Ⅴ. 阅读对话，完成练习。
Emma: Hi, Leo! Long time no see. You look so energetic!
Leo: Thanks, Emma! Yes, I've made some big changes. I used to have a very unhealthy lifestyle.
Emma: Really? What did you use to do?
Leo: Well, I used to stay up very late every night playing video games. I always felt tired the next day. Now, I go to bed before 10 p.m. and feel great in the morning.
Emma: That's a good habit. What about food?
Leo: Oh, that's the biggest change. I used to drink soda with every meal and hardly ate vegetables. Now, I mainly drink water and have a balanced diet. I also used to order takeaways almost daily, but now I cook healthy meals at home.
Emma: Impressive! How do you stay active?
Leo: I used to take the bus everywhere, even for short distances. Now, I either walk or cycle. On weekends, I go hiking. It's amazing how these small changes have made me feel like a new person!
