1 . One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals. In this lab, the scientists are studying the relationship between diet and health. They are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy food. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group is eating three cups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are little thinner. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running and playing with one another. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.
The second group of mice is receiving more than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating and sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists though about a year and a half. But they are not healthy. They are sick more often than the other two groups.

5 . Many things we eat have some natural sugar in them. But extra sugar is often put into foods we buy. Sugar is delicious, but added sugar is not good for you. Doctors say it can have bad effects on your body by making you gain weight. But there are other bad effects from eating a lot of sugar as well. Added sugar can make it hard to think. It can give you a headache. Sugar can make you become ill. It can also cause problems for your heart. Do you feel tired a lot? It could be that you are eating too much sugar. Foods like cookies, cakes, and drinks have lots of added sugar. Even foods we think are good for us, like yogurt (酸奶) can also have added sugar.
In many countries, food makers have to say how much sugar is in their food. This is so that people can decide if they want to buy that kind of food or choose one with much less sugar. For example, some breakfast foods contain lots of sugar while others have much less. Some fruit drinks have lots of sugar added to them. Other fruit drinks have much less sugar and still taste good.What if you really like sugar? You can make small changes in what you eat and cut out the sugar slowly. If you like candy, you can eat apples, strawberries, or pears. These are all sweet, but they will not make you sick. If you like yogurt, buy yogurt that has no sugar or very little sugar. You can put strawberries or some other fruit in the yogurt to make it sweet.

7 . Fast food is popular in the United States, because for under $5.00, you can usually get a good meal. And it is quick and easy to take.
Now fast food changes Chinese people’s lifestyle so much. People’s life becomes better and better. So more people in cities have money to eat outside. Some people think eating fast food means you live a modern life. The young people and kids’ favorite fast food are hamburgers, chicken and cola. You can buy them in many places. At weekends, parents like to take their children to fast food restaurants. People order their food, wait a few minutes, and take it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of restaurants and eat it in their cars or at their homes.

8 . Everybody will have some health problems. Here are Mr. Black’s problems and his doctor’s advice. I hope they can help you.
Mr. Black’s problems
My name is David Black. I live in a small house. When I eat and drink, I am always worried they are dirty. So when I am hungry or thirsty, I don’t want to eat food or drink water. And I never go out when the weather is cold, because I am worried I’ll have a cold. I don’t go out often because I don’t want to talk with others. I hardly exercise, but sometimes I take a walk in my garden. After I walk for a few minutes, I have to take a rest. I am always very weak and tired. I often have a headache, but I don’t want to see a doctor. What should I do?
Dr. Smith’s advice
Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance between yin and yang to be healthy. I think you have too much yin because you are always worried about something and you don’t like going out or talking with others. I think you should eat some yang foods, like beef and that you need to exercise more. Also, talking with others can make you feel relaxed. And if you don’t feel very well, it’s important for you to go to see a doctor. And you will feel better after you take some Chinese medicine.
