7．Have you considered having a meat-free night one day each week?One day out of each week isn't much——青夏教育精英家教网—

7．Have you considered having a meat-free night one day each week？One day out of each week isn't much．This little change is so simple that anyone can do it，and so important that everyone can make a difference．
According to the climate experts，livestock （牲畜） are responsible for 18% of the world's greenhouse emissions （排放物）．If everyone in the USA had ONE meat-free night each week，it would mean the energy of 12billion fewer gallons of gasoline each year．That's a lot saved!
Without all the land cleared for farming animal food，and without all the fuel spent on transporting animals and meat around，you already know that cutting out a little meat is good for the planet．
What about you and your family？How can a meat-free night improve your health？
Plant based foods are naturally low fat，low cholesterol （胆固醇），high in vitamins，rich in minerals and full of healthy fiber．Fiber not only helps your to feel full faster，but aids in healthy digestion as well．Many useful minerals such as iron，calcium and zinc are also found in abundance in certain leaves，seeds and nuts．Studies have repeatedly shown that a high-vegetable but low-meat is very beneficial．Notice it didn't mention cutting out all meat，just lowering it!Eating some meat is still good for you．
Now that you know the benefits of adding a meatless night to your schedule，what steps can you take to actually enjoy it？
There are plenty of recipes where you won't"miss the meat"that don't require tofu or other meat-substitutes．If you are worried about not feeling full or not getting enough complete protein from the meal，why not add beans to it．Beans have complete protein just like meat，but they have no flavor of their own．You can add them to almost anything without changing the taste，and you can't hate them because there is no flavor to dislike．
It's up to you to have the fun of discovering great meat-free recipes．Recipes of all types are so easy to find with a simple search，and you never know what you might discover．Maybe you'll even find your family's new favorite meal!

6．Archaeologists searching for a lost city in the forests of Honduras have discovered the urban remains of what they believe is a vanished （消失的） ancient civilization．A writer and photographer for a magazine accompanied a team of scientist to Honduras'Mosquitia region reporting a legendary"White City"or"City of the Monkey God．"
The expedition was made after aerial light diction scanning（机载激光雷达检测）-known as LIDAR-uncovered what appeared to be man-made structures below the rainforest．Seeking to confirm the discovery，a team of U．S．and Honduran researchers entered the remote region．They were protected by Honduran Special Forces．
Writer Douglas Preston said the team emerged on February 25，after documenting the ruins of a"vanished culture．""In contrast to the nearby Maya，this vanished culture has hardly been studied and it remains virtually unknown．Archaeologists don't even have a name for it，"Douglas wrote．Archaeologists no longer believed in the existence of a single"While City，"he said，instead believing there had been an entire civilization with many cities．

As the main western terminus of Canada's transcontinental highway and rail routes，Vancouver is the primary city of western Canada，as well as one of the nation's largest industrial centres．

2．How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves （or for anyone else）．Registered dietitian （营养学家） Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help．
"Go for nutrient-dense （营养丰富的） foods，"she suggests．"Foods that contain a multiple of nutrients．For example，select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food，rather than coffeecake．Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink，which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water．You just can't compare the value of these foods，the nutrient-dense ones are so excellent，"she emphasizes．
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life-it's the foundation of a healthful diet．Diets，which are based on one or two foods，are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength； they can be very harmful，she says，because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance．
Morrissey also believes that trying to find a diet that will cure your illness，or make yourself a superwoman is a fruitless search，so you will not achieve your aim．As women，many of us are too concerned with staying thin，she says，and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food．
"We need carbohydrates，protein and fat-they are like the wood in the fireplace．The vitamins and minerals are the match，the spark，for the fuel，"she explains．"We need them all，but in a very different proportions （比例）．And if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless．"

1．The most important holiday in spring，especially for Christians，is Easter．This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it's always on a Sunday．It can be any Sunday between March 22and April 25．Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes．Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house．People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day．
