It can keep your body strong, so take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy products group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least （至少）one food from all the four main groups. With all these food together you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into（=form形成，养成）bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired during these days and you can not think quickly. Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air（在户外）. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key （关键）to your health.31. Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?A. Eggs, tomatoes and chicken.B. Milk, bread, cabbages and beef.C. Corn, fish, cream and pork.D. Rice, beancurd, apples, fish and chicken.32. Which of the following is a good eating habit?A. Going to school without any breakfast.B. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time.C. Finishing your lunch in a very short time.D. Having at least one food from all the four groups each meal.33. In this passage the writer mainly tells us that ______.A. every person needs food to grow wellB. taking exercise can keep your body strongC. right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyD. enough energy helps people think more quicklyB.Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted （认为…是理所当然的）. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives theproper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like（=such as 比如）meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount （数量）of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in（=lead to; cause导致）a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.34. According to the passage,_________.A .we should always keep fitB. if we were healthy, we could spend our days in doing things with less sleepC. one can eat a lot to stay in good shapeD. one needn't take any exercise if he is healthy35.In order to keep good health, ___________ .A. we should eat a lot of sweetsB. one needs a large amount of fatC. people should eat according to the foods nutritionD. we must try to sleep now and then36. Eating more and sleeping less________.A. can keep healthyB. is no good for youC. gets you more energyD. will keep your personality37.The writer explains ________in this passage.A. how to eatB. the importance of doing exerciseC. how to keep healthyD. what to eat38.The title of the article should be___________ .A. Eating and ExercisingB. How Vitamins Work in Man's BodyC. Staying HealthyD. Sleeping WellC.Isn't it astonishing （=surprising; amazing）how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?”“What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of (= a lot of; much)beer, and the French drink wine (白酒)every day.The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to bedelicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealander eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense （常识）in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.39. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. All people have the same feeling about food.B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.D. The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.40. People in different countries .A. drink the same sort of wineB. have the same eating habitC. eat different kinds of meatD. have the same tea at different time within a day41. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat .A. because they dislike its smellB. because it is too expensiveC. because it is easy to go badD. because they think it will do harm to their health42. English people drink tea four or five times a day .A. because they get thirsty easilyB. because there is plenty of tea in BritainC. because of their drinking habitD. because they have enough time to do soD． Test Your Nutrition IQIf you cut out starchy foods，such as peas，potatoes，bread，and rice, you cut out very good sources of several vitamins，such as vitamin B and vitamin C，and other nutrition．Furthermore （此外），there’s nothing magical about protein．The simple truth is that you have to either eat fewer calories or use up more in order to lose weight．“Many kinds” is not a guarantee of good nutrition．But in order to stay healthy，adults can get a balanced diet from the four main groups of food. They are protein, carbohydrate, fat, minerals and vitamins．Proteins are very important for building our bodies；they help us to build new cells as old ones die. Meat and dairy products are main sources of protein, but not the only ones —we can also get protein from fish，eggs and beans．Carbohydrate and fat are important to enable us to store energy—they provide fuel for the body．Carbohydrate is found in sugar，and in cereals such as rice, corn and wheat. Fat is found in vegetable oil，in butter, and in nuts．Our body also needs minerals, such as iron and calcium, and vitamins. Fish，vegetables and milk contain most of the minerals we need. Vitamins can often be found in flesh vegetables and fruit.Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating a hard-boiled egg or an orange as a snack can contribute to a well-balanced diet.It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better just like over-filling your gas tank won’t make your car run better.Proper weight alone doesn’t show whether a diet is lacking in vitamins and minerals. The scales make no difference between the similar numbers of calories of a can of soda and two eggs．重点词汇：starchy ['stɑ:tʃi] a. 淀粉的,guarantee [gærən'ti:] n. 担保,= make sure nutrition [nju:'triʃən] n. 营养,protein ['prəuti:n] n. 蛋白质carbohydrate ['kɑ:bəu'haidreit] n. 碳水化合物,醣energy ['enədʒi] n. 能,能源,能量; fuel ['fjuəl] n. 燃料,木炭butter ['bʌtə] n. 奶油,黄油nut [nʌt] n. 坚果;坚果仁mineral ['minərəl] n. 矿物,无机物,contribute [kən'tribju:t] vt. 有助于,捐助,extra ['ekstrə] a. 额外的,外加的lacking ['lækiŋ] a. 缺乏的,不足的function ['fʌŋkʃən] vi. 活动,运行, calory ['kæləri] n.卡（热量单位）vitamin ['vitəmin] n. 维他命，维生素1.Read the passage and match the main idea of each part.Part 1（Para1）Tips on the correct dieting habitsPart 2（Para2）Different kinds of food contain different nutrition.Part 3(Para3-5) The truth about losing weight and balanced diet.3.Read paragraphs 3-5 and find which sentence is closest in meaning to the following one.

