1 . Have you ever thought about what’s more important looking fashionable (时尚的) or feeling comfortable? You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: it’s more important to be healthy.
Some people believe that they need to be a cert in size to look good. So, they start extreme diets (日常饮食). They might note at meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?
Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heel make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls, Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that make it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over health?
Besides, some boys and girls spend much time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their heath. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?
So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending much time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let seat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance (外表), but by who you are as a person.

3 . ① Some people decide to stop eating meat and begin to accept a vegan (素食) diet because of health reasons. This way of eating avoids all animal products, including meat, fish, milk, eggs and even honey.
② Making the change can be a challenge for people who often have dairy and meat in their diet, according to Dena Champion, a dietitian, an expert on diet and nutrition (营养学), from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She added that starting a vegan diet could change your body in certain ways. It might even offer some health benefits.
③ Reduced body weight. Instead of high-fat proteins (高脂肪蛋白) like bacon and beef, vegans get their protein from plant-based sources such as tofu, beans, soy milk, and so on. “This can lead to losing weight. Considering that two-thirds of Americans are overweight, this can have a positive effect on body shape and health”, says Kailey Proctor, a dietitian at St. Joseph Hospital in California.
④ Improved blood sugar control. Because being overweight is a major risk for developing diabetes (糖尿病), losing weight can lower that risk. There was one study from some experts published in the magazine Nutrients in 2018. The experts chose some overweight people with no history of diabetes to switch to a vegan diet. Then they followed them for 16 weeks. Improvements and better effects are seen in those people in controlling blood sugar levels.
⑤ Reduced cancer risk. There’s also the chance to reduce your risk of developing cancer. “Vegan diets, when planned correctly, are also very high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These plant-based foods have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer.” says Proctor. We should always focus on consuming whole, fresh foods as much as possible. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients for your health.

5 . Is drinking milk the best way to get calcium (钙)? A new report says it may not be.
“Drink your milk. It’s good for you!” You’re probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk has calcium, which is necessary for keeping bones (骨骼) and teeth healthy and strong. The US government (政府) even says that students should drink one cup of milk at each meal.
However, an organization asked the government to take milk off the school lunch menu. The organization says, “Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein (蛋白质), all of which have not been so good for health.” The organization says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium, such as eating beans, broccoli and tofu. “People talk about milk because it is going to help build strong bones.” says Dr. Neal Barnard, the president of the organization, “But drinking milk may not be the best way to get the calcium your body needs.”
Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other ways to improve your bones strength, such as getting plenty of vitamin D and getting an hour’s exercise every day.
Some nutritionists (营养学家) disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans says, “I don’t think it’s wise to take this drink off the school menu.”
Marion Nestle, a teacher at New York University, says. “It’s true that milk has healthy ingredients. Other foods have the same ingredients. It’s just a kind of food. Drinking too much might be a problem.”

7 . 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.

8 . Do you love holidays but hate the increasing weight (体重) that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the food that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have small, low-fat snacks. This may help you from getting too excited before delicious food. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate. A large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat food. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

10 . Here is some advice from three doctors. If you’re in one of it, you can choose it.
Drinking hot water without anything in it is very useful, if you have a fever or have a cold. Water can make something dirty out of your body. It can also lower (降低) your blood pressure (血压). Don’t drink too much water at once, because it’s bad for your stomach. It shows you drink enough when you feel full. Mr. King |
When you cough, you can’t eat or drink something sweet like sweet milk, cakes and sugar. You should eat something light such as vegetables and fruit, and drink hot water. Don’t eat peppers. You can’t drink or eat something cold, either. They’ll make you cough worse. Drinking some hot pear water is a good way to keep you off cough. Mr. Green |
If you have a stomachache, you can’t drink wine (酒) or eat peppers. You can’t drink thick (浓的) tea, coffee and something too cold or hot. You can eat porridge or noodles and drink soup. Staying up late at night and keeping too worried may be bad for your stomach. You need to drink more water, take some medicine and take exercise to keep your stomach healthy. Mrs. Smith |
