Every day when Cora Castle, 14, from Indiana, US goes back home, she turns on her computer and logs into a website called Fuel Up to Play 60.

She puts on what she has eaten and what kind of activities she has played that day. Then the site decides whether Castle has eaten healthily and done enough exercise.

All the seventh graders in Castle's school have done the same thing since the year started. It's part of their health class.

If the site finds her habits are unhealthy, it will give her advice. If she does something good, the website will give her a star.

Her health teacher set up a competition to see which student could get the most stars from the website. Castle has got 30 stars so far.

Cameron Bartlett said she liked tracking(跟踪)the food and activities. "This is the first year we've done it," she said. "It's really interesting to see all of the different choices that we have."

The seventh grade health class is coming to an end. They won't be in health class, but the students all said that they would go on to take part in Fuel Up to Play 60.

"There's lots of bad food out there that we've all been eating," Bartlett said "This really helps all of us eat healthier food."

A bag is useful and the word "bag" is useful, too. Here is an interesting phrase, "to let the cat out of the bag". In meaning it is the same as "to tell the secret". And there is an old interesting story about it.

Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually just throw the chickens in cloth (布) bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man's secret was out and everyone knew it.

Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say "He lets the cat out of the bag". And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
