Do you know mukbang? It is a South Korean word and is about the eating shows in front of the camera on the Internet. In the shows, mukbangers eat food and sometimes talk to their viewers.
Mukbang started in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread all over the world. Why did mukbang first appear in this country? According to Jeff Yang, an Asian-American culture expert, eating on one’s own can be hard in a country like South Korea because it has the culture of eating together. But eating alone is quite common in the country. Watching mukbang can be a way to havesomeone to eat with. It allows people to connect with others even though they are at home alone.
This is one of the reasons why many people around the world like watching mukbang. However, mukbang has its dark sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. This can encourage(鼓励)bad habits and bring serious health problems. To attract people’s attention, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food in front of the camera. But they throw away much food secretly during the show or throw up food after the show to make viewers believe they have eaten up everything. These mukbangers waste a lot of food.
Such shows have been criticized(批评)by many people. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and stopping food waste has special meaning for our country. Thus, our countryhas done a lot of things to solve the problem and asked short-video platforms, such as TiTok and Kuaishou, to regulate(管理)their eating shows.

Exercise is a must in order to keep healthy. It makes your body stronger, gives you more energy, and even makes you feel happier.
When you exercise, you use your muscles(肌肉). This makes them stronger including muscles deep inside the body, such as your heart. The job of the heart muscle is to send blood(血液) throughout the body. A strong heart gets the job done much easier. It certainly is important to strengthen that muscle.
When you exercise, you feel like you have more energy. Energy is the power to move around. A healthy body does not have to work as hard to move, and it does not get tired as quickly.
Another advantage of exercise is that it makes you feel good. Exercise causes the body to produce a kind of chemical(化学物质) in the brain(大脑) that calms you, and raises your spirits too. This chemical change makes you feel good, just like the good feelings you get from being stronger and having more energy.
Eating right is another way to stay healthy. Breakfast is very important if you make it a healthy one. It gives power to your body and to your brain. It’s easier to choose healthy foods if you know what you need. Children generally need about a cup and a half of fruit and a cup and a half of vegetables every day. You should drink between four and eight glasses of water and juice each day.
The final ingredient(因素) for good health is to get enough rest. Growing children need about nine hours of sleep every night. When the body is asleep, it repairs(修复) itself.
The body is like a machine. If you take good care of it, it can work well for a long time.

【推荐2】At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon(优惠券)if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts,such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and band warmers.
“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行动)which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses,you might ask?Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students
waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country. “The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang,secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared,so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we've reduced food waste since ‘eat-up’' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food,we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses,” said Tao.

【推荐1】Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good illustrations(例证,图解). But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.

B.A newspaper can not only report the news but explain why. |
C.No matter when news stories happen, we can take photos. |
D.Watching television can get more information than reading newspapers. |
A.It is a wonderful invention. | B.It is an important part of our lives. |
C.It requires no practices. | D.It is not as important as television. |
【推荐2】In February, the Ministry of Education announced that mobile phones should, in principle (原则上), be banned (禁止) in primary and secondary schools. This aims to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they pay more attention to their work and prevent them from becoming so interested in the Internet and online games. But some kids have their own opinions.
Xu Xiaohe, a 13-year-old boy from Zhejiang, supports the policy (政策). “In fact, my school has never allowed us to bring our mobile phones,” Xu said. “It’s a distraction from our work. Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.”
Li Zihan, 13, from Beijing, however, feels different. “We have grown up with mobile phones. We should be taught self-management skills, as well as learn how to use our phones wisely to help with our studies,” Li said. “This might be the best way to deal with technology in modern times.”
For Ge Ziqi, the problem with banning phones has more to do with life outside of school. The 13-year-old Beijinger uses a bike-sharing app every day to travel between her home and school. “Today, phones are used everywhere, from taking a bus to buying food,” she said. “If I can’t take my phone with me, I’ll have to buy my own bicycle.”

【推荐3】Nowadays, more and more parents like sharing their kids’ photos of daily life online. Here are some opinions from several students.
Qian Bosi, 14
Parents should respect and protect their children’s privacy (隐私). Photos can show their children’s faces, places they’ve been to and other information. In these cases, parents can accidentally (意外地) violate their children’s privacy when sharing photos online. It’s not safe. Some people might use the photos for bad things. It’s hard to imagine what could happen. Parents should be more careful about this.
Li Meiying, 14
In my observation (观察), some parents like to share embarrassing photos of their kids online. For example, sometimes their kids are sleeping or crying in their pictures. But most kids don’t want these photos to be shared online. They may not care when they are little babies, but as they grow up, they might be upset about it. I’ve also noticed that some parents like to show off (炫耀) their children. Children may not like that either. So to avoid hurting their children’s feelings, parents should ask for permission (允许) from their kids before sharing their photos online.
He Meixi, 14
In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong about parents posting pictures of their babies online. It shows that they love their children—they just want to share pictures of their kids with their friends. It’s a convenient way for relatives who live far away to stay in touch with their family. And when these children grow up, they can find these pictures online and relive (回味) their childhood. It’s easier than looking through a photo album.
Chen Junhong, 14
Our parents have not only given birth to us, but also provided us with a lot of things that we need, such as education and food. Can’t they share our photos to express their happiness and pride? It’s just another way for them to express their love and we should understand that. Though, I think it would be a good idea for parents to talk with their kids about this when they start to go to school.
1. How many students agree with the idea of sharing kids’ photos online?A.1 | B.2 | C.3 |
A.the kids will feel upset about this when they grow up. |
B.children may be hurt by bad people with these photos. |
C.parents just want to show off by sharing the photos. |
A.Chen Junhong and Li Meiying both agree with the idea of sharing kids’ photos online. |
B.Parents share their kids’ photos online only because they want to show off. |
C.Some parents share their kids’ photos just because they love their kids. |
