24. Healthy Living: Reading
 Bruce is a honeybee.(1)  He’s been sick, (2) Bruce feels a bit better now. (3)

But he’s still not able to keep up with (4) the other bees where he lives in southern North Dakota.

North Dakota produces more honey than any other state in the United States.

Bruce needs to regain (7) his health. Coffee is particularly bad for Bruce. It is addictive and it stimulates acid production.  http://www.healthambition.com/negative-effects-of-coffee/

Bruce thanks (8) his doctor, who is a beetle, and promises to stop (9) living an unhealthy life style.

He also promises to drink lots of (10) water, eat a healthy diet, and exercise. Drinking water is important for maintaining good health. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water
