【推荐3】Do you know what the body mass index (BMI体重指数) is? According to the National Health Service, BMI is a way to work out if you are fit.
Some cities in China have BMI in the PE test for the high school entrance examination or zhongkao. For example, Beijing in 2021 showed that BMI became part of the PE test for zhongkao. Chengdu and Shanghai have also started doing so. BMI in cities like Xiamen, plays a role in daily PE tests.
Zhang Yanshu is a Grade 8 student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He used to be overweight (超重的). “It was this summer that I decided to work on my BMI,” Zhang said. He started by running with his dad, and soon took a stamina (体能) course which helped him with different things like running, pull-ups and so on. “I think BMI and the sports for the exam go well together. When I practice the sports, my BMI gets better; when my BMI gets better, I feel more energetic (精力充沛的) doing the sports.”
Zhang also paid much attention to his eating habit. “I ate brown rice instead of white rice, and chicken for meat most of the time,” he said. His BMI reached a normal level (正常水平) after four months of hard work. “My health and willpower (意志力) have been much better than before.”
Chen Kaifei, 14, also from Beijing said that BMI is also a problem for students who are too thin, and has caused some “figure anxiety (身材焦虑)” among students. “However, mostly I think it is good for us ,” Chen said. “Everyone knows their body and health better, and I started to care about my eating habit and lifestyle every day, just to keep my BMI at a good level.”

【推荐3】The students are having an art lesson. The teacher asks her students to draw a picture to show their thanks. Students draw their pictures carefully, and most of them are about food. But one short boy only draws a hand in his picture. The teacher is surprised at the boy’s picture. Why is there only a hand in it?
But whose hand is it? Nobody knows the answer. So the students talk about the question. “I think it must be the hand of God because he brings us food.” says one of the students. “It’s a farmer’s hand,” says another student. “Because farmers keep the chickens.” Finally, the teacher asks the short boy whose hand it is.
“It’s your hand, Miss Wang.” the short boy answers.
She now remembers that she often takes the short boy’s hand to play games. She often takes the other students’ hands, too. But it is very important(重要的) to the short boy. That is his thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is not a thing or a word. It is a kind of feeling.
