There is a real joke.When some guys were talking heatedly about “F4”in the living room, the father came in and interrupted: “Which is more powerful, F-4 or F-16?” The boys burst into laughter.Obviously, the father took F4 for a type of fighter plane.He didn’t know that F4 is a pop group extremely popular among young people these two years.
Then what does the “F” in F4 stand for? Fever or fortune? It is certainly not “failure” for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these 4 stars from the popular drama Meteor Garden 《流星花园》,who took the island by storm during their brief visit here.For sure, they look good.Each of them being 1.80 meters tall, they are all very popular throughout the world.
But what exactly is the appeal of these 4 young guys? Nobody can tell.Maybe some of young students are just following the fashion.Then why is Meteor Garden stopped from being shown on TV in China? Well, some young people just could not agree.In fact, students are not too young to tell black from white.And they must be clear that every coin has two sides.While they find interest in F4, they must be clear what bad that drama will do us.

Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations(工业国) that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly.Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.So they are called “diseases of civilization (文明)”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks (心脏病)and strokes(中风)are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol(酒精) or tobacco, probably none.Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals.They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits.They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods.We eat six times more salt than stone-age people.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein(蛋白质)and much less vitamin C.

If I were a boy again, I would practise my perseverance(毅力) more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer(战胜)darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius(天赋)in its results. If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention would become part of our life if we began early enough. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation(培养)of the memory. I would strengthen that skill by every possible way, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; But memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
