2 . Do you know mukbang （吃播）? In the shows, people eat food in front of the camera and sometimes talk to others who watch their videos.
The eating shows started in South Korea in around 2010 and then became popular all over the world. Why did mukbang start in this country? Actually, South Korea has the culture of eating together, but eating on one’s own is quite common in the country. Watching mukbang eating on one’s own is also quite common in the country. Watching mukbang can be a way to have someone to eat with. People can connect with （联系）others even though they are at home alone.
However, mukbang has its dark sides. The way mukbangers eat food in some shows isn’t healthy. These bad eating habits can bring serious health problems. Worse still, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food but lose much food without others knowing during the show or after the show. These mukbangers waste（浪费）a lot of food .
Now, many people criticize such shows. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and there are lots of people who still don’t have enough food to eat. Our country does a lot of things to work out the problem and asks shortvideo platforms（平台）, such as TikTok and Kuaishou, to take action.

3 . Cartoon characters are usually seen on sweet food packaging (包装). However, according to the latest news, the candy and chocolate companies in the UK may have to stop using cartoon characters on their products. The health groups said many food companies used characters from Peppa Pig and Disney on their packaging. The companies use the characters to attract children to buy chocolate and candy. If children see their favourite cartoon characters, they will want to buy them.
The health groups said 51 percent of the products using cartoon characters were unhealthy for children, and the products didn’t have as much nutrition (营养) as they said on TV. The health groups said the products were very high in fat, sugar and salt. The groups are asking the government to give the order to stop using these characters to sell unhealthy products to children.
Some groups are trying to get a ban (禁令) on cartoon characters on chocolate and candy. They are Action on Sugar, Action on Salt and the Children’s Food Campaign. They looked at the nutrition content of 526 products that were aimed at children. The products’ packaging had colorful cartoon characters which most children like them very much. The Peppa Pig Candy Bites were among the worst products. These contained 99 percent sugar. Dr Kather Hashem, an expert from the Action on Sugar group, said, “It’s shocking that companies are exploiting (利用) the health of our children by using cartoon characters on their high sugar food and drink products, especially on chocolate and candy, which children love strongly.”

When you buy M&M’s, you probably enjoy the bright colors of those yummy chocolates, right? Well those colors could be a thing of the past! Mars, the company that makes M&M’s, will stop using artificial (人造的) colors in their products within the next five years.
Mars says that it’s because most people want them to do so. But in the past different types of these dyes (染料)stopped being allowed. People worried that they might have caused health problems like trouble sleeping, anxiety and even cancer.
However, are the artificial colors that are still used today bad for humans to eat or drink? The most common question is whether it affects kids’ behavior, but it’s hard to say for sure.
A British study, called the Southampton Study, made an experiment. They gave one group of 8-to 9-year-old children a drink with food coloring and the other group with none. They found the kids that drank the food coloring showed hyperactivity (活动过度). Some people believe that means it is a cause of Attention Deficit and Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD,注意力缺陷多动障碍).
But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which checks the artificial colors to make sure they are safe, doesn’t think there’s enough proof yet. They say that food coloring doesn’t necessarily cause these behavioral problems. It just affects some children more who already have hyperactivity problems.
“Food dyes are added for their color to make foods fun,” said Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “However, they have no real health purpose.”
Maybe since they aren’t doing anything good for us, more foods should not have the dyes anyways. But it will cost companies like Mars a lot of money to get rid of the colors while keeping people interested in their products.

| A．He is in favor of using food dyes. |
| B．Food dyes are not the only thing that can make food fun. |
| C．Food dyes don’t do anything good for our health. |
| D．Food dyes cause hyperactivity problems. |
| A．To call on people to stop the changes of M&M’s. | B．To advise people to buy healthy food. |
| C．To explain the causes of ADHD. | D．To show the concerns of food dyes. |
5 . Have you ever bought Genki Forest（元气森林）sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free? It’s popular among students. The company recently apologized for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”（零蔗糖）, but this is not the same as “sugar-free”. 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, such as fructose（果糖）（糖醇）, are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweetener（甜味剂）. They offer little energy, but also avoid taking in too much sugar.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, 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, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity（肥胖）and type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. It’s time for you to think twice about the diet drink trend.

6 . Most of us like to eat out and enjoy delicious food. Of all the choices, the dishes with high-fat meat are the most popular, but they are net good for our health.The appearance of plant-based meat(植物肉)may give people a healthier choice.
Plant-based meat is made from plants, but it looks, smells and tastes the same as real meat. It’s a healthy choice for meat lovers. You think it’s new? In fact, plant-based meat has been popular in the US and the UK for many years. KFC and Starbucks announced in April that they were going to use it in China this year.
With the coming of plant-based meat, it’s possible that fast food will not be “junk food” anymore. Plant-based meat is not only as healthy as real meat, but it also has low calories (卡路里). That means people will not get fat easily.
Plant-based meat is quite popular with environment lovers. Because making 1kg of meat can emit (释放) 36.4kg of CO 2 , environment lovers choose to cat less meat or not to cat it at all. Now with plant-based meat, they can eat “meat” and save the earth at the same time.
Also, plant-based meat may help end some health problems. A lot of people got ill because they ate wild animals. With plant-based meat, there is no need for people to eat wild food. We believe that plant-based meat on Chinese tables will make a change in people’s eating habits. People will be healthier and get on better with nature.

7 . There are 50 students in our class, 20 girls and 30 boys. I did a survey(调查) by asking them questions about how they keep healthy.

8 . Eating healthily is an increasingly popular goal, but lunch is a meal that is sometimes difficult to prepare and is often skipped (略过). Packing lunches for work or school is sometimes done with less attention than other meals. To form healthy eating habits and plan healthy lunch ahead of time, you can consider these healthy lunch ideas.
Packing lunch for work or school depends largely on equipment (设备) for the kitchen. Workers can enjoy the convenience of a refrigerator and a microwave at their office, but children in school can’t. Many kids prefer eating French fries, hamburgers and so on instead of vegetables and fruit. They won’t always eat lunch prepared in their school canteen either. It’s important for parents to provide foods according to a standard diet.
Packers who have refrigerators and microwaves can have various healthy lunch ideas. Yogurt and cheese are good choices for dairy diet and require no preparation. Besides, a salad with vegetables prepared ahead of time or cooked chicken or eggs is another healthy lunch idea. If you prefer hot lunch, try low-calorie food. Those who are also concerned about calorie intake (摄入量) can drink water with their lunch to increase their feeling of fullness without adding calories.
If you are able to have lunch at home, you can prepare any healthy lunch, such as vegetables, rice or noodles.
Even though lunch needs to be quick, skipping lunch or stopping at a convenience store is not a healthy choice. Healthy lunch doesn’t have to be given up because of the time limit if you plan ahead and consider it as important as other meals. There are other advantages of planning and carrying out healthy lunch, for example, having more energy throughout the day, becoming more productive and saving money on eating out.

9 . Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.
Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to（与……相反）what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
