Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
“A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.”
In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not.
“The best time to exercise is early in the morning.”
No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.
“If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.”
The fact is that you must have some water during breaks (休息时间) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired.
“Exercising every day is quite important.”
Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for our health. You need to give your body a day of rest.

My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the age of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me present, and sat me on his knees, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence (沉默) once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, the work that was not the best that boy could do, my grandfather picked up the boy’s book and threw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back first in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school, from the man I saw day by day in his own home.
