The Cause of Obesity
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent. Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) if their BMI is greater than 30 kg/m2 (Wikipedia, 2011). Nowadays, obesity has become a serious problem in the world. Demonstrated according to the investigation that there is about 60 percent of the populace in the USA is too fat and Germany obese people are more than half of the country population.
Some people become obesity, because they inherit their parents’ obese gene. The UK researchers have discovered a comm
Moreover, more and more people lack of exercise is another reason to cause obesity. Because of the popularity of the Internet, teenagers began to indulge in the Internet. They just want to play computer games, online shopping and chat on Facebook、Twitter… So, they spend less time in playing sport and unlike previous youth to do various sport. They lack of exercise, lack of active and lack a best way to keep fit.
Besides, fast food is the best important reason to cause obesity. Fast foods contain a large number of calories and unhealthful ingredients. Also, fast foods are composed of high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. Many teenagers just want to eat fast foods which are deep-fried. It is contributing to obesity. The study suggests that zoning laws restricting fast food outlets within a set distance of schools could combat childhood obesity in America. (Health State, 2007). In addition, eating too many fast foods can cause Hypertension, High cholesterol and malnutrition. A healthy diet not only can let us have a good figure, but also let us have a good health.
Obesity is an excess proportion of total body fat. We could this boils down eating too much rubbishy fast food and exercising too little in behavior, meanwhile, it can cause by an unmodifiablereality, our gene.Obesity is not just a cosmetic consideration. It is a chronic medical disease that can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic illnesses. Obesity is difficult to treat and has a high relapse rate so that should prevent our weight to become too high ahead of schedule. (Word: 440)

篇二：高中英语作文减肥的方法
高中英语作文减肥的方法
Some people don't mind being fat. In some countries a round stomach is nothing to be
ashamed of. There is a West African saying: "Laugh and grow fat." Other people can keep slim without any effort. But a lot of people do put on ,too much weight and don't like it. The question is, What do they do about it?
Some people put their faith in exercise. But the trouble with exercise is that it only works up an appetite. Others believe in slim pills and special clothes that make you sweat. It would be nice if they worked, but they don't.
The only reliable solution is dieting. But what sort of diet? There are the extremists who believe in a dramatic, thorough-going attack on their waistline by eating nothing. There is another theory that if you eat things like hard boiled eggs,apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard to digest, that the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food. For most of us these methods are too extreme or too eccentric. The simplest system is just to cut down on the carbohydrates or, if possible, to cut them right out.
有些人不介意自己肥胖。在有些国家中有个圆鼓鼓的肚子没什么丢人的。西方就有这么一句谚语："心宽体胖"。另外有些人不必费劲就能保持苗条身材。但是很多人确实体重过高，而且不喜欢这样。问题是：他们对此能做些什么呢?
有些人相信运动。但运动的问题在于那只能刺激食欲。另一些人相信减肥药和使你出汗的特殊衣物，这些东西如果能起作用当然不错，但它们不起作用。
唯一可靠的方法就是注意饮食。但什么样的饮食呢?有些极端主义者相信通过不吃东西对他们的腰围开展剧烈全面的进攻。还有另外一种理论认为如果食用诸如煮硬的鸡蛋，带皮的苹果和难消化的瘦肉，吃得越多就会越瘦。这是因为你用光了体内的脂肪以得到能量来消化食物。对我们多数人而言，这些方法都过于极端或过于奇怪。最简便的方法只需降低碳水化合物的食用，可能的话，完全停止食用。

Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student named Wang Ping. Recently, we often have to buy presents for our classmates’ birthdays, and sometimes, we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive
hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays. About this there are two different views. Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school. However, some other students think it’s a waste of money and time and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education. So there is no need for us to do like that. We must treasure our parents’ labor and put our hearts into our studies.
What do you think about it? I’m expecting your reply.
Yours,
Wang Ping

Tracking My Growth
The process of growing up is complex for every person, for there are many influential factors in a person’s growth as well as the development of his personality．As for me, what has affected me most in my both growth and personality are family and friends, the two equally important factors． After one is born, the first surroundings is the family in which he will grow up．Family plays a significant role in shaping children’s character because it’s children’s most direct source of knowledge and experiences．Those who are brought up in good families tend to possess many pleasant characters and vice versa．
On the other hand, friends in some ways influence him more rapidly than families do．Friends have many different opinions and personalities．Discussing with them builds up his personality．Frankly speaking, I get lots of valuable things from my friends．
Family offers me warmth and care．Friends give me strength and horizons．Therefore, both of them are most influential in my growth

in 1980s, people called us "80's generation". However now we have met
some embarrasse in our life.
