    For years, I fought with the "bird's nest" on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn't agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair "the mop(拖把)".

    When I got to university I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly(卷曲的)hair straightened(拉直). However, it cost me $ 700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

    But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a "curly haired" salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.

    "Do you really think this will work？"I asked.

    "No curly hair is hopeless, "she replied. "You just haven't found a way to work with it. That's all. "

    After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn't believe it：my hair looked beautiful.

    Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I'm looking better than ever but that they don't know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don't need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.

    Do you like smiling or laughing？When you laugh, you will open your mouth and show your teeth. The1those teeth are, the happier you look. Why is that？

    It's because your teeth are important in many ways. If you2them, they'll help to take care of you, too. Strong, healthy teeth help you eat the3food to help you grow. They also help you speak clearly.

    You can take care of your teeth by doing like these：

    Brush your teeth twice a day-after breakfast and4bedtime. If you can, brush before lunch or after eating sweet cakes.

    Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. You should spend some time on the teeth along the sides and in the back.

    Take your5while brushing. Spend at least 3 minutes each time you brush.

    Be sure your toothbrush is soft. Ask your parents to help you get a new toothbrush every three months.

    Brushing keeps your teeth healthy. You also need to care about6you eat and drink. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink water instead of drinks.

    Bob wanted to lose weight, so he tried to do some sports and eat healthy food every day. He didn't weigh himself for a whole year because he wanted to s      himself. After a year, he wanted to see how much weight he lost. He stepped on the scale（秤）and c      his eyes because he was scared. What if he had gained weight？After seeing the n      , he jumped up and down. He was amazed to see that he had lost 50 pounds in total.

    He wanted to reward(奖励)himself with a big m      , so he went to his favourite burger restaurant. He ordered a huge hamburger. He felt b      about it at first. Perhaps it's because he was s      trying to lose weight. But afterwards, he thought he deserved it. He ordered a large serving of fries and poured five packets of tomato sauce on it. He didn't mind-he knew that he would go back to eat healthy food the next day.

    "Why don't you apply for the job as a waiter, Bob？"said Alice.

    "Do you really think I'd have a chance？"Bob replied.

    "Of course you would, "said Alice. "You're certainly honest and reliable(可信赖的). Everyone trusts you, and you're never late. "

    "I think Tina should apply for the job as a nanny(保姆). "Bob said.

    "Yes, Tina, "Alice said. "You always work so hard and you love children. You would be perfect！"

    "I'd love to do it, "Tina said, "but the ad says they want someone experienced. I don't have any experience or qualifications(资格证书). But what about you, Alice？"

    "Yes, Alice, "Bob said. "Which job would you like？"

    "I think I should become a career advisor(择业顾问)！"said Alice.
