How Fit Are Young Teens?
How often do you exercise? A new study finds that most kids ages 12 to 15 aren't getting enough physical activity.
U.S. fitness guidelines recommend (推荐) an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1 in 4 U.S. kids meet the recommendation. Few kids in the survey met the guidelines for physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes you breathe harder. However, most of those kids said they did at least an hour of exercise at that level during the previous week.
The study found fat teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls.
“There's always room for improvement,” said health expert Tala.She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Let's Move, which was launched by First Lady Michelle Obama. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape, the First Lady visits schools and holds exercise events. She also calls on schools to offer regular gym classes.
The research suggests kids who get physical education may get better grades.
A. It's concerning.
B. She is an expert on children's health.
C. She was the lead author of the study.
D. The results are based on about 800 kids.
E. Schools should give kids more time for physical activity.
F. But levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys.
G. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of difficult exercise every day.
Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter — like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.
Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.
Control the breath and feel the fear.
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.
A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists. B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do. C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life. D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear. E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back. F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant. G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively. |

A. It expands your world view. B. You'll feel an increase in confidence. C. It helps you to become a more talkative person. D. It may show you the solutions you didn't know about. E. Talking to a stranger is a good habit as you never know who you may meet. F. Having a short dialogue is one of those perfect chances to make people cheerful. G. Asking proper questions and attentive listening are two skills that many don't have. |
