1 . Wu Yue, a 14-year-old student at a Junior High School in Hangzhou, usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall. But one day, a newcomer, the school headmaster, joined them at the same table. They talked about the food that the dining hall offered and had a nice chat.
Wu is not alone. Many students across China have the chance to eat with their headmasters. The government issued a notice on food safety and nutrition (营养) management in schools, asking headmasters from kindergarten to high school to have meals with students. The rule took effect (生效) on April 1st.
Many schools now have seats for school managers when they eat with students in the dining hall. After talking with them, the managers have to write reports and make suggestions to dining hall workers. Many students were asked about the food that they liked most. To their surprise, their favorite dishes appeared in the dining hall later, “It’s not just about the food. It makes me feel that I have a say in school,” explained one student. “My ideas are valued.”
Some headmasters regard these mealtime conversations as their main chance to communicate with students. And they notice that some students prefer meat to vegetables. “We are thinking about how to improve the dining hall’s dishes and provide students with a healthy diet,” one headmaster said. As students become more familiar with the school managers, they begin to express their own points of view.
“It’s important to understand students’ requirements. Our practice shows the school’s sense of responsibility,” another headmaster said.

In the past, life was very hard, and many people were very poor. Lots of them had no enough food to eat. There were many people in a family and they lived a poor life. In those poor days, people had little meat to eat. They had vegetables every meal. Most of people can only eat some meat at the Spring Festival.
Now, life is becoming richer and richer. People can eat meat every meal. So they eat a lot of meat. They rarely have vegetables. As a result, they get fatter and fatter. They live a rich but unhealthy life.

4 . Before you learned how to walk or talk, you learned how to snack. It started as a handful of Cheerios (面包圈) on your high chair tray (高脚椅), then some Goldfish Cookies after school. In fact, many teens snack as often as four times a day.
The top snack picks for teens are factory made desserts, salty snacks, candies, and fruit drinks. While unprocessed food like strawberries or cheese can give you what your body needs. Those aren’t the foods that are the easiest to get your hands on. Have you looked at the vending machine (投币式自动售货机) or local convenience store recently? They’re not exactly filled with oranges or hard boiled eggs.
One reason: There’s less money to be made on real food, so companies have invented “snack food”, which are cheaper to make and take years to go bad.
Still, you buy them anyway. It’s hard not to, thanks to billions of dollars spent on snack-food marketing. You can see ads for these between-meal snacks everywhere— whether they’re TV ads or ads on a phone app. “Everywhere you go, you see ads to snack on the wrong kinds of foods.” says Margo Wootan. “The reason is simpler: The more you eat. the more money food companies make.”
EATING WRONG FOOD
You love chips and cookies. But they’re full of man-made materials and lack of nutrients (营养素) you need like iron.
Do it right: Junky snacks are OK sometimes, but always include fruit or vegetables with every meal or snacks.
REDUCING PROTEIN
Your store’s snack shelf is filled with things that are heavy on fat hut light on protein (蛋白质), a nutrient that’s especially filling. So you end up eating more, but still feeling unsatisfied.
Do it right: Stay satisfied between meals by adding a healthy protein to your snacks, like a hard-boiled egg or cheese.

10 . Hi, everyone! I’m Jack. Do you want to keep healthy? Here are my ideas.
Take lots of exercise
Some students like watching TV or playing computer games. But they can’t make you healthy. Playing sports can. I often get some exercise with my friends in the park. Exercise makes me strong.
Eat healthy food
I like eating fruit and vegetables. They can help us stay healthy and strong. But my brother likes eating candy and chocolate. It’s not good to eat too much because there’s a lot of sugar and fat (脂肪) in them.
Drink lots of water and milk
Water is good for us but fizzy drinks (碳酸饮料)aren’t, because fizzy drinks have lots of sugar. Too much sugar is bad for our teeth. Milk is good because it has lots of calcium (钙). The calcium can help keep our teeth strong.
