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

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

Three quarters of Britain’s parents are too busy to read bedtime stories to their children，according to a study. The study was carried out by CITV to start their new children’s show Bookaboo，which is designed to encourage anyone to pick up a book and read with their children at any time of the day.

Worryingly，the study showed that only three percent of fathers now find the time to read to the kids compared to 89 percent of mothers. Lucy Goodman，creator of Bookaboo，said，“It’s important for young boys to be able to share a book with dads，granddads or male carers and it can be fun and rewarding，too.” Of the dads who said they didn’t read to their kids,87 percent blamed work while more than a third said they were too tired. While 89 percent of mums said they did read to their children，more than half of them said cleaning distracted (使分心) them and 49 percent were distracted by other household things.

Researchers also found parents are now relying heavily on other people to lend a hand with reading to their children with grandparents doing the most，followed by sisters and brothers，aunts and uncles. While 95 percent of parents read to their children at some point，only five percent read to their children during the day. More than one in ten said they read every couple of weeks or less，and five percent could not remember the last time they shared a book.

The study found parents also seem content with allowing their children to immerse (使沉浸) themselves in TV programs or playing computer games rather than reading.

Ex­goalkeeper David Seaman，who is a dad of two，has been a guest in Bookaboo.He says，“I think it’s important that fathers do read to their children because it’s a special time. Sometimes my two children will come to listen to the same book—it’s a magical moment and I advise fathers just to try it.”

1.We can know from the passage that Bookaboo________.

2.According to the study，fathers don’t read to their kids mainly because________.

3.Which group of people helped parents read to the kids the most?

4.According to the last paragraph，David Seaman________.
