“Children who eat three or more hamburgers a week are more likely to suffer from asthma (哮喘),” researchers say. However, they say that the risk may not be caused by the meat-rich diet itself, but by a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The study looked into 50,000 children from 20 countries. Parents were asked about their children’s eating habits and whether they had ever suffered from asthma. The effects of their diet seemed to be different depending on where they lived. Fruit and vegetables are more helpful in less rich parts of the world, while eating lots of fish was more helpful in richer countries. Eating at least three hamburgers a week was linked to a greater risk of asthma, but only in wealthier countries.
Dr. Gabriele Nagel said different things may cause asthma in different parts of the world. “This gives us more understanding of how asthma affects different people, and its effects in developing as well as developed countries,” she said.
High levels of unhealthy fat in hamburgers could increase the risk of asthma. However, the researchers said children who ate several hamburgers a week might have other unhealthy lifestyle habits as well.
Researchers said the study helped us understand how asthma and diets are connected. “Previous (先前的) studies have shown that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help to reduce a child’s risk of developing asthma symptoms (症状),” Dr. Elaine Vickers said. “Our advice to parents is to make sure that children have a healthy diet and also get plenty of exercise.”
1.What can we know about asthma from paragraph 1?
A.The danger of it is common among children. B.Children who eat hamburgers suffer from it.

Cancelled school, daycare and sports activities means that children are eating all of their meals and snacks at home. 1., social distancing also brings new opportunities.
Studies have found that children who regularly eat family dinners consume more fruits and vegetables, and fewer unhealthy foods than children who don’t. They’re also less likely to be overweight, and more likely to say no to smoking and drugs.
Being stuck at home also provides an opportunity for parents to teach children cooking skills that they can carry into adulthood. 2., and teaches them nutrition and food safety. And, research suggest, doing so may help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. Besides, cooking and baking can be fun ways spend time while bonding with family.
3., however, healthy eating guidelines are the same for children and adults. Meals should be planned around healthy protein foods, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It can be challenging, though, to feed children three well-balanced, nutritious meals day after day during the corona-virus crisis.
When you’re too stressed or too tired to cook, it’s easy to sometimes fall back on children-friendly meals, such as frozen pizza, pasta and cheese, or chicken fingers. That’s perfectly okay; these aren’t normal times.
4.. For example, offer sliced fruit or raw vegetables with the meal or heat up frozen peas to serve with chicken fingers.
As much as possible, keep a routine(常规)around your children’s meal and snack times, which helps to discourage snacking throughout the day.5.
A.While this can add a new stress for parents
B.That’s why it’s helpful to have some extra time at home
C.Kitchen activities may require children’s patience as they learn
D.Children at different ages need different amounts of specific nutrients
E.Sticking to a schedule allows children to feel hungry for their next meal
F.Involving children in the kitchen helps them learn where food comes from
G.When that’s the case, plan easy ways to improve the nutritional quality of meals

There are five simple ways for your family to lead a healthy lifestyle and get back on track:
Get active each day
Regular physical activity is important for the healthy growth, development and well-being of children and young people.
They should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, including activities that strengthen muscles and bones on at least 3 days of the week. Parents should be good rule models and have a positive attitude to being active.
Choose water as a drink
Water is the best way to satisfy your thirst – and it doesn‘t come with the added sugar found in fruit juices, soft drinks and other sweetened drinks. Reduced fat milk for children over two years of age is a nice drink. Give kids whole fruit to eat, rather than offering fruit juices that have a lot of sugar.
Eat more fruit and vegetables
Eating fruit and vegetables every day helps children and young people grow and develop, and can reduce the risk of many diseases. Eat two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables every day. This varies for boys and girls at different ages.
Switch off the screen and get active
Children and young people should spend no more than two hours a day on small screen‘ entertainment. Break up long periods of use as often as possible. Plan some active indoor and outdoor games or activities for your children.
Eat fewer snacks and select healthier choices
Healthy snacks help children and young people meet their daily nutritional needs.
Snacks based on fruit and vegetables, reduced fat dairy products and whole grains are the healthiest choices. Avoid snacks that are high in sugar or fat –such as chips, cakes and chocolate – which can cause children to put on extra weight.
1.What should parents do to help their children to be active every day?
A.Set good examples themselves. B.Let children know the importance.
C.Give children enough time outdoors. D.Stop children from using the computer.
2.Which comes last when served to children?
A.Boiled water. B.Whole fruit.
C.Soft drinks. D.Reduced fat milk.
3.How many serves of fruit should children have each day?
A.One. B.Two.
C.Three. D.Four.
4.Who is the text mainly intended for?
A.Children. B.Leaders.
C.Teachers. D.Parents.

Cold Truths
Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”? We put this to the test by asking three people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles.1.Maybe you can recognize your own fridge here!
“You might find bean products in our fridge, but hamburgers? Never!”—Amy, Teacher
2. This means we don't eat meat, and any milk or cheese had better be dairy-free. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. If we have children, I want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be able to make their own lifestyle choices.
“3.”—Mike, Chef
With five children, we're one big family! My wife and I both work full-time, so life can get pretty busy! Like a lot of chefs I know, I don't really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables...4.
“There isn't really much in my fridge. I'm too busy and tired to cook at home!”—Ted, Doctor
There's not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don't cook very often. My fridge is usually half empty and I'm often too tired to eat much anyway.5.. As a doctor, I know I had better change the way I eat, but I just don't have the time or the energy right now.