For example, the diploma of university means nothing; Just graduated, workless followed; The house for us likes a moon have no way to touch.
As far as I am concered, I was ever an outstanding student in the campus, however, when I began to look for the job, I started to understand the meaning of competition. How to describe it? Let me give you an instance. I joined many recruitments, before it, I prepared for twenty copies of resumes. On the spot, I think the jam I needn't to say, everyone who joined it would have the same feeling. Besides, the resume likes a stone sank to the sea, there always no feedback to you. Because in two days the company recruiter would receive thousands of resumes and almost everyone have the diploma of the university. Supply far exceeds demand. If you have no experience it certainly will neglect by the recruiter.

What is the good life for us? Twenty years ago,“属于我，属于你，属于八十年代的新一辈“，fifteen years ago,“太阳是我们的，太阳是我们的，月亮??”，ten years ago,“让我们期待明 天会更好！”，eight years ago,“不经历风雨，则么能见彩虹，没有人能随随便便成功”，and now.“我闭上眼睛就成天黑”。

中国"自我的一代"
“我们更自我。我们为自己而活，这样很好。我们必须有能力为经济发展做贡献。这是我们这一代帮助国家的方式。”
6个好朋友在周五晚上聚在了一起，海鲜应有尽有，大家谈笑风生。玛丽亚·张戴着大大的耳环，穿着紧身天鹅绒夹克，脸上化着精致的妆容，开始描述人人都在谈论的一个小岛，那个小岛位于泰国东部沿海。她说，那儿的潜水棒极了，有很多中国人，根本就不必担心语言问题。她的朋友维姬·杨正弯腰盯着一台借来的笔记本电脑，把一个吹毛求疵的客户的电子邮件下载到手机里。杨小姐是一家咨询公司的精算师，今晚必须完成一个方案。在她给同
事打电话时，餐桌上的话题已经从滑雪(“我大概摔了上百次”)转移到不同型号的iPod的优缺点(比如，“Shuffle不好”)，然后又讨论起信用卡在中国的暴增。
类似这样的话题讨论反映出如今一些20多岁的中国年轻人的现状。
在中国，30岁以下的成年人约3亿，这一群体已成为连接曾经封闭排外的中国，与正在变成全球经济大国的“新新中国”之间的桥梁。中国年轻人是这个国家当前经济腾飞的推动者和主要受益者。据瑞士信贷第一波士顿最近的一项调查，年龄在20～29岁的中国人的收入，在过去3年间上涨了34%，远高于其他年龄段。去调查一下当今中国的城市年轻人，你会发现他们喝星巴克，穿耐克，沉迷于写博客。
对于一个曾去过到处还是蓝制服和人民公社的中国的外国人来说，要改变观念，接受“如今中国是一个青年精英们聚集的国家”的看法着实不易。1981年，我第一次到中国时，和两个旅伴去上海的人民公园。外交部给我们配备的“导游”带领我们从一个“外国朋友”专用入口进去。一群中国人聚集在外面，当我们通过时，有几个人大声抱怨说公园的某些部分只向外国人开放太不公平。我的一个同伴用中文口若悬河地表示赞同。立刻就有一群年轻男女将我们围住，叽叽喳喳地向我们提了一堆既幼稚又热切的问题：美国还有奴隶吗？你在哪里学的中文？所有的美国家庭真的都有3部车吗？你能帮我去美国吗？
那场讨论发生在25年前。我那时遇到的那些天真谨慎的中国人，也许就是文章开头提及的北京海鲜宴会上的那群年轻人的父母。但无论从外表、态度、生活经历、教育，还是对未来的梦想来看，在上海人民公园里的那群年轻人，与杨小姐和她的朋友们都毫无共同之处。
最大的变化在人口方面。由于中国的独生子女政策，这是世界历史上第一代以独生子女为主的群体，这一群体的自我倾向受到了消费主义、互联网和电子游戏的刺激。与此同时，今天的中国年轻人比上一辈人受过更好的教育、更国际化。在“文革”中成长起来的一代人，往往只勉强念完高中，而今天有大约1/4的中国人在20岁左右就进入了大学。
杨小姐身上体现了中国年轻人的那种变化。她是一个目标明确的29岁的精算师，很少笑，但热衷于参加派对。她和她的朋友们经常聚餐或泡吧，几乎不在家里吃饭。
在男朋友、滑雪爱好者王宁(音译)的鼓励下，杨小姐在年初决定开始学习这项运动。她去了北京南部一家价格昂贵的购物中心购买滑雪装备。她选了一块由美国科罗拉多Never Summer公司生产的、闪闪发亮的全新滑雪板，上面装饰着色彩艳丽的蝴蝶图案，加上手套、护目镜和其他随身用具，全套新装备共花去她700美元。当被问到花一大笔钱，为一项她也许永远不会参加的运动置办装备是否值得时，她说：“我认为你在决定开始一项新爱好时，就必须准备充分。”
像杨小姐和她的朋友们一样的中国年轻人代表了时代潮流，他们是大批年轻而拥有雄心壮志的消费开路先锋。放眼中国，像这样的年轻专业人士的谈论话题离不开博客、旅行、工作与生活的平衡。如果他们还买不起700美元的滑雪装备，他们也希望能尽快拥有。
在那家海鲜餐厅，餐盘都被清理下去了，新鲜水果和茶水被端上来，大家都变得若有所思。“我们比父母要幸运多了。”张小姐说，她在北京最高级的俱乐部之一当人事经理，“我
的父母亲自己什么也没有。他们为我而活。”王宁自己拥有一家相当成功的广告公司，他对此也很赞同，“我们更自我。我们为自己而活，这样很好。我们必须有能力为经济发展做贡献。那是我们贡献的力量。这是我们这一代帮助国家的方式。”
China’s Me Generation
Six friends out on a friday evening, the seafood plentiful, the conversation flowing. Maria Zhang — big hoop earrings, tight velvet jacket and a good deal of meticulously applied makeup — starts to describe an island that everyone is talking about off the east coast of Thailand. It has great diving, she says, and lots of Chinese there so you don’t have to worry about language. Her friend Vicky Yang is hunched over a borrowed laptop, downloading an e-mail from a pesky client on her cell phone. An actuary at a consulting firm, Vicky needs to close a project tonight. While she phones a colleague, the dinner-table conversation moves on to snowboarding ("I must have fallen a hundred times") to the relative merits of various iPods ("Shuffle is no good") and the sudden onrush of credit cards in China. Silence Chen, an account executive with advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather in Beijing, tells the group he recently received six different cards in the mail. "Each one has a credit limit of 10,000," he says, laughing. "So suddenly I’m 60,000 yuan richer!" The talk turns to China’s online shopping business, before that is interrupted by the arrival of razor clams, chili squid and deep-fried grouper.
