Many adults see teens as energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking 1 many adults and us, too, to have the idea that if we can’t handle school or 2 life well, we’re just not trying.
But in my opinion that may not be 3 .
Earlier this school year, I was leaving my class one Friday, 4 suddenly it felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.
After a few days I stopped eating. This meant I lost 5 ; the clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began 6 loose. This time my parents got scared. 7 , I started sleeping less. My eyelids(眼皮)were constantly 8 .
I refused to 9 that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didn’t 10 any classes. When I was hurting, I didn’t mind and kept on going. 11 it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?
But now I find myself thinking. Is it 12 it? I’m taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks good 13 college applications. And I’m working 25 hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can 14 it.
Here I am, already sick from the 15 of work I’m doing in and out of school. So, what good is a(n) 16 application if I’m badly ill? What is the 17 of doing this work if I can’t enjoy the results?
In fact, by writing my 18 I’m telling all the people who 19 much about the future and worry about it now. This is my warning: Don’t climb the 20 dive if you don’t like the deep end.

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the case is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence(证据)does little to support the idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fat people do not eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查), such as a 1990 study of 3,545 London office workers, show that fatter people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group of Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men ran, the more fat they lost.
The more they ran, the more they ate.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
