Although honey is a natural food with many health benefits, you should avoid giving it to your child until they are a year old. This is because there’s a small chance that it could contain a bacterium (细菌), which can result in infant botulism (婴儿型肉毒中毒): a serious form of food poisoning.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible for manufacturers to destroy the bacteria without cooking the honey, which makes the sweet matter unsuitable for babies under one. Although the British Honey Importers and Packers Association advises its members to print on honey labels that it’s not suitable for babies under 12 months, all products will not carry the warning. So it’s up to you to remember not to add honey to your baby’s food.

Although you may feel your baby’s food could do with a spoonful of honey for sweetness, it’s a good idea to avoid giving her too many sugary tastes. Offering too many sweet foods could mean that your baby develops a sweet tooth.

If, however, adding sweetness to certain foods will help. There are plenty of alternatives to honey. Try low-sugar jams on fingers of toast or in sandwiches. You can also sweeten the flavor of sharp or sour fruit such as rhubarb (大黄) by adding jams like apples or pears.

Once your baby is over a year old, it’s safe to introduce honey. By this time, a child’s intestines (肠) have grown enough to process the dangerous bacteria without allowing it to grow. However, because honey is a type of sugar, nutritionists still advise you should limit the amount to avoid problems as to tooth later on.

1.Why should we avoid giving honey to a baby?

A. Because too much honey will ruin the baby’s teeth.

B. Because a bacterium can cause food poisoning.

C. Because honey can make babies lack appetite.

D. Because honey will lead t0 infant depression.

2.From the second paragraph we can infer that 　　　　 .

A. honey manufacturers will remove the bacteria by cooking

B. every honey product will carry a label in the market

C. some products will carry a label while in the market

D. parents can accuse manufacturers of their products

3.The underlined sentence in the passage means that 　　　　 .

A. we have no choice except honey

B. we have many choices apart from honey

C. we can choose honey and other things

D. we can’t choose honey or other things

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Why Is Honey Dangerous for Your Baby?

B. When Can You Feed Your Baby with Honey?

C. How Does Honey Benefit Your Baby?

D. What Can You Do with Honey for Your Baby?

How to avoid common life mistakes?

1. Don’t do things you don’t like

Whenever you do things you don’t like, you will start to hate yourself a bit more. You will hate yourself for not being consistent. For doing things you know that you don’t want to do, another stress is right there.

2. Do less

This is one of the hardest things, especially for me. I’m doing too many things at the same time. In itself, doing many different things to figure out what works and what doesn’t isn’t that had. It’s actually quite good. But at some point you need to let go of the things that don’t work and focus on the things that work. And that’s the hardest part, at least for me. I always try to make everything work. And if you always try to make everything work, you’ll usually end up with nothing working at all.

3. Get rid of complicated things

There are many complicated things in life. Complicated relationships, complicated jobs, complicated whatever. What all of these things do is that they steal our focus.

They add an additional stress layer to our lives and take over some of our brain’s bandwidth（带宽；频宽）. We desperately need to navigate（驾驶）bandwidth in this crazy and complex world.

4. Read books, not blogs

Blogs consist of too much information for our brains to process. Blogs usually leave out the story our brains need. Our brains need a story to remember things.

Don’t believe me? Try it. What parts of this blog post do you remember? Probably none. All that blogs do is that they clutter（拥塞）our brains with useless information we forget immediately after we read them. A waste of time.

There are a number of personal traits which all of us should develop in our earlier life.

How to Avoid the Worst Cold-Weather Packing Mistakes

Not bringing medicine

Cold and flu cases rise during the winter, and while you definitely don't plan on getting sick while traveling, you should be prepared in case it does happen. Make sure you've packed medication for upset stomach, fever relief, body aches, and congestion, 5.. Just get travel-sized versions of you go-to drugs.

A. But we're here to help

B. Choosing the right shoes

C. Wearing the wrong shoes

D. Cotton is a terrible choice for the winter

E. Better be a pair which is easy to pack and hard to break
