1 . Daniel has got used to his life. Now he tries to live more healthily.
Today, people want to do sports and exercise to keep healthy. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
“A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.”
The best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not.
“ 1 ”
No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be good for you. If an afternoon or an evening is better for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthy, then you can exercise at that time. So choose any time to exercise!
“If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.”
You must have some water when you exercise. And after exercising, you also need to have some water. If you don’t drink any water, then you may feel tired.
“Exercising every day is very important.”
Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for us. You need to give your body a day of rest.

4 . Yesterday, Danny ate lunch at a restaurant with his family. Late that night, he had food poisoning(中毒). He wanted to know how it happened.
Danny learned about a few reasons for food poisoning.
The first reason is there are bacteria(细菌)in the food. Bacteria live in a lot of food and they live in meat, eggs and seafood most often. If you cook the food in a right way, you can kill the bacteria in it.
Another reason for food poisoning is parasites(寄生虫). They often live in meat, but could sometimes live on vegetables, too. If you don’t cook the food in a right way, these parasites may start living in your body!
The third reason for food poisoning is eating the food with toxins(毒素)in it. Sometimes the food gets toxins naturally, and sometimes the toxins come from insect spray(喷雾杀虫剂). So you must wash the food carefully before you eat or cook it.
The last reason for food poisoning is allergen(过敏原). Some people are just allergic to some food, and they may feel very uncomfortable after eating it.
Danny decided to choose food carefully and cook it in a right way before he ate it in the future. That was important. He never wanted to feel this way again.

6 . The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡因)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast, Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

For example, eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating. D. Drink water in a healthy way. The water you drink helps get rid of the waste of your body.But too much is as bad as too little. Stop drinking water 30 minutes before a meal and wait for 2 hours after a meal. E. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry and need more food. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food. Stop eating before you feel full. F. Busy people always rush through their meals,forgetting to enjoy the food and feel the taste of what is in their mouths. Take time to enjoy the food and your mealtimes. G. Don’t eat too much before going to bed. Your body needs a long rest at night, including your stomach. Don’t give it too much burden (负担). |
But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it s not the best time to eat ice-cream.If you eat ice-cream when your body is hot, it may give your stomach some problems, and you may get diarrhea( 腹泻). You can eat some ice cream after you cool down or have some tea. Just try not to eat too much at a time!

9 . Do you want to keep thin and look good? Do you want to stay away from health problems? Do you have sleep problems and want to get a better sleep? Do you want to make more friends? If you do, just exercise! You may hear lots of ways to keep healthy. Here some easy-to-remember ways for you.
Eat healthily. It’s important to eat vegetables and fruit every day. It’s also a good idea to eat less sugar(糖)and drink more water.
Move more and sit less. Although about 150 minutes of exercise a week is good, experts(专家)say that any activity is better than nothing. So try to stand up more often and do more activities.
Get enough sleep. Most people need about 7-9 hours of sleep each night. If you feel tired when you do an activity, or if you need to drink coffee to make you not sleep, you may not get enough sleep. It’s not easy to get enough sleep, but it is a must for good health.
Don’t exercise by yourself. When you exercise, ask a friend to go with you. He or she can encourage(鼓励)you when you feel tired. Then you will not stop exercising halfway (中途).

10 . College students often hear about the “freshman fifteen”. What does it mean? You may wonder.
It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain (获得) in their first year of college.
Many young men and women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate (比率), how long will they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.
And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because it’s the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their own lives. They may choose to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foods high in fat. After all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just … busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax their mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with.
This may be short-lived (短暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked (忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years.
