Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动） around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain also needs blood. If we keep our body healthy and take exercise, we can think better. ( )4 . If we want to be healthy and clever, we must go to bed_______.

Last summer, 15-year-old Bob had a problem. Like a lot of children, Bob was interested in doing many things. He liked dancing most and wanted to join a dancing group. But Bob’s school didn’t have a boy s’ dancing group but a girls’ group. He tried to join the girls’ group. And he made it!
Bob thought this problem was over after he had been one of the dancers in the dancing group. But a bigger problem was just beginning. The school didn’t let Bob stay in the girls’group. “If we let Bob stay in the group,”the school said, “other boys will want to join. Soon, there won’t be any girls in the group.” They took Bob off the group.
Bob was very angry about it, so he went to a judge. The judge said it was not a right decision and told the school to let Bob go back to the dancing group.
