During this special festival holiday in China, everyone will wish you a great health and a lot of happiness. It’s so happy to get together with families and friends. Food is everywhere, whether family events or dinner parties. Having big meals so many days will make you unhealthy. Nothing is more important than the health. How can you get both of them?

Plan your day in the morning and think about some healthy food you want to eat. If you are going out for lunch or dinner, watch the menu (菜单) ahead of time so you can get an idea of what you may order.

Eat healthily most of the time. The holiday is about enjoying. But to your favorite foods, my suggestion is not eating them all at once. Plan for one treat a day and this way you will have something to hope for.

Drink more water. Water can clean your body. You can also get water from fruits, vegetables and soup. Keep away from cola and coffee. I suggest keeping a water bottle in your case.

【推荐1】Body image, the way people feel about their looks, is a big problem for many young people today. According to a study, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet and almost one in five teenage boys are worried about their bodies and their weight. It seems that they don’t care about their health so much.

But what causes this problem? In the study, many blame the media. Turn on the TV and you’ll always see beautiful models, handsome actors and fit sports stars. Open a magazine or a newspaper, look through the Internet, and it’s usually the same.

In the USA, the average woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, but the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos. Many young people feel pressure to look like these “perfect” people. But for most, this is just not possible so they begin to become less confident. As a result, some stop eating healthily in order to lose weight. Students who lose so much confidence used to take part in classroom activities at school, but they don’t now.

Is there a solution to the problem? In 2019, a study in the UK advised that body image lessons should be provided in schools. Others believe it’s a problem that all of society needs to deal with. As Meaghan Ramsey says, “We need to judge（评判）people by what they do, not what they look like.”

1. What does the study on teenagers show us?

A．More than 50% of young girls want to eat healthily.

B．Most of the teenage boys do sports to keep fit.

C．Teenagers care too much about their appearance.

2. According to the study, what are likely to cause the problem?

【推荐2】According to a study, kids spent three fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the 2010s than kids did in the 1980s. In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.

Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative.

Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance(平衡). It also helps you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.

Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate(集中精力) and lowers their stress levels.

Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside. _________. It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.

So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.

【推荐3】Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish.     1     But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something.“Running any kind of family is teamwork,” Walton says.“A home is a living place for everyone in the family.     2    ”

Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what they need to do to make money. There are also apps(应用软件) now.     3     Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. “We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards,” one man says.
