1. What are “couch potatoes”?
2. How can we keep healthy and fit?
Learning Tips: 英文中很多约定俗成的用法，我们不能简单从字面去联想，而是要通过上下文来推测它的意思。比如这段文章里面有一个 couchpotato, 是指“整天泡在电视
机前看电视的人”， 而不是“ 土豆” 的意思。
Reading and writing
Are You a Couch Potato ? Some people spend too much time in front of the TV and eat
too much fast food. They become lazier and lazier. They are called
couch potatoes. They say they like fast food because it is fast. But
the trouble with fast food is that it can make us fat really fast.
A healthy diet should give us what we need but not contain too
much fat or sugar. But fast food gives us much more than we need
and it becomes fat and stays with us. So we start to
look fat.
So what can we do if we don’t want to be couch
potatoes? The answer is more exercise. Exercise
makes us healthy and fit. If we spend less time in front
of the TV and our computer and spend more time
playing sport and joining in outdoor activities, we will
be slim and smart. We should all get out more!
Reading and writing
Decide true (T) or false (F).
1. Couch potatoes are big potatoes.
2. Fast food can give us much more than we need.
3. A healthy diet doesn’t contain fat or sugar.

Around the world
1. Why are most young Americans strong and healthy?
2. What is the greatest event in football?
Around the world
Most young Americans are strong and healthy because they play a lot of sports. American football helps a lot in keeping young people healthy and strong. It is the most popular sport in all schools and colleges in the country. There are professional football teams in nearly all major cities of the United States. Most of the players are college footballers. It is really exciting to watch an American football game. Soccer or football is the most popular game in the world. Millions of people, old and young, love to play or watch the games. There are many big names in football, like Beckham, Ronaldo, Messi and Deco. The World Cup is the greatest event in the football world. Millions of people will sit in front of TVs to watch the games. But be careful! Watching TV for too long is bad for your health. It would be better go out and play it yourself.
Many people complain that they’re too busy to exercise. Actually, if we plan to have some exercise everyday, we can make the time. We can do some outdoor activities with our families, such as play games, take a walk… Doing any kind of activity will be better than sitting before computers or TVs.
Sleep is good for your health. It keeps your heart healthy, reduces stress, helps you remember things better, and even helps you lose weight. So make sure you get enough sleep every night.
For Better Performance Li Hua wants to keep fit. Dr. Lee, a health expert, gives him some tips. Read them and then make a list for him.
For Better Performance
Even when you think you are in very good health, you should have regular check-ups at hospital. Regular teeth and eye check-ups are very important, especially for the young.
Try to eat fresh food such as fresh fruit and vegetables. Don’t store or cook food for too long. Eating low-fat or fat-free dairy products is also good for health.

For Better PerformanceRead the letter that Li Hua writes to his friend.
Hi, Li Wei,
I can’t wait to tell you how good I feel after two months’ exercise and dieting. Do you remember Tom used to joke that I was wearing a tyre around my waist? Guess what? Only two months’ exercise and I have lost 10 kilograms. The “tyre” is gone! Sounds amazing, eh! I bet if you also plan a diet and exercise programme and stick to it, you can make it too. Dieting doesn’t mean you have to give up food like ice cream. The party isn’t over. Just watch how often you eat it. Exercise is the same. Make sure it’s on your timetable. Set regular goals that you can really live with. Then, as all the ads say, just do it!
Wanna have a try? It really can be fun and easy!
