The human(人类) body needs energy,which is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
Calories(卡路里) usually decide the energy value(价值) of food. To raise the temperature of I g of water by 1℃ needs one calorie. The number of calories people need each day is different.
Calories Needed Each Day | |
Baby 750 | Office worker 2,700 |
Child aged 8 2,100 | Woman feeding baby 2,700 |
Man over 70 2,100 | Boy aged 16 3,000 |
Woman 2,600 | Farmer 3,600 |
Also,the number of calories you use at any moment usually depends on the activity you are in. For example,you need more calories for standing than for sitting,more for running than for walking and so on. The energy in food is in the form or three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate(碳水化合物),protein(蛋白质) and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3. 8 Cal/gm(卡路里/每克) of energy,protein 4. 0 Cal/gm,and fat 8. 8 Cal/gm. Each food has different amounts(量) of these materials,as the round pictures show.
(P=protein C=carbohydrate F=fat)
People are able to hear well,being able to hear high and low sounds through ears. People's ears have three different parts.
The outer ear is the part of the ear that people can see. The size and shape of people's ears is random(随机的) and it doesn't affect their hearing. People with big ears don't hear better than people with small ears!Some people choose to put earrings at the earlobe,the bottom of their ears,but this doesn't affect hearing. Even though this is the main part of the ear you can see,all it does is to collect sound and send it down into the middle car—a part like a satellite dish(蝶形卫星接受器) collecting a signal.
The outer ear ends where the eardrum(鼓膜) starts. The area after the eardrum is called the middle ear. The sound that enters the outer ear makes the car drum shake and the middle ear is the place where the sound gets louder.
The sound travels through the inner ear into something called the cochlea(耳蜗). This part is filled with liquid(液体) and covered in tiny(细小的) hairs. As sound waves(声波) travel from the outer to the inner ear,they make waves in the liquid of the inner ear,which in turn moves the tiny hairs in the ear that send sound or movement signals to the brain(大脑).
Being fit and healthy doesn't mean you have to work out for hours a day and eat nothing but chicken and vegetables for every meal.
You should start to put your health and fitness in the first place today. You can work out in the park and cook your favourite food after work. What you should do first is to stop making excuses all the time.
The key to lifelong fitness is to simply be more active and walk more every day. Try your best to walk whenever and wherever you can —to the superstore, to the office, or go for an after-dinner walk with your family. In short, take every chance to walk as much as you can.
You can go for a bike ride, go on a hike, or go to play sports with your family and friends, such as ping-pong and basketball. The list is endless. Not only will you get moving, but also you will have fun.
Many people underestimate the importance of a good night's rest, but having a good rest each night is important for your health. Therefore, try to sleep seven to eight hours a night on a regular basis.
A. For your health, you have to make a change. B. There are many good habits that will help you keep in shape. C. Enough sleep is especially important. D. You should walk more instead of driving a car when going out. E. Watch TV with your friends. F. You should take part in activities that keep you moving. |
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.
First, you have to pay more attention to your diet. Eat more fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. It's good for your eyes. Also, a regular amount of vitamins a and B2 should also be taken
Second, you must have regular and sound sleep. This relaxes the eye muscles(肌肉) and gives them the rest they need. Sleep can help the body repair its tired tissue(组织). You should sleep for at least seven hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under your eyes.
Next, it's necessary for you to exercise you eyes every day. Bink(眨眼) your eyes at regular (有规律的)periods to keep your eyes moist(湿润的).
Last, you should treat your eyes correctly. For example, if you get something in your eye, don't start rubbing(揉)it. Don't read or write in poor or bright sunlight because sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Remember to use sunglasses to stop the sun from shining directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on a computer can also cause eye tiredness, so rest is required.
