    Many kids would likely argue that their lunchtime is too short.While the precious breaks after class are used to relax and chat with friends, students also need to scarf_down a full meal to fuel them through the rest of the day.

But it is found that students need more than few minutes to consume (消耗) those much­needed nutrients (营养).Longer lunchtime is healthier.The study compared food choices with the amount of time students are given to eat.Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less, including nutritional fruits and vegetables.

Nationwide, the average (平均的) lunchtime is about 30 minutes. But researchers found that the real lunchtime can get cut down to less than 10 minutes.Researchers researched 1,001 students in low­income neighborhoods in Massachusetts that had lunchtime between 20 and 30 minutes.Students with shorter lunchtime were less likely to even choose a fruit in their lunch:44 percent of students with 20­minute time picked up an apple or orange.

More than 30 million children, half of all public school children nationwide, according to the Southern Education Foundation, eat low­cost or free lunches every day under the National School Lunch program.With the 2010 Healthy, Hunger­Free Kids Act, school lunches have seen an overhaul (详细检查) in their nutritional guidelines, with an increase in whole grains (全谷类), low­fat choices, fruits and vegetables.

While increasing lunchtime and cutting into class time may not be a possible choice for many schools, whose funding depends on the results of tests.Researchers suggested simplifying the lunch lines so that students can make the most out of the time they have.

A.Because the students will not have the enough healthy choice.

    When your baby get older, you’re faced with the most challenging problem of all: How to get him or her best education you can.

“There was a time when you could enroll your child in kindergarten and about 13 years sit on one of those folding chairs and touch your eyes as they graduated from high school” Peg Tyre says.

These days the difficult decision of where to send your kid to school starts early.You have to choose a school when your child might only be three or four years old.When you go on a school tour, Tyre says, don’t judge the place just by the finger paintings decorating the hallways.

“You want to look at the relationship between teacher and student” she says.”What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids, who seem to know their strengths and weaknesses.”

There’s a myth Tyre wants to say that has to end that all teachers are good teachers and can be moved around from classroom to classroom like bricks.

“That’s just not true” she says.”One of the things I would say is a teacher who is in their first year is not a wonderful sign for an effective teacher for your child.They tend to be kind, they have a lot of energy, but they are not that effective in that first year.” So what do you do if your child is placed in a classroom with an inexperienced teacher? Don’t march straight to the principal’s office and demand a change, Tyre says.

“You can go to the principal and you can ask this question: What are you doing to support that teacher this year so that my child moves forward this year and is not just a guinea pig (实验对象) for your first­year teacher

Many parents know when they tour a school to ask about class size.But Tyre says the research doesn’t suggest that a smaller class size is a must.”When you look at the really research on class size, class size is very important from kindergarten to third grade ...After third grade there’s less of an effect on academic result.” she says.

D.All teachers aren’t good teachers in fact.

4.What was Tyre’s attitude towards class size?

    If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are reading ,listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
