    Cancelled school, daycare and sports activities means that children are eating all of their meals and snacks at home. 1., social distancing also brings new opportunities.

Studies have found that children who regularly eat family dinners consume more fruits and vegetables, and fewer unhealthy foods than children who don’t. They’re also less likely to be overweight, and more likely to say no to smoking and drugs.

Being stuck at home also provides an opportunity for parents to teach children cooking skills that they can carry into adulthood. 2., and teaches them nutrition and food safety. And, research suggest, doing so may help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. Besides, cooking and baking can be fun ways spend time while bonding with family.

3., however, healthy eating guidelines are the same for children and adults. Meals should be planned around healthy protein foods, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It can be challenging, though, to feed children three well-balanced, nutritious meals day after day during the corona-virus crisis.

When you’re too stressed or too tired to cook, it’s easy to sometimes fall back on children-friendly meals, such as frozen pizza, pasta and cheese, or chicken fingers. That’s perfectly okay; these aren’t normal times.

4.. For example, offer sliced fruit or raw vegetables with the meal or heat up frozen peas to serve with chicken fingers.

As much as possible, keep a routine(常规)around your children’s meal and snack times, which helps to discourage snacking throughout the day.5.

A.While this can add a new stress for parents

B.That’s why it’s helpful to have some extra time at home

C.Kitchen activities may require children’s patience as they learn

D.Children at different ages need different amounts of specific nutrients

E.Sticking to a schedule allows children to feel hungry for their next meal

F.Involving children in the kitchen helps them learn where food comes from

G.When that’s the case, plan easy ways to improve the nutritional quality of meals

    In recent years there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors; salt is bad for you-regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard."There is a direct relationship" US Congressman Neal Smith said "between the amount of sodium (钠) a person consumes and heart disease circulatory（循环的)disorders stroke and even early death."

Frightening if true! But many doctors and medical researches are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far."All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary" Dr. Dustan. insists. "For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan's most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive (高血压的) patients however half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.

"An adequate to somewhat excessive (过度的)salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population" said Dr. John H Laragh. "So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."

Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation” （节制)in salt consumption. For the average person a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day or roughly 1/ 2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing preparation or at the table.

"Na is not your enemy "says Comek’s Dr.Laragh. "Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem，,there is no reason to give it up. "

1.What did Neal Smith think of eating salt?

A.It was necessary.

B.It could lead to some diseases.

C.It was not related to heart disease.

D.It should be guided by the government.

2.What can we infer from Dr. Dustan's study?

A.It's reasonable to have the salt scare.

B.A low-salt diet may be good for some people.

C.The reduction of salt consumption can cure a hypertensive patient.

D.The amount of salt consumption has nothing to do with one's blood pressure.

3.What advice does Dr Laragh give in Para 3?

A.Experts should promote their study of salt.

B.Patients should eat adequate amounts of salt.

C.Doctors should not advise patients to avoid salt.

D.People should not be afraid of taking a bit excessive salt.

4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?

A.The salt scare is still on.

B.Salt consumption has caused many problems.

C.The moderate use of salt is recommended.

D.The cause of hypertension is now understood.

    Smiling is a great way to make yourself stand out while helping your body to function better. Smile to improve your health, your stress level, and your attractiveness;

1.

We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good because anxieties can push people away, but a smile draws them in.

Smiling changes our mood.

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile.  2. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

Smiling is appealing.

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile a lot and you will draw people to you.

Smiling relieves stress.

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. 3. The stress should be reduced and you’ll be better able to take action.

Smiling lowers your blood pressure.

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes and take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. 4.

Smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger.

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don’t go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day—you’ll look younger and feel better.

5.

Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It’s hard. When we smile, our body is sending the rest of us a message that “Life is Good!”

A.Smiling helps you stay positive.

B.Smiling makes us attractive.

C.Do you notice the difference?

    Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.

Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).

The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.

What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.

So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.

1.This experiment was carried out by        

A.dividing the teens into three groups

B.comparing the reactions to different risks

C.giving equal amount of awards to the participants

D.observing the emotional changes of the teenager

2.When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________.

A.ambitious B.cautious C.anxious D.curious

3.Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?

A.Teenagers. B.College students. C.Parent-aged adults. D.Grandparent-aged adults.

4.According to the study, parents should focus on ________.

A.guaranteeing children to be careful B.setting age limits on dangerous activities

C.respecting teens to make their own choices D.guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks

    Getting good at a sport is difficult enough. Mastering one and then reinventing yourself after moving halfway across the world is another story, but Abigail Fernandes is doing just that. The 17-year-old student was a good shooter while studying in Britain. But when she moved back to Hong Kong, China, life suddenly felt a little empty without the eight hours a week of shooting training she’d become used to.

“I decided to go for a sport that might help me get fitter and allow me to protect myself in the future,” she explains. With its high intensity exercise, and chances to build strength, boxing fit the bill perfectly.

“Boxing teaches you patience, but best of all, a hunger to learn,” she said. “The values and lessons the sport teaches you can all be used in both your day-to-day life and education.”

