A three-year independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation conclusively (and unfortunately), establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."

A CNN Reporter at the scene states that there is no evidence that a 757 hit the Pentagon.

　 What hit the Pentagon? A Boeing 757 loaded with passengers and fuel right? Who was on Flight 757? According to the Flight Information there were No Arabs on it. That makes me wonder if Flight 757 actually existed at all.

　　From the pictures and the videos, people can find that there are several doubtful points that need to be taken into consideration, for example the marker line on the grass in the satellite and ground pictures, the different colors of the smoke, the hole which the plane impacted, and the standing pylons (架线塔).

　　Also, from the comparison of the different pictures, people can find some other strange points. For example, the gear (齿轮) is not the matching one. The wreckage of the plane is not the one from the American Airlines. The glass on the pavement of the pole is another doubtful point. The last thing that need considering is about the collapse. One of the gif video shows the plane impacting the Pentagon. The only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered (改变) and can not be fully trusted.

　　These crash photos and videos shown here clearly have been doctored (篡改) and don't even match the physics of what happened. So where is the real video? It leaves me many questions. Is this a missile? It is a real enigma.

Whether you have a toddler(学步儿童)or a teen, here are five of the best strategies to improve nutrition and encourage smart eating habits;

1. Have regular family meals.

2. Serve a variety of healthy foods and snacks.

3. Be a role model by eating healthily yourself.

4. Avoid battles over food.

5. Involve kids in the process.

But it’s not easy when everyone is juggling busy schedules and convenience food, such as fast food which is so readily available.

Here are some ways to incorporate all five strategies into your routine/schedules.

Family meals are a ritual(日常惯例)for both parents and kids. Children like to know family meals in advance and parents get a chance to catch up with their kids. Kids who take part in regular family meals are also:

more likely to eat fruits, vegetables and grains

less likely to snack on unhealthy foods

less likely to smoke or drink alcohol

In addition, family meals offer the chance to introduce kids to new foods and to act as a role model for healthy eating.

Teens may turn up their noses at the prospect(期望)of a family meal—not surprising because they’re busy and want to be more independent. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use mealtime as a chance to reconnect.Also, consider trying these strategies:

Allow your teen to invite a friend to dinner.

Involve your teen in meal planning and preparation.

Keep mealtime calm—no lectures or arguing.

What counts as a family meal? Any time you and your family eat together—whether it’s takeout food or a home-cooked meal, strive for nutritious food and a time when everyone can be there. This may mean eating dinner a little later to accommodate a child who’s at sports practice. It can also mean setting aside time on the weekends, such as Sunday brunch, when it may be more convenient to gather as a group.

1. The following are the reasons that prevent children from having family meals well EXCEPT that_______.

A. they are independent from their parents’ advice

B. they are busy dealing with their lessons

C. there are convenience foods so readily available

D. family meals are not as good as convenience foods.

2. Which of the following is NOT the best strategy to encourage smart eating habits?

A. Let children have meals independently.

B. Don’t scold children during the meals.

C. Set a good example to children.

D. Don’t skip any one of the three meals.

3. The underlined phrase “turn up their noses at” is nearest in meaning to “_______”.

A. look forward to B. keep up with C. look down upon D. be addicted to

4. In the author’s opinion, the most important thing is______.

A. strictly obeying the strategies all the time

B. involving kids in the process of meals.

C. never allowing children to have snacks.

D. letting children prepare their meals.

It is natural for young people to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained (抱怨), more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they always want to control them; that they do not trust them to deal with problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, and music. Actually this is not what they really intend to do.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or clothes or hairstyles make their parent angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better,at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.

Sometimes you do not obey orders,and are proud because you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. If they do, it looks as if you are unfaithful to your own age group. But in that case, you will probably think that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parent’s control. If you plan to control your life,co-operation can be part of that plan. You can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. Get them to feel your sense of responsibility (责任) and initiative (进取心) so that they will allow you to do what you want to do.

1. The first paragraph is mainly about ______.

A.children’s complaints about their parents

B.misunderstandings between children and their parents

C.the control of the parents over their children

D.children’s ability to deal with problems

2. The underlined word “irritate” in this passage is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. to make someone excited B. to make someone angry

C. to please someone D. to comfort someone

3. Children choose to have certain strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.

A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own

B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste

C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better

D. want to make their parents angry

4. Children do not want their parents to say yes to whatever they do because they ______.

A. have already been accepted into the adult world

B. feel that they are better in a small way than the adults

C. are not likely to win over the adults

D. have a desire to be independent
