Easy way to get healthy
I always hate the first few weeks of the New Year, mostly because people all say, “Let’s diet! It’s a new year！“
You can always choose to switch it up! Here are some simple ways to get your health on all year round.
Switch out bad habits for good ones. Do something as simple as swapping nighttime cookies for nighttime vitamins.
Catch some sleep. One of the most important things we can do for our minds and bodies is to make sure we’re getting enough sleep on a regular schedule.
Feed your mind. Keep your mind smart. Start a new hobby, read a book about something you don’t understand— and so on. I’m not suggesting you take on a new sport. But taking the stairs, parking farther away, and finding a hobby you enjoy will allow you to be active.
Get organized. I’m not saying a whole repair of your entire world; start small. Organize a kitchen cabinet. Purge(清除) yourself of stuff you don’t need.
Get rid of the mess. That means your mind is included too! Make lists. Get a calendar and mark down important days. Clear your mind and your home. .
Smile. Overlook some of the bad things that are going on in your life, and focus on the good. Staying positive can help in nearly every aspect of your life!
Chang your activity.
| A．Change your activity up. |
| B．Try exercising your brain too. |
| C．You’ll find it improves your mood. |
| D．You are the one to improve yourself. |
E. It’s time to take charge of your health!
F. Sounds boring, I know, but trust me—sleep is amazing for you.
G. Smart small, and don’t plan to change your entire life in a week.
Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruelThey’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.
There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off.
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.
But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition.Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad
| A．Be open to new things, new experiences, new people. |
| B．It's a journey. |
| C．Life is full of love |
| D．Last, think that you are a wonderful human being. |
E. Finally, know that I love you and always will.
F. There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.
G. Love should be your rule

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．The spreading tea
B．The history of tea growing
C．Changes of tastes for drinks
D．Reducing cancer risks
E．The plant Camellia Sinensis
F．A woman’s opinion of tea______
Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20 years ago. Witness the Starbucks revolution and you’ll know where the trend goes. Now, encouraged by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar change. Enough fashionable tea houses are springing up to make even longtime coffee drinkers consider switching drinks.______
Tea is available in more places than ever. The Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $ 4.6 billion from $ 1.8 billion. “Green tea is seen by consumers as a ‘functional food’”—delivering health benefits beyond food itself, says Vierhile.______
Recently published studies point out that only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia Sinensis have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas may taste good, yet they do little more than warm up the drinker. But for Camellia Sinensis, the evidence is powerful. In a 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent compared with nontea drinkers, and others studies have suggested that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in these socalled real teas can also prevent cancer.______
One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times as powerful as vitamin C. “When people ask me for something good and cheap they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them to drink real tea，” says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City’s Strange－Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.______
Among those inspired to become a green tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer who took it up after seeking advice from a nutritionist six years ago. “I’ve never been a coffee drinker，” says Ghilaga, 33. “She told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant qualities.” Now Ghilaga and her husband habitually make tea—they order theirs from In Pursuit of Tea.com, an Internet tea company. And although tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, “you still get such a kick from it，” says Ghilaga.

Are you simply moving through your day without fully living? I think many of us have done this. Everyone wants to fully live every day. So I’ve decided to share with you some ways to help you enjoy every moment.
Sit in the morning. When you wake up, in the quiet of the morning, sit on the floor. I often use this opportunity to stretch (伸展). I also just sit, and focus on my breathing going in and out.
I like to take breaks from work, and go outside for a slow walk. Pay attention to your breathing, to everything around you, to the sounds and light of objects.
Read in silence. Find a quiet time, and a quiet place, and read a good novel. Have no television or computers on nearby. And just put yourself in the world of the novel. It might seem difficult to let your mind move from the present into the time of the novel, but it’s a great practice in focus. Each day, find someone you care about and be grateful for his existence. If you want, you can tell that person how thankful you are to him.
| A．Walk slowly. |
| B．Work with focus. |
| C．Look at someone in a grateful way. |
| D．But this is easier said than done. |