Now, she has been boxing for just a little more than three years and loves the challenges that this sport offers. She trains 10 hours a week with her coach Jim, who has helped her to grow as an athlete (运动员) and a person.

Though she has made great progress, she thinks being able to deal with hits in the ring is her biggest challenge. “When you get hit in the ring, it’s so easy to burst into tears and give up, but this gets you nowhere,” she says. “I want to be able to take hits and accept them. These are skills that can only be learned through countless sessions of sparring (轻拳出击). The first time I sparred I cried, so I’m proud of myself for never turning down a sparring session,” she says.

Abigail says that though her training is pretty boring, she’ll keep practicing as she looks for a competition where she can put her skills to the test. “I have a long way to go,” she says, “but I want to learn everything this sport has to offer!”

1.When did Abigail start boxing?

A.When she studied in Britain. B.Before she became a shooter.

C.After she came back to China. D.While she traveled half the world.

2.Why did Abigail decide to box?

A.To protect her family. B.To prove her athletic ability.

C.To earn a living in the future. D.To make her healthy and strong.

3.What is Abigail’s opinion on boxing?

A.It is too dangerous. B.It is a waste of time.

C.It changes her values. D.It helps her in many ways.

In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations General Assembly has named “May 21”as International Tea Day. 2. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. 3.. Making Malaysia's pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects.  As an expression of Moroccan hospitality(好客)and tradition, mint tea-a mix of green tea,  spearmint leaves and sugar-is served during gatherings.

“Apart from its cultural significance, tea is also a medicine.” Tea is cold and lowers the fire, Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. 4.Preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer has all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US.

    New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees. 

A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.

The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.

Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press,” This technology is thousands of years old-the dog's nose. We've just trained dogs to hunt new prey. ”

Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. ”The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic(流行病）by removing infected trees, ”Gottwald said.

Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.

Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.

Gottwald said, “You've seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”

1.According to the research, trained dogs can

A.help infected trees recover from diseases

B.recognize a crop disease in its early stage

C.cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual

D.reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees

2.What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Infected plants. B.Fruit trees. C.Tiny insects. D.Favourite foods.

3.Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants?

A.To further prove the findings. B.To explore the plant diseases.

C.To present different opinions. D.To discover a plant's reactions.

4.How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method?

A.Doubtful. B.Confident. C.Uninterested. D.Curious.

    Growing up in America, I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive, well-packaged foods of the 20th century, including all the candies we often see near the cash register.

During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was, and in fact, neither was anyone around me. So I continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.

Strangely enough, I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug: it gave me the energy to function properly, to feel good and to perform at my best, all of which seemed necessary for growth. So why avoid it?

Years later, huge food companies, like General Mills and Post, began pumping more sugar into their products, and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies. It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit. And from what?

From sugar!

I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies. To my amazement, I found its damage was just as bad as, if not worse than, what alcohol and cigarettes brought about. You see, when you take in more sugar than you need or burn, your body and brain become over-active. This, in effect, causes your cognitive abilities to slow down, your mood to get to the extremes, your skin to age faster, your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.

But what surprised me most, out of all of these horrible side effects, was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline, even if you do exercise regularly. And what I've always wanted, for the past few years, is to remove that extra fat around my “love handles” so that I could finally see my abs(腹肌).

I just didn't know, this whole time, what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams, but I knew I had to do something. Something I had never done before.

1.What did the writer mean by “wonderful drug” in the third paragraph?

A.Sugar could be a cure for some diseases. B.He benefited a lot from consuming sugar.

C.Sugar could make his life more convenient. D.He had a better relationship with his friends.

2.Why did huge food companies add more sugar into their products?

A.To satisfy the taste of the general population. B.To encourage people to eat more properly.

C.To meet the requirements for food safety. D.To raise awareness of keeping healthy.

3.What did the writer find in his research?

A.Sugar causes much less harm than alcohol. B.Sugar lovers gain no weight with exercise.

C.Sugar lovers experience changeable moods. D.Sugar reduces people's ability to understand.

4.After the passage, the writer will most probably write about         

A.how he dreams big B.how he takes exercise

C.how he cuts sugar D.how he stops skin aging

    I remember that every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home in the little envelope.

“For the rent.” Mama would say, counting out the big silver pieces.

“For the groceries.” Another pile of coins.

“Teacher says this week I'll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side.

We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask,” Is that all?” When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile,” Good. We do not have to go to the Bank downtown.” We were all so proud of Mama's Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. No one else we knew had money in a big bank downtown.

I remember when the Jensens down the street were put out because they couldn't pay their rent. We children watched the big strange men carry out the furniture, ignoring the tears of Mrs. Jensens. “Might this, could this, happen to us?”

“We have a Bank Account.” Mama comforted me calmly, and suddenly I could breathe again.

Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.

That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama's and put it in her lap.” For you, I said,” to put in your Bank Account.” I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama's hair was silver now.

Mama fingered the check and looked at Papa.” Good,” she said, and her eyes were proud.

“Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.”

“You will go with me, Katrin? But...”Mama stopped for a moment and looked at me.

