Emily and Madison were having a great time on their field trip. After a morning at the science museum
they went to their favorite fast food place. Emily got her food first. When Madison sat down next to her,
Emily couldn't believe her eyes. Madison had two hamburgers, three containers of French fries, an apple
pie, a soda, and a shake on her tray.
"Why do you have so much food?" Emily asked. "I'm so tired of being really skinny (极瘦的)," Madison
said,"so I've decided to eat lots of food and try to gain weight."
Trying to gain weight by stuffing (塞, 填) yourself with extra calories like Madison did is a bad idea. It
can make you sick if you're naturally short or thin- so just listen to your appetite (胃口) and eat only as
much as your body tells you to. Once in a while, a health problem can keep a kid from gaining weight. The
kid usually goes to a specialist who can check things out, or to a registered dietitian (饮食学家) who has
lots of tips on how to eat well. But most of the time, thin kids don't need to see a doctor or go on a special
diet.
Here's another surprise. Kids who are thin need to exercise. A lot of people use exercise to keep their
weight under control or to lose weight. But exercise serves many other purposes, too. Moving around helps
you develop important skills and helps your body get stronger. And unless a kid has gone through puberty
(青春期), weight-lifting won't build bigger muscles. It also could hurt bones, joints, and muscles.
You want to help your body, not hurt it. Treat it right and you'll grow and develop just the way you
should.
