What if your parents are too busy to cook dinner, so they give you a bag of candy…?

That’s exactly what some parents did in the 1920s in America. Back then, stores sold more kinds of candy than they do now. Most people thought it was as good for them as a healthy dinner. Many scientists also thought candy was good for people’s health.

Now, of course, we know that sugar isn’t good for us. But could it really be that bad if it tastes so delicious? Sadly, yes.

“Everyone loves sugar,” says Dr. Robert Lusting, a sugar expert. “But sugar has a dark side.” Take breakfast, for example. Sugary cereal (谷类植物) gives you energy, but only for a short time. Then you start to feel sleepy. Foods like oatmcal (麦片) and fruit give your body energy for hours. And eating a lot of sugar can cause health problems, including serious illnesses. These days, more and more children are getting illnesses caused by eating too much sugar.

The good news is that changing your diet can help—and fast. Lusting recently did a study that helped overweight children eat less sugar. All of the children who cut out sugar had fewer health problems in just 10 days.

Knowing the risks of eating too much sugar can help you make healthy food choices. Does this mean you have to give up sugar completely? No. It just means you should make sure you are eating plenty of healthy foods, like fresh fruit and vegetables. Most of us can eat candy sometimes, but just make sure it’s not your dinner.

1.In the 1920s in America, candy ___________.

A.came in fewer kinds than today

B.was often eaten after dinner

C.cost a lot more than today

D.was regarded as healthy

2.What does the underlined word “diet” in paragraph 5 mean?

A.Energy. B.Food.

C.Nutrition. D.Vitamin.

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Kids Like Candy B.The Truth about Sugar

C.The Importance of Breakfast D.Dangers of Being Overweight

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

In my work there are a lot of business trips, and what I hate about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, it was a better choice for me to have room service.

However, after enjoying room service for days at a hotel in Houston, I needed to get out of my room. Though the restaurant opened at 7:00, I arrived at 6:30. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.

How delighted I was! He sat and chatted with me about his career dreams and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 20 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that he stopped in the kitchen for a moment before he went to the front desk.

Then one after another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. That night, three other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!　　 About one hour later when I asked for my bill, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose.
