One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my brother came in. He placed his beef next to my (1) one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to(2); you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out laughing.

Unpleasant(3)on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were(4), and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore(5)until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer(6)in long pants.

But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she(7)everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so(8)and happy in her own skin. I(9)as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our(10)are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, (11)blood to every cell, blinking and walking.

Walking! I was suddenly(12)how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack(13)working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs(14) because I had (15) someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs(16) the sun and feel the breeze.

The next time anyone comments on your body in a(17)way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see(18) you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking (19)else.” That’s Ragen’s own(20) , but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.

America is a country on the move. In unheard-of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active. It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of' doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running hasleveled offin recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer- forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.
