10、aving a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live
11、without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the

18、ed out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years.A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive ef
19、fects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.“These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regularly
20、through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.”Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse i
21、s the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting.”His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than
22、non-exercised mice.Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some individuals.“If
23、 we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increase in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.9.

When we spend too much time on smart phones, we dont have time to communicate face to face with our friends or family, and our life, studies and work will be badly affected.In my opinion, we should avoid using smart phones too much except for the purpose of learning. Meanwhile, its necessary for us to take part in more outdoor activities.
