Question

What should healthy people look like? One hundred middle school students in Shanghai can show you the answer.

Shanghai has just picked its 100 healthier children. These children were chosen from 60, 000 school students. They are not too fat, nor too thin. They see and hear clearly. They look happy and lively. They stood out not for being top students, but for being healthier both in body and mind.

“We want children to have more healthy habits(習慣). Many children care more about homework than their health,” said Wang Zhangxiong, a Shanghai education officer.

It took five months to choose the healthiest hundred. First, students’ eyesight, hearing and teeth were checked. Then there was a hard test of their minds and bodies. On November 19, 2004, these children got together at Shanghai Weiyu Junior Middle School to tell stories about how they keep fit. Many say doing sports and having good habits are important. Hu Mushuang, 13, practices taekwondo（跆拳道） twice every week for a year. “I used to be a weak girl,” she said. “But doing taekwondo every day gives me a light body and makes me happy.” Xu Li has strong, white teeth. She is only nine years old but has already made many TV adverts（廣告）for toothpaste. Xu knows good ways to keep your teeth healthy. “Have milk instead of sweets or junk food,” she said. “Brush your teeth twice every day.” Having a healthy body is not all you need.

Ni Jiaxian, a Junior 2 girl, says that making friends with boys helps one grow. “Girls shouldn’t be shy with boys,” she said. “Friendship with them makes you braver and cleverer.”
