Do you like to exercise?
You know that exercise is good for your body. It helps you grow stronger. It can also help keep your heart and other important organs in excellent shape. But can it make you smarter?
Maybe! The work you do at school every day is like exercise for your brain. Learning and thinking can help you become smarter.
Some researchers point out that exercise stimulates the body’s nervous system, causing it to release chemicals that make us feel happy and calm. This helps to explain why many people feel more alive and active after exercising.
Others point to studies that show that exercise can stimulate the growth of new brain cells. As your brain gets bigger, the areas in connection with memory and learning get bigger and brain function improves.
Exercise is good for your body in so many ways, so include as much exercise as you can into your daily or weekly routine.

Fear of Puberty(青春期)
When young people get to puberty, it causes the physical and mental changes that can bring stress and even fear to them.
Consider how often you worry about it. If it regularly happens more than twice a day, it’s time that you started taking the problem seriously. You should look out for feelings of panic when you think about puberty. You may have frequent stressful dreams or feel depressed when you notice changes in your body.
Apart from these, some teenagers worry about putting on weight or feel discomfort with how people treat them or feel their body doesn’t fit them. Remember that this fat is usually temporary.
Besides parents, teachers and school medical staff, there are a number of other places where you can seek help.
You are not alone in your feelings. There are ways to deal with many of the specific problems puberty can cause. The sooner you seek help, the sooner it will get better.
A.Get into the habit of focusing yourself. |
B.You should know the source of your stress. |
C.These feelings shouldn’t be a cause of worry. |
D.You may feel miserable at the passing of childhood. |
E.Exercise and healthy eating will help you get rid of it sooner. |
F.You can turn to Childline at any time of the day or night. |
G.Knowing your feelings better can make it easier to deal with them. |
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
