1.For many parents, helping children develop healthy eating habits is a struggle. With the hectic pace of many families' lives and with more women working full time, even health-conscious parents are finding it easy to tolerate less than desirable eating habits.2." A lot of parents don't want to strugglewith the issue so they give up, letting kids make their own choices," says Jane Ress, director of nutrition service/education in adolescent medicine and lecturer in pediatrics at the Univer sity of Washington School of Medicine and Public Health.“But children's judgment is less mature and they still depend on parents to guide them."3.It is best to start training children about foods as soon as they can talk since they are most influenced by their families during the preschool years. Additionally, research has shown that heart and blood vessel disease can begin very early and that hardening of the arteries can be associated with a high-fat diet.4.Parents should carefully read food labels to check nutrients and ingredients. Most kids are attracted to the advertising and packaging of food, including highly sugared cereals. Rees suggests fitting them in occasionally as a treat in an overall diet that is focused on low sugar, low fat, and unprocessed foods.5.Although it's a myth that children become hyperactive by eating too much sugar, sugary food is still bad for oral health, can be stored as fat, and aggravates diabetes, says Rees. However, completely denying children sugar will only make it more tempting.6.Ress suggests involving young children in the food preparation process. For example, teach children how to set the table during their preschool years. Taken them grocery shopping. Let them choose some fruits and vegetables as well as the occasional treats, advises Rees. " You will see their capabilities grow enormously“ she says. " However, if parents don't follow the natural signs that kids are ready to help, they will lose the window of opportunity."7.Developing children's attitude toward food should be similar to teaching them how to handle money-by giving them growing responsibility along with sensible access. If children are properly prepared, they are more likely to make healthy food choices once they enter school. They will probably experiment some, but they will have a preference for fresh foods like fruits and vegetables along with foods like French fries, says Rees.8.What about changing the diet of children who have already fallen into the junk food habit? Once children reach age 10 or 12, it is very difficult to change their habits or force them to eat healthier foods. Rees suggests calling a family meeting to rationally discuss ways to eliminate most junk foods and substitute more nutritious ones. If they learn to eat a well- balanced diet, they won't need vitamin supplements, she says.9." Nutritional guidance won't work unless you have built up a good sense of nutrition overtime,”says Rees. However, even children who have developed a taste for nutritious food may change when they reach teenage years. Teenagers like to experiment with everything, including riskyfood behavior. They might gravitate toward highly processed foods, but once they become older and more independent they are likely to return to the healthy habits they had when growing up."10Other common problems among teenagers include girls who may view food as a treat to slimness, or boys who take muscle-building supplements. About 25% to 40% of teenagers are overweight, mostly from lack of exercise in combination with eating too much fat and sugar. This problem can turn into an emotionone and become a vicious circle-eating, or starving, to cope with unhappiness.11."If you see a real eating problem and there is anger and conflict," advises Rees,"seek professional intervention." Helpful support of family, friends and healthcare professionals is the best method for addressing eating disorders.1.对许多父母来说，培养孩子健康的饮食习惯不是件容易的事。

Unit1Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

Learning, Chinese-StyleHoward Gardner 1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

一单元One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。

2)Persist（持续的）headache can be a(n) indication of a serious problem, so do not hesitate to contact your doctor.持续的头痛可能是严重的问题的一个标志，所以不要犹豫，联系你的医生。

3)A miniature garden takes little space but adds much beauty to the landscape.一个微型花园占地小却增加了很多美丽的风景。

4)It is more than a little ironic that some insurance companies can’t even ensure their own survival.这不仅仅是一个小小的讽刺，有些保险公司甚至不能保证自己的生存。

5)This former chemistry student stumbled into the baking business when he took a part-time job at a bakery and learned the art of bread making in the summer time.当在夏季时他找到了一份在一家面包店的兼职工作并学习做面包的艺术，这位从前学化学的学生闯入了烘焙领域。

Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。

美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。

在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。

2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。

这是为什么？因为“众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。

若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。

3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。

最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。

“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？”对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。

