2 . Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc.     1    . If yes, it might be a sign that you’re addicted to your fitness tracker.

    2    . If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you’re most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.

It’s a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitness trackers.     3    . For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement.

Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcoming rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels.     4    .

Therefore, if you’re spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level.     5    . For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.

4 . What makes you cry? Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?

When you think about it, shedding tears (流泪) from your eyes is an unusual thing to do. But it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad, upset or even when we’re very happy.     1     However, the feeling is the same—your cheeks puff up (肿胀), your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face.     2     And it’s suggested that it’s women who cry more than men.

A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year.     3     Writing for the BBC, Adam Rutherford says, “according to pretty much every study done, women do cry more than men.” But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women, or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings?

    4     This can be somewhere where emotions run high—someone might be stressed, their workload might be too much. As therapist(治疗师), Joann a Cross told the BBC, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw(稻草) moment.”

But crying in the office or elsewhere can be cathartic (情感宣泄的), which can actually make you feel better.     5     Bawling(放声大哭) your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.

Thanks for your question.     1     people often say, any exercise is     2     (good) than none, but long-distance running in particular has a lot of benefits.

You are also somebody     3     worries about getting sick.     4     (run) will help you get fit and prevent diseases. It will give you good upper and lower body     5     (strengthen) .

Besides, anybody who is feeling down can go for a run to cheer themselves     8     . Even a thirty-minute run will provide relief from aches or tension that you may be suffering due to stress.

6 . Taking Care of Your Eyes

Many of us don’t pay much attention to eye care. It’s said that if you take care of your eyes, you can surely be healthy.     1     Natural eye care should be put in a number one place. There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and aging (老化).     2     If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water.     3     For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

    4     Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

    5     In a word, eye care is very important, however old a person is.

8 . Winter is often quite cold, which often makes us stay indoors more instead of heading out to exercise. Worse still, there are many viruses(病毒) doing their best to make you sick. And sneezing, coughing and nose blowing make the rooms a habitat for viruses.     1    Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick. Although it may sound terrible, there are still some things you can do to avoid viruses. Here are several simple tips to stay healthy in winters.

Wash your hands. You pick up viruses everywhere and they live on your hands, so wash your hands and do it often.     2    . But if that’s not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (消毒杀菌剂).

    3    :Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands. That’s one way viruses can get into your body.

Get the flu shot(疫苗).     4    , but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu. For example, getting the flu shot last year resulted in a 34% lower risk of coming down with the flu.

Avoid sick people.     5     Viruses spread very easily through the air, so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing, sniffling and coughing person.

9 . Here are some habits to help you enjoy a longer and better life.

Eat better. You don’t have to adopt some crazy diet or give up all sweets. Instead, try to eat a few more vegetables and fruits.     1     . A whole food is an ingredient in its natural state, one that comes in its own wrapper. While it’s even better to eat cuisine that is organic, locally grown or pesticide-free, start by shopping for groceries that require no packaging.

Check with your doctor. When you feel good, it’s easy to avoid going to the doctor. No matter how you feel, though, it’s a good idea to visit your doctor for an annual check up.     2    . In addition, depending on your age and family history, the doctor may recommend other necessary tests or screenings. For example, your doctor may also do blood tests to check your cholesterol or screen for hormonal imbalances.     3    

Keep moving. Exercise lowers blood pressure, controls our weight, strengthens our bones and muscles, reduces our risk for cancers, and improves mood. Some research also says it has the power to keep us young. Physical activities including exercises can improve our flexibility, strength and balance.     4     Just work more movement into your day.

    5    . Simply said, we are better together. Steps to build a social network include getting involved with joining a cause or volunteering for an organization or checking out a support group.

10 . Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive.     1     That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods. Besides, I only eat a little meat.     2    

    3     Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health.     4     I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.     5
