Behind my apartment, there was used to be a dirty and messy corner．Bits of plastic bags hanged on the trees．Broken bottles were left laying here and there．There was a damaging car in the center．The whole corner gave away an unpleasant smell．One year ago, we decided to turn it in a beautiful park．Since then, great changes have been taken place in that corner．All the rubbish have been cleared away．Flowers and young trees have planted all over．Now birds come here to sing, children come here to play, and adults come here to enjoy our peaceful life．It has taken on a new look．

One day I deeply felt the deep mother love surrounding me. I went to home for lunch quickly after school, because there would be a exam in the afternoon and I had expected to return to school early to prepare for the exam. And when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt very happy. When two dishes were seen, I found neither I liked. I ran out of my house angry and walked on the street for a while. Then I walk to school. When I got into the classroom, one classmates told me that my mother had brought my lunch box here. After opened the box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes were filling with tears.

 

LONDON----Here’s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.

     Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

　　In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin EkblomBak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.

　　While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.

　　"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating(调节) the amount of glucose（葡萄糖） and fat in the body start to shut down.

　　Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — but still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single bout.（一回）

　　Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.

　　"We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad," said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the Canadian study. "But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary behavior, the better."

　　Figures from a U.S. survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.

　　Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

　　"People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits," Ekblom-Bak said. "But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible," she said.
