6 . Mary likes eating. She eats much food every day and her favorite foods are hamburgers and ice-cream. Mary doesn’t like fruit or vegetables and she doesn’t play sports. Now she is a really fat girl.
“Mary, you need to lose weight(减肥),” her friend Linda says to her. “Don’t eat too much, Mary,” say her parents. “Thank you,” says Mary, “But I’m happy with how I look.”
One day Mary meets one of her father’s friends William. He is a doctor. “Mary, you really need to lose some weight. Being too fat is not good for your health. Some people die(死亡) because of being too fat,” says the doctor.
“I don’t want to die. I want to be healthy,” says Mary, “It’s time for me to lose weight now.”
There is a saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. It’s important to eat more healthy food. It is important to remember: eat well, stay healthy, and don’t get fat.

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.
1. In the past, people thought the dyes could cause the following problems EXCEPT ________.| A．trouble sleeping | B．anxiety | C．cancer | D．ADHD |
| A．Children with hyperactivity problems prefer drinks with food coloring. |

| D．Food coloring doesn’t necessarily cause ADHD. |
| 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. |
8 . 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.

9 . Do you love holidays but hate the increasing weight（体重）that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may help you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints（薄荷）and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off more calories.
