Running is becoming popular these days. Many of us run for health. Doctors say many health problems come from these bad habits: eating and drinking too much, smoking, and not taking enough exercise. Doctors tell us, “Eat and drink less, don’t smoke, and exercise more.”
Running is a good form of exercise because it helps build a strong heart. It also helps most people lose weight. One 68-year-old woman runs three times a week. “I love to eat,” she says. She runs to lose weight.
Running is good for health in other ways, too. Many runners say running keeps colds and other small health problems away. “Running is my doctor,” says one man.
Running can also help people to relax. So today men and women of all ages enjoy running.

Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What's going on?
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
Others blame good food. They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds lave piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents-their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in
It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say-not as I do.

【推荐2】You might think that drinking fruit juice is healthy. But that’s not quite true. A study (研究) shows that drinking too much juice—even 100% fruit juice—will do great harm to your health and can even make you die early.
This is because these drinks have a lot of sugar. Scientists said drinking too much fruit juice is just like drinking too much soda (汽水) —they both have a lot of sugar. Eating too much sweet food can cause many health problems, such as getting fat and heart disease. Fruit juice has vitamins (维生素), but there are very few vitamins in it.
In the study, both soda and 100% fruit juice are “sweet drinks”. Scientists found that if people get 10% or more of their energy from sweet drinks every day, they may die from heart disease or other diseases. Jean Welsh, one of the scientists in the study, told CNN, “People should drink less sweet drinks, whether soda or fruit juice.”
Does this mean that eating fruit is also unhealthy? Fruit is still fine. When you eat 100g of fruit, you’re getting less sugar than if you drink 100g of juice, because the fruit has lots of fiber (纤维). This fiber is also good for our health. It’s better to eat the whole fruit instead of fruit juice.

【推荐3】Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance or eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes(基因) and aging(老化).
Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.
Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes’ too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.
Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.
All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is .

【推荐1】Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories (卡路里).
In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona team, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.
An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.
His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, "He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. "Muniz's gym teacher added, "He is challenging the social standard. When he arrived there, no one believed in him." But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.
The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he'll be able to show off his fancy “footwork” and meet his idol, Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.
Muniz wears a prosthetic (假体的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (残奥会的) sport.

【推荐1】Probably nothing can compare with a parent’s will to protect her child. Let’s see how these animals find ways to protect their children.
| Sperm whales are emperors of the ocean. They are also the world’s biggest babysitters. The mother supports her 2 baby near the surface in order to help it to breathe until it is strong enough to swim on its own. While they are diving for food, however, their young may be unable to follow their parents. This causes a big childcare problem. The solution? A babysitter. Older whales have an active role. They may be aunts or grandmothers（who can live to 100 or more years old） and they may even be members of other families. They patiently take care of the young whales just under the surface of the water, waiting for the feeding mothers to return. |
| Elephants give new meaning to the phrase: takes a village to raise a child. “The baby has a huge group of mothers. These mothers take turns to watch over each other’s children.” They are called “allmothers”, helping the new born survive（生存） by helping its mother. With their help, the mother can get enough food and provide milk for her child. After carrying a nearly 300 pound baby for 22 months, you’d probably need some rest, too! |
| How far would you go to protect your child? Would you starve （饿死） yourself to help it survive? Female Octopuses do. An octopus lays between 50, 000 and 200, 000 eggs each time. Then, she separates the eggs into groups based on their size, shape and possibility of survival. She then spends the next two months of her life protecting them. She is so busy keeping them alive. She doesn’t even have time to feed herself-so she often ends up dying shortly after her eggs hatch （孵化）. |

【推荐2】Why do we come to school ? Most of us may say we come to school to study. But to study needs a right way, or you will waste the time or the money. The followings are the ways for studying.
The best time for reading is morning. In the morning the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason we can get good grades.

We must always ask “why”. If it is not well understood(理解), write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely(完全地).
