【推荐1】In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, "My children have packed lunches because they say they don't like to have school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning."
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, "My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them."
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, "Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips."
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included hamburgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as vegetable soups and curries (咖喱) for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, "We used to have a fast food window where we got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There's a salad restaurant, which is good, so it's healthier than it was."

【推荐2】Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But too often we express to our children either by words or by actions that failure is somethings to be ashamed of.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions-he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.

I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, admired her. But even warm-hearted, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy.

Then one morning, we were working on math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with pains-taking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary. But when I returned, Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.

“Look, Donnie,” she said, “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils , Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”

She kissed him and continued. “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a slight of a smile.

The pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually reminded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

【推荐1】Have you ever heard about or read about “WHO”, short for “World Health Organization”, which is set to protect international public health.

The organization is given money mainly by its 194 member states. Some big countries pay more. The US is its greatest supporter in money and China is the second largest.

However, on April 14, US President Donald Trump said he would end supporting the WHO. He said it “missed the call”, meaning that too many months has passed before it took any action. He added that WHO was too “ China-centric”

To answer what the US president said, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres talked about the importance of the WHO during the COVID-19 pandemic（疫情）. He pointed out that thousands of WHO workers are fighting the illness on the frontlines.

In fact, the WHO leads the world in all areas in fighting COVID-19. For example, it has sent 55 million test kits（试剂盒）to 120 countries. And under its lead, groups of scientists are working on the researching of vaccines（疫苗）.

The WHO also continues to let people know the newest situation about the pandemic. Most importantly, the WHO never stops to call on all the countries to fight together. “Now it is the time for teamwork, for all the countries to work as one to stop this virus,” Guterres said to the intentional society.

【推荐3】As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death (死亡), worries about amusement park safety (游乐场安全性) grow.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.

“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.

In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.

“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.

There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.

1. What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese?

A．制止

B．同情

C．想念

D．忍受

2. How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5?

A．Afraid.

B．Angry.

C．Hopeful.

D．Interested.

3. What can we learn about amusement parks?

A．They are building more rides.	B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths.	D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．The story of the Smith family.	B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks.	D．The future of amusement parks.
