1 . We did a survey about health states among 200 students from No. 6 Middle School. We know that the students are short of exercise, and what’s worse, they don’t pay attention to health very much. Here is some information about it.

There were many problems on health about behaviors among middle school students. It’s necessary and important to find ways to improve students’ health condition. One available way is to do physical exercises at least an hour every day. In addition (此外), a healthy diet is also good to it. At last, the schools should take actions to cut down the heavy schoolwork of the students.

4 . Do you have healthy eating habits? Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here are some tips (建议) on healthy eating.

    1     It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits.

    2     Sometimes you eat food only because you want to eat. Your body does not really need food.

    3     You must eat breakfast. You go to bed in the evening and you don’t eat for a long time, so your body really needs food the next morning.

    4     Fruit and milk are good for you. You can have them after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t eat too much potato chips.

    5     It’s good to eat your dinner 3 hours before you go to bed, because your body needs time to digest (消化) the food you eat.

These are my ideas.

6 . Do you think many students aren’t healthy today?

Now many students know sports are good for their health.     1     Some of the students only watch them on TV. What’s more, many of them only like watching TV and playing computer games. They often say, “Playing soccer?     2     Playing basketball? Oh, it sounds difficult.”

    3     They don’t have vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes for meals. But vegetables are healthy food. They need to eat them every day.     4     They like eating hamburgers, French fries, ice-cream...

    5     Eat vegetables and play sports every day!

7 . Many people want to lose weight (减肥) by having less food for their meals. Is it helpful if you don’t have your breakfast? Does your body work well without having breakfast?

Not a long time ago, a test was given in America. People of different ages, from 12 to 83 took the test. During the test, these people had all kinds of food for their breakfast, and sometimes they had no breakfast.

The result shows that if a person eats a good breakfast, he or she will work better than the person who has no breakfast. If a student has bread, fruit, vegetables, eggs and milk for breakfast, he can learn better in class.

The result also shows that if you want to lose weight, be sure to have a big breakfast. If not, you will be so hungry that you can’t help (忍不住) eating too much for lunch or supper. Then you will put on weight instead of losing it. You will not be fat when you have a good breakfast and reduce (减少) your other meals at the same time.

8 . Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (瘾). When we eat sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a stronger effect.

“It seems that every time I study an illness, I find the sugar is the main cause,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One third of adults have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million adults have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the main reasons,” says Johnson.

Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for the time when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

It’s clear that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s very difficult to avoid. Our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even add much sugar to foods that are advertised (做广告) as what are low in fat. This may make the food appear healthier, but too much sugar may be harmful.

But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of desserts. Other schools are building facilities for students to do exercise. The battle (战斗) has not yet been lost.

9 . Do you know many students aren’t healthy?

Now many students know sports are good for their health.     1     Some of them only watch them on TV. What’s more (而且), many of them only like watching TV and playing computer games. They often say, “    2     Play basketball? Oh, it sounds difficult.”

    3     They don’t have carrots for lunch and they don’t have tomatoes for dinner. But vegetables and fruit are healthy food.     4     But they like junk food (垃圾食品).     5    

If you would like to be healthy, eat vegetables and play sports every day.