很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。

4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。

5. 请允许我解释一下。

我活跃政界二十余年。

除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。

6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。

她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。

这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。

最高奖励。

担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。

7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。

竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。

The story of Anne Frank's diary安妮·弗兰克日记的故事1 On 13 June 1944, Anne Frank celebrated her 15th birthday with a few modest presents, including some underwear, a couple of belts, some yoghurt, and a pot of jam. After several years in hiding, she was grateful for the gifts, but aware that life during the war was very different to peacetime, which she missed.1944年6月13日,安妮·弗兰克度过了她的15岁生日。

她收到了不少礼物：几件内衣、两根腰带、一些酸奶和一罐果酱。

在藏身了几年之后，她对于收到这些礼物非常感激，但她心里明白现在的战争时期与她想念的和平时期十分不同。

2 Anne Frank wrote her now famous diary while she and her family were in hiding in "the secret annexe", a few rooms in the back of her father's office in Amsterdam, Holland.安妮·弗兰克写下了她现已出名的日记，当时她和她的家人躲在“秘室”里，那是她父亲在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的办公室后面的几间屋子。

3 The Franks were in fact refugees, Jews from Germany who had emigrated to Holland, settling in Amsterdam to escape from Nazi persecution. But when, in May 1940, the German army invaded and occupied Holland, the persecution of the Dutch Jews very quickly began there too.弗兰克一家实际上是难民，是从德国移民到荷兰的犹太人，定居在阿姆斯特丹以逃避纳粹的迫害。

新一代大学英语2课文翻译UNIT 1About 2,400 years ago in Athens a man was put to death for asking too many questions. There were philosophers before him, but it was with Socrates that a the subject really took off. If philosophy has a patron saint it is Socrates.大约是2,400 年以前，在雅典，有一个人因为问了太多问题被判了死刑。

在他之前，也有许多哲学家，可哲学这门学科却是从他——苏格拉底开始，才进入一个真正腾飞的阶段。

苏格拉底之于哲学，就是一位引路和守护的圣人。

As a young man he had been a brave soldier fighting in the Peloponnesian War against the Spartans and their allies.In middle age he shuffled around the marketplace, stopping people from time to time and asking them awkward questions. That was more or less all he did. But the questions he asked were razor-sharp. They seemed straightforward; but they weren’t.年轻时的苏格拉底曾是一名勇敢的战士，参与了伯罗奔尼撒战争，抵御斯巴达人及其盟军。

到了中年，他在市集随处走动，时不时拦下路人，问他们一些难以回答的问题。

他差不多就只干这个。

但他的问题都很犀利，看似简单直白，实际却不好回答。

and I acknowledge that nothing I say can XXX disappointment.Moving forward。

XXX on your performance in the course and identify areas where you can improve。

While a B is a respectable grade。

Unit 7 Letter to a B Student课文翻译综合教程二Unit 7 Letter to a B StudentDear B Student,I hope this letter finds you well. As your fellow classmate, I wanted to take a moment to commend you on your academic achievements. While some may view a B grade as average or even subpar, I genuinely believe that it represents a level of dedication and hard work that should not go unnoticed.In a competitive learning environment, such as ours, it is easy to become fixated on achieving perfect scores or being at the top of the class. However, I believe that success should not be solely defined by academic achievements, but rather by personal growth, perseverance, and the pursuit of knowledge.Throughout our time together in this course, I have witnessed your dedication and commitment to your studies. Your consistent B grades reflect your ability to grasp and apply the concepts taught in class. Your participation in discussions and willingness to ask questions have not only enriched your own learning experience, but that of your peers as well.Being a B student is not a mark of failure, but rather a testament to your willingness to learn and grow. It signifies that you are actively engaging with the course material, putting in the effort, and making progress. Often, it is the B students who possess a deep understanding of the subject matter, asthey have taken the time to truly comprehend the material, rather than merely memorizing facts.I believe that academic success is not limited to achieving top grades, but encompasses a range of skills and qualities that will benefit you in the long run. Your ability to balance your academic commitments with other aspects of your life, such as extracurricular activities, personal relationships, and self-care, is admirable. It demonstrates a well-rounded approach to education and a recognition of the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.While your grades may not always reflect the effort you put in or the knowledge you possess, it is important to remember that they do not define your worth as a student or as an individual. Your commitment to your education and the skills you have developed along the way are far more valuable than a letter grade on a piece of paper.Continue to embrace the challenges that come your way, for it is through these challenges that we truly grow. Keep up the excellent work and remember that being a B student is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is something to be proud of.Wishing you continued success and growth,Your Fellow Classmate。

