题目内容

Lots of people have hobbies. Some people collect old coins or foreign stamps; some do needlework; others spend most of their spare time on a particular sport.
A lot of people enjoy reading. But reading tastes differ widely. Some people only read newspapers or comics, some like reading novels, while others prefer books on astronomy, wildlife, or technological discoveries.
If I happen to be interested in horses or precious stones, I cannot expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. If I watch all the sports programs on TV with great pleasure, I must put up with the fact that other people find sports boring.
Is there nothing that interests us all? Is there nothing that concerns everyone—no matter who they are or where they live in the world? Yes, dear Sophie, there are questions that certainly should interest everyone. They are precisely the questions this course is about.
What is the most important thing in life? If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.
But when these basic needs have been satisfied—will there still be something that everybody needs? Philosophers think so. They believe that man cannot live by bread alone. Of course everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But there is something else—apart from that—which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.
Being interested in why we are here is not a “casual” interest like collecting stamps. People who ask such questions are taking part in a debate that has gone on as long as man has lived on this planet. How the universe, the earth, and life came into being is a bigger and more important question than who won the most gold medals in the last Olympics.

　　The keys to reaching or staying at a healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits．Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day．Note the word “activity”．As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t have to mean doing difficult exercises or going to the sports hall every day．All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobics(有氧运动), strength building, and flexibility(柔韧)exercise．Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day．

　　On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more．But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day for exercise seems like a lot of time．The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day．

　　Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy levels high．So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching(伸展)activity．Walk fast or run slowly for 15 minutes after lunch．Do the same thing after school－or walk or bike home．Add to that taking the stairs, PE class, and walking between classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes．

　　Here are five simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change：

　　1)Start today．Go outside for a walk．

　　2)Take the stairs instead of the elevator(电梯)．

　　3)Instead of driving, walk or bike to places like school or a friend’s house．

　　4)Clean your room or wash your car．It’s an exercise opportunity!

　　5)Limit your time watching TV, using the computer, or playing video games．When you do play, try the games that get you moving．
