“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.” These words of Benjamin Franklin have been backed by science. It has been proved that morning people are persistent and active. It leads to better performance, greater success, and higher standards of living. Rising up early also reduces stress because it gives you the time to squeeze in a workout before you get distracted(心烦意乱的).
Recent research has found that late sleepers generally need about 248 more calories than those who rise early. They prefer to only eat half as much fruit and vegetables and twice as much fast food as those early risers.
If you get into the habit of rising early and going to bed early you are more likely to have a better sleeping pattern.

2 . China’s top health authority（官方）put forward new guidelines（指导方针）to help people keep healthy. The guidelines, named “5125”, have some advice on keeping healthy, including daydreaming for five minutes every day and exercising each day for one hour.
People can do this by taking up a sport or joining a social group for exercising. The guidelines also suggest that people eat a different diet. According to the guidelines, people should eat 12 kinds of food every day, and 25 kinds of food in a week.
Work pressure, overeating, fewer attention spans（时间段）and sleeplessness are all health problems in our daily life today. At the meeting for starting the guidelines, Wu Tao, a scientist, said that living with bad feelings for a long time may bring many health problems, such as heart diseases and cancers. If we can’t solve them soon, they can have a huge impact（影响）on our family life, work and social life.
So, Wu suggested learning to understand one’s own feeling clearly, and practicing skills to solve feeling problems correctly. This way, it’s possible to change bad feelings into good ones.

The English people are the world’s biggest fans of fast food, while the French are the least interested in quick meals, according to a survey (调查) done last year.
The survey of thirteen countries shows 45% of the English people say they can’t give up fast food because it’s delicious. And 44% of Americans and 37% of Canadians say the same.
The French, proud of (为……而感到骄傲) their delicious and high-class cuisine, don’t like fast food. 81% of them think it is unhealthy, followed by 75% of the Japanese.
How about the Chinese? How often do you have hamburgers or fried chicken? It doesn’t matter whether (是否) you like Western fast food or Chinese food. The most important thing is to keep a balanced diet (均衡饮食).

4 . It’s hard to turn down junk food. However, eating too much is bad for your body, especially if you’re between the ages of 10 and 19. “Junk food shapes teenage brains in ways that make their ability to think, learn and remember weaker. It can also make it harder to control bad behaviors. It may even up a teen’s risk of mental (精神上的) problems,” said Amy Reichelt, a scientist at Western University, Canada.
Reichelt and two other researchers reviewed more than 100 studies about how poor food choices can make a big difference to teenage brains. They found teenagers are more sensitive (敏感的) than any other age group to foods with a lot of fat and sugar, as their brains are not yet fully formed.
Teenage brains are still developing the ability to notice risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) is the part of the brain tells us we shouldn’t eat chips all the time and helps us control ourselves. However, this part doesn’t fully develop until we are in our early 20s. At the same time, teen brains get more excited from prizes. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something happy—like eating tasty foods—are fully developed by the teen years.
As a result, the teen brain has two hits against it when it comes to refusing junk food. Reichelt and her team did an experiment using mice, whose brains develop much like our own. They discovered that “teenage” mice that had high-fat foods performed worse on memory tests than those eating normal foods.
So, what’s the best way to say no to junk food? The answer is exercise. When we exercise, the brain becomes less sensitive to food, besides this, it also helps our brains grow and become better able to make wise decisions.

6 . ① One day, you open the fridge and find some moldy(发霉的) food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn’t want to waste food. She cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?
② Most kinds of mold(霉菌) are bad for us. It can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad and it’s not safe to eat. So how do you deal with this situation?
③ If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria(细菌) can also grow along with it. It’s easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can’t grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It’s OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.
④ But some kinds of mold have good influence. Some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium(青霉菌) can be used to make many different kinds of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat and they’re quite delicious as well.

10 . Most people know how to keep their body healthy, but not many people think about how to keep their brain (大脑) healthy. Brain health is very important. It can help to make your brain work better and to stay away from some brain problems, such as strokes (中风).
Our reporter Judy is speaking to Dr. Fida Cortez, professor of psychiatry about brain health.
Dr. Cortez: We must eat healthily. One of the best ways for the brain to get energy is from whole grain foods, like bread and rice. They can keep the brain working hard for longer.
Judy: Is fat important? What kind of fat should we eat?
Dr. Cortez: The brain needs fat to work well. Fatty acids (酸) are healthy fats found in fish and nuts. Fat from fast food like hamburgers is not good for the brain; it stops the brain using the fatty acids well.
Judy: People talk about berries a lot. Are they a “super food”?
Dr. Cortez: Yes, berries are very good for the brain. Blueberries, strawberries and blackberries are full of something called antioxidants. They help the brain to stay healthy.
Judy: What about sleep?
Dr. Cortez: Sleep is important. It is difficult for your brain to work well if you haven’t had enough sleep; too much sleep is also bad. It can make you feel tired.
Judy: We know exercise is good for our bodies. Is it good for our brain?
Dr. Cortez: Yes, exercise is another good way to take care of the brain. It makes the blood move to the brain more easily and quickly.
