We need lots of different food to keep healthy. A food pyramid (金字塔) shows the different food groups and how much of each we need to have a healthy diet (饮食). That is to say what we can eat and how much we can eat.
Eating well is important for all of us. In the short time, it can help us to feel good. In the long time, a healthy and balanced (均衡的) diet can help us keep healthy.
Different countries have different food pyramids. In many countries, there are six kinds of food in the food pyramid. We should eat much important food and eat a little food that is not very important.
Which food should we eat more? The answer is: vegetables, fruit, fish and eggs. And which food should we eat not too much? The answer is: oil (油) and fat meat. Next time, when you have meals, think more about it.
It’s important to eat different foods in a healthy way. We should follow the pyramid rule. It could be a good way for us to make our lives happy and nice. Now we know what we should do and don’t forget to do it.

3 . “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But when someone says to his friend “How are you?”, he likes the answer “fine” even when his friend isn’t fine. It’s because that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common（常见的）ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.
Sometimes people also don’t say just what they think. For example, when someone asks, “Do you think so?” the other one may be thinking, “No, I don’t think so. I think you are wrong.” But it doesn’t sound very friendly, so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t think the same as your friend.
It’s fun when people want to finish talking. For example, when a man wants to finish talking he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he often gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door”, “Something is burning” and so on. The excuse may be real, or it may not. It’s a nice way to stop a conversation（对话）and it doesn’t hurt your friend’s feelings. People don’t always say just what they are thinking. And it’s a part of the game of speaking.
1. The underlined word “greet” means “________ to someone”.| A．say “hello” or “hi” | B．make a phone call | C．put a nice question |
| A．fine | B．terrible | C．so-so |
| A．You think so? | B．You are wrong. | C．I’m not sure. |

10 . People usually use their mouths and also some body language to talk with each other. When we have good news, we want to talk about it with our good friends and when something bad happens, we make it known to others soon. But do you know that trees can also talk about news with each other too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. It may sound strange, but some trees really try to talk with each other in other ways.
Willows are the best-known of these trees. When insects begin biting (叮) a willow, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical (化学品) in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and will fly away soon. In this way, the willows protect themselves from the insects.
The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are talking to each other quietly. How magical nature is!
