In 2008，
the
United States Department of
Agriculture(USDA)wanted to know if all the school
lun-ch
es served to students were healthy．The
answer was a bi9，fat NO!
The USDA found
that most American schools served lunches with too
much fat and salt
．They also found that most of
the fruits and vegetables in the lunches came from
cans(罐
7 13
头)．Canned fruits and
vege—tables are not as good as fresh ones．
The USDA gives schools food and money to make
lunches．But schools make up their o
wn
menus．Some make healthy lunches．Most do not．Now
the USDA wants all schools
to serve more
healthy lunches．They want schools to follow the
USDA’
s guidelines for balanced(均衡)meals．
Mike Sanders，in charge of the USDA in
2008，
said the USDA should teach school workers
how to make healthier lunches．“A good sch
ool
lunch is just as important as a good
textbook，”
Sanders said．He said that children
also need to learn about healthy foods．
The
USDA is working on a new program--Fresh Start．It
will give schools more fresh fruits
and
vegeta-bles．Fresh Start will also help schools
change their lunches to make them healt
hier．To
find the best way to change lunches，the USDA held
meetings with parents，
school
leaders，doctors，and cooks．
Children already
eat healthy lunches at Chief Joseph School in
North Saratoga，
Oregon．They have whole．wheat
bread with low-fat cheese．and low-fat milk．
44．What did the USDA find about lunches in
most American schools in 2008 7
A．They
were mostly fruits and vegetables．
B．They
contained too much fat and salt．
C．Most
of them were canned food．
D．Most of them
were healthy．
45．What are schools required to
do to make the lunches healthy?
A．Provide
balanced meals．
B．Make up new guidelines．
8 13
C．Design their own menus．
D．Cook with more vegetables．
46．What was
Mike Sanders?
A．An office secretary．
B．A school headmaster．
C．The head of the
USDA．
D．The director of Fresh Start．
47．What is the goal of the Fresh Start
program?
A．Selling fresh fruits and
vegetables．

Magic(魔
法)often forces US not to
believe our own eyes or even appears to be
breaking the laws of p
hysics or nature!
The word“magic”has many different meanings．
When a bird appears in a hat or when someone
declares that he could see into the
future-
-both can be called magic．When a sick
person sudden-1y becomes well or a well
person(or
eVen animal)becomes ill, magic is
the cause．The British author Terry Pratchett uses
magic
a great deal in his popular Discworld
series of books．
Magic has alwaYs been used
for fun．People enjoy working out in which cup the
little ball i
s or how he knows which card l
was thinking of．
9 13
Harry
Houdini was one of the first world-famous
magicians—
famous for escaping from deadly
situations．
Recently David Copperfield，or
David Blane，has become very popular for
his
“unbelievable abilities”，such as making the
Statue of Liberty disappear or rise．
Magical
rings and three—headed dogs may not be real，
but does this mean nothing magical really
exists? Can you always explain how the magician
h
as done the card trick? Maybe it is better
not to explain，
but to leave a little magic in
our lives．Pick a card．any card．．．
author
explains what magic is in paragraph 1 by ．
A．using examples
B．giving causes and
effects
C．1isting the time of magical events
D．comparing a healthy person with a sick one
49．Who is mentioned as a great escape artist?
A．David Blane
B．Harry Houdini．
C．Terry Pratchett．
D．David Copperfield
50．What does the author think of magic?
A．It changes our lives．
B．It provides
people with fun．
C．It breaks the laws of
physics．
D．It explains strange things in our
lives．
