【推荐1】Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon（碳）? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet（日常饮食）?

A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant based（基于植物的）foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.

According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.

To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion（一份）of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also found out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.

By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane（甲烷）that keeps 30 times more heat than CO₂. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.

Speaking to the Guardian（英国卫报）, Tim Benton of Chatham House（英国皇家国际事务研究所）said, “If we can give people reasonable official（官方的）advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place.”

【推荐3】When I was a child, my family was big. Our house was in the countryside, so my mother and my grandmother always planted many kinds of vegetables in our yard.

At that time, meat was a little expensive, and we didn’t have enough money to eat it every day, so if meat was on the table for dinner, it was a special dinner.

We usually ate rice, many kinds of soup and other side dishes (小菜) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every meal was the same.

I would like sweet food, and I didn’t like vegetables, like most children. But if I took some vegetables off my plate, my mother would say “Don’t do that. You can’t eat the meal without vegetables. If you really don’t want this meal because of the vegetables, don’t eat dinner”.

I didn’t have any choice (选择) . I had to eat vegetables. However, I really wanted sweet food like chocolate and ice cream, so I often bought them, but I could never buy enough because my mom didn’t give me enough money. Luckily, I like vegetables and all kinds of fruit very much now. I think I have a healthy eating habit.

【推荐1】             Maybe you should sit down before you read this. It's a little frightening. Your sitting may be killing you.

Health experts say the U.S. adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day. That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007. The news is even worse for teens. They sit eight hours each day. The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics. It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years. It is worried about what it has found.

Research shows that people who are not active can get sick. Their bones get weaker. They burn fewer calories (卡路里). That makes them more likely to put on too much weight. They might even get diabetes (糖尿病). They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems, too.

Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness. Being active helps in lots of ways. It can make you happier, burn more calories and give you more energy. It can also help you sleep better.

About 60% of people in the U.S. watch at least two hours of TV each day. That number has stayed about the same in recent years.

Computers are the biggest reason for more hours spent sitting. Computer use outside of work or school has gone up for all age groups. Now, 50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day. That is up from 29% in 2003.

About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on computers. So do 56% of kids. As many as 1 in 4 people who use computers use one for three hours or more outside of work and school.

So get up, take some breaks and go outside. You might save your life by doing outdoor activities.

【推荐1】根据短文内容，判断正（A）误（B）。

At some point in life, many people develop a mental (精神) problem.While most people get over it, for others it doesn’t go away easily.

The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness. It’s thought that it will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.

In China, the picture isn’t bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.

“The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before,” the WHO said.

A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school. For example, they experience bullying (欺凌). In a 2017 report, the centre noted that the Internet was a special source (渠道) of stress. Online, young people often see “messages about perfection” and this causes the young “great uncertainty about their futures”, says the centre.

Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don’t ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social shame. It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn’t ask for help if they developed a mental problem.

Young people who don’t ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, “If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.”

“My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within you—ask for help,” he told China Daily.

1. More and more teenagers develop a mental problem all over the world.
2. Mental illness is easy to get over.
3. Being bullied is the biggest stress that teenagers experience.
4. Many people with mental problems don’t ask for help because they are afraid of being laughed at.
5. Elaine Peng advised teenagers with mental trouble to ask for help as soon as possible.

【推荐2】Seth Johnson, 15, studies in Olathe High School in the US.     1     Two weeks after his training, Seth helped his elder sister Claire use CPR （心肺复苏术）to save their dad when he had heart attack.

    2     Hearing their dad crying, Claire ran in and helped Seth pull their dad off the sofa and lay him flat. Claire called 911 and then started CPR. She put her hands on the center of her dad’s chest.     3     She pushed on his chest 30 times, then gave two rescue breaths（人工呼吸）. After about four minutes of heavy chest compressions（胸部按压）,she was tired and Seth had to take over.     4     Mark spent five days in hospital, but has since fully recovered.

Recent studies have shown that CPR saves less than 20 percent of people in these kinds of situations.     5     And the earlier it’s given, the more successful it’s likely to be. The American Heart Association has encouraged more schools to offer CPR training.

A．But experts say it’s still worth trying.

B．That day, their father Mark suddenly felt quite sick.

C．About two minutes later, the medical workers arrived.

D．And then she began to push hard and fast about twice per second.

E．He got their CPR training this winter and paid close attention.

【推荐3】Should you see a doctor every time you’re sick? Of course not! Doctors don’t have a cure (疗法) for everything. In fact, there are many simple illnesses that are difficult for doctors to cure. Sometimes people use different “home remedies (治疗法)” for them.

The cold virus (病毒) is one example. People in many countries don’t take medicine for a cold. They make a big pot of hot chicken soup instead. They eat the soup and rest. Many people believe that chicken soup is a natural and healthy cure for a cold. And in fact it really helps: drinking a lot of water is good when you have a cold. Also, the hot soup helps you breathe better and helps your throat.

And in China, it’s common to cure a headache with an egg. You boil the egg, take off the shell and rub (揉) the egg on your face, head and neck until the egg becomes cool. Some people think this helps you sleep better, too. Rubbing with the egg relaxes you. Often headaches are because of stress, so relaxing is a great idea.

What about a fever? There are a lot of different home remedies, but an interesting home remedy uses vinegar (醋). In Russia, people rub it into the skin. Vinegar makes your skin feel cooler, and it can help lower your body temperature a little.

One of the world’s oldest home remedies is tea. You can use herbal (草药) teas for all kinds of simple stomachaches and sore throats. Some popular ingredients in home remedy teas make a sore throat feel better and help you relax.
