We’re sitting too much and it’s dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be.

Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day — anywhere, even at the workplace — to improve your health.

Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.

This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.

Stand up and move around the office once every 60 — 90 minutes.

When you’re busy with work, it’s easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind(提醒) you to stand up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.

Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.

Go to your co-worker’s office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.

Use your lunch break to move around outside.

So many Americans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage of(利用) this time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make you keep a clear mind.

Too many Americans watch too much television. Americans maybe watch more TV than any other people in the world. This is not a good thing. Because of TV, Americans are getting too heavy and spend less time with their friends.

Many American students watch TV between twenty and sixty hours a week! That is very bad for their study. When they watch too much TV, they have less time for exercise, their study and sleep. Most people who watch a lot of TV eat food at the same time. This is very bad because they eat too much and become too heavy.

It is better to watch just a little bit of TV a day. Thirty minutes to one hour is enough. If you have much free time, it is a good idea to read a book, play sports or spend time with your friends and families. Studying is also a good way to spend your free time.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正（T)误（F)。

1.Americans watch too little TV.

2.Watching too much TV is good for our study.

3.If we watch too much TV, we’ll have less time for exercise, study and sleep.

4.When you want to watch TV, thirty minutes to one hour a day is enough.
