健康并不在于食物、运动或草药的“完美”。健康是在这些方面与你的欲望之间取得平衡。它不仅要滋养你的身体,还要滋养你的精神。

[赏析]本句中when引导的是时间状语从句;rather than意为“而不是”;which引导的是非限制性定语从句。

4.Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away,we often become pessimistic and give up.

原文
HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
As teenagers grow up,they become more independent① and start making their own decisions②. However,during this period,it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits.These bad habits,if left unchecked③,could lead to④ more serious ones when they become adults. For example,some of them may become involved in⑤ tobacco⑥ or alcohol⑦ abuse⑧,which can lead to physical⑨ and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating⑩ a teenager’s life is essential⑪. They must learn to recognise⑫ bad habits early and make appropriate⑬ changes.
To change bad habits is never easy,even with many attempts⑭. There is a famous saying based on the philosophy⑮ of Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly⑯ do.” In many ways,our lifestyle is the sum⑰ of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something,and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic⑱ and forms⑲ a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change,if we understand how habits work.
According to modern psychology⑳,we must first learn about the “habit cycle”,which works like this:
·Firstly,there is a “cue㉑”,an action,event,or situation that acts as a signal㉒ to do something.
·Secondly,there is a “routine㉓”,the regular action you take in response to㉔ the cue.
·Thirdly,there is the “reward㉕”,the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example,when we feel unhappy(cue),we eat lots of unhealthy snacks㉖ (routine),which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle,and the bad habit of relying on㉗ unhealthy snacks is formed.
To facilitate㉘ a positive change in our bad habits,we must first examine㉙ our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt㉚ them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example,we could try to replace㉛ a negative㉜ routine with something more positive. So,when we feel unhappy again (cue),rather than㉝ eat snacks,we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine),which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from㉞ changing bad habits,we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example,when we come to an escalator㉟ (cue),our normal routine is to ride it,but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly,and if we are not successful straight away㊱,we often become pessimistic㊲ and give up㊳. In fact,the most successful way to change is not suddenly,but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote,“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small,but it is essential.To reach the goal of change,a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps. After all㊴,it is not easy to break bad habits.
For young people,there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However,there is no “magic pill” or delete㊵button that will help you;you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
译文
健康的生活方式的习惯
随着青少年的成长,他们变得更加独立,开始自己做决定。然而,在这个阶段,他们中的一些人很容易养成坏习惯。这些坏习惯如果不加以控制,待他们成年后可能会导致更严重的坏习惯。例如,有些青少年会沉溺于烟酒不能自拔,造成生理和心理健康问题。防止像这样的不良习惯支配青少年的生活是极其重要的。他们必须尽早学会认清坏习惯并做出适当的改变。
即使尝试很多次,改掉坏习惯从来都不容易。有一条基于亚里士多德哲学思想的著名谚语说道:“重复的行为造就了我们。”在许多方面,我们的生活方式是我们所做选择的总和。我们决定做一些事情,然后我们不断地重复。很快,这种选择就会自动形成一种很难改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是如何工作的,我们可以改变。
根据现代心理学,我们首先必须学习“习惯周期”,它的工作原理如下:
·首先,有一个“暗示”,一个动作、事件或情况,作为做某事的信号。
·其次,有一个“常规”,即你根据暗示采取的常规行动。
·第三,有一个“奖励”,即我们从常规行动中得到的好处或感觉。
例如:当我们感到不快乐时(暗示),我们会吃很多不健康的零食(常规),这会让我们感到快乐(奖励)。这个奖励让我们更有可能继续这个循环,依赖不健康零食的坏习惯也就养成了。
想要促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转化,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。我们可以通过将来自我们的习惯周期的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来做到这一点。例如:我们可以尝试用一些更积极的东西来代替消极的常规。所以,当我们再次感到不开心时(暗示),不要吃零食,我们可以听一些我们最喜欢的音乐来代替(常规),这会让我们感到放松(奖励)。除了改变坏习惯,我们还可以利用习惯周期来创造好习惯。例如:当我们来到一个自动扶梯前时(暗示),我们的惯常行为是去乘坐它,但我们可以通过走楼梯来改变这种做法,使之变得更加积极。
我们中的许多人试图迅速改掉坏习惯,如果我们不能马上成功,我们往往会变得悲观而放弃。事实上,最成功的改变方法不是突然地(改变),而是经过一段时间。正如中国哲学家老子所言:“千里之行,始于足下。”一步看似渺小,但它是完全必要的。为了达到改变的目的,一个人必须表现出一些自制力并不断重复许多小步。毕竟,改掉坏习惯并不容易。
对于年轻人来说,有足够的时间去改变坏习惯。然而,没有“神奇药丸”或删除按钮可以帮助你;你必须考虑你的坏习惯并决定作出一些改变。你有能力建立一个快乐健康的充满良好习惯的生活!

Part 2 核心句型剖析
1.These bad habits,if left unchecked,could lead to more serious ones when they become adults.这些坏习惯如果不加以控制,待他们成年后可能会导致更严重的坏习惯。(教材P14)
句型公式:
if left unchecked是if they are left unchecked的省略形式。
句型解读:
在含有if条件句的主从复合句中,如果从句主语和主句主语一致且从句谓语含有be动词,那么从句的主语和be动词可以省略。when、while、once、unless等词引导的状语从句也有类似的省略用法。
