But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Lets read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.(1) Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition（营养）we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.(2) Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium（钙）to grow strong bones, and milk is rich in it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk, when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories（ 热 量 ）, not important nutrition.(3) Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.(4) Limit screen time. Whats screen time? Its the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.23 .

Do you see a pair of jeans? You probably do. You may be wearing a pair right now. Or you might have a jean jacket, shirt, or a pair of denim (牛仔布) shoes. Jeans are so common, and you may wonder who invented them and how the fashion took off.Jeans were invented by a German named Levi Strauss. He went to the U. S. in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell to dry goods stores. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (矿石) , they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕开) . In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans-tough denim pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.In the beginning, Levis jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldnt think of wearing jeans. Women didnt wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked tough and cool. But jeans still werent proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the U. S. , fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned jeans because of their rebel (叛逆) image. But casual clothing, including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere. Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them. They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. Thats probably why you own a pair or two, or seven, yourself.37 . Were jeans invented by an American?38 . When did Jacob and Levi make the first jeans?39 .