新标准⼤学英语综合教程2Unit7课⽂翻译Unit 7Active reading (1)保护瑟伦要去⽇本学⽊⼯⼿艺，临⾛前他问我能否收留他的狗霍根。

我说：“当然可以，它可以保护我。

”最近我们家附近常有抢劫案发⽣，我在马塞诸塞州的房⼦北⾯靠湖，西⾯被树林环绕，晚上坏⼈可以神不知⿁不觉地溜进来。

瑟伦哈哈⼤笑。

他说：“有陌⽣⼈进门时，霍根也不⼀定会叫。

如果来了个夜贼，他或许还会去舔他。

”不过，霍根感觉到他跟我的关系与他跟瑟伦的关系有所不同。

瑟伦体格强壮，⽽且相对来说⽐较勇敢，他并不需要太多的保护。

匆忙赶路时，瑟伦会像抱⼩孩那样⼀下⼦把霍根抱到⽪卡的货箱上。

我可抱不动他，我的体重和霍根差不多，⽽且他还⽐我年轻⼒壮。

作为⼥⼈，我所⾯临的危险是瑟伦和霍根根本不可能知道的。

在我这⾥⽣活了⼀周之后，只要⼀有陌⽣⼈靠近家门，霍根就开始吠叫。

我们之间的保护关系其实早就存在了，起初我是保护者。

瑟伦第⼀次把霍根托付给我看管时，他Animal plane t Unit 7225还只是⼀只七个⽉⼤的⼩狗，它只在我家⾥过了⼀个周末。

那是11 ⽉底⼀个寒冷的早晨，湖⽔刚开始结冰。

湖⾯上的⼀层薄冰能托得住吹落的树叶和细⼩的树枝，但是还太脆弱，远不能承受动物的⽖⼦。

那时我正在后院晾⾐服，长长的晒⾐绳拴在房⼦旁的⼀棵参天橡树和湖边的⼀棵云杉之间。

⼀条淡蓝⾊的床单随风飘起，眼看着就要掠过湖⾯飞上天空。

当我奋⼒地⽤⾐服夹⼦夹床单时，霍根正在我腿边玩得⽓喘嘘嘘，⼀段两英尺长的橡树枝成了他的宝贝，被他叼来叼去。

由于⼀⼼只想着揪住床单，让它平整伏贴地悬挂在晒⾐绳上，我⼼不在焉地捡起那段树枝，朝⼭坡下将我们家院⼦与湖⽔隔开的围栏⽅向扔了过去。

我以前也经常这样为他扔⽊头。

根据⽊头的不同重量和我的动作的⼤⼩，我知道它们⼤概能飞多远。

但这块⽊头赶上了⼀阵疾风，朝着床单想去的⽅向飞过了院⼦，越过了围栏，最后以溜冰⾼⼿般的优美动作滑进湖⽔⾥。

Unit 7 Letter to a B StudentYour final grade for the course is B. A respectable grade. Far superior to the "Gentleman's C" that served as the norm a couple of generations ago. But in those days A's were rare: only two out of twenty-five, as I recall. Whatever our norm is, it has shifted upward, with the result that you are probably disappointed at not doing better. I'm certain that nothing I can say will remove that feeling of disappointment, particularly in a climate where grades determine eligibility for graduate school and special programs.Disappointment. It's the stuff bad dreams are made of: dreams of failure, inadequacy, loss of position and good repute. The essence of success is that there's never enough of it to go round in a zero-sum game where one person's winning must be offset by another's losing, one person's joy offset by another's disappointment. You've grown up in a society where winning is not the most important thing—it's the only thing. To lose, to fail, to go under, to go broke—these are deadly sins in a world where prosperity in the present is seen as a sure sign of salvation in the future. In a different society, your disappointment might be something you could shrug away. But not in ours.My purpose in writing you is to put your disappointment in perspective by considering exactly what your grade means and doesn't mean. I do not propose to argue here that grades are unimportant. Rather, I hope to show you that your grade, taken at face value, is apt to be dangerously misleading, both to you and to others. As a symbol on your college transcript, your grade simply means that you have successfully completed a specific course of study, doing so at a certain level of proficiency. The level of your proficiency has been determined by your performance of rather conventional tasks: taking tests, writing papers and reports, and so forth. Your performance is generally assumed to correspond to the knowledge you have acquired and will retain. But this assumption, as we both know, is questionable; it may well be that you've actually gotten much more out of the course than your grade indicates—or less. Lacking more precise measurement tools, we must interpret your B as a rather fuzzy symbol at best, representing a questionable judgment of your mastery of the subject.Your grade does not represent a judgment of your basic ability or of your character. Courage, kindness, wisdom, good humor—these are the important characteristics of our species. Unfortunately they are not part of our curriculum. But