1 . Wang Yan, a 13-year-old Chinese girl, likes eating snacks (零食) very much. She likes cream biscuits, McDonald’s hamburgers and KFC chicken. She eats snacks almost every day. Sometimes she doesn’t even eat rice or any vegetables, so she gets very fat. Her parents are very worried (担忧) about her.
Today in China, there are many children like Wang Yan. Health experts (专家) suggest that children should have healthy eating habits.
First, they should eat three meals and begin with a healthy breakfast. About 45% students go to school without breakfast. A good breakfast can make them have a good memory (记忆力).
Second, they should have different kinds of food such as fruit, vegetables, grain, eggs, and meat. Children should drink one cup of fat-free milk at each meal instead of (代替) soft drinks like cola.
Third, children shouldn’t eat too much junk food such as hamburgers, French fries, and so on. They are delicious, but they are bad for their health. Poor eating habits are a big problem (问题) now.
If children do as the experts suggest, they can’t be fat. They will be healthy and keep in a good mood (心情). Also, they won’t become tired at school, and they will have enough energy (精力) when they study.

5 . Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (饮食) of processed food is not health y for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either.
The scientists discovered that the foods a dog might find in an owner’s meal such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of foods leads to more variety (多样性) in microbes (微生物), which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what foods they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog foods on sale are described as providing a complete diet... But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child, then why should a dog be different?”
1. According to the new study, dog owners ________.A.can feed dogs on “people food” | B.must offer dry food to their dogs |
C.had better buy more processed food | D.shouldn’t make food by themselves |
A.scientists study dry processed food |
B.little living things stay in human bodies |
C.dogs need different kinds of foods |
D.people should keep dogs at home |
A.By using pictures. | B.By listing numbers. |
C.By telling stories. | D.By giving examples. |
A.![]() | B.![]() | C.![]() | D.![]() |
A.Microbes are good for dogs. |
B.You should feed your dog by sharing processed food. |
C.Dogs like humans’ food rather than dry food. |
D.Dogs with mixed diet are healthier. |
