We all want a long and happy life?Yes?
I'd like you to write me a short essay of 500 words or less,about what you find the most surprising about what the doctor has to say.
The doctor's article is as follows:
Aging well
Riding the crest of the first wave of baby boomers,I find that my latest interests and concerns will soon become the focus of many others.So my current preoccupation with maintaining my health well into the retirement years is likely to resonate for a growing number of people.It's not that I'm afraid of dying,I don't think I am,but I dread getting older and being sick,miserable,or a burden to others.
The "Serenity Prayer" offers a practical approach to this problem:"God,grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,the courage to change the things I can,and the wisdom to know the difference." So what do we have to accept and what can we change if we want to increase our chances of enjoying life while growing old?
Common health problems
The big ones are cardiovascular disease including heart attack and stroke,osteoporosis and fractures,dementia,depression,and some cancers.The greatest single influencing factor for healthy longevity is genetics,and we're pretty much stuck with the hand we've been dealt.But by making a few simple lifestyle modifications,we can significantly reduce some risks for most of these conditions.
People are bio-psycho-social organisms.Our needs are not only physical,biochemical,and nutritional,but also social and spiritual.If we neglect our social,spiritual,and psychological needs we harm the physical organism.By changing how and what we think,through talking therapy,such as cognitive therapy,we can bring about demonstrable changes in the biochemistry of our brains - elevating serotonin levels and decreasing depression.By exercising we reduce the risk heart disease and stroke through altering levels of serum cholesterol and developing collateral coronary circulation while increasing brain levels of essential neurotransmitters.By continuing to use and challenge our brains,the functions and probably the corresponding structures of this most important organ are preserved.Participation in support groups has been shown to increase both quality and quantity of life in people with terminal illnesses.Dr.Randolph Byrd,in a randomized,prospective study on the effect of prayer on coronary care unit patients,reported a significant positive health effect.
Exercise
Although 30 minutes exercise 3 or 4 times per week is optimal,recent studies have shown that women who walk as little as an hour per week cut the risk of heart disease in half.
Nutrition and weight
Social
Prayer and meditation
Stress
限于篇幅,最后几项简略写了标题,都是常见的那些东西,
不是翻译……是按照老师的要求写一篇英语作文……谢谢了……
就是这个:I'd like you to write me a short essay of 500 words or less,about what you find the most surprising about what the doctor has to say.

这个还是要自己写.小提示一下:
文章的第一段作者就引出了话题,提出了他所面临的,同时也是一个普遍性的
(FOCUS OF)问题:衰老、疾病、痛苦、累及他人的负担等关于健康的问题.
作者一开始也说自己不怕死亡,但当务之急是要保持建康,以安享晚年.之后
作者就转切入正题.提出了一些保持健康的方法.特别是对于由于心理因素造
成的疾病,应该如何对待与解决.
围绕着作者的这话题写应该不难吧?
-----现今,社会节奏加快、越来越复杂,很多人由于少运动、工作压力、心理
上的压抑等因素,处于亚健康状态.疾病生理上的问题固然重要,但心理方面
的因素更不能忽视.这个问题要求人们引起足够的重视.
