1 . One day, you open the fridge and find some moldy (发霉的) food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She wants to cut off the moldy part and eat the rest. Is it safe to do this?
Mold (霉菌) can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad and it’s not safe to eat. If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water inside. And the water inside allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria (细菌) can also grow along with it.
But it’s easy to clean mold from hard food. The mold can’t grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to clean it. It’s OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, throw it away.
Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium (青霉菌) can be used to make many types of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat and they’re quite delicious as well.
So, if the food is not the special cheese, stop your mother from eating it!

Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if (是否) you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty-sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast, Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be cleverer after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off (推迟) eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least (至少) 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8~10 hours.

6 . Will it matter if you don’t have your breakfast? Some scientists in the United States did a test a short time ago. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The results also show that having no breakfast will not help people lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. So they will gain weight instead of losing weight.

7 . At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The measure (措施) is part of a national “eat-up” campaign (行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses (校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced (减少) food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.

9 . Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Should you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t for many reasons, including its influence on your brains.
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us put on weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.
“We believe that late-night eating may affect(影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh. PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged memory.”
For the study, the researchers did an experiment on mice. The mice were either allowed to eat during the daytime or during the night. They received the same amount of sleep and calories. Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice and noticed that the mice eating during the night were less able to remember things well.
So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your weight.

10 . Last month we asked 1055 students in our city about their living habits. They are teenagers between 13 and 16 years old. Our questions were about exercise, eating fruit and vegetables, and doing eye exercises. The results are shown below:
More and more students pay attention to their health. However, it’s difficult for them to exercise quite often because of hard schoolwork. Some students don’t have any time to exercise. The survey shows that most of them eat fruit and vegetables very often. Most students do eye exercises every day, which improves the situation of short-sighted (近视眼的) students.
Experts suggest that students should balance their exercise and diet. Parents should manage to spend more time with their children going out to nature to exercise and enjoy themselves. It is good for both the mind and the body.
