Sometimes it seems that eating a healthy diet(饮食), getting enough exercise or finding the time to enjoy yourself is impossible. But learning to live a healthier lifestyle is easy when you change one small thing at a time. Follow Rosalind Ryan’s advice and you'll soon be full of ideas.
·Eat beet(甜菜) more
It sounds strange, but doctors say drinking 500ml of beetroot juice could lower blood pressure(血压) after just one hour. So drink up the pink juice.
·Think outside the box
In our life we probably spend 17 years on the sofa, and 7 years on watching TV. Next time you hear yourself say, “I haven’t got time to go to the gym”, don’t find this excuse but do something healthy instead.
·Hug your friend
Giving your friend a hug doesn’t just warm the heart; it can protect it too. A study found that hugging your friend for 20 seconds could let the blood pressure down and make you happy.
·Eat less salt
We eat around 9.5g of salt a day; but the government wants us to cut this to no more than 6g, as high levels of salt can increase your blood pressure.

【推荐2】If you go to a fast-food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eating unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a right meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over 2/3 of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and they didn’t like to eat fruit. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血压）in the future.
★ Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.
★ Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.
★ Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.
1. “Junk food” contains（包含）a lot of ________.| A．milk and sugar |

【推荐3】The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty after playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful of what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for our health. There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

【推荐1】China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (导航网络), the other three being GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.
As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?
The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO (中轨道). In addition to the 24 satellites, China’s new global navigation satellite system BeiDou-3 also has three satellites in GEO (地球静止同步轨道) and three in IGSO (倾斜地球同步轨道). What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.
BDS has another advantage the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas. With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.
As the most populous country in the world, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development.
In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% annual growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.

Camping was the most popular way of traveling during the recent five-day May Day holiday, especially among the younger generation, according to Chinese tourism website Mafengwo.
The search for camping on the website increased most in Sichuan province and Chongqing, where many people looked for camping road trips and beautiful natural views. People preferred local and short tours due to the country’s COVID-19 controls. While those in Guangdong province took their favorite snacks to campsites (营地), mountain views and landscapes were most attractive to travelers in Guizhou province. Both youth and those traveling with children regarded camping as a way to feel nature and enjoyed outdoor activities such as cycling and paddle boarding, and they liked to visit the Gobi Desert and the sea better. Preferred destinations ranged from the Gobi Desert to the sea.
The most popular routes during the holiday were Sichuan and Tibet of the National Highway 318, Hulunbuir Grassland and Hainan Island. Five-star hotels also offered lower prices and special experiences to local travelers during the holiday, such as cooking. Feng Rao, head of Mafengwo’s Tourism Research Institute, said that young people are more willing to pay for such special experiences. They are more interested in choosing local hotels.

【推荐2】Having a roommate (室友) can be one of the best experiences at school, or, easily, one of the worst. In order to have a good relationship with your roommate, please follow these suggestions to avoid the common mistakes.
Talk things out. Communication is the key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommates have a bad relationship because something happens and, instead of talking to each other, the two start talking about their roommates behind their backs. This will create embarrassing situations and unhappiness.
Don’t spread rumors. If you hear something bad about your roommate, find a proper way of asking him or her about it by yourself. If you’re not sure how to talk to him or her about it, ask a trusted friend for advice.
Return the care. Good roommates should care about each other when you’re in trouble. And you should listen patiently when your roommate shares a problem with you. Be sure you are as helpful as your roommate, because he or she will take notice and feel good.
Ask before you take. If you want to keep a good relationship, show your roommate that you have respect (尊重) for what is his or hers by asking first, such as food, clothes and anything else. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.
Clean up after yourself. This should go without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t throw your clothes and rubbish everywhere. Some people I’ve seen at school are messy like that. You don’t need to clean your room and keep it tidy all the time. But you should think about how your roommate feels.
