When most people try surfing (冲浪), they never want to stop.
Learning how to surf well takes time. You must practice hard if you want to become good. This can be difficult if you don’t live near a beach. When you do go to the beach, you must have a coach. A good coach will teach you the skills you need. For example, how to stand on the board. Don’t worry about buying expensive equipment (装备), you can always hire (租) a board.
Experienced surfers are always searching for the perfect wave and the perfect weather. They check the weather conditions in different seasons and travel from place to place. Many surfers have a favorite country for surfing.
So, why not join the surfing community and this exciting way of life? Some people think it must be a lonely sport, but this isn’t true. Surfing connects you with people from different countries and cultures. Even if you don’t travel, people will always come to you.
A. You certainly don’t have to be rich to start out in this sport. B. You also need to be fit and you should be able to swim. C. They get a special feeling that no other sport can give them. D. When the weather is bad, surfing can be dangerous. E. Hawaii is very popular with its great weather and warm waters. |

【推荐1】When my friend first suggested we should join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated (犹豫). I always believed tai chi was for old people.
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really made me interested. But after that, I found myself bored from doing the same moves over and over again. Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax myself and focus (关注) on peace of mind while doing it. With these in mind, I found my balance slowly improved and I was able to do more difficult moves. My love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
In time, I began to look into the Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that playing tai chi is to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, breathing in and breathing out. Finally, tai chi brings about body balance and mind peace.
After taking tai chi classes, however, I had to say that I had been wrong about tai chi. It was amazing! A year of practising tai chi has had a good influence on my everyday life. I sleep better at night, and I am more lively during the day. I’m sure I will continue to practise tai chi.

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.

Every year on April 7th, we’re reminded (提醒) of something: If you have health, you have hope; if you have hope, you have everything. This day is World Health Day. The day calls on (呼吁) people to care more about health.
But first of all, what is health? According to the WHO, health is about both our bodies and our emotions (情感). We all know how to get healthy. We can do exercise every day. We can eat different kinds of food. We can go to bed by 10 p.m. We can take care of ourselves when the weather changes. But that’s not enough. There is famous saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” The mental (精神的) health is very important. So try not to keep yourself too busy with study and work all the time. Try different sports and develop your own interests. For example, learning to play the guitar after homework is a good way to relax.
Such hobbies can relax your body and mind. More importantly, they make you a healthy person.

The World Health Organization(WHO) says that 80% of the world’s young people don’t get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report Was based on research done with students aged 11 to 17 in 146 different countries. The WHO has been studying activity levels of young people since 2001 and reports that not much has changed since then. The WHO says that kids should get at least an hour of exercise every day. This could include walking, running, biking and dancing. And more research is showing that exercise has many advantages. Health experts(专家) want schools and families to encourage young people to be more active. Young people should take part in sports. Exercise can be built into a school day’s activities. For many kids, walking or biking to school is one way to make that happen. Doctors say 60 minutes of exercise each day don’t need to be done all at once. They can be broken down into smaller parts, like 20 minutes, three times a day. |

We all know that running is good for our healthy. Have you ever thought that running is also good for the planet? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation.
Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden (瑞典). What is plogging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging” is created by combining the English word “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”.
A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement. After moving from a Swedish ski resort to Stockholm, Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, Eric began organizing groups to pick up rubbish while jogging, and thus “plogging” was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.
Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. There’s no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your health, and plogging will also add some extra moves like squatting (蹲下) or bending (弯曲) your body. According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.
Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer (消毒纸巾) if necessary. You can jog alone or in groups. You can do it early in the morning, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, that’s okay! You can take a walk. Anything that suits you! It really does not matter whether you take a 2-mile jog or a 5-mile marathon, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!
Every day, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging may be right for you!

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unluckily, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers (消费者) these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper advertisements. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package (包装) influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (原料) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(商标、牌子) and different size of the same brand.
Another suggestions for consumers is to buy ordinary items(商品) instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in ordinary packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising.
The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing room, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores(百货商店).
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercial (广告), but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology (心理) behind the ads. In other words, well-informed(消息灵通的) consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions. Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answer to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.

Three years ago, Bing Dwen Dwen became the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The design was chosen from 5,816 works from 38 countries and areas. Cao Xue, the chief designer of Bing Dwen Dwen, said that the idea first came from Bingtanghulu, a traditional Chinese snack. However, a simple snack couldn’t stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team tried many animals and plants and finally decided on a panda. “What can stand for China better than our national treasure?” “We don’t need to explain anything. It can be easily understood by all people from different cultures.”
However, there were already too many cartoon images of pandas. The mascot needed to be creative. Cao first decided that it should be a baby panda instead of an adult one, so its body is as long as its head.
Cao’s team looked all around the world to collect panda designs they could find. They wanted to make sure that their panda looked special. In order to look for inspiration, they visited the Wolong Nature Reserve (保护区) in Sichuan.
Now the panda in an ice shell has been made into toys and models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges and bags. People of all ages like them very much. “Design is like dancing with chains. I’m glad we performed a good dance.” said Cao.