“There is no account,” she continued. “In all my life, I've never been inside a bank.”

And when I didn't-couldn't-answer, Mama said seriously. “It is not good for little ones to be afraid-to not feel secure.”

1.What can we learn about the family twenty years ago?

A.They lived downtown. B.They were badly in debt.

C.They had money in the bank. D.They were careful with money.

2.What happened to the Jensens made the children feel      

A.ashamed B.disappointed C.worried D.amazed

3.What did Mama hesitate about at the end of the story?

A.How to comfort her child. B.How to spend the money.

C.Whether to tell the truth. D.Whether to go to the Bank.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.

The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and  help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.

Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.

Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.

Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.

Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.

Practical tips to stay fit for Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is here and lots of people may not only ruin their usual diets, but also gain a few extra pounds.1.. Excessive eating is claimed to be the main cause for the additional weight gain, but it is also due to lack of physical activity and exercise. A lot of individuals out there tend to set aside their fitness routines during the holidays since they believe that they do not have enough time to perform their workouts. And because they feel guilty after  the holiday season,  most  of  the  gyms  and  fitness  centers  are  packed  with  fresh  members. 2.. Here are several useful tips that might help you.

Eat before heading out. It is best that you eat something before heading out to visits, trips or family dinners. You will no longer be tempted to eat a lot or overindulge yourself since you have already eaten.

Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast! Even though it can be tempting to skip on certain meals, believing that it will make up for the treats you consumed in the previous day, don’t do it because it will only lead to counterproductive results.

3.. Alcohol, coke or other juices will only add more calories to the ones you already ate!

Make the holidays a family affair. Plan outdoor activities where everyone is involved. Even a tour at the shopping mall will burn a lot of calories and keep the children entertained.

You’d better distribute your meals evenly throughout the day, and do not eat everything at once. 4.. Eat your dinner earlier and have a nice walk before going to bed.

These tips will help you avoid gaining weight during the holiday, and will also allow you to enjoy yourself and have a great time with your loved ones. So there you go!

A.Try to do exercise early in the morning while everyone else is still sleeping.

B.Always bear in mind that you can enjoy the holidays and stay fit at the same time.

C.Instead of having two enormous meals, have five small ones.

D.Based on studies, the majority of people tend to gain additional weight during the holiday season.

E.It is best to regulate your drinking.

F.Prioritize your workouts and try your best to avoid neglecting meals.

    Many employees must be tempted to query on a daily basis when they see their bosses headed down the wrong track. But caution, for fear of appearing insubordinate or foolish and thus possibly at risk of losing their jobs, often leads workers to keep silent.

A culture of silence can be dangerous, argues a new book, “The Fearless Organization”, by Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School. Some of her examples are from the airline industry. One was its deadliest accident: a crash between Boeing 747s in the Canary Islands in 1977 when a co-pilot felt unable to query his captain’s decision to take off based on a misunderstanding of instructions from air-traffic control.

The risks may be lower than life or death in most organizations, but companies also suffer  when people keep silent, Ms Edmondson believes. Volkswagen was caught up in a scandal(丑闻) over diesel(柴油)emissions from 2015. The engines of its diesel models did not meet American emissions standards and engineers devised a system to fool the regulators. Ms Edmondson says the company’s culture had been one based on threaten and fear; Ferdinand Piëch, its longtime boss, boasted of telling engineers they had six weeks to improve the bodywork fitting on pain of dismissal. In the circumstances, engineers were understandably unwilling to mention the bad news on emissions standards and instead worked around the problem. In a corporate culture based on fear and intimidation, it may appear that targets are being achieved in the short term. But in the long run the effect is likely to be counterproductive. Studies show that fear inhibits learning. And when confronted with a problem, scared workers find ways of covering it up or getting around it with inefficient practices.

The answer is to create an atmosphere of “psychological safety” whereby workers can speak their minds. In a sense, this is the equivalent of Toyota’s “lean manufacturing” process, which allows any worker who spots a problem to stop the production line. This does not mean that workers, or their ideas, are immune from criticism, or that they should complain incessantly.

As mundane(平凡的)tasks are automated, and workers rely on computers for data analysis, the added value of humans will stem from their creativity. But as Ms Edmondson’s book amply demonstrates, it is hard to be either constructive or creative if you are not confident about speaking out.

1.The underlined word “insubordinate” means    .

A.being inferior B.disobeying a superior

C.getting aggressive D.being ignorant

2.We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that    .

A.Volkswagen’s engineers designed a system to meet American emissions standards

B.when facing problems, scared workers resolve them directly

C.Volkswagen’s engineers were at risk of losing jobs

D.the culture of fear and intimidation must be counterproductive in the long term.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?

A.A culture of being silent can be life-threatening.

B.The risk of keeping silent is not necessarily associated with life and death.

C.Volkswagen’s culture is on the basis of fear.

D.The value of humans lies in originality in today’s highly-automated world.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.An introduction to Amy Edmondson’s new book.

B.The disadvantages of fear and intimidation culture.

C.Companies will perform better if employees are not threatened into silence.

D.People need to be confident when they are speaking out.
