While sweet treats can be hard to resist, the World Health Organization(WHO) has set new guidelines for people around the world. The guidelines, released on Wednesday, advise that both adults and children cut back on their sugar intake(攝取量) to stay healthy.

In a statement, Francesco Branca, director of the WHO’s nutrition department, said there is evidence that reducing daily sugar intake reduces the risk of being overweight and tooth decay(腐爛).

The guidelines do not apply to the sugars in fresh fruit and vegetables or those that are naturally present in milk. According to the WHO, there is no reported evidence of negative effects of consuming those sugars. Instead, the new guidelines focus on “added” or “free” sugars. These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as candy and soft drinks.

Added sugars are sometimes described as “ hidden” sugars because they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets, such as honey and ketchup(番茄醬). Health experts advise that consumers look at ingredients on food packages to help make better-informed decisions.

The WHO recommends that people in the United States, Europe and other Western societies should cut their average sugar intake by about two-thirds, or down to just 10% of their overall calories. For developing countries, where dental care is less advanced, the WHO recommends that sugar intake be reduced to 5%.

Scientist Kieran Clarke, of the University of Oxford, notes that for those people who can’t shake their love for sweets, getting more exercise is a good solution. “If you get enough exercise, you can eat almost anything,” she said “But it’s very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless all you’re eating is fruit and vegetables.”

1.What can we learn from the guidelines released by the World Health Organization?

A. The production of candies should be forbidden.

B. There is a connection between sugar intake and bad teeth.

C. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of sugar.

D. People should cut down on sugar intake for the sake of their health.

2.To what level should people in developing countries cut down their sugar intake, according to the WHO?

A. 10%.B. 15%.C. 5%.D. 30%.

3.We can learn from the text that ________.

A. added sugar isn’t marked on food packages

B. we should drink as little milk as possible as it contains sugar

C. soft drinks don’t contain added sugar

D. the less exercise you do, the fewer sweet things you should eat

People often say that a good child should be honest, while for me, I always lie to other and do not realize the results of what I say. Yesterday, I learned a lesson about tell lies. Early in the morning, I did not want to go to school, so that I told my father that I had caught the cold. I pretended to feel terribly. My father looks worried and he went out quickly. I thought he went to work, but after a while, he came back with any medicine. He said that he had asked leave that day and that he would look after me at home. He felt very regretful about telling that lie. Finally, I told him the true and promised not to tell lies again.

Kindness and kids just seem to go hand in hand. But 62% of more than 2,600 participants in the NBC News State of Kindness Poll believe that today’s kids are less kind than those in the past. Women(66%) feel about this kindness fall more strongly than men(58%). Most of the participants who feel that way(77%) thank parents caused the seeming lack of kindness among today’s children, with a few thinking that society, schools, or friends caused it.

At the same time, Americans say they don’t put kindness first when it comes to teaching kids values. Among all participants, honesty is taught more than kindness as well as other things like courage, leadership and storing work ethic(道德). But the younger generation—those aged 18-24—think highly of kindness rules. They choose kindness by 10% over honesty as the most important quality to teach kids.

The question of whether kindness is learned or taught—or somewhere in between —causes different opinions. According to the study, Americans have different opinions on whether kindness in something one is born with or needs to be learned and nurtured over time. Slightly more than half(52%) of the participants believe that all of us are born with the ability to show kindness, while 48% believe kindness must be developed.

Parenthood(父母身份) makes a difference to your thoughts on the causes of kindness. Those without kids(56%) are more likely to think that people are born to be kind, while 50% of the participants with kids think kindness is developed.

Also, 51% of dads and 54% of men with no kids believe kindness is something time is born with. Slightly more than half of the moms say kindness must be learned, while 48% believe it is what one is born with.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(縫被子). I silently sat beside her. "Mum, is there love between you and Dad?" I asked in a very low voice.

With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(線). It can hardly be seen, but it' s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside. "

I couldn' t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.

After two months my father still couldn' t walk by himself. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

"Susan, don' t worry about me," he said. "I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
