Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities.
Are there National Parks in England?
There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.
Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries?
Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and other activities. As a result, National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild and
beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life.
Why do visitors go to the National Parks?
There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle, following marked route, and many of the parks organize activities for families.
Are there any problems in the National Parks?
There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped (充斥) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked (堵塞) with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area.
Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular (特别的) danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage (毁坏) large areas very quickly.
How can people help?
All National Parks in England promote (倡导) the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give
pleasure to many people for a long time.
◆ Many National Parks around the world are huge in area but
59 any people.
◆ Most of the countryside in National Parks in England is used
for farming and other activities.

Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same a 70 as he and his friends. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free The Children.
Craig and his friends decided that Free The Children should r 71 money to build schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty (贫困) live b 72 .

Craig has had a lot of success. However, he stil l remembers his
unpleasant start in the seventh grade.
“We were laughed at by other kids, who said you c 75 change things,”he says. Still, Craig didn’t give up. Now he wants more kids to help. “Go to . Bring it to your teachers,”he says. “As you gain more confidence, friends will join you. It just gets easier.”

One possible version:
All kids want to be good at learning. Howeveve, it’s not easy. In my opinion, those kids who are good at learning are able to manage their time very well. They not only work hard at their subjects but also enjoy playing games. Playing also helps them learn better.
As to how kids balance learning and playing, the most important thing is to follow the rule—work while you work and play while you play. Moreover, kids should learn to work happily and relax totally.
I’m sure a good balance between learning and playing can make a great contribution to kids’growth.

In many organizations，perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team．
Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages．First of all，a group of people have more knowledge，more experience，and more skills in different fields than any single individual （个体）does．A group can work more quickly whenever the task is assigned．And a group can come up with highly creative solutions（解决办法）to problems because of the numbers of people who take part and greater resources they have．
Also，a group is more likely to make risky decisions which a single individual might not make．This is because the group spreads responsibility（责任）to all the members．And thus，if the decision turns out to be wrong，no single individual can be held accountable（负有责任的）．
Then，taking part in a group can be very rewarding for members of the team．Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about doing the work than they might do what is imposed（把……强加于）on them by others．
Last but not least，the team member has a much better change to “shine”．This is because they get more chances to have his or her
contributions and ideas not only recognized（认可），but recognized as highly important．This kind of high-recognition is because a team’s achievement or influence is much higher than the individual’s．A team can finish and achieve what the individual can’t do．And a team can reach a height which the individual can’t reach．

We spend about one-third of our lives asleep．This may sould like a lot of time，but it is not wasted．Our bodies need sleep to stay healthy．Not getting enough aleep can make us sick．
Sleep and our immune（免疫）system
The immune system protects the body fro m diseases and infections （传染）．Not getting enough sleep hurts this protective system．The Mayo Clinic is a research hospital in the United States．Its website explains that when we sleep our bodies produce proteins（蛋白质）that support sleep and help us fight infections．They add that infection-fighting antibodies（抗体）are reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep．
A new study from the University of Washington in the U．S．seems to confirm this．Dr．Nathaniel Watson was the lead writer of the study．Watson says his study shows that the immune system works best when the body gets enough sleep．For the study，Watson and his team studied 11 pairs of twins．This is an important difference from other sleep studies．Other research did not study twins．Researchers found that the twin who slept less had a weaker immune system．
Watson says his study showed for the first time that a long-term lack （缺乏）of sleep shuts down parts of the immune system．He says parts
that move white blood cells around the body are influenced．White blood cells fight infections in the body．
Watson’s study provides more evidence（证据）that sleep is important to“overall health”．And sleep is especially important to immune health．The researchers published their findings in the magazine Sleep．
How much sleep is enough?
To stay in good health，experts at the Mayo Clinic say that adults should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep．Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours．And school-aged children may need more than 10 hours of sleep a night．Experts say our sleep becomes poor in our 30s．By the time we reach our 50s，the average person has lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep．These people also have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep through the night．From middle age on，they say these problems only get worse，and they can influence our health．
Signs you may not be getting enough sleep
●You’re always hungry or you’ve gained weight．
●You have trouble making decisions．
●You have trouble remembering things．
●Your skin doesn’t look good．
●You are having trouble seeing．
