Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health?"Health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
⒈Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. We all know that eating fruits and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition（营养） we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruits and vegetables.
⒉Drink 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 has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk（1300 milligrams of calcium）, 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 added sugar. Sugar just adds calories, not important nutrition.
⒊Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how you 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.
⒋Limit screen time. What's screen time?It's 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 bike riding and swimming.

Hummingbirds （蜂鸟） are one of the smallest birds in the world. They are found only in America.
They are called hummingbirds because they make a humming noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. Hummingbirds are well known for their ability to move their wings fast. They can move their wings up to 70 times in a second.
Most of them are 7. 5—13 cm long. The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest at just 5 cm. The largest is the Giant Hummingbird reaching over 20 cm. Most hummingbirds weigh less than 4 grams. They eat mostly nectar （花蜜） , and they also eat insects. They need to eat at least half their body weight of food each day.
No other bird on Earth can fly like a hummingbird. They can move their wings in a circle, so they can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways and hover （盘旋） in mid air. This type of flying can be quite an exercise. That's why hummingbirds eat a lot of food each day.
Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but have very good eyesight. They can see and hear better than humans. They find their food through bright colours. They like red flowers. They are often seen flying near small flowers because they can't reach deep in larger flowers. They can visit over a thousand flowers every day.
