Tip: Look through the questions, and listen for the key words.
①Overweight is one of the biggest health problems now.
②Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What’s worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults. If you’re obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here’s good news. You can fight overweight.
③First of all, you are supposed to change your eating habits. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy. We can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables. However, many of us only eat our favorite food. Kids like snacks. One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. Also, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally, No.12. Kids picked a healthy snack-fruit. You are what you eat. So, think about your snack choice again.
④Secondly, it’s important for you to get outside to exercise. Jim, a player on his school football team, had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. The minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.
⑤Also, you’d better limit your screen time. What’s screen time It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
⑥What’s more, listening to your body can help you a lot. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.
⑦Finally, losing weight needs both patience and perseverance. Once you make up your mind, you need to make a plan and keep on doing it every day.
⑧All in all, losing weight is a lifelong journey. Please keep it in mind, “ A little bit every day, you will make great progress.”

You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university．A freshman is a first-year college student．“Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds－the fifteen pounds added to a student's weight in his or her first year．There are a number of reasons why first-year university students gain(增加)weight; but it's encouraging to know that freshmen don' have to add these harmful fifteen pounds．
Mistakes choosing food
University kitchens serve many kinds of food．Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby to help them choose．Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink．Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork．
Eating right
If you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds．Here are some ideas：
●Think more about what you eat
●Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats．
●Don' eat desserts full of sugar; have fruit after dinner．
●Try not to eat so much junk food while you study．
●It's all right to have a little fast food sometimes－but not often．
●Write down the foods you eat.
●Walk, run, do sports－move and you will feel better！
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year．

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house How will you escape Do you know how to save yourself Please read the following passage.
Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as choosing stairways（楼梯）and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury（受伤）.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak（渗入）into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto hard ground might end in injury. Bushes（灌木丛）and grass can help to break a fall（使势头减弱）.
