Before going back to work one afternoon, Policeman Li took a big bite out of the red apple on his desk. He had no time to eat his lunch that day. He was busy dealing with a traffic accident report.

It seemed that a man named Wang Jie had run a red light, running into another person’s car. But he said that the light had been green when he drove across the crossing.

Li decided to question Wang Jie again. Maybe he could get some more information about the accident. This time Wang Jie still insisted（坚持） that the light was green when he drove across the crossing. Li had no reason to doubt what Wang Jie said. He told Wang Jie that he was free to go.

“Thank you so much, Policeman Li By the way, that green apple on your desk looks delicious! I hope you enjoy it!” Wang Jie said with a smile.

Li stopped for a moment. “Wait. Sit back down. I think we need to talk some more.”

When Wang Jie described Li’s red apple as being green, Li realized that Wang Jie must have run a red light.

More children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children were overweight, according to the National Health Commission（NHC）.

Being too fat is bad for children’s health. According to the World Health Organization （WHO）, overweight children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes（糖尿病）at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of earlier death.

On Oct 23rd, the NHC, together with five other national departments, worked out a plan. The plan aims to reduce the growth of fatness among children aged 0—18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported.

Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices（电子产品）could also be a cause.

According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical（躯体上的）activity. School students should have at least three hours of active physical activity each week.

Parents should reduce their children’s use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.

Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste, according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization（联合国粮农组织）. Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell-by date, while families throw away food that they can’t finish eating.

The world’s first food bank was founded in the US in 1967. Some people and stores donated （捐赠）extra food to the bank. People could take the food home there if they didn’t have money to buy any for themselves. In Shanghai, there is a “shared fridge” in some communities. It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell-by date is still safe to eat. They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes. You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary. If you don’t want to spend money, you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

What else can we do to stop food waste? The answer is simply buying less food.

My father didn’t know how to show love. He went to work every day. He often blamed（责备）me when I had made mistakes.

Once I broke my leg, my mother held me in her arms all the way to the hospital. My father pulled the car right up to the doors of the hospital. He looked really anxious（焦急的）.

When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and my mother ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was mad and I wanted to show him that I could ride it myself.

When I went to college, my mother wrote letters to me. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now because I wasn’t playing football in it. Whenever I called home, he acted as he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother. ”

All my life he said, “Where are you going? What time are you coming home? ”Father's love is as great as a mountain, people often say. Didn’t I realize his love?
