"Father, don't like to go to school," said Harry Williams one morning. "I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker's father doesn't make him go to school."

Mr Williams 1       his little boy by the hand,and said 2       to him, "Come,my son. I want to show you 3       in the garden."

  Harry walked into the garden with his 4       ,who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be 5       about their roots.

"See how beautifully these peas are 6       , my son," said Mr. Williams. "How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good 7       Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker's garden.”

Mr. Williams then 8       Harry to look at Mr. Parker's pea vines.

After a few moments,Mr. Williams asked, " Well,my son,what do you 9       Mr. Parker's pea vines?"

"Oh, Father!" replied the little boy. "I never saw such 10       looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as 11       as the peas themselves. There won't be half a crop!" " 12       are they so much worse than ours,Harry?"

"Because they have been left to grow as they 13       I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them,and never took any care of them 14       ."

"Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds 15       it is not taken good care of," Mr. Williams 16         ,"and so it is with the human garden. Children's minds are like garden beds. They must be 17       cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your 18       may have good seeds(种子) and 19 plentifully. Now which would you 20      ,to stay at home or go to school?"

"I would rather go to school," said Harry.

   Your body,which has close relations with the food you eat,is the most important thing you own,so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养)  .The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away. ” is not so sil?ly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin   C.

   Many people take extra (额外的) vitamins in pill form (丸剂) ,believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vi?tamins,so why waste money on them?

When I was at school,our teacher often said,“You are what you eat. ” She wanted us to eat the right food to be healthy.

Japanese people are said to be the healthiest in the world. They eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when they’re thirsty,and snack on dried fish,fruit or nuts. So we can believe that you become what you eat. When you know the advantages of different kinds of food,you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.

Have you ever heard any of the following advice?

* Lettuce or milk can make you sleepy while peanuts or dried fish will stop that feeling.

* To keep your teeth clean,you should eat apples often.

* Garlic(大蒜) helps to prevent colds.

Future restaurants might be named after what they hope to create. Let’s take the restaurant “Winners” as an example. Its menu would list dishes specifically designed to help you win sports games. There would be rich tomato sauce (调味汁) full of vitamin C and soft vegetables. All this would have a little fresh cheese on the top—just enough to help you get a good night’s sleep.

What will happen to junk food in the future? If ice cream is not good for children,can’t we give them fat-free,sugar-free tofu ice cream? We are told dried fruit is a healthier snack than biscuits,so some biscuit companies are making biscuits with more vitamins. So in the future,you might be able to eat your way to health!
