Young people should be enjoying the best time of their lives, but those in their twenties and thirties
are in worse health than their parents, a British survey has found.
Drinking too much, eating fast food and being short of exercise all have a bad influence on young
people. As a result, the young are more likely (可能的) to have headaches, catch colds or become
stressed than their parents.
According to the survey, those aged between 18 and 34 are three times more likely to catch colds
than the older people. The following are the main reasons:
The old people usually eat more healthily. More than four in ten old people eat five or more portions (份) of fruit or vegetables a day. It"s two times the number of the young men and women. Six in ten old
people cook their own meals every day, compared to less than one third of the young people. Almost
10% of the young people admit (承认) that they eat fast food for every meal and 2% say they only eat
at restaurants.
The old people are also more likely to take a lot of exercise. 12% of them spend at least 30 minutes
doing exercise each day. They are healthier. However, only 9% of the young do so.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy, because they feel heavy pressures from
theirparents. Most students are always told to study hard so that they can live a wonderful life. However,
many of the students have tried very hard at school but have failed their exams. These students feel sad,
and they don"t want to go to school anymore. They easily become dropouts (辍学者). Such students
may join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime (犯罪).
Though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way.
Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers" job to help their
children. A lot of parents also send their children to other schools in evenings or on weekends, but these
only help the students to pass their exams and never teach the students how to understand life and the
world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything, from the students" hair to their clothes and
the things in their schoolbags. Many child psychologists now think that the rules are too strict and harmful (有伤害的) to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them
how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, or how to show love for others, even for their
parents.
