The desire to sleep late can be almost too much to resist at weekends. This Saturday morning, though, there was something important enough to get me up early. Yawning widely, I got out of bed and put on some old jeans and a T-shirt. After combing the house for work gloves, my dad came up with a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.

We hopped(跳) in the car and headed into Boston. Guided by my directions, Dad was somehow-able to get us to our destination: a row of two-story houses. They were in the process of being built,mostly by volunteers like us.

After grabbing a huge leather tool belt, I met the people I would be working with. Virginia, James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me like a peer(同龄人). We got to work nailing the frames of walls. By lunch break I had hit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house, and pried(撬起) countless bent nails. The rest of the day went by quickly as I gained efficiency with my hammer. Soon it was time to pack up.

As l was leaving, a woman came into the house. She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms. Then I realized who the woman was-her family would be living in the house. As she walked through each room, I could see her planning where furniture would go.

Even though I had only been there one short day out of weeks of construction. I felt a great sense of accomplishment. When these houses finished, six families would have nice homes.

Thanks go to Habitat for Humanity for giving me such an opportunity to make a difference in others' lives. Habitat for Humanity is an international organization.

Some parents can’t resist the strong desire to help their children play hooky (逃学) for a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug. 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse (日食). Kate had told her teachers she’d be absent and Mr. Reed let Erica’s and Alex’s teachers know, too. But he didn’t ask for permission.

Mr. Reed has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries.”

Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them about science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed children’s teachers did. Other teachers were angry about the extra work.

Teacher Amanda says she feels frustrated when parents take students out of school for family trips. If she sends homework, she finds it’s often returned incomplete or incorrect, because the absent student didn’t hear her explanation in class. Some students suffer anxiety as they struggle to catch up. Research shows that students who are absent often, for any reason—excused or unexcused—performed more poorly in school.

Garrick agreed to miss five days of school for the Antarctic trip last year as a senior high school student, however. Managing the homework was a challenge, but it helped him gain time management skills. “And the trip is worth the effort,” he says, “sparking his interest in international relations. You can’t really put a price on changing your world view,” Garrick says. “That’s what travel has done for me. It has changed how I think about things.”

1.What’s the teachers’ attitude toward “playing hooky”?

A. They support it as it offers children hope about future discoveries.

B. It angers them because the homework is often returned incorrect.

C. They hold different kinds of views about playing hooky.

D. They are against it because too many students are absent.

2.According to the passage, why do the students have a poorer performance in school?

A. Because they are often absent for any reason.

B. Because they are not interested in study at all.

C. Because they travel with their parents too much.

D. Because they don’t do the homework regularly.

3.What benefit did Garrick get from his trip to Antarctica?

A. It made him lose time management skills.

B. It changed little of his world view.

C. It awoke his interest in international relations.

D. It made him more creative.

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(摄取量) 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(腐烂).

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(番茄酱). 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

How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else).Registered dietitian(营养专家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.

“Go for nutrient dense foods that contain a multiple of nutrients, ”she suggests, “For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee and cake.Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice------the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.

Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life; it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.

According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you a super woman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of　 magic cure to replace food.

“We need carbohydrates(碳水化合物) protein and fat---they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,”she explains, "We need them all, but in a very different proportion. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”

1.From the first paragraph we know that working women ______.

A. think cooking is especially complicated

B. are likely to eat healthfully

C. are busy and not interested in cooking

D. do not share the same views with registered dietitians

2.In Paragraph 4, the underlined phrase means　 ______.

A. a diet serving as medicine

B. a search for a diet without fruits

C. a research on a fruitless diet

D. an effort with no results

3.Many women take it for granted, according to the passage that ______.

A. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin

B. staying thin and healthy are both possible

C. a balanced diet can result in being fat

D. vitamins are some kind of substitutes for food

4.By the sentence"if the fuel isn't there,the spark is useless"in Paragraph 5, the author means ______.

A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are　 enough to support a human life

B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value

C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals

D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat,vitamins and minerals are of no use