they are important: crucially so, because they are always in short supply. Ifyou value these characteristics in yourself, you will be valued—and far more so than those whose identities are measured only by little marks on a piece of paper. Your B is a price tag on a garment that is quite separate from the living, breathing human being underneath.The student as performer; the student as human being. The distinction is one we should always keep in mind. I first learned it years ago when I got out of the service and went back to college. There were a lot of us then: older than the norm, in a hurry to get our degrees and move on, impatient with the tests and rituals of academic life. Not an easy group to handle.One instructor handled us very wisely, it seems to me. On Sunday evenings in particular, he would make a point of stopping in at a local bar frequented by many of the GI-Bill students. There he would sit and drink, joke, and swap stories with men in his class, men who had but recently put away their uniforms and identities: former platoon sergeants, bomber pilots, corporals, captains, lieutenants, commanders, majors—even a lieutenant colonel, as I recall. They enjoyed his company greatly, as he theirs. The next morning he would walk into class and give these same men a test. A hard test. A test on which he usually flunked about half of them. Oddly enough, the men whom he flunked did not resent it. Nor did they resent him for shifting suddenly from a friendly gear to a coercive one. Rather, they loved him, worked harder and harder at his course as the semester moved along, and ended up with a good grasp of his subject—economics. The technique is still rather difficult for me to explain; but I believe it can be described as one in which a clear distinction was made between the student as classroom performer and the student as human being. A good distinction to make. A distinction that should put your B in perspective—and your disappointment.Perspective. It is important to recognize that human beings, despite differences in class and educational labeling, are fundamentally hewn from the same material and knit together by common bonds of fear and joy, suffering and achievement. Warfare, sickness, disasters, public and private—these are the larger coordinates of life. To recognize them is to recognize that social labels are basically irrelevant and misleading. It is true that these labels are necessary in the functioning of a complex society as a way of letting us know who should be trusted to do what, with the result that we need to make distinctions on the basis of grades, degrees, rank, and responsibility. But these distinctions should never be taken seriously in human terms, either in the way we look at others or in the way we look at ourselves.Even in achievement terms, your B label does not mean that you are permanently defined as a B achievement person. I'm well aware that B students tend to get B's in the courses they take later on, just as A students tend to get A's. But academic work is a narrow, neatly defined highway compared to the unmapped rolling country you will encounter after you leave school. What you have learned may help you find your way about at first; later on you will have to shift to yourself, locating goals and opportunities in the same fog that hampers us all as we move toward the future.写给中等生的一封信你的期末成绩是一个B，一个过得去的等级。
