It’s one of my favorite hobbies.At my old school, I used to help my classmates. It was really fun to help with their studies. I wasn’t really a top student who always got the highest grades, but I could explain to them clearly.Now, when I’m free, I often volunteer on my town’s main street. Every weekend, other volunteers and I make a lot of dishes to feed everyone who passes by the street. There are always about 400~550 people. The long day makes me tired, but it also brings me great joy. The looks of joy on those people’s faces would make my weary day into a good day.From my volunteering, I learned that helping others doesn’t only make o thers happy but makes myself happy too. It creates great memories(回忆).

The Fox and the Grapes and The Tortoise and the Hare are two examples.Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies(仙女) and giants(巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because about 200 years ago, Brothers Grimm traveled around Germany and collected these stories before people forgot them.

Are you a morning person?Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain(脑)going?A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature rise quickly.But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning peopl e will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance(体能)is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories(卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels（血糖）from getting too high.( )46.can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.A. Morning peopleB.
