Passage 2

（4）If you are a young college student, most of your concerns about your health and happiness in life are probably focused on the present. Basically, you want to feel good physically, mentally, and emotionally now.（年轻人更关注自己目前的健康状况，并不会为将来的健康状况及自己的寿命担忧。）You probably don't spend much time worrying about the distant future, such as whether you will develop heart disease, or cancer, how you will take care of yourself in your retirement years, or how long you are going to live. Such thoughts may have crossed your mind once in a while. However, if you are in your thirties, forties, fifties, or older, such health-related thoughts are likely to become increasingly important to you. Regardless of your age，you can make a number of important changes in your current lifestyle. That will help you feel better physically and mentally.（5）Recently researchers have found that，even in late adulthood， exercise，strength training with weights，and rational diet can help elderly individuals significantly improve their health and add happiness to their life.（专家发现，锻炼、力量训练及合理的胜食能够有效改善健康状况，但没说吃得越好越健康。）（6）We know much more about preventive health today than our parents 愈the past. We have the opportunity to avoid some of health problems that have troubled them.（我们比父辈们了解更多的疾病防御知识，这样一来便能预防很多以前曾经困扰他们的疾病，这也有利于提高我们后代的身体健康状况。）And this new knowledge can be transmitted to our children to help them become healthier than our generation.
