Michelle, a famous lady, has found that more than 25% students are too fat in her country. It is a very serious problem. So she starts a Health Program to deal with it. The Health Program is to reduce the number of fat students today and in the future.
The program will get families, schools, newspapers, magazines and TVs to join together and deal with the students’ obesity so that students will be at a healthier weight.
The program includes: Food stores should sell healthier foods; schools should arrange(安排) healthier meals without too much fat and more gym classes.
The lady is trying to fight the students’ obesity all over the country because it can cause illnesses and high food cost. She wants the students to eat right, exercise more and control their weight. She also wants the students to understand it is important to have less sweet food and drink water, milk and fresh juices, but not to choose cokes. At the same time, she has also set a good example by planting a vegetable garden. She hopes that the garden will encourage more people to plant one, too.
The Health Program is really meaningful to the students today and in the future. As she says, “We can’t always build the future for the young, but we can build the young for the future.”

【推荐3】Chinese people are eating too much salt. On average, people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended (建议) by Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2016).
China now has one of the highest salt intakes (摄入量) in the world. To fix this, China issued the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18, 2018, People’s Daily reported.
If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques (技术) and adjusting (调整) flavors.
The salt we take in mainly comes from processed (加工的) food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips contains about 0.66 grams of salt, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, Xinhua reported.
Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, your taste buds (味蕾) will gradually get used to it and you will feel that your food tastes the same as it did before.

【推荐1】We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount (数量) of food wasted by Chinese consumers (消费者) is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?
♦ Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.

We should ask for smaller portions (部分) in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
♦ Develop the habit of packing food
Chinese consumers are generous (慷慨的) and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude (排除) the food if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.
Don’t put it off! Let’s stop food waste today!

【推荐2】If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any leftover into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper into a recyclable waste bin; third, throw the single-use cup and straw (吸管)into a dry waste bin.
Sound complex (复杂的)? You'll have to get used to it. From July 1 on, people in Shanghai are required to sort (将分类)their garbage according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar garbage-sorting rules.
Why should we sort our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried (填埋)in landfills (垃圾填埋场) , which may pollute water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer. But in order to recycle efficiently, we need to sort our garbage.
Can't garbage-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the troublesome task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?
1. How many steps do people in Shanghai follow to throw away milk tea?| A．One. | B．Two. | C．Three. | D．Four. |
①Because the amount of waste is increasing all the time.
②Because people can recycle more than half of their waste.
③Because there are still some new landfills waste in China.

| A．Garbage-producing companies can do the sorting job with less money. |
| B．People in China only need to sort their recyclable garbage at home. |
| C．It’s easier and easier for everyone to sort his own garbage in daily life. |
| D．Many strict garbage-sorting rules might make people produce less waste. |

【推荐3】In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults as babies! It is a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child.
Some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. As a result, their children can’t do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy to know that. As a result of too much care, their children don’t know anything about the world! Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils(破坏)their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these children may be in great trouble.
It is nice that parents show their care to their children, it is nice that children know that their parents’ love is out of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.

【推荐3】Many of us want to keep thin and healthy. But do you really know how? Here are some new studies that may help you lose weight (体重) more easily. They show that sleeping may help lose weight, but eating less may not!
Less sleep, fatter legs and arms
People without enough sleep are fatter, according to a new study from Nutrients. Scientists divided (分类) sleep time into three types: short sleep (less than 7 hours a day), normal sleep (7 to 9 hours), and long sleep (more than 9 hours). Then they studied 9,412 people from the US. Results show that, compared with (相比于) normal sleepers, short sleepers have more fat on their legs and arms!
Dinner is important
Many people don’t eat dinner to lose weight. But scientists at Osaka University, Japan, said this might not be the answer. They did a study with 20,000 university students. Then they found that if people don’t eat dinner, it’s easier for them to put on weight. One reason, scientists said, might be that people without dinner are hungrier, so they eat more during the day.
Keep away from mukbang (吃播)
If you want to lose weight, stop watching mukbang! In a new study, scientists asked people to watch a cooking or nature television show. They found that those who watched the cooking program ate more chocolate, compared to the nature program. Scientists said that by looking at delicious food, people will get more ghrelin (胃饥饿素) in their blood (血液) . This gives people a stronger appetite (胃口) and they will then eat more.
