【推荐2】Where does your food come from? How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U. S. started testing food.
These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签) on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.
Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When this happens, people don't know if their food is safe.
As we all know, food is closely related to our daily life. We should take action to make food safer!
1. Who wrote The Jungle?2. What are the food labels used to do?
3. Is it necessay to pay atttion to food safey? Why or why not?
Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send emails to our friends quickly. It can help us contact (联系) people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.
I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4: 50 to 5: 50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, sing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

【推荐3】When packing(打包)a lunch, you need to remember the rules about food safety.
※ Start with a clean kitchen. Every counter that will have food on it should be cleaned before you start. You should also make sure to wash your hands with warm, soapy water. Make sure you use clean dishes to put the food in.
※ It is important to keep pets off the table. Dogs can’t usually get on it. But cats can jump that high and get on the table. Train your cats not to jump on the table.
※ Use fresh foods to make the lunch. Leftovers from last night’s dinner can be a good choice for lunch the next day. But if you sat around the table after eating, or the food was out for more than two hours, find something else to put in the lunch. If you aren’t sure if the leftovers are still good, throw them out.
※ Clean your lunch box immediately. After eating your lunch, you’d better wash the box that you used to bring lunch at once. Or germs may grow in it and cause lots of disease.
※ Make sure to put your lunch in a cooler place. Foods can go bad very quickly during summer. Put them in cool places to keep cool. The food should not get warmer than forty degrees.

When it comes to the greatest awards in the world, the Nobel Prize must be on the list.
Created by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel in 1895, the prize recognizes achievements in science and the people behind them. Every year in October, the winners catch the world’s attention. But what is the meaning behind this award? According to the founder Nobel himself, the prize is for those people who have provided “the greatest benefit（福祉）to humankind”.
The first Nobel Prize was given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a certificate（证书）. The third part is a large amount of money. Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.
In the book The World Made by Nobel Prize, the writer Lee Jong-ho says that “many everyday things would be impossible without the work of the winners of the Nobel Prizes”.
In recent years, Chinese people have paid more attention to the results of the Nobel Prize, after many prizes were given to Chinese scientists and writers, such as 2012 Nobel literature prize winner Mo Yan, and Tu Youyou, China’s first Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine in 2015.

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are words that millions （百万） of volunteers around the world could certainly agree with.
People who volunteer spend their time offering help to others and don’t ask for pay. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment （治疗） of animals.
Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices（职业选择）. For young adults, valuable （有价值的） lessons may also be learned through volunteering.
Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19-year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage（孤儿院） in Guatemala. It is in one of the poorest parts of the area. And it depends on volunteers to stay open.
Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem. “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back. “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week , but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon because he saw love and hope.
Sherry Anderson once wrote, “Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless ( 无价值的）, but because they’re priceless.” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do—their work is “priceless”.
