Young people should be enjoying the best time of their lives, but those in their twenties and thirties are in worse health than their parents, a British survey has found.
Drinking too much, eating fast food and being short of exercise all have a bad influence on young people. As a result, the young are more likely (可能的) to have headaches, catch colds or become stressed than their parents.

The old people usually eat more healthily. More than four in ten old people eat five or more portions (份) of fruit or vegetables a day. I t’s two times the number of the young men and women.

When everything was done and the color returned to his sister’s face，his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid.

Most children talk to each other as they build things with these traditional toys. This type of toy also helps develop the skills that children need i n life.
