Being overweight can make everyday activities hard and make people feel terrible about themselves. More importantly, being overweight can lead to serious health problems like heart problems, diabetes (糖尿病), and even some kinds of cancer (癌症). The NHC has started the Weight Management Year (体重管理年) program to encourage healthy lifestyles. So, do you know how to manage weight? First, try to have good eating habits. Eat meals at proper times. Have breakfast every day and finish dinner by 7 pm. Eat until 70% full and eat slowly. Begin with vegetables, then meat, and finally rice or noodles. This helps control how much you eat. Second, getting enough sleep is also important, at least 7 hours a night. What’s more, you should do exercise often. Try to exercise for 150 to 300 minutes each week, like walking or bike-riding. Add strength (力量) training 2 to 3 times a week. Don’t sit for too long. Stand up and move every hour. Experts remind us that weight management is not a short-term goal. It’s a lifelong habit. In a word, we should eat well, stay active and have enough sleep to control our weight.

The scientists have tested the robotic tooth-cleaner in their own lab again and again. But it isn’t yet ready for people to use.

You don’t have to have a science degree, but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is difficult so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people. What’s the training like? People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity (重力). They train in difficult situations to learn how to solve problems and to work on a team. Everyday life like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult in a spaceship. There is no running water to wash hands. It’s hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep, you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also must tie yourself to something, so you don’t fly away! What health problems do astronauts have? Astronauts often get backache (背痛) because you grow in space-up to 8cm ! It’s also common to feel terrible at the beginning. So you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay healthy. And you must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. 1．将划线部分翻译成中文。 2．Is there running water in the spaceship? 3．Why must you cover your eyes to sleep on the International Space Station? 4．What health problems do astronauts have? 5． What do you think of astronauts? 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题07 知识运用之阅读表达 主题01 人与自我——人生哲理； 健康生活；校园生活；愿望与沟通；梦想与建议； 健康饮食；兴趣爱好 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖南邵阳第六中学·期末) Once there was a monkey.

Add strength (力量) training 2 to 3 times a week. Don’t sit for too long. Stand up and move every hour. Experts remind us that weight management is not a short-term goal. It’s a lifelong habit.

Lately, as an official video of Baduanjin got popular on the Internet, it has become a new favourite sport for young people. With a history of over 800 years, Baduanjin, one of the forms of qigong, was created in the Song Dynasty. As its name shows, Baduanjin is made up of eight groups of movements. Baduanjin is slow and usually accompanied (伴随) by soft and relaxing music, so it used to be thought as a sport for the elderly. Baduanjin is easy to learn and people need little space (空间) to do it. So it’s perfect for office workers, as they often feel pain in their neck and shoulders, which is caused by long hours of sitting. “I’ve been doing Baduanjin for a month, which makes me sleep better. I think Baduanjin is really helpful,” a young netizen wrote below the video. Besides him, many people said Baduanjin could help them get relaxed. But according to the experts (专家), not all people are suitable (合适的) for practicing Baduanjin, and patients who may fall easily shouldn’t do the exercise.

Passage 2 (24-25八上·湖南怀化·期末) Are you interested in space? Do you want to be an astronaut? Let’s come close to them and know more. Can anyone be an astronaut? Of course not. You don’t have to have a science degree, but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is difficult so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people. What’s the training like? People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity (重力). They train in difficult situations to learn how to solve problems and to work on a team. Everyday life like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult in a spaceship. There is no running water to wash hands. It’s hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep, you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also must tie yourself to something, so you don’t fly away!
