五、阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
China has started a three-year“Weight Management(管理) Year”plan from 2024to 2027. Its goal is to help people to fight against obesity(肥胖) and live healthier lives. Here's what you should know about the new guidelines(指南):
First, it's important to check your BMI (Body Mass Index)(体重指数). For adults, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are overweight. A BMI of 28 or more means you are obese(肥胖的).
Eating well is very important, and exercise is just as important. When it comes to food, choose whole grains like brown rice and fresh vegetables. For exercise, try to do150-300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling, or dancing every week. If you sit for a long time while studying, stand up and stretch(伸展) for 5 minutes every hour.
Schools and communities are also helping. For example, schools in Shanghai now make sure students exercise for at least two hours every day, and hospitals have“weight clinics(诊所)”with diet plans and exercise advice. By 2030, China hopes to slow down the increase of obesity through education and support.
Remember, losing weight isn't about being perfect—— just start with small changes, like drinking water, or taking a walk after dinner. With these easy steps, everyone can have a healthier future.
