My dad is an enthusiastic runner who 【小题1】 (great) influenced me when I was young. So I was very sporty before the age of 14. However, when my family moved, my new school didn't pay much attention     【小题2】   sports and had no after-school activities like football or running. Over the next few years, I stopped exercising apart from during Physical Education lessons at school. It looked like I was   【小题3】 (health); however, I was not.

One day, I was late for a bus. I tried to run after it and in less than a minute I was out of breath! This made me realize how unfit I was.【小题4】 (help) myself get in shape, I made a(n)【小题5】 (decide) that I would take up a kind of sport. A friend of 【小题6】 (I)   suggested   a   swimming   pool   close   to   my   house【小题7】she goes to a few times a week. Now I am a swimming lover.I find swimming in the pool very【小题8】 (relax). I swim for 【小题9】hour three times a week. I hope that I will soon start to feel the benefits of regular exercise, and will become【小题10】 (fit) than before.

Diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers.【小题1】, the good news is that you can feel better, look better and have more energy if you eat the right food and exercise 【小题2】(regular).

A healthy diet along with regular exercise 【小题3】(be) probably the only way to become fit. Diets are useless in the long term, yet about 20% of teenagers say they have tried going on【小题4】 diet and have been fooled into not eating meals to control their weight.

As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. Exercise is something 【小题5】can help to make you look good, feel good and keep healthy. Many teenagers are surprised to learn that when you exercise, your body produces some chemicals that make you feel 【小题6】(peace) and relaxed and increase your ability【小题7】 (concentrate) when you study.

A good amount of sleep every night is also important to your health. When you sleep, your body prepares you 【小题8】 the day to come. As a matter of fact, the 【小题9】(lose) of sleep can make you look tired.

If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much 【小题10】 (good) in no time at all!

Hand-washing 【小题1】(be)one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19. And yet, some people still fail 【小题2】 (wash)their hands effectively. However, there is one last procedure 【小题3】might save the day–how they dry their hands.

Scientist from the University of Leeds, UK, found that both paper towels 【小题4】jet air hand dryers–the two main ways people dry their hands in public toilets–can 【小题5】 (significant) reduce virus contamination(污染).But there is still a big difference between the two.

In their study, scientists contaminated the hands of participants with a harmless virus. To simulate(模拟)poorly washed hands, participants 【小题6】 (ask) not to wash them at all before either wiping them with paper towels or 【小题7】(put) them under a hand dryer. Scientists then tested surfaces that the participants touched afterward–doors, elevator buttons and phones,【小题8】example. They found that on 10 out of 11 surfaces, the contamination was much 【小题9】(heavy) after being touched by a blow-dried hand than a towel-wiped hand.

So the next time you use a public toilet, make sure you dry your hands with a paper towel, ideally after 【小题10】(second) of careful hand-washing.
