在大千社会中，随着青少年长大，他们努力地自力更生。他们或许迫切需要父母的关爱却又感觉疏远；他们或许想要成为团体的一员，但又渴望独立。正因为青少年们在平衡这些需要时有困难，所以他们经常质疑自己到底是谁以及怎样融入社会。

The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the end everything turns out OK —the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenge is traded for the changes and challenges of grown-up life. 好在这些成长的烦恼并不会持久。最终一切都会好起来——青少年成长为健康的成年人而青春期的变化和挑战则转变为成人生活中的种种变化和挑战。

Dying to be thin …

Hi Zhou Ling

How are you? I haven’t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?

Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don’t work out any more. I know another way to stay slim. Looking good is important to women, isn’t it? Mo st young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I’m trying to lose weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV show, I’m taking weight-loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here. I hope to lose at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and don’t need to exercise.

The pills really work! I’m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I’ve lost 7 kilograms in the last two months. However, sometimes I don’t feel so energetic. M y mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.

Write soon!

Love Amy

Dear Zhou Ling

Things change so quickly! I’m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking those weight-loss pills. They contain a harmful chemical that caused my liver to fail. The pills were going to completely destroy my liver if I continued taking them. My mother insisted on sending me to the hospital, where I received good medical treatment.

It was a really painful experience, but I’m feeling better now. I follow my doctor’s advice and exercise for at least half an hour every day (but I seldom go to the gym!), and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don’t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn’t worth it. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the way we look, should we? I hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Amy

Dear Amy

My computer was broken so I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering.

You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you’re a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.

It’s the same in China—many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story.

Love

Zhou Ling

嗨，周玲：

你好。好几个星期都没收到你的来信了。一切顺利吗？

你现在还是每天去健身房吗？我以前常去健身房，一周三次，可我现在不再锻炼了。我有了另外一种保持苗条身材的方法。显得美丽对女性来说很重要，难道不是吗？如今，大部分年轻女性都想拥有苗条的身材，在加拿大这里尤其是这样。我目前在努力减肥，因为我的体型让我觉得非常羞愧。由于我正准备出演一部新的电视剧，所以我在服用一种名叫Fat—Less的减肥药片，这种药片很受加拿大年轻女性的欢迎。我希望能够至少减去10公斤。我每天服用两片，因而也就不用锻炼了。

减肥药片还真的管用哦！我现在可是越发苗条了。前两个月我就减去了7公斤。可是，有时候我感到没有精神。我妈妈（你去年见过她的）一直告诫我不要服用减肥药片，因为减肥药危及健康。她说，健康是最重要的，我同意这个观点，可是我现在看上去多么苗条。

快些给我写信哦！爱你的

埃米

亲爱的周玲：情况变化实在是太快了！我现在住院了，患的是肝衰竭，正在恢复中。我很后悔服用了那种减肥药片。那些减肥药片里含有某种有害的化学物质，导致了我肝功能衰竭。如果我当时继续服用这些药片，我的肝脏就彻底毁了。我妈妈坚持将我送进了医院。在这儿我得到了很好的治疗。

这的确是一段令人痛苦的经历，但是现在我感觉好多了。我听从医生的建议，每天锻炼至少半小时（但我很少去健身房！），吃很多的水果和蔬菜。人们应该照顾好自己的身体。我妈妈是对的：不要为了苗条、动人的身材毁了自己的健康，那样做是得不偿失的。我们不应该为自己的外表感到羞愧，不是吗？

我希望能够早点儿收到你的回信。爱你的

埃米

亲爱的埃米：我的电脑出了故障，所以直到今天才能够看到你的两封电子邮件。得知你的病情我非常难过，但让我感到高兴的是，你现在感觉良好，身体正在恢复中。

你说得对。我们不应该因为自己的体重感到难为情。我觉得你目前这个样子看上去就很棒，而且你是一个非常优秀的人。我知道，保持身材苗条的压力是问题的症结所在，对一个女演员来说尤其是这样。但是，你妈妈她最清楚不过：没有什么比健康更重要。

在中国也是一样的情况——许多人，其中有些人压根儿就不超重，总是在节食，或者是吃减肥药片，这些做法往往是危险的。我希望他们能够从你的经历中汲取教训。

爱你的周玲

M1U3 Project Making a booklet on keeping fit

The truth is, diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, the good news is that you can feel better, look better and have more energy if you eat the right food and exercise regularly.

Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. Diets are useless in the long term, yet approximately 20% of teenagers say they have tried going on a diet and skipping meals to control their weight. If you eat properly and exercise regularly, you will lose weight, keep fit and feel great.

As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. If you skip meals, y …… 此处隐藏：4673字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
