1 . We start a day with a breakfast and end it with a dinner. Meals are important for us, but bad eating habits are bad for our health. Do you eat healthily? Here are some useful tips for you.
●Put vegetables and fruits on your plate each meal. There are lots of nutrients (营养) in fruits and vegetables. They can help you stay full (饱的) longer. If you are in a hurry, just take a fresh fruit with you to eat on the way, like an apple or a banana.
●Eat your meals on time during the day to keep you healthy. Have breakfast soon after you get up. Don’t skip any meals. Some students may not have breakfast because of getting up late. This is really bad for health. Also, it is good to have dinner early to give your bodies a rest. If you go to bed at 9:30 pm, you can have dinner at 6 pm. Then, don’t eat again until you have breakfast the next morning.
●Drink more water. Drink when you feel thirsty (口渴的).

We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that－it can also make us lazy.
In the study, researchers divided 32 rats into two groups. In the first experiment, the first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet rich in sugar and fat, namely “junk food”.
Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups other than weight.
During the task—pushing a lever to receive a prize of sugar water—the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the fit rats did.
“It is as if the rat is thinking ‘This is too much work’,” said the leader of the study.
According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats’ brains.
The experiments didn’t end there. After six months, researchers began the second experiment. The rats’ diets were changed, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this didn’t help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks. It means the effects of their junk food diet lasted for long. “There’s no quick way to reduce the harm,” researchers said.
For a long time, we’ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has shown that the opposite is true as well. Being lazy and getting fat can go hand in hand.
So, if you always feel tired, and not willing to get up from your chair, it could be that you’ve been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.
1. What can be included in the diet for the second group?A． | B． | C． | D． |

| C．Junk food has harmful chemistry. | D．Junk food can make rats fat and lazy. |
| A．Fat rats should perform more tasks. |
| B．Our diets have long-term effects on us. |
| C．There is no quick way to change a diet. |
| D．It is no good to change an unhealthy diet. |
| A．He should get up and do some exercise. |
| B．He should focus more on his study. |
| C．He should stay away from junk food. |
| D．He should have regular meals on time. |

Have you ever bought diet drinks such as Genki Forest because it's advertised as “sugar-free”? Actually, diet drinks aren't quite as healthy as you might think.
The company of Genki Forest recently apologized for a misleading advertisement. It explained that the drinks were only “sucrose-free”（零蔗糖）, but this was not the same as “sugar-free”. The old advertisement of “sugar-free” is probably to trick people into enjoying the drink without worrying about any kind of sugar at all. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar offer little energy, but a small amount of it can make drinks taste sweet.
But why can't we stop eating sugar? The reason is simple-sugar just tastes good. Sweet is the first taste that people start to enjoy after birth. Since we like it so much, our brains start to want more of it. The taste of sugar also gives out chemicals that relax us.
That's why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular with people who want to lose weight without giving up sweet taste. They believe that they can not only enjoy sweet drinks, but also avoid taking in too much energy.
However, studies find that the sweetness might make people eat more. When you have sweet-tasting food, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, the brain will not receive what it is waiting for. At this time, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to overweight or some diseases. It’s time for you to think twice about diet drinks.

7 . There are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. Studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken can cause health problems.
However, fast food restaurants are still attractive. The most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff are friendly and very smart-looking in their tidy and bright uniforms. Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people often pass by. It is so easy to just grab a burger and eat on the way to work.
Fast food is often so conveniently packed that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads have made them the coolest places, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.
Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast-food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food? As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date sooner or later.
Therefore, instead of saying no to fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade（说服）them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could join healthy food together with their speed of service and delicious tastes that will be the next best thing on Earth for people!
