“Unless we make changes, these bad habits are going to make us very sick,” said William Higham, the lead writer of the study. “So don’t let Emma go to waste. Take her as a warning.

He put all the presents he had bought into his bag, but decided to get a fresh rose for Bella when he was closer to home. On his journey home, a terrible storm came. Luckily, the man found a place to shelter (躲避). He ran to the door. To his surprise, it was open and it seemed nobody was in. It looked warm and welcoming. So he went in.

As we all know, spending a long time sitting at a desk is bad for our health. However, few people think about what the results of it will be. If in 20 years, office workers do look like this life-size (与真人一样大小的) model, the future doesn’t seem so bright.

But if we don’t do something, such as moving more, having the right posture (姿势) or taking regular (常规的) breaks, there’s no doubt (疑问) that our world will be full of Emmas.
“Unless we make changes, these bad habits are going to make us very sick,” said William Higham, the lead writer of the study. “So don’t let Emma go to waste. Take her as a warning.

【导语】本文是记叙文。通过叙述两个朋友在森林中遇到熊的故事,告诉我们一个道理:患难见真情。
