1 . Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

We are upon the first anniversary of a shocking killing. Last May, outside of a grocery store in Minnesota, George Floyd — a Black man — was slowly, casually murdered by a White police officer. Floyd's daughter, Gianna, is the same age as you. I know that Floyd certainly didn't choose to “sacrifice”, as one government officer said, his life to the cause of racial justice, leaving her daughter fatherless. Sometimes, when I look at your beautiful face, I think of that little girl and my heart breaks.
My son, you came into my heart almost seven years ago as a gift. You were lucky enough to be born in a country where dreams can come true, so they say, and I hope that this will be the case for you. But you were also born inside Black skin and sadly, that is still a burden to bear in today's America. Every day I pray for strength so that I may help you to carry that burden, make you proud of who you are, and teach you how to face the challenge of racism.
More than anything else, I pray that I will be able to keep you safe. No child should have to know this, but you will meet individuals who will not see you as human because of the color of your skin. Some of them will even be the very people who have promise to protect and serve you, and they can be police.
Since 400 years ago, Black and brown people have been fighting, first for our freedom and now for equality. Our ancestors did not live to see their efforts rewarded, but sometimes something shocking happens will bring change in its wake. Sadly, that something is often the murder of someone who looks like you.

6 . Narasimha Das is on his way to feed 169,379 hungry children. Das is in charge of a kitchen in Vrindaban. The town is about a three-hour drive from India’s capital, New Delhi. Das gets to work at 3:00 a.m. Thirty workers are already working to make tens of thousands of rounds of bread. It will be brought to 1,516 schools in and around Vrindaban.
A Growing Problem
Going to school is difficult for more than 13 million children in India. They must go to work instead, or go hungry. That’s why India began the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, the largest school-lunch program in the world. A free lunch encourages children to come to school and gives them the energy they need for learning. The program began in the 1960s.
The kitchen in Vrindaban is run by the Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is one of the lunch program’s biggest partners. “Just $11.50 can feed one child for an entire year,” said Madhu Sridhar, president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.
Lunch Is Served!
The Akshaya Patra food truck arrives at Gopalgarh Primary School. Since the program started, the number of underweight children has gone down. The children get foods they need — as long as they finish what’s on their plates.

7 . Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin.
The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, e-mailing coworkers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Cell phones are forbidden”. On the first warning you will be sent home, and on the second warning you will be fired.
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self control.
1. What is Plug-in Heroin?| A．The growing popularity of electronics. |
| B．The serious consequences of technology use. |
| C．The future possibility of technology development. |
| D．The unreasonable dependence on electronics. |
| A．show people’s addiction to electronics. |
| B．persuade people to quit electronics. |
| C．prove electronics are harmful to people. |
| D．tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics. |
| A．People have no interest in traditional paper designs. |
| B．More information tends to be available in electronic forms. |
| C．It is the only way people stay in touch with each other. |
| D．People have fewer chances to communicate in person. |
| A．approving. | B．indifferent. | C．critical. | D．doubtful. |
8 . Though China has increasingly adopted Western influences, the traditional family structure is still highly valued and holds a vital position, in Chinese culture. Both traditional and modern Chinese families have similar values and morals to one another.
In the traditional Chinese family, the man is very important.
Traditional mothers usually stay at home to take care of the home , the children , and the rest of the family.
In many Asian cultures , the elders of the family are respected for their wisdom; In both traditional and modern families, elders are taken care of and looked up to by the rest of the family.
| A．He gains his independence from his family |
| B．Many modern Chinese women have careers |
| C．These have been a part of daily life for many centuries |
| D．Women in modern times are actually completely independent |
| E．He is responsible for maintaining, providing for and protecting his family |
| F．Chinese culture has experienced many dramatic changes in recent years |
| G．In traditional families, including those living in a rural environment, many households include five generations living together |

10 . A report revealed that about 85% of the working mothers surveyed felt that their parenthood had affected their career “in a significant way”. Over 30% of them said that they went through a “long period of mental distress” before announcing their pregnancy at work, and 35% said their bosses immediately started looking for their replacements after learning about their pregnancy.
While Chinese women may no longer sacrifice their careers for their husbands, they are still expected to do so for their children. The study found that nearly half of the mothers left the labor force for at least one year after giving birth, among whom roughly 20% ended up becoming stay-at-home moms. When asked about the impact of motherhood on their identities and life goals, nearly 35% said that the most profound change was how they started to balance between family and work.
The adjustment, however, is not always by choice. Responding to a question about the distribution of child¬care labor in their home, almost 40% of the working mothers said that their husbands basically spent no time on parenting.” Moreover, over half of the husbands didn't use up their paternity leave(陪产假), whereas about 21 percent never took it at all.
Another key finding from the survey was that although it's illegal for Chinese companies to ask a woman about family plans, many employers still do. The unlawful yet prevalent practice has been a main factor influencing women's decisions about timing of motherhood. The survey showed that about 40% of the childless respondents delayed parenthood because of “the time it would take,” which they thought would have a negative impact on their promotion opportunities.
In theory, there has never been a better time than now for working mothers in China to shine. Faced with an aging population and shrinking workforce, Chinese officials encourage Chinese women to have babies while working at the same time.