The one subject that doesn’t come up — and almost never does when this tight-knit group of friends gets together — is politics. That sets them apart from previous generations of Chinese élites, whose lives were defined by the epic events that shaped China’s past half-century: the Cultural Revolution, the opening to the West, the student protests in Tiananmen Square and their subsequent suppression. The conversation at Gang Ji Restaurant suggests today’s twentysomethings are tuning all that out. "There’s nothing we can do about politics," says Chen. "So there’s no point in talking about it or getting involved."
There are roughly 300 million adults in China under age 30, a demographic cohort that serves as a bridge between the closed, xenophobic China of the Mao years and the globalized economic powerhouse that it is becoming. Young Chinese are the drivers and chief beneficiaries of the country’s current boom: according to a recent survey by Credit Suisse First Boston, the incomes of 20- to 29-year-olds grew 34% in the past three years, by far the biggest of any age group. And because of their self-interested, apolitical pragmatism, they could turn out to be the salvation of the ruling Communist Party — so long as it keeps delivering the economic goods. Survey young, urban Chinese today, and you will find them drinking Starbucks, wearing Nikes and blogging obsessively. But you will detect little interest in demanding voting rights, let alone overthrowing the country’s communist rulers. "On their wish list," says Hong Huang, a publisher of several lifestyle magazines, "a Nintendo Wii comes way ahead of democracy."
The rise of China’s Me generation has implications for the foreign policies of other nations. Sinologists in the West have long predicted that economic growth would eventually bring democracy to China. As James Mann points out in his new book, The China Fantasy, the idea that China will evolve into a democracy as its middle class grows continues to underlie the U.S.’s
China policy, providing the central rationale for maintaining close ties with what is, after all, an unapologetically authoritarian regime. But China’s Me generation could shatter such long-held assumptions. As the chief beneficiaries of China’s economic success, young professionals have more and more tied up in preserving the status quo. The last thing they want is a populist politician winning over the country’s hundreds of millions of have-nots on a rural-reform, stick-it-to-the-cities agenda.
All of which means democracy isn’t likely to come to China anytime soon. And that poses challenges for Western policymakers as they try to engage China without condoning the Communist Party’s record of political repression and its failures to improve the lives of the country’s rural poor. China watchers say the Me generation’s reluctance to agitate for reform is driven in part by a reluctance to tarnish China’s moment in the sun. "They are proud of what China has accomplished, and very positive about the government," says P.T. Black, who conducts extensive marketing research for a Shanghai-based company called Jigsaw International. The political passivity of China’s new élite makes sense while the good times roll. The question is what will happen to the Me generation — and to China — when they end.
