Bookshops are full of books on healthy living. A new book needs a new idea. Raymond Knott"s idea is
to organize his book like the human body with chapters on the head, eyes, chest and so on.
Knott believes that we keep healthy by having a peaceful mind. He thinks we should not get too excited
about anything. He says people cannot be happy if they are not healthy, and cannot be healthy if they are
not happy. Some readers, like this one, may not agree with this.
Knott has a lot to say about diet. One problem with the book is that he often says the same thing more
than once, so the same information on diet is given in the chapters on the skin, heart and stomach. Maybe
he does not expect people to read the book from start to finish, but only to read the chapters they are
interested in.
Knott tells us to eat very little meat. He says fruit and vegetables are much more healthy for us. In the
chapter on the mouth, he advises us not to eat much sugar, and in the chapter on the heart, he writes a lot
about how dangerous salt is. Knott is a fan of water, and thinks we should drink as much as possible to
wash away things that are bad for us. He thinks this is the way to have good skin.
In the chapter on the chest, Knott tells us to keep our lungs healthy by not smoking, and by making
them work hard. He believes that climbing stairs, steps and even mountains is very good exercise. This
exercise is also good for the heart. Knott says a lot more on exercise in the chapters on the arms and legs.
These are my favourite chapters. There are a lot of ideas for keeping fit and strong. Clear diagrams explain
the movements and they are easy to follow.
Knott believes that we can all be healthy by following his advice. I do not really agree with him. Healthy
living is very important, but not all ill-health is caused by the way we live. Sometimes our bodies are weak
and the problem is genetic, coming from our family, not from our habits. Knott does not say much about
doctors either. Going for health checks and tests is important, especially as we get older. Knott"s book has
lovely pictures and some interesting ideas, but not all of them are good.
B. Healthy diet advice
C. Organization of the book
D. Exercise advice
E. Repeated information Health and happiness advice
F. Health and happiness advice

Stopping Smoking The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places (上海市公共场所控烟条例) took effect (作用) on March 1, 2010. Smoking have been banned (禁止) in the city"s kindergartens, schools, hospitals, stadiums, public service areas, shopping malls, libraries, theaters and museums, among other places, and violators will be fined. But the public and media are not optimistic (乐观) about the implementation (实施) of the regulations. To make the regulations really effective, basic power comes from passive smokers. The aim of the regulations is to protect their health rights, and passive smokers in turn, it is hoped, will take action to safeguard those rights by applying the regulations. But few non-smokers are ready to stand up to fight against smoking because they are not confident about stopping the smokers. They understand the power of individuals (个人) is limited. If they can form nongovernmental organizations, the situation will change. I believe many individuals, including non-smokers and passive smokers, will actively take part in organized fight against smoking. To this end, when legal powers do not cover all public places, nongovernmental organizations will be an effective power in fighting against smoking. | |||

I know what you"re thinking: pizza (比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night"s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don"t have time, others think they"re "saving" calories (卡路里, 热量单位), still others just don"t like breakfast food. But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you"re trying to lose weight. "Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all," says Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year"s "SELF CHALLENGE". And even pizza can be healthy if it"s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night"s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, "You can always eat it tomorrow," I put away the leftovers, instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. | |||

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 1,300 kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holland (荷兰), but now only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed (毁灭) by modern people and their science. We are polluting earth, air, 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"s more important to ask "What must we do?" More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our earth. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conversation 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. | |||
