How much pocket money do you get from your parents every month? Maybe 200 yuan? But for Li Beibei, 30 yuan each month is enough. The only thing she buys is lunch—1.5 yuan each day. “Meat is too expensive for me,” said Li.

Li, 14, is a Junior 1 student at Beijing’s Xingzhi Experimental School. Her parents are migrant workers(外来务工人员). They came to Beijing from a village in Luohe, He’nan two years ago. Her father now works as a cleaner and gets 500 yuan every month. Her mother has no job.

Li Beibei has 460 friends at Xingzhi. Every day, Li gets up at 5:30 am and rides her bike for 20 minutes to get to school. Like many teens, Li has a lot of homework—usually at least one hour every day. But that is not all her work. During the weekdays she helps her mum cook. On weekends, she helps wash clothes. “I could cook when I was eight. Dad said sometimes I cook better than Mum!”

Li said she wanted to be a doctor. “I watch TV and find out there are many people with AIDS in He’nan. Some are kids. They need help,” said Li.

But she is afraid to leave school. “I hope I will always be in school,” said Li. “Dad works hard to get money. I promise him I will study hard to be a good student and a good doctor in the future.”

1.Li Beibei came from ______.

2.Which of the following sentences is TRUE? ______.

3.She spends ______ on her homework everyday.

4.Her wish is to be a doctor because she wants to ______.

5.The best title of the passage should be ______.

　　You probably know the food pyramid (金字塔) well enough. It is a food pyramid with horizontal stripes (水平线). Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) , such as bread, rice and potatoes, are on the base of the pyramid. They are most of our everyday food. The fats and oils (脂油) are at the top of the pyramid. We should eat the least of them.

　　Well, the food pyramid has been built again and it looks a lot better. It is a food pyramid with vertical stripes (垂直线). Instead of the horizontal stripes, the vertical stripes mean the five food groups and fats and oils. Another change is that the stripes get thinner at the top of the pyramid. This is because not all foods in a food group give us the same health benefltS (好处). A fresh apple, for example, would be on the base of the pyramid, while an apple pie would be at the top. This shows that we can eat more fresh apples than apples in an apple pie. Another big change is the steps (阶梯) going up the side. This shows us how important exercise is. It also shows us that we will be healthier and healthier if we take exercise every day.

　　So why did some American experts change the pyramid? They did this to do a better job of telling people how to be healthy. The new pyramid tells us to have balanced (平衡的) food from each food group every day, and it shows us that we need less of some kinds of food than others. For example, you need less meat or fish than rice or fruit. It also shows us that not all foods in a group give us the same health benefits, and that exercise is quite important in our everyday life.
