The key to staying healthy is to do regular (有规律的) exercise. Some people think exercise needs lots of hard work or planning. But it is not true. In fact, the best way to work it into our lives is by making small changes that will become part of daily life.

Teens should exercise 60 minutes or more a day. If you’re getting your body moving, you don’t have to go to the gym every day. Make exercise a habit by doing some every day. But, most of us are busy and 60 minutes a day seems like a lot of time. We can still do this by dividing (划分) it into shorter “exercise breaks”. You can get up 15 minutes early and do some exercise. Fast walk or run slowly for 15 minutes after lunch. Do the same thing after school — walk or bike home. After taking the stairs (台阶) and walking between classes during the day, you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes. While taking a lift (电梯) cannot help with exercise.

Here are some ways to help you make exercise a habit.

▲Start today: go outside for a walk.

▲Take the stairs instead of the lift.

▲Instead of taking a car or bus, walk or bike to the school.

▲Limit (限制) your time of watching TV, using the computer, or playing video games.

Today it is found that most middle school students pay little attention to sports. Is it because they have no interest in sports? It may not be the fact.

They often say they have other more important things to do. What are these important things?

Exams! They usually spend over 10 hours a day revising for exams. So many of them almost become bookworms. In the summer holidays they could hardly do anything they like. Exams stop them from going in for sports. Because of the stress from their parents and teachers, they have to work harder.

As for the students themselves, they want to get good results so that they can go further for their studies. They don’t have to put all their effort into studying and give up all the sports and hobbies. In fact, education cannot go without physical exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along a weak body.

All the students should remember: If you don’t have a strong body, you can never achieve anything, let alone(更不用说)a great success in your life.

Do you know about space vegetables? Have you ever eaten them?

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. When they are brought back to the earth, these seeds will grow into the vegetables that are healthier and more nutritious (有营养的) than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might be bad for us and could give us cancer. In fact, there is no need to worry. Here are some facts about space vegetables.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully chosen. After seeds are brought back from space, people test the vegetables to make sure that they will be safe to eat. There are no signs of radiation (辐射) after testing.

Space vegetables are better than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, one week longer than normal tomatoes.

Unlike genetically modified foods (转基因食物), space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the space vegetables, so we can eat them safely.
