At that time, Luo noticed that environmental issues were becoming more serious, but little action was being taken3.(address)the situation.She decided to join environmental protection efforts,so that future generations may also enjoy nature.
Luo's main work focuses4.the Million Forest project, aiming to plant 1 million trees to help manage the problem of desertification around China's fourth-largest desert.
So far the project5. (bring) about many benefits to the local communities. Without the efforts of CGF and the Million Forest project, many locals6. (force) to leave their homes as eco-refugees(生态难民).Luo's project has also provided jobs to local residents. In addition to being paid to help plant the trees,locals can also profit from selling fruit 7. (produce)by the trees. Eco-tourism has also flourished (蓬勃发展)because of these green spaces.
Reflecting on Million Forest, Luo had a lot to say. She says she learned a lot from8.project. "Nature has its own rhythm and wisdom," she said." We should respect 9.”
Although her project helps with reforestation efforts, the team discovered that it was just as important to change people's attitudes. Million Forest changed its slogan to, "Plant a tree in your heart." Luo said, "It's not possible for you to plant a tree every day, but10. you have a tree in your heart, you can take care of the whole environment...If we make the effort to change the inside, we can change the outside world."

Don't judge a book by its cover. We have heard that advice over and over again. And it makes sense. Why should we judge someone who is overweight simply by how they look? It has nothing to do with them as a person, and it says nothing about all they have achieved in life.
1.We should not judge them as healthy simply because they are thin.
We care so much about weight that we think those who succeed in keeping a "healthy weight" must be healthy.
Many studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and even death. 2. Some studies just look at pounds. Some use body mass index(BMI) which includes both height and weight measurements. But neither one says anything about overall health for sure.
In some studies, a person's fitness has been shown to be more important than overall weight.
That means those at "normal" weight, but below average fitness could be at higher risk than fitter and heavier people.3.
If you are thin and want to know if your health may be at risk, whole body MRIs (磁共振成像)can tell you if you are a TOFI (thin on the outside, fat on the inside). This is thought to increase your health risk even if you have a perfect body weight. 4. Rather, creating and keeping healthy lifestyle habits should be the goal.
Start now and you will be on your way to improving your overall health. 5.But even if it doesn't, rest assured you are still improving your health and your life.
A.The same holds true for thin people.
B.Weight loss will usually naturally follow.
C.The article mainly talks about people in Australia.
D.So weight loss should not be what we always dream of.
E.How many times do you say, "She looks great! Nice and thin!"?
F.But the problem lies with how we can know we are overweight.
G.So there is no such thing as healthy weight, only healthy lifestyles.
Sit still. It's the rule of every classroom. But that is changing as evidence builds that taking brief activity breaks during the day helps children learn and be more attentive in class, and a growing number of programs designed to promote movement are being adopted in schools. "We need to recognize that children are movement-based," said Brian Gatens, the superintendent of schools in Emerson, N.J." In schools, we sometimes are pushing against human nature in asking them to sit still and be quiet all the time.We fall into this trap that if kids are at their desks with their heads down and are silent and writing, we think they are learning," Mr. Gatens added. "But what we have found is that the active time used to energize your brain makes all those still moments better, or more productive."
A 2013 report from the Institute of Medicine concluded that children who are more active show greater attention, have faster cognitive processing speed and perform better on standardized academic tests than children who are less active. And a study released in January by Lund University in Sweden shows that students, especially boys, who had daily physical education, did better in school.
"Daily physical activity is an opportunity for the average school to become a high-performing school," said Jesper Fritz, a doctoral student at Lund University and physician at the Skane University Hospital in Malmo who was the study's lead author.
"Activity helps the brain in so many ways," said James F.Sallis, a professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California, San Diego, who has done research on the association between activity breaks and classroom behavior."Activity stimulates more blood vessels in the brain to support more brain cells.And there is evidence that active kids do better on standardized tests and pay attention more in school." "Plus," he added," it makes kids want to come to school more-it's fun to do these activities."
But not all districts are embracing the trend of movement breaks. "The bottom line is that with only six and a half hours during the day, our priority is academics," said Tom Hernandez, the director of community relations for the Plainfield School District in Illinois, about 40 miles southwest of Chicago. He said that under state law, the schools provide daily physical education classes and that teachers in the district find ways to give students time during the day to refresh and recharge.
"Kids aren't meant to sit still all day and take in information," said Steve Boyle, one of the co-founders of the National Association of Physical Literacy, which aims to bring movement into schools." Adults aren't either."