In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的)education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance .of continuing their studies at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor’s degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD
Most university courses don’t train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career（职业）, such as clothing design, or business studies.
1.The passage mainly tells us_______.
A.Something about the private schools in developed countries
B.How developed countries pay attention to education
C.Some general information about education in developed countries
D.Why education is important
2.Why do most developed countries provide free education to children?
A.Because the children don’t have money to go to school.
B.Because the government want their citizens to be useful to the country.
C.Because education doesn’t cost the country too much money.
D.Because there are not enough private schools.
3.In the first paragraph the underlined word “citizen” refer to________.
A.the cities B.members of a country

Here are some tips from the experts to help you drop pounds gradually and safely.
Eat smaller portions
The trick is to eat more throughout the day.
“Sitting down to three rounded meals has its place. But you should have healthy snacks throughout the day,” Uehlein says. 1.To control portion (份) sizes, use your hand as a guide. “Never eat anything bigger than your hand,” says the chef.
Eat more healthful foods
Fruits, vegetables and wholegrains are low in calories and fat, yet filling.2.
Cut back on the amount of oil you use in dressings or sauces. For example, replace half of the oil with orange juice in a sauce.
But don’t assume fat-free processed (加工过的) foods are a good choice.
“A lot of times, fat-free products are very high in salt and tend to be low in dietary fiber (膳食纤维), so you’re not full.3.,” Uehlein says.
Be mindful
It’s not easy to keep on a diet. You are likely to eat too much, especially when you’re upset, attracted by television or you’ve skipped a meal.4., says Catherine Champagne, Ph.D. and registered dietitian.
“Becoming aware is so important,” Champagne says. Her patients often fear to keep a record. “They don’t want to think beyond eating, thus putting on weight easily.5.,” she says.
Avoid situations in which you can’t eat as healthfully as you want. Uehlein, who spent years as a restaurant chef, recommends eating at home more often.
A.You’ll be hungry sooner
B.So you’re satisfied with less
C.But you have to learn to control
D.So keeping a food diary is helpful
E.Exercises are good for your weight-loss
F.Staying away from snacks is good for our health
G.He suggests a banana mid-morning and a few nuts in the afternoon

Readers who long imagined themselves in Harry Potter’s world have a chance to absorb themselves in another fictional universe created by J.K. Rowling. The author said that she would release (发布) The Ickabog, a new story for young readers, for free online.
The first chapter of the fairy tale about a monster known as the Ickabog was published on May 26, and further chapters will be released every week until July 10. It is targeted to readers aged 7 to 9 and will be published as a book in November. The story concerns rumors (谣言) of a fierce child-eating monster with extraordinary powers which lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia.
Rowling said she had started working on the book more than a decade ago, while she was still writing Harry Potter, and originally intended to publish it after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last of her seven-book Potter series. But she ended up keeping The Ickabog, which isn’t related to Harry Potter or any of Rowling’s other work, in her family, reading it to her young children and then putting it away until recently. “I’ve decided to publish The Ickabog for free online, so children on lockdown, or even those back at school during these strange, unsettling times, can read it or have it read to them,” Rowling said. Rowling said she would donate her royalties (版税) for the book to causes related to the coronavirus (冠状病毒) diseases.
Readers will have a chance to participate in the process. Rowling’s publishers around the world will hold an illustration (插图) competition, encouraging children to submit (提交) drawings to accompany the story. The best submissions will end up in the book’s final edition when it is published in the fall.
Rowling’s children, now teenagers, are “touchingly ecstatic” about the publication of their childhood bedtime story, Rowling wrote on her site. She started reading chapters to them again recently, which she said was “one of the most extraordinary experiences of my writing life. ”
1.It will take at least ______ for readers to finish reading The Ickabog online.

C.It is a continuation of the Potter series. D.It was completed a long time ago.
3.Why does J. K. Rowling release the book free online?
A.To collect money for coronavirus research.
B.To involve readers in the illustration competition.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability, money, and time. 1.Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2.
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 4.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5.And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A.Try new things.
B.Ability is easily improved.
C.Make three or four instead.
D.Understand your food better.
E.Cooking is a burden for many people.
F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

The effect of having no friends
A study has found that people who are lonely have more physical and mental health problems than those who feel connected with others. It affects your health in four ways.
You are more likely to be depressed (抑郁的).
1. Researchers have shown that when you’re lonely, brain hormones associated with stress such as cortisol (皮质醇) become active, which can cause depression. The previous research has found that the more positive social interactions (交流) people with depression have, the more improvement in symptoms they experience.
2.
Research has shown you’ll eat less healthily if you frequently dine alone. Researchers have pointed out that if you are cooking for other people, you are more likely to prepare a healthier meal that contains a range of foods—meat, starch (淀粉) and vegetables. 3. People who are lonely are also more likely to be physically inactive.
You are more likely to suffer from heart disease.
Research has repeatedly shown lonely people have a higher risk of heart disease, and it’s for many reasons. Since they don’t have social support, they’re more likely to be affected by stress. 4. If they’re lonely, they’re less likely to be physically active or eat properly. If they don’t feel well, they’re much less likely to go to see a doctor.
5.
Research has found that loneliness can affect the immune (免疫的) system. People who are lonely produce more inflammation (发炎)—related proteins in response to stress than folks who feel more socially connected. Inflammation is linked to numerous health conditions including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
A.You are likely to eat more food.
B.You had better get on well with others.
C.You are less likely to take care of yourself.
D.You could have a weaker system to fight off disease.
E.This increases the possibility of getting heart disease.
F.Otherwise, you’re just throwing something together for yourself.
G.The more lonely you feel, the more likely you are to be depressed.
