56、in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens,
57、 is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In 18th century paintings beauty is equated (使等同) with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
58、So what do you do? Diet? Not according to Englands chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key to reduce the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart dise
59、ase as smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week.

60、y believes that physical activity that fits into peoples lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist. Professor Biddle, gyms are not maki

Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely affect normal function in unfit people. The onl
62、y people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we forget about gyms and follow some experts advice to reduce sedentary activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the r

For many parents, a constant problem in the family home is dealing with a common teenager condition: complaining. Youre probably so used to the steady stream of complaining that you may tend to ign
68、ore some of it.But dont ignore everything. A study shows that teenagers with frequent physical complaints (that cannot be explained by known physical conditions) may be at risk for despair. The study calculated 1,015 teenagers (13 16 years old) and found that teens reporting physical discomfort (i.e
69、., headaches or stomach pain) with unknown causes faced the possibility of fear attacks and major despair four years later. If you dont think these results are cause for concern, listen to this sad statistic : The suicide（自杀） rate for teenagers has increased by more than 200% over the last decade! W
70、e should all listen more in general. Parenting is more than just telling your children . Its also about listening to what they have to say and what theyre feeling. As this study suggests, seeming harmless physical complaints might be a sign of despair. And that probably is not all there that we have
71、 unnoticed in a teenagers life. As parents in a fast-paced business world, we care so little of our kids feelings though we constantly throw a few words of comforting to them, we hardly put our heart into it. Before this starts brewing (酝酿) future trouble, give some more concern to our child 76Whats

Just as we can see in the picture, a child is to throw a stone at the elephant, and the elephant holds a board, reading Ill take revenge on the person who injures me. Similar happenings often occur in our daily
78、life. Neglecting the rules in the zoo, many tourists throw such things as food, garbage, or even stone at the animals, causing injuries to the animals. Consequently some of the animals attack the tourists in return. We all know that one good turn deserves another. Vice versa, one bad turn deserves a

By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun. We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny. The newspaper
93、had been right. It was very good.After the play was over, we met some friends we hadnt seen for a long time. They wanted to go to a night clubIt had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed. By the time we got home, it was about two oclock in the morning. Im not accustomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired.When I was younger, I didnt have the money to go out for an evening like this. Now that I can afford it, I dont have the energy to really enjoy it.
