【题目】 Public Health England (PHE) is targeting pizzas, ready meals, ready meat and takeaways. The government has also required the food industry to start using healthier food and encourage the public to opt for lower calorie foods.

It is all part of an effort to cut calorie (卡路里) intake by 20% by 2024. The target will point to 13 different food groups, which are equal to about a fifth of the calorie taken by children. If action is not taken, PHE said, it would be prepared to ask the government to pass laws.

PHE would be strictly monitoring progress by looking at which products people were buying and would be prepared to punish companies which do not take their duties. The government is also organizing a program encouraging adults to consume (消耗) 400 calories at breakfast and 600 each at lunch and dinner.

At present, adults consume between 200 and 300 calories more than they should each day. PHE chief nutritionist Dr Alison Redstone said the 400-600-600 tip would make it easier for “people to make healthier choices" by being able to judge what they should be eating in each sitting.

How many calories should we eat? It is suggested that women eat no more than 2,000 calories a day, while men should limit their intake to 2,500. For children, it depends on age. A four-year-old should consume no more than 1,300, while for teens aged 17 and 18, it is about 3,000, but overweight children are eating up to 500 calories more than that.

Prof Russell Viner, of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, said it was a necessary move. He said, "Over the past 40 years, there had been a slow growth in food sizes, with pizzas and hamburgers simply much bigger than they were in our parents' time." The convenience of fast food at pocket money prices and the advertisement of unhealthy food and drinks to children add to the problem.

1What does the underlined word "opt" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Sell.B.Produce.

C.Choose.D.Inspect.

2What will happen to a company if it encourages high calorie food?

A.It will be punished by customers.

B.It will be forced to stop producing foods.

C.It will be punished by Public Health England.

D.It will be asked to throw away all the food.

3Which of the following people should take in the most calories?

A.Teens aged 18.B.Babies.

C.Middle-aged women.D.Old men.

4What can be inferred from the text?

A.The government has passed laws about eating healthier food.

B.PHE is concerned about the British health problems.

C.Hamburgers are not bigger than before.

D.Men should eat no more than 2,000 calories a day.

【题目】How to Live a Happy Life

Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. 1 Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long-lasting happiness.

Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body.2 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.

3 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症). On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement.

Challenge Yourself.4 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.

Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter.5

A. Life is always full of hope.

B. Spend time with friends and family.

C. However, sometimes it seems far away from us.

D. It would be better if you take exercise in nature.

E. Do something kind for the people you care about.

F. Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.

G. Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot.
