3.Long ago,poems were recited out loud instead of being written down.Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics,they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.
    Now,poetry competitions have been revived.This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest,performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes.
    The first competitions were held in classrooms.The winners went on to schoolwide contests,and then they competed in city and state competitions,and then the 50 state champions,along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington,D.C.,last week for the last showdown(对决).After the 51 champions competed against one another,12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five had one last chance to"perform"a poem.The overall champ,Jackson Hille,a high school senior from Ohio,won a $20,000 scholarship.
    The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on the page.
    It's not just a matter of saying the words in the right order.It's the tone of voice,the pauses,the gestures,and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life."Each time we hear somebody recite a poem,we  understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,"says National Public Radio broadcaster Scott Simon,master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.
    Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience,memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them for life.

A.the Greeks were the first to write poems

18.Eating snacks can be a good way to stop your hunger and get the vitamins your body needs.But as teenagers you need to pay attention to what you eat.Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smartly.Be careful of the health claims on food packages.Words on the package like"all natural"or"pure"don't always mean the food is good for you.Be careful of low-fat food claims,too.If the fat has been cut back,the amount of sugar in the food may have been increased to keep the food tasting good.Many low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions.Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine.
★Keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home,so you can take them with you when you go out.
★Satisfy your cravings with healthier foods.If you are crazy about chocolate,try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar.If you want something salty,eat whole grain biscuits instead of potato chips.Besides,it is wise for you to replace ice-cream with yogurt.
★Pay attention to the amount you eat.As with everything,moderation(适度)is the key to smart snacking.
