Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains,I was a homebody.I had friends to hang out with,
several hobbies,and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without
going anywhere.I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing
something with one's own eyes.
The situation changed one day when Adam,my best friend,came to my room.He succeeded in
persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains.
This was my first time in the mountains,so I was turning my head in all directions.Unluckily,
the weather was foggy most of the time,and the higher we climbed the mountains,the less we could
see.But I still enjoyed the hike.I walked fast,and because of that I ran out of energy long before we
got to the top.Adam knew how to save energy.
When we finally got to the top,nothing had really changed.The same fog was covering
everything.I felt disappointed,as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos.We
spent a couple of hours on the top,and decided to turn back.Then the wind suddenly cleared the
clouds and the sun came out.It wasn't until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked.
And for some moments I couldn't believe my eyes.
This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges.I
realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year.

If you go to a fast food restaurant,you will probably see a lot of teenagers.Today,many
teenagers are overweight,and some of this is because of their bad eating habits.Most teenagers love
food with a lot of fat,oil,salt and sugar.People often call this kind of food"junk food".
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food.We find many teenagers eat unhealthily.Some don't
have breakfast before they go to school.During the day,some don't have a proper meal for lunch.In
a recent survey at one school,scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a
health y diet.They didn't like vegetables,and many of them didn't like to eat fruits.They preferred
to eat food with a lot of salt,sugar or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children's diet.Some doctors give the following advice:
Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt.Salt can cause high blood pressure in the
future.
Teenagers should eat food with less fat,oil and sugar.
Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day.Fruits and vegetables are rich in
vitamins and have little fat.
Teenagers need to drink more milk.Milk will help their bones grow.
Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day.This is good for their body and mind.
