It doesn’t take a lot to live a healthy live. That parents often have family meals with their children ranks first. A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E. During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills. When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of school-aged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge. When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating. Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children. Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary-building words to help them read and communicate better. Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better self-esteem（自尊）. In conclusion, family meals are very important. 1.The writer wants to tell us that . A.eating together with family is a good chance to teach children B.it's more favorable for children to eat with their families C.it's desirable for children to eat more regularly D.enjoying family meals is equal to eating a big and delicious dinner 2.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Having a company meal is easy to become fatter and fatter. B.In the mealtime, parents should set a good example of healthy eating. C.Family meals can help children with a higher level of nutrition knowledge. D.Family meals can make children form a good habit of eating. 3.What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 6 mean? A.find B.replace C.prevent D.improve 4.What is the passage mainly about? A.Why family is important to kids. B.How to eat in a healthy way. C.How to raise children well. D.Why family meals are important.

The sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus（新冠状病毒）left an uncommon threat. We don’t know how bad it will be, nor do we know for how long it will spread. But we do know that it has already infected more than 11,998,020 people and killed many around the world. It has also caused serious economic damage. We need to adapt our responses to different countries and different parts of the same country in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response. Data is key to all successful public health programs. In Arrian, we raised tobacco taxes and made all indoor public places smoke-free. Smoking rates declined at first but then the decline stopped. Because we had a tracking system in place, we realized that progress had stopped. So, we produced strong and direct no tobacco ads to the public. Our program quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 100,000 deaths. Every country facing the coronavirus disease needs to strengthen their data systems to track diseases, investigate skillfully and respond fast and successfully. Fast action will save lives and save money. But building the capacity to do this isn’t free. It will cost about $1 to $2 per person per year for at least 10 years-at least $30 billion. That’s a lot of money for public health, but it’s a tiny part of the amount lost when we don’t know what we need to know about health threats. Getting the data right is hardly quick and never easy, but it is always very important if we want to respond successfully, limit spread, and protect our communities and economy. 1.Which of the following can best describe the measure taken in Arrian? A.proud B.unpopular C.modest D.effective 2.Why does the author talk about smoking in Paragraph 2? A.To warn us that smoking is harmful. B.To suggest us how to reduce smoking. C.To show the significant role of data. D.To protect people’s physical health. 3.What is the author’s opinion on the building of the capacity of fast response? A.It is too expensive and many countries cannot afford it. B.It is worthwhile and necessary to develop such a capacity. C.It supports communities and save lives and money. D.It requires a tiny part of the amount lost by threats. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A.The secret of widespread threat B.The secret of successful response C.The secret of uncommon disease D.The secret of right data

Smiling can infect everyone and light up our day. Well, it was at the market at 5 pm — the worst time of day to shop. I had to pick up a few essentials after work: cream for coffee, eggs for breakfast and Advil for my headache. I’d been rushing all day doing jobs for people. I did not want to be shopping, to say the least. But I told myself it was my last stop before going home to put my feet up. So I scored (得到) a parking place, grabbed a bag from the trunk and found a shopping cart. The market wasn’t as crowded as I had expected. I grabbed a package of linguini (意粉) and some pesto. That’s when I saw her. She was sitting in a shopping cart. She looked to be maybe 9 months old. Short blond curls, blue eyes. A white lace dress and shiny black shoes. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Then I did what I always do with children: I gave her my best smile. I may have looked a bit mad, but it came from my heart. That is a habit I formed long ago when I became a mother. It started with my first child, in that unforgettable, life-changing moment. At times my smile would fade to a look of fear or worry, but it never left my face for long. It always came back, even through tears. I’ve learned that everyone needs a smile sometimes, young and old, friends and strangers, even strangers at the market in a rush to get home. She took her time deciding just what to make of my smile. But finally, she lit up. I laughed and waved goodbye. And she blew me a kiss. That put a smile on my face and I got a smile in return from every shopper I passed. I was still smiling when I got home and realized I’d forgotten to get Advil. Luckily, I didn’t need it. My headache was gone. Somehow, in that simple exchange of smiles, this weary (使人厌烦的) old world became a better place. Want to change the world? Try smiling. Someone will smile back at you. I guarantee it. If you’re lucky, maybe they’ll even blow you a kiss and make your headache go away. 1.What can we know about the author from the first four paragraphs? A.She couldn’t wait to go shopping. B.She didn’t know what to buy at the market. C.She wasn’t satisfied with the goods in the market. D.She didn’t want to go to the market at that time. 2.What does the underlined word “That” refer to? A.Shopping in the afternoon. B.Suffering from a headache. C.Smiling at kids she meets. D.Observing different people. 3.What happened to the author after meeting the girl? A.She thought about her childhood. B.She got blank looks from others. C.She began to feel better. D.She wanted to kiss the girl. 4.What is the main purpose of this article? A.To show how to find joy in shopping. B.To share her thoughts on smiling in a story. C.To advise on how to cure headaches. D.To show how to communicate with children.

Move towards nature when feeling down. Miracles do happen if you try. According to studies, walking among trees makes us relaxed. 1. There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults. 2. Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect. For the study, researchers worked with 206 children between the ages of 5 and 15. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 3. They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy. So, exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. 4. Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. 5. What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment. A.It’s so adventurous going for a walk around trees. B.Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s performance and nature. C.And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children. D.Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies. E.They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave properly. F.In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors. G.Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
