And I'll 14to eat healthy food. People15 old habits die hard, but I must make my old habits die.
Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
"A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy(能量)."In fact,the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread and bananas is rich in it, but meat is not.
"The best time to exercise is early in the morning."
Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be good for you. If afternoon or evening is OK for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.
"If you drink water when you exercise, you'll feel tired."
You must have some water during breaks(休息) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you may feel tired.
"Exercising every day is quite important."
Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for our health. You need to give your body at least a day of rest.

There is nobody in the world that is exactly like you: You are unique(独特的). That makes the world colorful. There are people who are taller than you. Maybe your hair is the same color as your friend's, but perhaps yours is longer than his or hers.
I am sure you have friends who are smarter than you. But there are also people around you who are not good at these things.
Do you both like to finish your homework on the same day you get it? Are you both neat(整洁的)? I think in some ways you are the same, but in some other ways you are different.

Mike's grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(咖啡馆) in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for a waiter or a waitress to take his order. Of course, nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite(在……对面) him and told him how a cafeteria worked.
"Start out at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay." "I soon know that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told Mike later. "Life's a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
