That was a good habit, but the problem was that Jasmine liked to take really long baths. So one day Jasmines mom said to her, “We wont have stories anymore because you spend too much time bathing. We have no time to read the stories.” This made Jasmine a little sad, because she enjoyed the stories her mother read to her before she slept, but she enjoyed bath time more, so she gave up her story time. She still get out of the bathroom until her mom ordered her to. A few days later, Jasmines mom told her, “If you stay in the bathtub (浴缸) too long youre going to turn into a fish.” That didnt sound bad to Jasmine. She thought that turning into a fish would be great because being a fish could stay in the water all the time. One night Jasmine dreamed that she really became a fish. In her dream, she was playing in the bathtub like she always did when she suddenly became smaller and smaller until she turned into a little fish. Then Jasmines mom came in to tell her that it was time to go to bed, but she didnt see Jasmine. Jasmines mom was happy. So she began to drain (使流走，放掉) the water from the bathtub, and then began to clean the bathroom. As the water started going down, Jasmine got scared. She shouted, but her mom couldnt hear her. Then Jasmine started jumping out of the water trying to catch her moms attention. But her mom had already walked out the bathroom. Jasmine cried and she woke up.

While calming myself down with soft music, I started to recall what happened in the daytime and wrote it down. The accident that gave me much thought happened on my way to the gym after work. When I walked about half way, I saw that many people surrounded something on the roadside and they were worried and shocked. I joined them and found there was a man lying on the ground. I noticed that he was a young man around 30 years old. He looked so pale and very thin. From his dressing, I simply judged that he worked in the office. The hospital ambulance came over and some nurses did the regular check for him. A nurse said that there was nothing serious with him but his body was very weak, which should be caused by overwork and less exercise. Its a really sad thing for a young person to fall down in the street. A couple of days ago, I read a magazine mentioning that there is an increasing number of businessmen and white-collar workers with unhealthy bodies. Under huge pressure, they put all their time and energy to work and cant find enough time for a good meal or a good sleep, let alone exercise. But they forget that without health, work is equivalent to zero. As I realize how important it is to put the health matter ahead, I am willing to do more exercise. I know exercise can bring me enjoyment and health. I know without health, even a most successful career and a great amount of money will lose their meanings. When I got out of the gym, I felt that every cell in my body was refreshed and I was able to have more energy to write the words above. The feeling in sweat was wonderful!6. The best title for this passage is _.A. How Much Exercise We NeedB. What Kind of Exercise Is UsefulC. Exercise Leads to My Healthy LifeD. An Accident G
