【推荐3】When I was 11, I looked into Dad’s lunch box and discovered that my mother still showed her love towards my father—on top of the sandwiches was a piece of paper, “Love you!” she had written on it, “Enjoy it!”

Mom wrote all kinds of messages to Dad on the paper, and he saved all of them. This has become my precious(珍贵的) memory of my parents.

It also started my own lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue (贴) little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches (素描) of our dog, Max, with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, like Einstein. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten(手写的) notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper. Because he’s very green.

We’re into the third generation (代) of lunch box notes in our home. My 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, knows his lunch is going to have a note from grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took a look at it and shouted, “Where’s grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the paper. “It’s you!”

Working Out through Online Videos

Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere.

One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym (健身房) because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said.

With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.

Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best. “Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” My sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”

At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amount (量) of work along with a strong will. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy to stick to it.

1. Working out through ________ ________ is becoming very popular today
2. Michael dislike working out at the gym because he doesn’t like ________ ________ by others.
3. The writer felt ________ and ________ about his first period of training
4. Don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try ________ ________ to work out to be healthy.
5. I’d like to follow online videos to work out because using online videos to work out is much ________ and ________.
