If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are fat, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil,salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food "junk food".

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers have bad eating habits. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.

Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice: Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.

Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.

Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and have little fat.

Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their body and mind.

Tea to the Chinese is like coffee to the Americans. It's something that they can't live without.

Chinese tea has a history of more than 5,000 years. It was most popular during the Tang Dynasty(唐朝). China has many kinds of tea. White, yellow, green, oolong(乌龙茶), black and dark tea are the six main kinds.

People in different places drink tea in their own way. People in Guangdong and Fujian love to drink “Kung Fu Tea” in small tea cups. First they use boiling water(沸水)to clean the teapot(茶壶) and warm it up. Then they put tea leaves(茶叶)in the teapot before they put in the boiling water. In Beijing, people love jasmine flower(茉莉花) green tea. In Tibet, butter tea(酥油茶)is a popular drink to give people energy.

When we serve(沏)tea to others, we must make the cup only seven-tenths(十分之七)full. If the cup is too full, it makes the cup too hot for them to hold.
