Body image ﹣ the way people feel about their looks ﹣ is a big problem for many young people today．According to a study，more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet（节食），and almost one in five teenage boys are happy about their bodies and their weight．
But what's the cause？In the study，many blame（责备）the media（媒体）．Turn on the TV and you'll probably see beautiful models，handsome actors and fit sports stars．Open a magazine or a newspaper，look through the Internet，and it's usually the same．
Many young people feel pressure to look like these "perfect" people．But for most，this is just not possible．In the USA，the average（平均的）woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos，but the average model is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos．
When people don't look the way many famous people look，they may become less confident．Some stop eating properly in order to lose weight．Students can lose so much confidence that they start to stop taking part in classroom activities at school．
Body image problems don't disappear as we get older，either．In the UK，for example，women over 50 spend more money on cosmetics（化妆品）than any other age group．Older men spend a lot of money trying to avoid hair loss（损失）．
Is there a solution to the problem？A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons should be provided in schools．Others believe it's a problem that all of society needs to deal with．As Meaghan Ramsey says，"We need to judge（批判）people by what they do，not what they look like．"

Experts in nutrition（营养）suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day．They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well．They can help reduce（减少）the risk of getting ill．There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious．（1）
It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket，so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own？Here are several good reasons：
（2） You can pick and eat it at once．When you have tried it，you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket．
You may want to cut down on your "food miles" ﹣ the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen．Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth．（3）
Homegrown food is likely to be healthier．Food producers often use fertilizers（化肥）and pesticides（农药）which can end up in your food．If you grow your own，things are different．（4） You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit．These often have more of the vitamins，minerals（矿物质）and protein（蛋白质）that keep you healthy．
（5） And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony（阳台）．Some food can grow well in pots，including lettuce，tomatoes，potatoes and carrots．You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something．Just make sure there are holes for drainage（排水）and a small plate under them to catch drops of water．
Happy gardening!
| A．Best of all，you can grow your own! B．But where to grow your own is a problem． C．That's not so good for you，or for the planet． D．Food that you grow yourself is always fresh． E．If you have a large garden，growing your own is easy． F．You can control what goes on and into the food you eat． G．So it's better to eat more vegetables and fruit in our daily life． |
Everyone faces challenges in their life，but some are more important than others．Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born．And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old．
Soon after，however，he started to do an amazing thing．He started to make clicking（咔嗒）sounds with his tongue（舌头）to help him move around．Much like a bat（蝙蝠），he now moves about using sonar（声呐）．He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic．He and his group， World Access for the Blind，teach others how to use sonar．In this interview with National Geographic，Kish explains how the process works．
How does sonar work ？
"When I make a clicking sound，it makes sound waves．These waves reflect（反射）off surfaces all around and return to my ears．My brain then processes the sounds into images（图象）．It's like having a conversation with the environment．"
When you click ， what do you see in your mind ？
"Each click is like a camera flash．I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction．"
What is it like riding a bike using sonar ？
"It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus．I click up to two times per second，much more than I usually do．"
Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way ？
"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine．I have a habit of climbing anything and everything，but I never broke a bone（骨头）as a kid．"
How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar ？
"Many students are surprised how quickly results come．Seeing isn't in the eyes；it's in the mind．"
