Research suggests that at least 64% of people now spend up to four hours daily of spare time in front of a screen. Just as TV watching has been linked to higher chances of being fat and getting diseases, this extra sedentary time is bad news for our health.

1. Choose outdoor activities over technology

When you’re at home, make it a rule that you can’t be online if the sun is shining. Instead, you have to go for a walk, ride a bike, swim or get some other kind of healthy physical activity for at least an hour before you can pull out your phone or tablet, or take a seat at the computer. This rule should be fit for everyone in your family.

2. Limit social media use

Social networks have changed computer and mobile use for people of all ages. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Avoid aimless browsing (浏览) and give your time online a purpose: research holidays or catch up on the news of the day. Then log off.

3. Save time for reading

Challenge yourself to read at least 30 pages of a great book before you check your computer or mobile phone. Pick the right reading material and you’ll soon find you’ve discovered an enjoyable pastime.

4. Create projects for yourself

It’s amazing how much you can achieve when you’re not glued to (长时间盯着) a screen. Do a list of one-hour evening projects. Some suggestions are organizing kitchen cupboards, cleaning your bedroom. Then try to do one each evening.

上海市2019年中考英语二模汇编：首字母填空

上海市2019年中考二英二模汇编：首字母填空长宁 It is often said that when people go to a different country for the first time they experience culture shock’ because e___81___ is so different: the language, the food, the landscape, the social customs and lots of others! When I first set foot in the City of Leeds, England, I found myself in a c___82___ different culture from that of my own city, Guangzhou. For the first few days of my stay in Leeds I really knew about this so-called ‘culture shock’. One problem I had was with the food. Obviously Chinese people are not used to the t___83___ of British food, but mentally I was prepared for that ‘shock’. The problem I actually had was with the names of the different types of food. When I went to the university canteen it was very embarrassing: When the woman behind the counter asked me what I wanted, all I could do was to p___84___ and say ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that’. Something else which was different was the countryside. When I was sitting on the bus heading from Manchester International Airport towards Leeds, I saw through the window large f___85___ of green grass on either side of the motorway. There were no crops but green grass and beautiful trees all the way. Now and then , I could see some sheep or horses grazing（吃草）in a free way in the vast green areas. What a beautiful landscape! You probably wouldn’t see such a scene in China c___86___ in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia because we Chinese use every piece of land to grow crops. As you know, China has the largest population in the world but very I___87___ agricultural land which supports about one fifth of the world’s population. We can’t afford to leave large areas of rich land unused. I have given some examples of ‘culture o shock’, but after a few days I got over this and rea lly enjoyed my stay in England. 杨浦 I recently took part in a very exciting five-week trip for teenagers, to volunteer at an international wildlife study centre, off the coast of a country far from where I live. The a___81___ of the center was to help protect wildlife. So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre. We were w___82___ by staff about our accommodation（食宿）before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden huts where we would live. They were quite b___83___: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadn’t eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me. The day after our arrival, we started our t___84___-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a___85___ we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential. Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with my‘diving buddy’，collecting data on the fish in the area. I s___86___ looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water with these amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didn’t seem at all w___87___ about us, and just watched us in an
