1970 was World Conservation (保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world
was in danger. They hoped something could be done.
     Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 plants and flowers in Holland, but now
only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed (毁坏) by modern man and his science. We are changing
the earth, the air and the water and everything around us. We can't live without these things. If things go on
like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
     What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask "What must we do?" More and more
young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our world. For example, they plant trees. In
a small town in the USA a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people
may hear about conservation through a song called "No one's going to change our world". It was made by
Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve tigers, elephants and pandas on the
earth.

     If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers (青少年).Today, many
teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love
food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food"junk food".
     But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have
breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent
survey (调查) at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy
diet (饮食). They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat
food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
     Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day.
★ Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.

     It's different between western countries and eastern countries about how to keep healthy. Traditional
Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of cool yin and hot yang to be healthy.
     In China, herbs are the main medicine but in western countries they use tablets (药片). In China, if you
are quiet and always tired, Chinese doctors might think you have too much yin. You should eat more hot
yang food. It can give you some energy (能量). But in western countries, doctors will check (检查) your
body. They might give you some tablets to cure (治愈) your disease. People who are easily stressed out and
angry might have too much yang in there bodies. Chinese doctors believe they should eat more yin food.
     Now, people all over the world like herbs, because they think those herbs are healthy and they can help
them eat a balanced diet.
(     )1. If you are quiet and always tired, you should eat much yin food.
(     )2. In western countries, doctors will check your heart if you always feel tired.
(     )3. People around the world use different ways to stay healthy.
(     )4. You should eat less yin food if you are easily stressed out and angry.

smokers 2_________ (start) in their teens (years of a person's age from 13 to 19) or even earlier.

     Many people believe that French people are very different from Americans. This is certainly true where
eating habits are concerned (有关的)! According to a report by the World Health Organization (世卫组织),
each year French people eat four times more better than Americans. In addition, they eat more vegetables,
potatoes, grain and fish. Yet, despite (不管) the fact that they eat larger amounts of these foods, the French
take in about the same number of calories each day as Americans. French and American men consume (消耗)
about 2,500 calories each day on average. French and American women take in about 1,600 calories daily.
      How can this be? If the French are eating more of certain types of foods, shouldn't this add up to more
calories?And why are so few French people overweight compared to Americans? The answer is that
 Americans consume 18 times more refined (精制的) sugar than the French, and drink twice as much
whole milk!
      Although many Americans believe the French end up each meal with gooey (胶粘的) desserts, this just
isn't so. Except for special occasions, dessert in a typical French home consists of fresh fruit or cheese.
Many American families, on the other hand, like to end their meals with a bowl or two of ice cream or another
sweet treat.
1. Name six types of foods that French people eat more of each year than Americans.
     ______________________________________________________________________________.
2. How many calories does the average Frenchman consume each day?

     "Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some scientists say.
     Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams
are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and
over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of
trying to find an answer. Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been
thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams. Sometimes we wake up with
a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly
from memory.
     Too much dreaming can be harmful (有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is
hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
1. It may be less important to sleep than to___________________.
2. Dreams and films are usually ___________________.
3. Some people often dream about their work because
4. If we sleep too long, we will feel __________________.

     Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
     This is an old English saying. Have you heard it before? It means that we must go to bed early in the
evening and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and
clever (wise).  
     Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children need ten hours' sleep every night.
If you do not go to bed early, you cannot have enough sleep. Then you cannot think properly (适当地)
and you cannot do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
     Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We must
sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep properly, When the daylight comes, we must get
up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running, jumping,
swimming, and playing games are all exercise. If the body is not used, it becomes weak. Exercise keeps it
strong. Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. The brains (大脑)
in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise,
we can think better.
      Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we die. We must have a lot of clean, fresh air to breathe
if we want to be healthy.
