Physical fitness is the result of many factors: good medical and gentle care, proper nutrition, enough rest and relaxation, and sensible personal habits. But these are never enough. An essential factor is regular physical activity for a body to function well.

All of us know that ordinary movements like running, jumping, and bending are made possible by muscles. Muscles also do many other things. They suck air into your lungs, push food along your digestive tract(消化管), and tighten your blood vessels to raise blood pressure when you need more pressure for an emergency. Your heart is a muscular pump(强健的泵或抽水机).

When your muscles are not used, or not used enough, they do not develop and grow properly. They soon become weak, smaller in size and lose their ability to do the jobs they were meant to do.

Recent studies showed that the average high school student spend fifteen to thirty hours a week watching television and only two hours a week in organized play or exercise. That is one reason why one-third of the 200,000 pupils tested for the President's Council on Physical Fitness failed a simple test of strength. Some of the boys and girls could not raise themselves to a sitting position without using their hands!

Cars and buses, lifts, TV and push-button machines all tend to reduce physical activity. But our bodies still need exercise. Without it they soon become weak and unattractive.

Love and Friendship

They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? ___1.____

What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. ___2. ___ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

__3.____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. ____4.____ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. ___5._____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days.
