1 . You are what you eat. How does eating meals right benefit your health?
Do you have a balanced diet? Nutritionist (营养学家) Lambert believes it’s more important what you eat than when you eat. “Your nutrition has more meaning than a time schedule or a number of meals. The foods you choose to consume (摄入) will have an effect on your whole health,” she says. A balanced diet, Lambert adds, should include a handful of carbs (for example, rice, pasta), an outstretched handful of protein (chicken, tofu), two handfuls of vegetable, and a thumb-sized part of fat (olive oil for cooking), but how many meals you choose to eat and their size depend on personal preference, lifestyle, and health goals. If, for example, someone wants to lose weight and sits all the time in the evening, Lambert suggests that a smaller part at dinner than lunch would make sense.
When did you last eat? “Timing is a key factor,” says Hyde, nutritional therapist. “Looking at the best times to eat can not only help you control weight, but also reduce inflammation (炎症) and help you sleep better.” Intermittent (间歇性的) fasting (禁食) has become popular over the years, meaning that you can consume food within a 10-hour time window and fast for 14 hours overnight. Then, consider the time between your last bite and going to sleep. Another nutritionist Mark says, “You should stop eating two hours before going to bed.” Different lifestyles can make this difficult. If you’re getting home late, and therefore don’t have that two-hour window before bed, Mark suggests a smaller, lighter dinner, such as a bowl of soup.
The sounds you make while chewing (咀嚼) have an important effect on the amount of food you eat, a new study has found. Researchers carried out an experiment, and the results suggest that people are likely to consume less if they can hear themselves eating. So Elder said, “Chew each mouthful, enjoy it and think of the taste, then you will start to realize when you’re full. So take your time and you won’t have chocolate afterwards.”
In a word, whether you try to control the food you eat or the time you eat it, you should choose the most suitable eating style that can continue, rather than it being an instant return.

6 . Should I worry about skipping breakfast (不吃早饭)?
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? It probably depends on what you’re doing for the rest of it. Before the industrial revolution (工业革命), most people had leftovers or nothing for breakfast. Edward Bernays created a marketing project in the 1920s that made eggs and bacon a common breakfast choice. But in today’s world, fewer people work physically challenging jobs, so is it still necessary to begin the day with a protein-rich (富含蛋白质的) meal or a bowl of porridge? Does it matter if you don’t and might there actually be health benefits to breaking your fast later in the day?
First, let’s hear from the breakfast supporters. Some studies suggest that breakfast-skippers have a risk of heart disease and high blood sugar, across a range of populations around the world. At the same time, other studies show breakfast-skippers are more likely to choose poorer foods throughout the day which makes sense, as skipping breakfast seems to keep levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin (饥饿激素) high, while the satiety hormone leptin (饱腹感激素瘦素) stays suppressed.
Breakfast eaters often have healthier habits, but not always.What if some people really care about their health but choose to skip breakfast? Well, actually...
“Skipping breakfast can be described as a kind of ‘time-restricted feeding (限时进食)’, as you reduce the ‘window’ when you can eat, ” says the nutritionist (营养学家) Drew Price. “If I was working with someone who wanted a breakfast-skipping-type plan, then I would be paying more attention than ever to what they are eating to make sure they get enough protein, healthy fats and other beneficial nutrients. However, skipping breakfast isn’t suitable for everyone, especially those people with disordered eating, certain health conditions, and those who are young or elderly, for whom balanced energy intake is important.”
What should you do then? Just eat in the way that lets you make the most healthy choices, most long-lastingly. If that means a couple of fried eggs and some vegetables at 7 a.m., great, but if all you need to make it to 11 a.m. is a strong cup of coffee, don’t worry about it too much. Oh, and if a bowl of porridge can help guide you away from your basic needs, then go for it—we can all use a bit of help in the morning, after all.
1. According to the passage, which health risk is connected with skipping breakfast?| A．Cancer. | B．Stomachache. | C．Cold. | D．Heart disease. |
| A．controlled | B．organized | C．balanced | D．recorded |
| A．the best breakfast habit depends on yourself |

| A．To introduce the history and development of breakfast. |

Do potatoes play a small role (角色) on your dinner table? Maybe it’s time to make a big change! Potatoes have become China’s fourth staple food (主食) after rice, wheat and corn. Using potatoes as a staple can make us healthier. They do good to us in many ways.
Potatoes are nutritious (有营养的). They are rich in vitamin C. As we all know, vitamin C can help people keep strong. A potato’s vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories — they don’t have as much calories as wheat and corn have, but they have high-quality protein. These are what people are looking for in a healthy diet (饮食).
Also, potatoes are easy to grow. People can plant them in almost every part of China. They can even grow well on barren land. What’s more, potatoes don’t need much water to grow. China is facing water shortage problems, so potatoes are a good choice.
Many Chinese people think potatoes are vegetables. They cook potatoes along with other things, and the dishes made with potatoes are really delicious. As a staple, potatoes can also be cooked differently. Scientists have tried to make noodles and other staple foods with potatoes, just like how we use rice or wheat. Would you like to try potato noodles? They taste pretty good.
Potatoes have many good points, but it doesn’t mean we can eat them every day. Potatoes have a lot of starch (淀粉). If we eat them a lot and do little exercise, we will get fat. Also, too much fried potato food, such as French fries or potato chips, will be bad for our health.
In a word, we are what we eat. No matter how good the food is, we should eat in a right way, then we’ll look good and healthy.

10 . The keys to keeping a healthy weight (体重) are regular (规律的) exercise and good eating habits. It may sound difficult to try to work them into our lives, but in fact, the best way is by making small changes. Here’s the information you need to make healthy habits easy.
Teens (青少年) should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Notice the word “activity”: as long as you’re getting your body moving, any kind of exercise will do. What’s important is that each week you get the right balance (平衡) of activity, including aerobic, strength building, and stretching exercises. Make exercise a habit by doing some of them every day.
On days when you don’t have football practice or a PE lesson, 60 minutes a day of activity seems like a lot of time for busy students. The good news is that it’s OK to take shorter “exercise breaks” during the day. So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching. Fast walk for 15 minutes at lunch. Walk or bike home after school.
Eating well doesn’t mean dieting (节食) over and over again. In fact, studies have shown that dieting often doesn’t work—and diets may have the reverse effect, with dieters putting on more weight than before they started.
One reason diets don’t work is because they can make people think of foods as “good” or “bad”, but the truth is, everything is OK in moderation (适量地). Dieters are also more likely to “give up” some foods; we may end up longing for these foods while our bodies don’t get enough (足够的) important nutrients (营养). Teens should eat all kinds of food, and there’s nothing wrong with a treat occasionally. A candy bar somehow tastes more special if we treat ourselves from time to time, not every day.
Try to come up with ways to fit exercise and healthy eating into your life in a way that works for you. We’re all different. Your best friend might like gym time better, while you enjoy walks with your dog in the park. Knowing what’s right for you will make staying at a healthy weight a lot easier!
