Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake of fibre, iron and calcium(钙)is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers’ minds to new tastes, the famous chef, Jamie Oliver started a“Feed Me Better”campaign. He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. Although some teenagers and parents resisted it, the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food, but, hopefully, if projects like“Feed Me Better”continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.2(2013·合肥模拟)阅读下面短文, 根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

Have you ever wondered why there are so many skin colors in the world? Do you know why people living in particular areas usually have a certain color? Biology and history are the two reasons for this.Skin contains something called melanin, which determines a person’s skin color. The more melanin a person has, the darker his or her skin will be. The amount of and the production of melanin are controlled by genetics, but can be affected by other things, such as sunlight. If a person lives in a place with less sunlight, a person’s body will produce less melanin, making the skin lighter.Skin color is also affected by another source—vitamin D. Humans all need vitamin D to build bones. People can get it by eating foods such as fish and milk, or from sunlight, so sunlight absorbed by melanin cannot be used for vitamin D production. Therefore, a dark-skinned person will produce less vitamin D than a light-skinned person when they received the same amount of sunlight.The connection between vitamin D production and skin color is clear when we look at evolution. The earliest humans lived in Africa, their dark skin produced less vitamin D because of their dark skin. As a result, their skin made less melanin, so they could get enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. Their skin gradually got lighter and they lost hair. Now, people living in areas withstrong sunlight like Africa, have darker skin, while people living in other areas have lighter skin. The exception to this is the Inuit, who live in a place with little sunlight, but have dark skin because they eat a lot of fish and have enough vitamin D.Evolution has given us a rainbow of skin colors. Humans have always had melanin to determine our skin color. What has changed through history is the environment where we have lived. This has in turn changed our melanin production, and eventually, skin color.3(2013·池州模拟)阅读下面短文, 根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

Researchers from the University of Michigan reported that sympathy, the ability to understand other people’s feelings and proble ms among college students had dropped sharply over the past10 years. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time. Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.But there is another exp lanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but sympathetic.There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having sympathy is vital for those relationships. Researchers have also found that sympathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, sympathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Sympathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, many top companies report that sympathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. Good social skills—including sympathy—are a kind of “emotional(情感的)intelligence”that will help you succeed in many areas of life.What’s the best way to develop sympathy? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. One doesn’t develop sympathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking. In addition, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, be a member of a club or a team, have a“sharing circle”with your family, or s pend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.答案解析11.
