1 . You may not have heard of “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college students who are going into university (大学). A freshman is a first-year college student. “Fifteen” means fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added (增加) to a student’s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain (增加) weight; but it’s hopeful to know that freshmen don’t have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.

University kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as French fries and fried chicken with soda to drink. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.

If you’re careful, you don’t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:

Think more about what you eat.

Don’t eat desserts full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.

Try not to eat so much junk food while you study.

It’s all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.

Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!

Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat junk food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

3 . Health is very important. How can we stay healthy? Look at the three children. They’ll tell you what helps them stay healthy.

Dong Ming: What helps me stay healthy? Well, I like fruit and vegetables. I eat a lot of them. I don’t eat unhealthy snacks like chips. Chips make me fat — I hate that! I am also on the badminton team. My teacher makes me practice a lot. All that exercise helps me stay in shape!

Mary: My mom helps me stay healthy. She always makes me go to bed early on weekdays. So I feel ready for school in the morning. My mom also gives me a lot of work around the house. Sometimes I don’t like that, but I still do it all. The work keeps me busy — it’s like exercise! I like any kind of exercise.

Jim: Well, I go swimming in the summer and skating in the winter. I seldom watch television. I read books. I learn a lot in this way! I also drink a lot of milk. Milk helps bones (骨头) become strong. All these things keep me healthy and happy.

Almost every day, we talk about health. But what is health? Health means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a right weight. Let’s read the following rules.     1    .

Eat different kinds of food.     2    . Remember that we can only get what we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables. Drink water more often.     3     . We should try to drink more water every day.

Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating.     4    . If you do it often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.

    5    . Try to spend more time doing outdoor activities, such as playing basketball, walking, and swimming.

5 . Have you ever bought Genki Forest (元气森林) sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free”? It’s popular among students. The company recently apologized for a misleading advertisement.

The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”(零蔗糖), but this is not the same as “sugar-free”. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles.

In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose (果糖) and sugar alcohol (糖醇), are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweeteners (甜味剂). They offer little energy, but a small amount of them can make drinks taste sweet. That’s why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular among people who want to lose weight.

However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food. According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity (肥胖) and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). Would you like to try diet drinks now?
