Overweight (超重) is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects (影响) more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What’ s worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults (成人) . If you’ re obese now, you will probably grow into an obese adult. But here’ s good news. You can fight overweight.
Change your eating habits
You are what you eat. Kids like snacks. Have you listed any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits shows that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What’ s more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No. 12, kids pick a healthy snack — fruit. So, think about your snack choice (选择) again.

【推荐1】Is drinking milk the best way to get calcium (钙)? A new report says it may not be.
“Drink your milk. It’s good for you!” You’re probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk has calcium, which is necessary for keeping bones (骨骼) and teeth healthy and strong. The US government (政府) even says that students should drink one cup of milk at each meal.
However, an organization asked the government to take milk off the school lunch menu. The organization says, “Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein (蛋白质), all of which have not been so good for health.” The organization says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium, such as eating beans, broccoli and tofu. “People talk about milk because it is going to help build strong bones.” says Dr. Neal Barnard, the president of the organization, “But drinking milk may not be the best way to get the calcium your body needs.”
Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other ways to improve your bones strength, such as getting plenty of vitamin D and getting an hour’s exercise every day.
Some nutritionists (营养学家) disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans says, “I don’t think it’s wise to take this drink off the school menu.”
Marion Nestle, a teacher at New York University, says. “It’s true that milk has healthy ingredients. Other foods have the same ingredients. It’s just a kind of food. Drinking too much might be a problem.”

【推荐2】What can be red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (辣椒). Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have ever known so far. After taking just a small part of the chili, the man had a serious headache in the following days, reported BBC News.
In fact, eating spicy food causes stomach aches and headaches. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced (影响) by something natural that produces “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.
And chilies are good for people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate (死亡率) of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10% lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14% lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk (风险) at an early age. So don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, Erik Alstrom moved to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. During his daily bike ride to work, he saw quite a lot of litter on the road.

| Dear Merry, These days, I have problems with my study. In school I can’t listen to teachers carefully because I always feel tired and sleepy. I don’t spend time with friends after class either, because I think it’s a waste(浪费)of time. I even miss writing some answers in the test. At home, I can’t get my homework done every night. My parents don’t let me stay up. So I have to get up early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I even get a bad headache. How can I solve these problems? Yours, Liu Ya |

【推荐3】American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Saturday.
Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some programs (节目) help children to understand the news, others show people and places from other countries or other time in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home.
Television brings many places and events into our homes. Some programs show crime (犯罪) and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do.

【推荐1】Chinese New Year Painting, or nianhua in Chinese, is a kind of traditional paintings to be put up on walls and windows during the Spring Festival. Its bright colors and different subjects show the Chinese great expectation (期望) for happiness and wealth (财富).
Chinese New Year Painting is an old handicraft (手工艺品). Its original (最初的) form was a picture of a door god during the Tang Dynasty. Later, more subjects such as the Kitchen God, women and babies were included. As the Chinese New Year arrives, every family puts up its New Year paintings in order to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future. One of the most famous woodblock New Year paintings comes from Yangjiabu of Shandong Province. It covers all kinds of themes and forms. They reflect people’s everyday life.
As time went by, people found New Year paintings old-fashioned. Besides, they considered(认为) the door god too scary to hang in their homes. They wanted something more artistic. So in the middle of the 1980s, the sales of New Year paintings dropped greatly.
Usually, colorful woodblock New Year paintings are produced in four steps. Firstly, artists draw a simple sketch(素描) on the paper. Secondly, they make the simple sketch on the wood board and print a few samples (样品). Thirdly, they add color to the sample. Lastly, when the preparation is finished, the printers paint color on the color board, and then put paper on the wood board and brush the paper. Then the colorful woodblock New Year paintings are produced (生产).