For anyone who visited the workers’ paradise when it was still the land of Mao suits and communes, trying to reconcile that China to the one that young élites live in today is disorienting. When I first visited China in 1981, I went to the People’s Park in Shanghai with two traveling companions. Our obligatory Foreign Ministry "guide" ushered us through a special gate reserved for "foreign friends." A knot of young Chinese had gathered outside. As we passed, a few made loud comments about the unfairness of having parts of the People’s Park reserved only for foreigners. One of my companions, a Mandarin speaker, agreed volubly in Chinese. Immediately a group of young Chinese men and women surrounded us and peppered us with questions that mixed naiveté and aspiration: Are there still slaves in America? Where did you learn to speak Chinese? Do all American families really have three cars? Can you help me go to America?
That discussion took place 25 years ago, the span usually allotted to a single generation. The naive, wary Chinese I met that day could be the parents of the group gathered for the seafood feast in Beijing. But there is almost nothing about the appearance, attitudes, life experience, education or dreams for the future that those young people in the Shanghai People’s Park share with the likes of Vicky and her friends.
The most obvious change is demographic. Because of China’s one-child policy, instituted in 1978, this is the first generation in the world’s history in which a majority are single children, a group whose solipsistic tendencies have been further encouraged by a growing obsession with consumerism, the Internet and video games. At the same time, today’s young Chinese are better educated and more worldly than their predecessors. Whereas the so-called Lost Generation that grew up in the Cultural Revolution often struggled to finish high school, today around a quarter of Chinese in their 20s have attended college. The country’s opening to the West has allowed many more of its citizens to satisfy their curiosity about the world: some 37 million will travel overseas in 2007. In the next decade, there will be more Chinese tourists traveling the globe than the combined total of those originating in the U.S. and Europe. Rather than fueling restlessness among
the Me generation, however, the ease of travel seems to provide more evidence that the benefits of globalization can be had without radical change.
There’s another reason for the lack of political ferment: it’s exhausting. Like anyone else, members of the Me generation are shaped by their experiences and those of their families. When their parents talk about the Great Leap Forward (a disastrous Mao campaign in the late 1950s that left 20 million to 30 million dead of starvation) and the subsequent chaos of the Cultural Revolution, they mostly tell horror stories that would put anyone off politics forever. That chapter in Chinese history, which officially ended with Mao’s death in 1976, is ancient history to today’s young élites. They have known little but peace and an ever increasing economic boom. "We have so much bigger a desire for everything than [our parents]," says Maria Zhang, 27. "And the more we eat, the more we taste and see, the more we want."
One event that the Me generation does remember is the crackdown on student activists in Tiananmen Square in 1989. But to young Chinese like Maria and Vicky, the Tiananmen protests are less a source of inspiration than an admonishment. Were popular uprisings like Tiananmen allowed to continue, Vicky believes, they would have provoked a counterreaction by conservative forces and led to a return to fortress China: no more iPods, overseas shopping trips or snowboarding weekends. "I think that the students meant well," says Vicky, who was 11 at the time and has only vague memories of what happened. But the crackdown that ended the demonstrations "certainly was needed."
Vicky embodies the shift in the priorities of young Chinese. She’s a purposeful, 29-year-old actuary who rarely smiles but loves nothing better than a party. She and her friends meet so regularly for dinner and at bars that she says she never eats at home anymore. As the pictures on her blog attest, they also throw regular theme parties to mark holidays like Halloween and Christmas, and last year took a holiday to Egypt.
Encouraged by her new boyfriend Wang Ning, a keen snowboarder, Vicky decided earlier this year to take up the sport as well. To prime for it, she went to a mall in south Beijing that specializes in pricey, imported skiing gear. She chose a gleaming new snowboard made by the Colorado company Never Summer, emblazoned with colorful, psychedelic paintings of butterflies. Along with gloves, goggles and other paraphernalia, the new gear set her back about $700. When asked about the wisdom of spending a small fortune on equipment for a sport she may never take to, she says, "I believe you have to be fully prepared and equipped before you decide to start a new hobby." Besides, she adds, "even if I don’t like skiing, think how nice [the gear] will look in the hallway of my apartment. Guests won’t know that I don’t use it." Vicky smiles to signal she’s joking. But she’s dead serious when she explains, over coffee at Starbucks, her lack of interest in politics. "It’s because our life is pretty good. I care about my rights when it comes to the quality of a waitress in a restaurant or a product I buy. When it comes to democracy and all that, well ..." She shrugs expressively and takes a sip of her latte. "That doesn’t play a role in my life."
People like Vicky and her friends represent the leading edge, the trailblazers for a huge mass of young, eagerly aspirant consumers. All over China, young professionals like these banter about
