2 . In Japan, people eat their food with chopsticks. Dishes there are carefully cooked. At mealtime, dishes are placed in the centre of a table and each person helps himself or herself.
The traditional (传统的) Japanese food mainly includes rice, fish and vegetables. Rice is important food in Japan. There is much fresh fish and other seafood in the country.
This is because no place in the country is too far from the sea. Many different kinds of fish are found in the sea around Japan. Japanese fishermen use modern fishing methods (方法) to catch fish and Japan is one of the countries that catches the most fishes in the world.

5 . It’s healthy to eat at home. But sometimes you just want to eat out. How can you have a delicious and healthy meal at the restaurant near home? The following ways can help you. Before you order (点餐), you’d better have a good look at the menu. Have no idea what the dish (菜肴) is? Ask the waiter (服务生). Then you don’t need to eat any food you don’t like. It’s good for you to order some fish and vegetables.
When you are enjoying your food, use a small plate (盘子) and eat slowly. A small plate can help you eat less, but make you feel full quickly.
You may want a piece of cake for dessert after the meal. Stop! There is too much sugar (糖) in it. All you really need is some oranges. If there isn’t any fresh fruit at the restaurant, don’t order any more.
It’s time to go home. Don’t take the bus or taxi. Take a walk, please.

7 . Michelle, a famous lady, has found that more than 25% students are too fat in her country. It is a very serious problem. So she starts a health program to deal with it. The health program is to reduce (减少) the amount (数量) of fat students today and in the future.
The program will get families, schools, newspapers, magazines and TVs to join together and deal with the students’ obesity so that students will be at a healthier weight. The program includes: Food stores should sell healthier foods. Schools should serve healthier meals with less fat and should also offer gym classes.
The lady is trying to fight the students’ obesity all over the country because it can cause illnesses and higher health cost. She wants the students to eat right, exercise more and control (控制) their weight. She also wants the students to understand it is important to have less sweet food, and drink water, milk and fresh juice, but not to choose cokes. At the same time she has also set a good example by planting a vegetable garden. She hopes that the garden will encourage more people to plant one too.
The health program is really helpful to the students today and in the future. As she says, we cannot always build the future for youth, but we can build our youth for the future.

A new research suggests that children who are brought up on healthy diets are more intelligent compared with those junk food eaters. It was found toddlers (蹒跚学步的孩子) who are fed a diet high in fats, sugars, and processed foods had lower IQs than those fed pasta, salads and fruit. The effect is so great that researchers from the University of Bristol said those children with a “healthier” diet may get an IQ improvement. Scientists stressed a good diet was vital in a child’s early life as the brain grows at its fastest rate during the first three years of life. This indicated head growth at this time is linked to intellectual ability and it is possible that good nutrition during this period may encourage the best brain growth.
Scientists followed the long-term health and happiness of around 14, 000 children born in 1991 and 1992 as part of the West Country’s Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Parents were quizzed about the types and frequency of the food and drink their children consumed when they were three, four, seven and eight and a half years old. Their answers were marked on a sliding scale (浮动计算表). Minus two is for the healthiest while ten is for the unhealthiest. IQ was measured by a test—the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (韦氏儿童智力量表) —of 4, 000 children when they were eight and a half years old. The results found after considering some other factors, a mainly processed food diet at the age of three was connected with a lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, but whether the diet was improved after that age would never influence the result. Every one point increase in dietary score was connected with a 1.67 fall in IQ.
