It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

Japan High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables.

Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩飯 ) at the end of the month receives a prize.

The United States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量 ) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium (鈣) and calories.

Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.

Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sushi (壽司),sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.

In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.

South Africa Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.

Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

A strong vocabulary helps develop understanding, communication and reading ability. 1. Consider the following tips on helping your child develop an impressive vocabulary.

Let Your Child Tell the Story

Perhaps you read nightly to your child or take turns doing so. Of course, this is an excellent way to expand reading and vocabulary skills. 2. Then, let your child charge the end of the rope of his imagination wherever his imagination leads.

3.

In short, you need to take an active role. If you want your children’s language skills to improve, take their vocabulary questions seriously. When they express curiosity about a word, be sure to teach the correct definition and pronunciation.

Correct Mistakes with Care

4. However, it’s essential not to scold them when they make such mistakes. Rather, point out what they got right, and then review the proper way to use and or speak the word. The more fun and positive an experience, the more interested and able your children will be in expanding their vocabulary.

Do Be Patient

You may need to repeat words and meanings many times before your child fully grasps the concept. This is completely normal. 5. Children develop at their own paces. The most important thing is to honor and balance their needs so that learning doesn’t become struggle. While you want them to get ahead, you don’t want them to develop pressure with trying to do so.

A. Try Your Best to Correct Them.

B. Pay More Attention to Your Kid’s Vocabulary.

C. It’s natural for children to mispronounce or misuse new words.

D. It’s important for children to mispronounce new words while learning.

E. That’s why parents should do what they can to help kids learn new words.

F. Further, if your neighbor’s child has twice the vocabulary yours does, it’s not worth stressing over.

G. However, on occasion, feel free to put the book down and ask your child to create a story to tell you.

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（帶寬；頻寬）. We desperately need to navigate（駕駛）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（擁塞）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.

1.Young people will hate themselves when ________.

A. they avoid doing things they dislike

B. their stress level is high

C. they know what they dislike doing

D. their actions conflict with their ideas

2.What is the writer’s viewpoint on complicated things?

A. They cause little stress to young people’s lives.

B. Young people can’t focus on their business without them.

C. They have a great influence on young people’s lives.

D. Young people needn’t do what they want to do.

3.The writer thinks reading blogs ________.

A. is not a waste of time

B. prevents us from getting stories we need

C. is a great way to access useful information

D. does not fill our brain in a messy way
