My parents have always loved everything about India,so a year ago we went on a holiday there. It's a wonderful 1 with beautiful scenes and interesting people. However,I didn't enjoy Indian 2 very much.

   On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the 3 they said ,“If you go by train,it’ll take you only two hours to get there.However,the hot 4 took over four hours. I was very 5 when we got there,so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were 6 to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.

   I said to my dad ,“I've been eating rice all the week. Can I have some meatballs please?”

   Well,they looked delicious so I ate the first one very 7 . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself 8 --my mouth was on fire!I started to cough (咳嗽) and there were tears (泪水) in my eyes. I couldn’t 9 how spicy (辛辣的) it was!

   I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the 10 in the world![2013 江苏无锡]

   Some of the factors which make our lifestyle unhealthy are as follows:

   Too much junk food is being put into our hands especially in children's hands. Junk food which is full of fat increases blood cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increases the risk of heart disease and some cancers.

   Life is full of stress. Modern life is full of trouble,deadlines. Work can be stressful,whether in an office,a factory,or a school. For many people,stress is everywhere and it has become a way of life.

   Western culture is generally dependent on medical drugs and people don't know that medical drugs’ side effects are dangerous to their health. In the world today,many people seem to think that they just want medicines and drugs to solve their health problems;they believe they can always ask medicine for help. But what they do not know is that these medications may have potential adverse reactions (潜在的不良反应) . Some drugs are harmful to your liver and do crazy things to your health;perhaps you have those little poisons without considering what they are doing to your body.

   Exposure to pollution and toxic wastes such as poisonous agents from the household items does harm to your health. Our bodies are absorbing (吸收) the harmful chemicals surrounding the environment today. It is thus imperative that we clean up our living environment as much as possible. Those regular detergents,soaps,shampoos,toothpastes and perfumes that we use today contain many chemicals which are toxic to our bodies,some even carcinogenic.

   Less exercise. Exercise always improves our health level. There is no doubt about it. But we don’t exercise enough. We are too busy.
