【推荐1】Fitness trackers are damaging youngster's mental health.     1    A leading preparatory school headmaster has issued this warning. William Dunlop, head of Clayesmore Preparatory School in Dorset, said that "well-meaning" mothers and fathers are increasingly buying their children activity trackers as gifts.

    2     Therefore, they are viewed by many parents as a good way to encourage their children to exercise. But parents are buying the gadgets without necessarily considering the negative side-effects.     3    .

"You have physical as well as mental consequences," he said. "I see the early stages of that. It is not long before the competitive instinct (本能) could become quite unhealthy." Then, writing in Attain, the Independent Prep School Association's magazine, he said: "Wearable activity trackers have become steadily more mainstream over the last few years, so much so that an increasing number of children are wearing them.     4    . The trouble is that the data is very rarely used well. In fact, the way it is presented can be positively harmful."

Mr. Dunlop said that some children are "particularly easy to be influenced by obsessive (过度沉迷的) behavior in pursuit of certain goals, such as 30,000 steps a day". He said "responsible, well-meaning parents" may think they are helping their children by responding to the problem of childhood inactivity.

In fact, Mr. Dunlop says that such items are "entirely unnecessary" as in most cases,       5     The fitness trackers can lead to unpredictable risks of obsessive behavior and overwork as well as the issue of online safety, since so much data about a child's health is uploaded.

If parents really want their children to develop active lifestyle, they should encourage them to take part in sociable sporting activities, Mr. Dunlop advised.

A．because their children are already very active.

B．Parents should stop encouraging their children to wear them.

C．A new tracker designed for children over eight has been launched.

D．Used well, the data they provide can be invaluable in promoting fitness.

E．Those include contributing towards anxiety or other mental health issues.

F．By all means use these things but make sure to get them involved in sports clubs.

G．The trackers can measure data from the number of steps you take to your heart rate.

Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others. How to develop?
Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.
Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which can not only offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.
Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生)．Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.
Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept；no one else can point that out to you, or force you to compromise(妥协).
