Do you have lunch at school? Do you like having lunch at school? “School dinners”（that means “lunch”）is a hot topic in the UK these days.
A typical school dinner costs about two pounds (about 17 yuan) a day for a secondary pupil in the UK. Parents usually need to pay for the typical school dinner in advance online. There is usually a main course, a dessert and a drink. And dinners must include food groups such as fruit and vegetables, protein and carbohydrate(碳水化合物).
Martha Payne, from Scotland, started a blog called Neverseconds about her school dinners when she was just nine years old. She posted photographs of her lunch every day and gave the food a grade out of ten.
Now, more than a third of British school pupils have school dinner. Some take a packed lunch, prepared at home. Others either have lunch at home or eat at nearby take-away restaurants.
There are also many plans to examine school dinners in the UK and look at ways to make them better. Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent started Leon, a chain of restaurants which sell healthy fast food. The British government has asked the two restaurant owners to collect information about school dinners and see how they can be improved.

【推荐1】College students often hear about the “freshman fifteen”. What does it mean? You may wonder.
It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain (获得) in their first year of college.
Many young men and women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate (比率), how long will they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.
And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because it’s the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their own lives. They may choose to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foods high in fat. After all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just … busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax their mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with.
This may be short-lived (短暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked (忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years.

Josh: Really!Oh yes, on Monday. Well, what can I have? I’d like pasta and sauce.

You ‘ve had two pastry dishes this week - a meat pie and a pizza. You can have vegetables or salad. The meatballs are nice today.
Josh: All right. I’ll have meatballs and steamed vegetables. I hope they’re tasty.
Dinner lady: They’re good for you!
Josh: I miss my chips They’re my favorite. I used to have them every day . Before these new rules came in.
Dinner lady: Well, that’s why these rules were brought in. Too many children were eating junk food, especially chips. Children like chips, but they aren’t a healthy choice.
Josh:I’ll have an apple juice with that, please.
Dinner lady: OK, but its only 150 ml. You aren’t allowed more than that as juice has sugar
in it. The new rules encourage you to drink water. No soft drinks at all.
Students cannot have more than two portions (价额)a week of food that has been deep-fired.They must have at least three different fruits and three different vegetables every week. Whole grains such as brown bread are to be given,instead of "white" grains.
