Bad eating habits can destroy our health. There are a lot of bad eating habits in our life. For example，watching television while have meals is bad for our health. Doing this mean you don't pay attention to your food，forget what full you are，and often eat too much. Another example is having drinks rather than water. Drinks are usually highly in calorie and sugar，that can cause weight problems. Water is important. It makes your brain cell and every organ in your body to work properly. And eating in front of the computer and staying there after meals may also do harm with our health. For benefit of our health，we should get rid of both of these bad eating habits.

Four ways to get a feel for a college on your own
There's more to visiting a college than a campus（校园）tour. And there's a critical part for students and parents: testing the school on your own. 1.
1.Go to a dining hall or student union.
The best common place where students relax and hang out is the cafeteria or student center，where you can see what college kids are like in their natural habitat.
“Go to lunch in a cafeteria right at noon，”says Edward Walker，founder of Independent Consultants in Education，“ 2.”
2.Sit in on a class.
A lot of high school students aren't sure what they want to study yet when they are visiting colleges，but familiarizing yourself with the academic atmosphere is important. 3. You can come up with a few academic areas that you think you'd like to study and reach out to those classes.
3.4.
Chat with anyone walking around campus. Don't let mom and dad do it for you. “Your parents can talk to people，too and then you can compare notes，"says Walker. "Talk to various groups of students so you'll get a well-rounded picture. ”
Tour the community.
Whether the school is in the countryside or in a city center，check out the off-campus area nearest the college. 5.
A. Talk to parents.
B. Talk to students.
C. Many schools offer people chances to sit in on a class.
D. Here are four ways to get more familiar with a prospective（预期的）school.
E. That's one of the best places where you can learn about a school's atmosphere.
F. Big communities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today.
G. If there's time，tour some of the museums or other points of interest and eat at a local restaurant.
At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or stuck behind a very slow driver. t might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it: "road rage". Some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize this "illness" of road rage?
There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:
●Driving much faster than the speed limit.
●Increasing your speed very quickly.
●Driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn or flashing the headlights.
●Changing lanes very suddenly and blocking another car.
●Moving into a parking space where another ear is trying to park.
There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:
●Making rude signs at people.
●Shouting at people and threatening them.
●Deliberately driving into another person's car.
●Hitting somebody.
●Using a weapon such as a baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife.
Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even murder. Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to he positive.
Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled，but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years，the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let's hope they can have the same success with road rage.
1.Which of the following describes aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving？
A. Making polite signs at people.
B. Shouting at people and threatening them.
C. Driving much faster than the speed limit.
D. Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.
2.Road rage happens possibly because______.
A. we are in a fast-changing society
B. it won't cause serious injuries or death
C. the drivers themselves have done something stupid
D. the drivers won't get severe punishments for dangerous driving
3.What's the tone of the last paragraph？
A. Sad. B. Cold.
C. Optimistic. D. Exciting.
