How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else ).Registered dietitian Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient-dense foods,”she suggests,“foods that contain a multiple of nutrients.  For example,select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food,rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink,which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient-dense ones are so superior,”she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life,it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only almost impossible to keep up the strength,they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in enough amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey,trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses,or make you superwoman is a fruitless search.“ As women,many of us are too concerned with staying thin,”she says,and “we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.”
“We need carbohydrates,protein and fat-they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match,the spark,for the fuel,”she explains.“ We need them all,but in a very different proportions(部分). And if the fuel isn't there,the spark is useless.”

    2. B.
      a search for a diet without fruits
    3. C.
      a research on fruitless diet

    4. D.

    1. A.
      carbohydrates,protein and fat are enough to support a human life
    2. B.
      vitamins and minerals are almost of no value

任務型讀寫(共10小題;每小題1分,滿分10分) 注意:一空一詞。

       Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room.But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out.

       Here is some important advice.The first is to eat less fast food.The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat.Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight.

       Too much fast food can drag your body down.French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide(丙烯酰胺) than other food.This may cause cancer.Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide.So don’t eat it too often.

       Soda is another thing you should watch out for.Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible.

       Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices.Human bodies need variety.You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物).In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.

       Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal.It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time.Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.

Good nutrition and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily. No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits. Here are some suggestions.
Family Meals
Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children and to find out which foods they like and which ones they don’t.
Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so they use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.
Stocking Up on Healthy Foods
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines—the foods which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.
Being a Good Example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.
No Conflicts over Foods
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat.
Get Kids Included
Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help prepare them to make good decisions on their own about the foods they want to eat.
1. Family meals provide the chances for parents to do the following things EXCEPT        .
A. guessing what kids are going to have                            B. finding what kids like and dislike  
C. introducing new foods to kids                               D. reconnecting with kids
2. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means         .
A. teenagers may be interested in your plan of a family meal
B. teenagers may help you to make a plan of a family meal
C. teenagers may show no interest in your plan of a family meal
D. teenagers may refuse to help you to make a plan of a family meal
3. According to the article, which should NOT be done by parents?
A. Forming a healthful eating habit themselves.         B. Forcing kids to have vegetables.
C. Stocking up on some fruits at home.                     D. Making meal plans with kids.
4. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How to eat healthily.                                    B. How to grow up healthily.
C. Help kids form healthful eating habits.           D. Help kids know what a healthful meal is.

III.閱讀理解(共15小題計30分)

We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago, most of the people in Europe did not know anything about tea, because it was grown in Asia. There is a story about an English sailor(水手). Once he went to India and China. When he came home, he brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a tea party.  When her friends came to the tea party, the old woman brought out some leaves and asked them to eat tea. Of course, nobody liked the tea leaves.

Just then the sailor came in.  He looked at the tea leaves on the table and asked his mother,“What have you done with the tea?”

“I boiled it as you said.”

“I threw it away, of course.” answered the woman.

“Now, you may throw away the leaves, too.” said her son.

56. Who first grew tea?

A. People in Europe.                                        B. People in Asia.

C.People in China only.                                D. People in India only.

57. The woman’s friends ________.

A. enjoyed the tea leaves very much                   B. didn’t like drinking tea

C. didn’t like the tea leaves                           D. threw away all the tea leaves

58. Before the old woman boiled the tea, ________.

A. she had learned how to enjoy it

B. her son had taught her how to drink tea

C. her son had not told her to drink the boiled water only

D. her son had not told how to eat the tea leaves
