MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original (原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person's brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.

【推荐1】Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps is sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大脑) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

【推荐2】Today, people want to be in good health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy (能量). In fact, the best food before games should have carbohydrates (碳水化合物). You can have food like potatoes, bread, or bananas. But chicken and meat are not the best before you do sports.
The best time to exercise is early in the morning. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be good for you. In afternoon or evening is OK for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed (固定的) time for you to exercise.
If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired. When you exercise, you must have some water during breaks. And after exercising, you must have much water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired.
Exercising every day is quite important. Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for your health. You need to give your body a day of rest.

【推荐1】Outside, it's a cold winter's day. Inside a large shopping center, people are hanging around. But then, without warning, a pop song starts to play loudly. A teenager boy walks lazily to the center of the open space, and dances crazily to the music. He's joined by two of his friends, then some of the old people. In a few seconds, more than sixty people are dancing to the music - all in time and all in step. At first, onlookers (旁观者) are puzzled, and then they start smiling and clapping. They now know what they're seeing : a flash mob (快闪) .
According to Wikipedia, the term "flash mob" was created by Bill Wasik, an editor at Harper's Magazine, in 2003. In a year, the phrase had entered the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. Since then , hundreds - possibly thousands - of flash mobs have been performed around the world, in almost every kind of public space imaginable!
Each flash mob has its own style, but most flash mobs follow a similar formula (方案). Often, the organizers search for willing participants (参与者) using social media. Instructions and dance moves are given through the Internet. There are usually several rehearsals (排练) before the big day.
While it's happening, a few lucky passers-by watch it live. Most people who watch it, however, will see it later online. Some of the most popular flash mobs on YouTube have been watched more than 10 million times. A famous example is MP3 Experiment Eight, a flash mob that took place in New York City in July 2011 with over 3 ,500 participants. This event was different from normal flash mobs in that much of it was completely silent - and there were no rehearsals.
Flash mobs provide the participants, onlookers and online viewers with a lot of enjoyment and pleasure. For this reason alone, they're a modern, popular art form that should be celebrated.
1. Why does the author mention the Concise Oxford English Dictionary?| A．To disagree with Bill Wasik. |
| B．To show the rapid development of flash mobs. |
| C．To tell us the meaning of "flash mob". |
| D．To compare it with Wikipedia. |
| A．It was played online. | B．It was played with no sound. |
| C．It was the earliest flash mob. | D．It was most accepted by onlookers. |
| A．Supportive. | B．Hopeless. | C．Uncaring. | D．Doubtful. |
【推荐2】If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and one of the reasons is their bad eating habits. They like eating “junk food”. What is junk food? It is food which contains (包含) a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar.
It is true that eating too much junk food might be one of the reasons why the teenagers are overweight. However, unhealthy eating habits are the main reason. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. They just choose the food they like to eat. Scientists did a survey at one school. As is shown in the survey, over 60% of students don’t like vegetables, and more than 50% of them don’t eat fruit every day. They prefer to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar or fat. Parents are worried about their unhealthy eating habits. How can we have a healthy diet? Here are some suggestions from the doctors.
* Don’t eat too much junk food.
* Don’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
* Eat food with less fat, oil and sugar.
* Eat at least three kinds of vegetables and fruits every day.
1. What does the junk food contain?| A．Milk and yogurt. | B．Fruit and water. |

【推荐3】A live-streaming App that monitors (监控) students in classrooms in some middle schools has raised a lot of online discussion. It was reported that anyone who uses the App DingTalk could see inside classrooms. Some parents have praised the App for giving them the chance to monitor their children, while others are worried about privacy (隐私) problems. The newspaper Shanghai Star did a survey. Here are some replies they received.
| Zhang Xiaoru, 16 I strongly support this App. Nowadays, children play an important role in the whole family, and parents always want to care for their children, wherever they are. This new platform helps parents see what their children are doing in classes. It’s also a good way to make students behave themselves in school. |
| Du Yina, 15 I’m in favor of this app if parents get their children’s permission (准许) first. The App could help parents know children’s bad habits. It could also be used as a tool to prevent being hurt. However, parents should get their permission first to protect their privacy. |
| Zhao Xuehan, 16 I think this App is a bad idea. Schools should be a pleasant and relaxing place for students to study and play. But we will feel uncomfortable if cameras are watching us all the time. We should pay attention to our privacy. Our lives shouldn’t be watched by the public. |
| Zhang Liliang, 15 Any form of privacy invasion (侵犯) shouldn’t be allowed. Although some parents want to know more about their children, they should do it in a better way. Being under the eye of strangers is too dangerous. |
1. The live-streaming App can ________.

【推荐1】We all have to ask for favors（帮忙）sometimes. But it can be a difficult thing to do—even when you ask a good friend.

【推荐2】Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon(依靠) ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret(秘密) of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present(现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this, dancing or having sports, such as swimming and playing basketball. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help do some housework.
