I love to run with a partner, but there's nothing, like running alone. It's the “me” time that I badly need.

When you run by yourself, you have time to think. You have enough time alone to work through whatever worries you, and by the time you're home again, you'll feel mentally refreshed (精神振作)．

If something is weighing on your mind, I say, think about it as you run. Run until you've successfully dealt with it. Sometimes the best therapy (治疗) comes not on a bed, but in running shoes.

Honestly, it's easier for me to work out rather than improve my diet. I noticed early in my training that as I ran further distances, I cared more about what I ate because they directly affect each other.

You want to run at your best performance level, and it won't take you long to realize which foods help and which ones hurt. Simply by running, your food needs change, and you eat the best foods to give you energy.

A friend recently asked me, “Why do you run？” I said, “In a given day, sometimes I hate the one hour that I spend running. But I love the way that one hour makes me feel for the rest of the day.”

There is a mysterious quality that running adds to your life. I don't know if it's the way it shapes your legs or the knowledge that you've cleared seven miles before most people wake up. I think true_runners_walk_a_little_taller. They hold a confidence that doesn't come from anything else.

Compared to kids who eat with their families once a week or not at all, kids who always sit down to eat with their families are less likely to be overweight and eat unhealthy foods, according to U．S. researchers at the University of Illinois.

In the study, which included 182,836 children aged 2 to 17, researchers found kids who ate with their parents at least three times a week had 12% lower chances of being overweight. The children were also 20% less likely to eat junk food, 35% less likely to have eating problems like missing meals or making_a_pig_of_oneself,_and 24% more likely to eat vegetables and other healthy foods.

According to the U．S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood overweight has increased by more than three times over the past 30 years. The extra pounds may destroy kids' self­esteem (自尊) and can cause health problems such as heart disease.

“We also know that families that sit down together are less likely to eat high­calorie food, so the kids can control their weight，” said John Hammond, a professor at the University of Illinois. “There are also nutritional (营养的) benefits from that，” said him. Regular family meals make it easy to ensure everyone is getting the nutrients they need, which is good for children's growth. For example, they cook fish once a week and red meat once or twice every two weeks and have a vegetable at every meal.

As a result, the researchers encourage families to spend more time together around the dinner table. “It doesn't have to be every day，” said John Hammond. “We know that families are very busy.”

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

Germs aren't found only in the water. They are found in the air and dust. If you cut your finger，if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut (割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body，and you would have pains everywhere.

C. If your temperature is not OK, there must be germs in your body.

D. If your finger isn't cut, there aren't any germs on it.

As we all know, sleep is very important and necessary. I would love everyone to form the habits below to have better sleep without needing the alarm wake­up call.

The harder you push your body, the faster it falls to sleep and the better it sleeps.

Turn the TV off. There are a few shows I watch still, but they will never get in my way of (妨碍) sleep. The bedroom is only for sleeping and a place of rest. _4__

_5__ A question to ask yourself: If I didn't have an alarm, what time would I get up? If that time is the time you need to get up, you should probably throw away the alarm.
