Do you want to keep thin and look good? Do you want to stay away from health problems? Do you have sleep problems and want to get a better sleep? Do you want to make more friends? If you do, just exercise! You may hear lots of ways to keep healthy. Here some easy-to-remember ways for you.

Eat healthily.       It’s important to eat vegetables and fruit every day. It’s also a good idea to eat less sugar（糖）and drink more water.

Move more and sit less. Although about 150 minutes of exercise a week is good, experts（专家）say that any activity is better than nothing. So try to stand up more often and do more activities.

Get enough sleep. Most people need about 7-9 hours of sleep each night. If you feel tired when you do an activity, or if you need to drink coffee to make you not sleep, you may not get enough sleep. It’s not easy to get enough sleep, but it is a must for good health.

Don’t exercise by yourself. When you exercise, ask a friend to go with you. He or she can encourage（鼓励）you when you feel tired. Then you will not stop exercising halfway (中途).

Young people enjoy different kinds of drinks, though they know drinks are bad for their health. What about you? What will happen to you if you only drink water?

Chris Bailey, a popular blogger (博客作者), tried this out. Here is what he has found.

First, you lose weight (体重) faster. Yeah, you do! You don’t have to exercise but just keep away from drinks for 9 days. It is the same as running for 8 kilometers a day! So write down your resolution (决心) on a piece of paper and put it on the wall. And you will see the result soon.

Sometimes when you have to stay up late for a test, a cup of tea or coffee is usually put at the side of your desk. But do you know 75 to 85 percent of your brain (大脑) is water? Nothing else! Just by drinking water, your brain can work efficiently (有效地). You may remember things quickly and well.

What’s more, water washes out something bad in your body. So drinking enough water can stop you from getting old quickly. If you want to look young and beautiful as long as possible, drink a glass of water right now! Keep on doing it for longer, and you will be surprised to touch your soft and clean skin (皮肤).

Lastly, you save money! How much money do coffee and juice cost you every week? The price of water is much lower than that of other drinks. Drink 5 glasses of water every day or visit doctors? Think about it!

So, what are you waiting for?

I am a picky (挑食的) eater. There are many kinds of food that I don’t like to eat. But there is one meal that I love very much, that is, grilled (烧烤的) cheese and tomato soup. It’s just two pieces of grilled bread with cheese in the middle and a bowl of tomato soup. But it always tastes great.

【小题1】 It means simple, easy-to-make meals that are delicious. Your parents might make meals like this for you when you are not feeling well.

【小题2】 It’s a simple soup of chicken, noodles and a few vegetables. But it is the best food on a cold day, especially if you’re sick.

【小题3】 In France, French onion soup is a popular comfort food. It is made of cheese, onion and bread in soup. In Japan, many people eat ramen noodles (拉面). And in Poland, a type of dumpling called pierogi is a simple and classic dish. They are all excellent.

【小题4】 I’m not sure. But I do know that many people enjoy noodles and dumplings. And I can say for myself that a simple meal of jiaozi or dandanmian is quite comforting.

【小题5】 Researchers say, comfort food may be bad for your waistline (腰围), but is good for your mind. A study finds that even thinking about chicken soup or chocolate can make us feel better. And those food can make us think about happy times, like childhood and family holidays.
