Question

What should healthy people look like? One hundred middle school students in Shanghai can show you the right answer.

Shanghai has just chosen its 100 school children. These children were chosen from 60,000 school students. The 100 school children are neither too fat nor too thin. They see and hear clearly. They look happy and lively. It took five months to choose the healthy hundred. First, students’ eyesight, hearing and teeth were checked. Then there was a hard test of their minds and bodies. On November 19th, these children got together at a middle school in Shanghai to tell stories about how they keep fit and what good healthy habits they have.

Many children say doing sports and having good habits are important. A girl practised taekwondo(跆拳道) twice a week. “I used to be a weak girl,” she said. “But doing taekwondo gives me a healthy body and makes me happy.”

Another Shanghai girl has strong white teeth. She is only nine years old but has already made many TV advertisements for toothpaste(牙膏). She knows good ways to keep teeth healthy. “Have milk instead of sweets or junk food,” she said. “Brush your teeth twice every day.”

Having a healthy body is not all you need. One girl says that making more friends helps one grow. “Friendship with your classmates and teachers can make you more brave and clever.”
