The greatest wealth is health.
——Virgil
The greatest wealth is health. ——Virgil是古罗马诗人维吉尔广为人知的名言,其含义为“健康是最大的财富”。这一观点强调,相较于物质财富,个人的身心健康具有更根本和不可替代的价值。
核心内涵 :维吉尔所言的“财富”超越了单纯的物质范畴,指向对人生福祉至关重要的一切有价值的事物。现代健康观念也认同,健康不仅是身体无病,更涵盖生理、心理及社会适应层面的完好状态 。拥有健康是享受生活、追求事业和体验人生乐趣的基础,一旦失去健康,再多的物质资产也难以弥补其损失 。因此,这句话是对过度追逐物质而忽视身心健康的生活方式的深刻反思。
What are they doing How do you think the people feel in the photos
Look and discuss
The photos show young people doing several different activities. Some are playing music, some are exercising in a gym, and some are having a barbecue. I think these people feel happy and healthy, as they look active and cheerful.
Look and discuss
Do you think they are all leading a healthy lifestyle Why or why not
I think they are leading a healthy lifestyle because they are not by themselves and are outside and doing exercise as well as creative activities.
The photos may suggest that a healthy lifestyle is connected to being physically active, having hobbies and interests and socializing with friends in person rather than through technology.
What can you learn from these photos about healthy living activities

Post-reading
During the teenage years, some children are likely to form bad habits because they want to be more (independence) and start making their own decisions. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could result more serious ones when they grow up. (get) rid of these bad habits, they must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate (change). However, it is not easy to change bad habits.
To facilitate positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt (they).
As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote,“A journey of a thousand miles .
(begin) with a single step.” So don't try to change bad habits (quick). We must do it step by step and show some discipline. Young people must think about their bad habits and decide some changes. They have the power to build a happy and
(health) life full of good habits!
