三、 對(duì)話演練

Zhang： Mr. Lewis， how do you understand“health”？ Lewis： Health is the condition of being sound in body， mind， or spirit. I think mental health is as important as physical health， or rather， physical health depends on moral health. Numerous studies suggest that people with a positive outlook on life suffer far less sickness than those who see the world in negative terms.

Smith： I agree. In this modern society， we are quite likely to develop mental illness of one kind or another.

Zhang： Yes. In fact， anyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long period.

Lewis： However， we cannot get rid of stress in our life， and sometimes we need it if we want to achieve our goals. What we can do is to form some healthy habits to ease off the pressure of life.

Zhang： There is a Chinese saying， “Smile and you will be ten years younger than you are.”

Smith： The British would say， “Laugh and the world will laugh with you.”

Lewis： I? share? your? belief? that? laughing promotes health. I still believe that “Early to bed， early to rise， makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise.” Ill have to go to bed now.

Zhang： No wonder you are so wise.
