy look opened the door．The man named Ji Wei, who had missed the poll because of business elsewhere, quickly fill out the questionnaire which had questions about name, age, job and housing condition．

　　DIFFERENCE THIS TIME　Different from the last census, the floating population this year was registered at where they actually live．Also, for the first time people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreigners in the Chinese mainland, are included in the census．But those on short-term business or sight-seeing trips will not be covered．

　　HARD BUT HELPFUL As Chinese people's privacy(隐私)grows, census takers have difficulties in getting the information they need．“In front of our compound there was a lady in her 40s selling pickles．During the preliminary poll, she refused to tell us her phone number．” said Wang Xin, a census taker in Shenyang．

　　(Xinhua reporter Wang Ying from Liaoning, Xiao Sisi from Guangdong, Yin Lijuan from Beijing, Ren Liying from Hebei and Liu Baosen from Shandong contributed to the report)

　　You may know about “ junk food” like French fries．But do you know about “junk sleep”?

　　Recently, a British survey found that electronic(电子)products in teenagers bedrooms are affecting(影响)their sleep．

　　The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16．It found that percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours sleep every day．But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours．

　　Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products．

　　“This is very worrying．” Said Dr Chris Idzikowski, a British expert, “We call it ‘junk sleep’, It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too．If you don’t get good rest, you don’t perform well in school the next day．”

　　The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst．Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, Mp4 or TV IN THEIR BEDROOM．And many of them have all three．

　　Dear Gramps,

　　I was so upset last week when somebody stole my Super Racer from the park by your house．I called up the toy company but they said they have only red, blue and green racers．Dad called Cobb's Toy Store today and found out they might have purple ones．Can we go there when I come to visit you next week? You and I were only gone for a few minutes to the shop down the street to get ice-cream and cookies．Maybe the thief was watching us．Mum was surprised when I told her the racer was stolen．She said she used to leave things at the park all the time when she was young．Once she even left her bicycle for two days near the swimming pool．

　　Tell Grandma that I like the food she made last time．Ask Grandma if we can have pancakes with sugar for breakfast when I come this time．I have packed in my towel, comb and soap．Tell her this time I won't forget to pack in my toothbrush．

Love

Toby
