    It is the 22nd century(世纪) and it is very popular to change people's bodies.

    Mr. Smith decided to change his body. He changed his big nose to a small one, and his old and gray hair to short and blond hair, He also bought new green eyes, new ears, new hands, new arms, new knees and new feet. Mrs. Smith was happy because Mr. Smith's new feet didn't smell as bad as his old feet.

    However, something bad happened. One morning, Mr. Smith woke up and his new nose didn't work. The next morning he couldn't hear anything. Then his new blond hair went gray, and his new knees didn't move. And finally he could see nothing with his green eyes.

    It was really terrible. Mr. Smith wanted his old body back. However, he had to pay 100, 000 dollars for his old body.

    It was expensive but Mr. Smith still got his own body back. He would never follow the fashion.

    Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

    In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!

    No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.

    The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.

    False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.

    Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don't have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.

    Lang Lang was born in Shenyang. He is a  (著名的) pianist now, In 2018, Lang Lang will have two concerts in China. Many people are planning to go there. Here is his  (经历).
