It may be difficult to maintain (维持) healthy eating habits while leading a busy life, but it is not impossible. The five simple tips below will help you have a healthy eating plan to fit into your busy schedule.
1.
Just grab (抓) a sheet of paper and outline the meals you will have Monday – Sunday. This makes food shopping and preparation so much easier. Placing Post-it notes on your refrigerator where you will see the plan every day works just as well.
2.
You can cook one main ingredient recipe on Monday, and then use that same recipe for different meals throughout the week. Chicken, for example, can be eaten for dinner one night. What’s left over can be diced and used to make an easy Chicken Salad Sandwich for lunch the next day.
3.
If you think your freezer is just for storing half eaten cartons (盒) of ice cream, you should think again. You can prepare a bunch of one-dish meals like casseroles, chilies, and stews, and then freeze them. When you’re ready to eat, just pop your meal into the oven or place it on the stove (火炉) and you have a hot, fresh, home-cooked meal in no time.
4.
Healthy breakfast shakes and smoothies will leave you feeling energized and full for a few good hours. There are so many delicious ways to mix up your shakes and smoothies that you’ll never get bored.
5.
If you eat lunch at your work place, pack your meal for the next day. You can also pack your own healthy snacks, such as nuts, dried fruits, etc., and take it with you in an insulated bag (保温袋).

Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there? On Oct. 15th, 2019, 50 Chinese scientists set sail from Shenzhen, heading for Antarctica. This was our country's 36th Antarctic expedition. The ship, Xuelong 2, is the first icebreaker made in China. Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers.
It can sail to any place around the world in one trip without refueling (加燃料). It can work in temperatures as low as -30%℃. It is the first in the world to use two-way ice-breaking technology, which means that it can break the ice while moving forward or backward.
Because of Antarctica's special environment, scientists from around the world have been there to do studies for many years. The study of Antarctica's geology (地质) is also important. Rock in Antarctica can tell scientists what the weather was like a long time ago. And they can help scientists understand how the earth has changed over time. There are also many wild animals, such as penguins and seals. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them.
As we all know, life in Antarctica is not easy－it's cold and sometimes dangerous. But scientists say it's still quite fun. For example, some scientists study how penguins walk, what they eat and why they move from one place to another. They are excited to see the cute animals playing around. They hope their studies can help protect them.
Xuelong 2 finished its tasks and returned to Shanghai on April 22, 2020.
