Thanks to better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century. It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are some rules for a healthy life.
Get off the sofa!
Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?
Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.
Rest while you can!
When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.
Do not worry. Be happy!
Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.

【推荐3】Public schools across the country have been on a health look since 2010. Thanks to a new law, students said goodbye to unhealthy food and hello to better eating habits in school. They also have been exercising more during the school day.
It's up to schools to decide how they follow the law. Many places require schools to provide healthy choices for lunch. In Tennessee, most schools removed（移除）sugary snacks and soft drinks from vending machines（自动贩卖机）. Instead of them, there are more nutritious（有营养的）choices, such as granola bars, nuts, water, and juice.
In Florida, Missouri, and Texas, some schools have rules that ban（禁止）desserts such as cupcakes and lollipops from parties. Instead, school officials encourage teachers and parents to provide more nutritious food.

Experts say the number of children aged 6-11 years old who were obese more than doubled from 1980 to 2012, and the number of obese young people aged 12-19 years old have increased 4 times in the same time period.
“We know that adults who are very overweight get sick more often and lose time at work.” Julia Lear, the director of the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, told WR News. “The best thing to do is to get kids in the habit of getting lots of exercise and eating healthy meals.”

Each nose is special in its own way. However, according to a study done in 2013, the shape of your nose can show a number of things about your personality (性格). The researchers studied almost 1,700 pictures of people’s noses and put them into 14 groups. They examined the nose shapes and posted their findings.
People with long noses have a strong wish to succeed in their professional (职业的) lives and are very diligent. They want things to be done perfectly and spend much time on their work. And they usually put their professional life first and their personal life second. People with shorter noses care about others and are true to friends. They value feelings more than anything else and they would rather be happy in their family than have a successful professional life. People with pointy (有尖头的) noses can give great advice on money. They usually use their money very wisely. Big nostrils (鼻孔) are a sign that someone likes to spend money rather than save it. And small nostrils show a strong belief that personal relationships and family are important.

【推荐3】From deserts and beaches to playgrounds, sand is a common sight. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource(资源).
Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless(无限的) and that we might be running out of it.
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals(矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form. But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things. That’s enough to build a 20-metre-high by 20-metre-wide wall around the equator(赤道) every year.
People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 per cent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm Islands in Dubai(迪拜) took 94 million cubic metres of sand to build.
If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine(开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats of many plants and animals.
