         悬梁xuan2 liang2--------东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

悬梁刺股---孙敬/苏秦

Beberapa waktu lalu, ibuku bilang dia sedang mencari jepit rambut untuk membuat sanggul. Hmm.. jepit rambut ini bagusnya kita beli dimana ya? Oya, kita coba cari di toko online yuk! 
Wah yang mana ya yang harus aku beli. Disini ada beraneka macam jenis dan warnanya. Hmm.. oke deh aku coba pilih yang warna netral saja supaya ibuku bisa mudah mencocokan dengan warna pakaian dan tasnya nanti. Oke ini saja! Warna coklat tua dan biru tua. Ya, ibuku pasti sangat senang dengan hadiah kecil ini. 

Wah barangnya sudah datang, yuk kita bungkus kadonya supaya lebih cantik. Ibuku suka warna merah, jadi aku membeli kertas kado warna merah. Mari kita bungkus sama-sama..tada.. Sudah jadi deh! Sekarang kita simpan kado ini di tempat yang aman sampai minggu depan ya. Jangan sampai ibuku melihat hadiah ini. Supaya bisa jadi kejutan untuknya. 

Oke sekarang kita siapkan barang berikutnya. Apakah itu? Tentu saja.. kue ulang tahun! Untuk beli kue ulang tahun ini, sebaiknya kita pergi ke toko fisik. Di dekat rumahku ada toko kue dan roti. Disana ada aneka macam kue ulang tahun dengan harga yang bervariasi. Yuk kita pergi bareng-bareng dan lihat ada apa saja di sana. Wow.. di sini ada kue brownies, kue black forest, kue red velvet, kue keju atau yang biasa sering disebut cheese cake, kue tiramisu, dan masih banyak lagi. Hah Aku jadi bingung mau beli yang mana. Coba aku telepon kakakku dulu ya. 

“Halo, Kak! Ini aku sedang ada di toko kue. Kira-kira mama suka kue rasa apa ya untuk perayaan ulang tahun hari ini?” “Wah… Oke baik kalau gitu. Rasa apapun ya, asalkan tidak terkandung bahan kopi. Sip deh kalau gitu. Kita beli yang kue red velvet saja. Terima kasih. Sampai jumpa nanti. Dadah!” 

Nah, temen-temen! Sekarang kue ulang tahunnya juga sudah siap! Kita beli lilinnya juga sekalian ya. Umur ibuku tahun ini adalah 63. Jadi kita beli angka 6 dan angka 3. Oya, jangan lupa kita keluarkan hadiah yang sudah disiapkan minggu lalu. 

Oke deh, semuanya sudah siap! Terima kasih ya sudah menemaniku!

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UNA ESTUDIANTE QUE SE LLAMA VICTORIA.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Que tan bueno eras en la escuela?

2. ¿Cual era tu materia favorita?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Victoria al escribir los números en su libreta lo
pasa muy bien.

Para hacer el uno pinta una rayita de arriba
abajo en el papel y le pone después una teja.
Para hacer el dos dibuja con cuidado el cuello
de un cisne.

Para dibujar el tres pone dos montañas de pie y
sigue con sus dibujos, para hacer un cuatro primero
una cruz y después le baja un palito como una vela.


Sigue con el cinco y el seis. ¡Qué fácil es! El
seis es un círculo que no puede cerrar. Y así poquito
a poco hasta el nueve que lo pinta despacito primero
un círculo y después le añade con cuidado una cola
de gato.

Victoria ya sabe escribir todos los números.
