If you want to have someone wake you up in the morning, your may call ________．
You are sitting in class and you are very hungry．Finally, the bell rings and it’s time for lunch－Woo-hoo！After several hours in class, you should have a chance to go to the dining room．and sit down。relax, and enjoy the happy time together with your friends over a lunchtime meal．But wait a moment－Ⅵmat exactly are you eating？’
Compared with other meals．kids have more choices of what they eat for lunch at school．A kid can choose to cat green vegetables or throw them away．A kid can also choose to eat an apple instead of an ice cream sandwich．
When choosing what to eat for lunch．making a healthy choice is really important．Here’s why：Eating different healthy foods helps you grow the way you should, and can even keep you from getting sick．
What does a healthy lunch look like？We will give you some fight answers to that question．
Most kids have the choice of packing lunch or buying one at sch001．The good news is that a kid can get a healthy lunch by,doing either one because some meals and foods sold in the school‘s dining room are very healthy for you．
The typical school lunch is still higher in fat than it should be．according to a study．That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy your lunch．It just means you might want to give the menu a closer look．Read the menu the night before．Knowing what。s for lunch beforehand will let you know whether you want to eat it！
A packed lunch isn’t always healthier than the one you buy at sch001．If you pack chocolate cakes and potato chips, that’s not a healthy meal！But a packed lunch；if done in the right way, does have a clear advantage．when you pack your lunch．be sure it includes your favorite healthy foods．It’s a meal just for you．If your favorite sandwich is peanut butter and bananas, just make it and pack it－then you can eat it for lunch．Go and pack them！
If you want to pack your lunch, you’ll need some help from your parents．Talk to them about what you like to eat for lunch so that they can prepare t110se foods for you．This is nice of them．But you may want to watch how they do it and ask if you can start making your lunches yourself．It’s a way to show that you're growing up．

If you can pack your lunch by yourself,you are growing up．
Let’s step back in time．As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of years ago, your name would be made up of several words．Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town．You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy．
After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents．Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work．Only scribes and doctors went to school．When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for．Your family doesn’t miss having money, because there is no such thing．
Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their work enjoyable．Girls and women are often musicians and gymnasts, celebrating life through music and dance．
When harvest time comes, everyone helps in the field．Girls toss grain and corn high in to the wind to clean it．Boys bundle crops and put them inside baskets．There is lots of work to do in old Egypt, but also time for play．On the way back from the fields you might stop for a swim in the Nile River or one of the canals．
If you were sick you would be taken to a priest in the temple called The House of Life．The priest would feel your head and then his own, so he could compare the temperatures．If you were sick, he would stand over you and chant a magical spell, speaking directly to your illness．Then he might give you healing plants or potions to eat which often smelled or tasted very bad．Ancient Egyptian doctors figured that awful medicine might make the illness want to leave the child’s body．Some herbs and plants that these ancient doctors used are still used today－like drinking chamomile tea for an upset stomach．
Your family pet might be a little monkey that followed you around all day, a protective goose, a cat, or a dog．Pet owners would often have their pets mummified at death．
Common toys in ancient Egypt were：balls made of linen rags wrapped around each other, tied with string, and painted; games like checkers; dolls made of cloth and clay; and little animal pull toys made of wood．
