1 . The keys to keeping a healthy weight (体重) are regular (规律的) exercise and good eating habits. It may sound difficult to try to work them into our lives, but in fact, the best way is by making small changes. Here’s the information you need to make healthy habits easy.
Teens (青少年) should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Notice the word “activity”: as long as you’re getting your body moving, any kind of exercise will do. What’s important is that each week you get the right balance (平衡) of activity, including aerobic, strength building, and stretching exercises. Make exercise a habit by doing some of them every day.
On days when you don’t have football practice or a PE lesson, 60 minutes a day of activity seems like a lot of time for busy students. The good news is that it’s OK to take shorter “exercise breaks” during the day. So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching. Fast walk for 15 minutes at lunch. Walk or bike home after school.
Eating well doesn’t mean dieting (节食) over and over again. In fact, studies have shown that dieting often doesn’t work—and diets may have the reverse effect, with dieters putting on more weight than before they started.
One reason diets don’t work is because they can make people think of foods as “good” or “bad”, but the truth is, everything is OK in moderation (适量地). Dieters are also more likely to “give up” some foods; we may end up longing for these foods while our bodies don’t get enough (足够的) important nutrients (营养). Teens should eat all kinds of food, and there’s nothing wrong with a treat occasionally. A candy bar somehow tastes more special if we treat ourselves from time to time, not every day.
Try to come up with ways to fit exercise and healthy eating into your life in a way that works for you. We’re all different. Your best friend might like gym time better, while you enjoy walks with your dog in the park. Knowing what’s right for you will make staying at a healthy weight a lot easier!

2 . Li Meixi is a 12-year-old girl from Chengdu, Sichuan. When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries to keep away from them. “I am afraid that they think I’m out of fashion,” said Li. This is called fashion anxiety（焦虑）. It is a hot topic online. These days, many people feel worried about their clothes.
In fact, behind fashion anxiety is fashion bullying（霸凌）. Fashion magazines and advertisements（广告）sell the “newest and greatest” trends（趋势）. They tell us what to wear. If we don’t follow the trends, we may worry that people think we’re unfashionable. Also, fashion anxiety comes because we are not confident（自信的）enough.
Ideas about fashion anxiety
Do you have fashion anxiety? What do you think about it? Let’s look at how some teenagers feel.
Liu Jiawei, 14, Songyuan, Jilin
I have fashion anxiety. When I see some people wearing trendy clothes, I dare（敢）not look at them. But this doesn’t bring me much trouble. I still want to buy good-value（性价比高的）clothes. Being suitable is of great importance.
Yin Peixin, 11, Wuhan, Hubei
I love fashion. But my fashion taste is a little more traditional, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t like fashion trends like green hair and ripped（破洞的）jeans. It’s just so strange to me! I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be ashamed（羞愧的）of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way.
What is fashion?
Fashion is about comfort and feeling good. —Max Azria, US fashion designer
Fashion is everything that goes out of fashion. —Jean Cocteau, French designer
Fashion is not something that is only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. —Coco Chanel, French fashion desigher
In fact, fashion changes every season. Anyone can make it. If you can wear something with confidence, you will be the one starting a trend. Clothes just show what you look like, not who you are. What matters in inner（内心的）beauty.