It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy._______________________________⑵Proper weight alone doesn’t show whether a diet is lacking in vitamins and minerals.E. FOR（支持）BUILDING A MCDONALD’SI was excited when I heard that our community was to have its own McDonald's restaurant. I thought about all those young people who would not have to go to the next town to buy their favourite burgers and chips. McDonald's cares about healthy eating too and works with scientists to provide food that is of high quality, safe and healthy. It is also cheap. They often provide salads as well as burgers and chips. You can also choose between cola and milk shakes (奶昔). Of course it also means more work for our area that needs jobs badly. McDonald's says they are interested in doing what is fight for the community and being a good neighbour. So I think they will be concerned about providing parking for the cars in our main street. Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for the company. McDonald's makes a promise to the people who work for them. They say, "We value you, your growing skills and your help to the company." I can see nothing but good if this company comes to build its restaurant in our town.AGAINST （反对）BUILDINCI A MCDONALD’SI am very worried about McDonald's building a restaurant in our hometown. We are a small community and we enjoy our local dishes. I am not sure if McDonald's food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it carefully, they findhigh levels of fat, sugar and salt. This is very worrying. Too many young people are getting fat through eating too much fatty food. McDonald's is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be. Local Chinese food, on the other hand, is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a McDonald's restaurant is always the same, so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked, it must be less healthy than our own locally grown and cooked Chinese food.I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonald's. First, there will be petrol fumes (气体), which will make our clean air dirty. Second, there is the problem of all those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from moving quickly through our town.I am sure many young people will be happy to work for McDonald's but will they be treated fairly? In America, McDonald's does not allow workers' unions to operate in its restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy with them, why should they fear (担心，害怕)some workers joining a union?So when I consider the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we should not allow McDonald's to build their restaurant in our town.F.There is a saying: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper. This means that breakfast should be the largest meal of your day. In many countries, the biggest meal of the day is dinner. So why does this saying advise us to eat a large breakfast instead?The answer is in the world breakfast itself, which means the “breaking “ of a “fast”, or a long period without eating. The gap （= break）between dinner and breakfast can be up to twelve hours, so the meal that breaks your fast should be healthy and wholesome（= healthy）. Also, unlike your evening meal, the food you consume（=eat）for breakfast will give you energy to use while your are active during the day. There is evidence that eating a big breakfast, particularly one containing whole grains and fruit, can improve your concentration and mood （=feeling）.Although health experts stress(强调) the importance of eating a good breakfast and having one’s main meal earlier in the day, not many people are changing their daily eating habits. In the U.S., for example, about two-thirds of the population still have its main meal in the evening. Many of the most popular types of American food, such as steak and potatoes, are full of fat and carbohydrates, which make them slow to digest.In Mexico, the most important meal for many families is usually eaten at 2:00 p.m. The meal normally includes an appetizer, soup, pasta, fish, meat with a salad, dessert, and finally tea or coffee. In Switzerland, the main meal is also eaten in the middle of the day, and usually contains a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits.Many nutritionists suggest that people eat small, low-fat meals five or six times a day. Most agree, however, that good nutrition and what you eat is more important than when you eat it. Keeping to a balanced diet of nutritious, low-calory foods like vegetables, whole grains, fish, and fresh fruit is the best way to enjoy a healthy life.1.Skim the text and judge whether following statements are true (T) or false (F) .1) According to the author, the biggest meal of the day should be the breakfast.2) The word “breakfast” means “breaking” of a long period without eating.3) According to the text, breakfast will give you energy to use during the day.4) A small number of people are following the experts’ advice and changing their eating habits.5) Many of the most popular types of American food are full of fat and carbohydrates6) In Mexico, the most important meal normally includes seven parts.7) According to the text, the best way to enjoy a healthy life is keeping to a balanced diet of nutritious, low-calorie foods.2.Read the text carefully and choose the best.⑴If you find it is hard to concentrate on your study during the day, which of the following is the best choice for your breakfast?A.
