As we began our task,Mr.Johnson turned on the CD player.The lively music made the roomfeel like a party.Some of us started singing along with the music,others were dancing around theirdesks while they were cleaning them out.Even Mr.Johnson showed us a few dance steps,makingeveryone laugh heartily.After we finished cleaning,someone asked,“When is break time?”Mr.Johnson took out some balls and started playing with them.Suddenly,he let the balls drop and said,“Break time starts...now!”

Just as we were about to rush out,our headmaster,Mrs.Miller,appeared at the door.“Mr.Johnson!”she cried out.A moment of silence fell over the room as we thought,“Mr.Johnson mightbe in trouble.”However,to our surprise,Mrs.Miller couldn't help but laugh at the sight and left usto enjoy our break.

During break time,Mr.Johnson surprised us with another treat.He went to the cafe and cameback with ice creams for everyone.We all cheered for him!

Have you ever thought about what's more important,looking fashionable or feeling comfortable?You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even goto extremes to follow fashion.But we should remember:being fashionable isn't everything.It's more important to be healthy.

Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good.So,they start extremediets that are not good for their health.They might not eat meals or eat too little,which can makethem feel sick.Is it a healthy way to live?

Also,many girls wear shoes with very high heels.They might think high heels make them looktaller.But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably,and peopleare more likely to fall down.Some even wear tight(紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation(循环)making it hard to breathe.Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?

Besides,some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color.Thematerial they use is usually harmful to their health.To make their hair straight or curly,they alsouse tools that are hot enough to burn their hair.But using these tools too often or at very hightemperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt.Is it really worth it to risk our health,spending somuch time and money?

So let's rethink what's really important.Is it fashion or is it our well-being?Clothes orhairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character.Instead of spending a lot of timechoosing clothes,we could use that time to do fun things with friends.And instead of followingextreme diets,let's eat properly and exercise regularly.Remember,your worth is not decided byyour appearance,but by who you are as a person.

25.What does the underlined word“well-being”in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Growth. B.Health. C.Warmth. D.Truth.

26.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

D
