1 . For years, American parents are trying to get children to drink fewer sugary( 含糖的)drinkssuch as Coca Cola and Pepsi because sugary drinks make many people get fat. And being fat canbring many health problems later in life. Children are drinking fewer sugary drinks these days. They turn to sports drinks. There are many ads(广告)for sports drinks on TV and they show sports stars or movie stars having the drink.
These ads make the drinks look heathy. In fact, they are not. Sports drinks have lots of sugar, too.
Scientists at Harvard University did a survey(调查)in 2017 to find out how many sports drinks high School students had. They surveyed 22, 000 students and found those students were drinking sports drinks more than they did before. Almost one third of the students drank one to three sports drinks each week. And more than one tenth had four to six drinks. Students in sports teams would have sports drinks each day and they maybe had one or more. The same was true of those students who watched TV for over two hours every day.
"Although water is the best choice for kids, sometimes having a sports drink is fine. If someone is on a long bike ride or in an all-day race, he can have one," said Tomas Hardy, a health expert(专家). “But if kids play sports or have soccer practice for only 20 minutes, they just need water or a little fruit juice.”

5 . Luo Zhijie, 14, usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall at Tangwai Junior High School in Shanghai. But the other day, a newcomer joined them — the school principal (校长). They talked about the food the dining hall offers and had a nice talk.
Many students across China are also eating with their principals these days. The Chinese government made a new food safety regulation (安全规定) to make sure that students eat better and safer food in schools. The regulation started on April 1, 2019. It asks those who run schools to eat with students in their dining halls. Parents can also join in.
Luo’s school has some seats for school managers (管理者) to sit on and they can eat with students. After talking with the students, the managers have to write reports and give good ideas to the workers in their dining hall. “It helps us offer healthier and tastier food to students,” said the principal of Luo’s school. After eating with his students, he found that the food in their dining hall wasn’t very good. He also found that his students ate lots of meat and few vegetables. “We are thinking about how to change (改变) the dishes and make our students eat more healthily,” he said.
Liu Haoxuan, 14, from Beijing Dayu School, said he found some changes after the regulation went into his school. “Some of the unpopular dishes are gone. Some of the other dishes taste better!” he said. “I hope our school keeps on changing the dishes.”

7 . If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits(习惯). Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food".
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet(饮食). They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They enjoy eating food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat. Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure(高血压)in the future.
★ Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins(维生素)and have little fat.
