【推荐1】Take the wheel of an electric vehicle and prepare to be amazed. The latest technology is there, with tablet-like screens instead of old-fashioned switches. Add falling price which makes owning and running many electric vehicles (short for EV)as cheap as fossil-fuel alternatives, and the open road signals. Above all, the instant acceleration of battery power makes driving easy and exciting.
EV should be recharged roughly every 250 miles. When you do find a public charging point, it is sometimes inaccessible, which causes “range anxiety”. It is one of the main reasons drivers give for not buying an EV. Who might install them? Drivers will need a mix of fast "long distance" chargers installed near motorways and slower “top-up” chargers available in the car parks of shopping centers, restaurants and so on. Dedicated charging firms and carmakers are investing in infrastructure. Oil companies are putting chargers in petrol stations and buying charging companies.
Yet the charging business suffers from big problems. One is how to adjust between the planning authorities and grid firms. Another is the cost. To start with, profits may be difficult to attain because the networks will not at first be heavily used. A related risk is that the coverage will have gaps. And then there is the question of competing networks. Drivers should be able to switch from one to the other without having to sign up to them all.
What to do? Government is experimenting. As well as funding EV sales, many are throwing cash at public chargers. America's law sets aside $7.5 billion to create 500,000 public stations by 2030. Britain plans to require new building to install chargers. Yet the problem of coverage and convenience will remain.

【推荐2】Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.
1. Which snack is Not mentioned in the passage?| A．Fruits. | B．Yogurt. | C．Chips. | D．Ice cream. |
| A．Snacks are bad for our health. |
| B．We should keep eating until we are full. |

【推荐3】On your next trip, whether it be close to home or beyond, encourage family members to be aware of their senses. Here are five ways to deepen the day's experience and expand awareness.
1. What do you smell?
Campfires, freshly cut grass, a pine forest and sweet-smelling rose gardens all offer an opportunity to smell something special. Talk with the kids about which smells make them want to stick around and which they are eager to pass by. Do certain smells call up a memory from a previous experience? Notice how different members of your family respond.
2. What do you hear?
While out and about, encourage the kids to close their eyes and tune in. Is that the whistle of a train in the distance? Do you hear a horse clip-clopping down the trail or the crying of an ow(猫头鹰)? Listen to the traffic noise in the city, waves crashing on a rocky shoreline or an unfamiliar bird singing in the trees.
3. How does it feel?
Particularly in these changing times, leaving the comfort of home can stimulate a range of emotions extending from excitement and expectation to anxiety and uncertainty.
How might your crew react to the dampness of a coastal town or the dry air of the Sonoran Desert? Who feels tired? Or hungry? Or even homesick? Talk about it.
4. May I touch?
From petting zoos and tide pools to horse farms and turtle shelters, travel has historically offered families the opportunity to reach for the unexpected. Today, many of those rules have changed. Before you head out, discuss your safety rules. COVID concerns aside, colorful coral and certain green, leafy plants might look interesting, but close contact isn't advised.
5. Can I taste it?
While we've been staying home, many families have used the time to encourage kids to expand their food range. It's a good time to talk about the origins of different ingredients and why many are unique to specific regions of the world. Seek out the websites of cities, countries or resorts you might like to visit. Many are offering directions that will enable you to explore the food and drink of destinations around the world. From curry to barbecue sauce, there is a story to accompany every flavor you'll sample.
