The chil

7、dren were served chips and other “junk foods“ (powder and water for soup!) on a daily basis. They shunned any vegetables placed on their plates despite genuine efforts made by the cooks at the canteens to make them food from fresh vegetables. Wastage of food is an enormous issue in these canteens. T

8、his article will be focused mostly on vegetables because these are the main foods which are a problem for children. B Educate your children about the different types of vegetables. Try the following experiment. Take some junk foods like chips, burgers, nuggets, etc. and add a few vegetables like bee

9、t, spinach, watercress, celery, or choose any other vegetables from this list of culinary vegetables and ask your kid the names of each food item. I“ll bet you that your child will know all the junk foods and will fail to know the names of about 30% of the vegetables you“ll place in front of him/her

10、. So the first thing I“ll recommend is to familiarize your kids with the different vegetables there are, their tastes, their textures, their colors, their flavors in food. Let them actually experience the joy of fresh vegetables and hopefully this will help them get rid of the bad image vegetables i

11、ngrained in children“s minds. C Stop rewarding your kids. Most parents try to bribe their children into eating vegetables by coaxing them with rewards. This kind of behavior will instill the idea that vegetables are something that they are forced to eat for a reward. If there are no rewards, your ch

12、ildren won“t bother eating the vegetables. If you are doing this, you must STOP it now because you will only be fooling yourself and your kids for a “short period“. If you want your kids to gain healthy eating habits for the rest of his/her life, you must start by explaining to them why eating veget

13、ables are good for them. They won“t be able to understand this at first but be inflexible (not forceful). Explain each time that kids must eat vegetables to stay healthy and smart. D Stop punishing your kids. Like the rewarding kids, there are some parents who go to extreme measures in order to make

14、 their children finish their meals. These experiences will make the children create an aversion for vegetables. Don“t shove the vegetables down his/her throat but rather be patient and take the time to explain to your children that vegetables will do their health good. E Actually cook them food. Mos

15、t parents actually buy foods for their kids or just microwave something they put together like the “powder and water to make soup“ food. Most of the instantaneous foods which take just a few minutes to cook are actually junk foods. Let your kids taste a real carrot soup with real carrots in it inste

16、ad of just powder and water. If you are like me and don“t have enough time on your hands, just wake up one hour earlier to cook food and get your spouse to help you ff you are married. You may also want to cook in large quantities and freeze the food. Next time you want to serve the foods, just heat

17、 them. If you do not know how to cook, it“s never late to learn. F Limit the pocket money. Kids today have too much money and not enough control. Teaching kids how to manage money is one of the biggest challenges facing any parent. If you can teach your child the difference between needs and wants,

18、how to budget and how to save, your child will know more than many adults. Limit their pocket money so that they don“t buy candy or a chocolate bar every time they are hungry. Prepare them a healthy lunch meal instead of giving them money to buy food to eat. G Give your kids healthy snacks. Instead

19、of giving him two chocolates, two candies, or one chocolate and biscuit, why not treat him to a chocolate and an apple or a yogurt and some biscuit. Kids must eat sweets but also healthy foods. So create a combination of sweets and healthy foods and each time he wants a chocolate, give him an apple

20、dipped in some chocolate or a chocolate cake with oranges in it. He will like it and also eat healthily at the same time. H Hide the vegetables in the dishes. Despite your various attempts and you find your kid still not enjoying the vegetable you have cooked for him, then it is time for you to reso

21、rt to some guerrilla tactics. You must try to hide the vegetables in the dishes you prepare for him. You can puree vegetables for pasta sauces or you put the vegetables on a pizza. You can also make shakes and smoothies from fresh vegetables. There are many sneaky ways to prepare dishes with vegetab

22、les which are not so apparent. If you are discovered by your kids, you may be accused of “cheating“ but at least you are sacrificing yourself for the goods of your children. I Encourage family meals. Children get some motivation and actually love the family atmosphere where everybody sits around the

23、 table for a meal. Even if you are busy all day, at least take some time to enjoy a meal with your children. Learn to know what they are not eating, Encourage them to eat by telling them how such a vegetable will benefit their health. J Make them watch educational cartoons on food and nutrition. Chi

24、ldren are easily influenced by what they watch on TV. A cartoon from Ireland known as Food Dudes is already getting children hooked on vegetables. The Food Dudes are 4 preteens called Razz, Rocco, Charlie and Tom who fight against the evil Junk Punks (General Junk and his sidekicks) who are deprivin

25、g the world of fruits and veggies! The teens get their superpowers by consuming healthful foods like raspberries (Razz), broccoli (Rocco), carrots (Charlie) and tomatoes (Tom). K And last but not least, be a model to your kids. Avoid bad eating habits in front of your children as children are very i

26、ntelligent persons and they can learn very quickly to emulate your eating habits. Also if you“re practicing healthy eating habits, it“s a lot easier to convince children to do the same. Kids are very smart nowadays. You will lose many battles at first but you will win the war eventually if you stick

27、 to the above guidelines. Use your imagination.（分数：30.00）(1).Children“s bad eating habits may derive from their parents“ unhealthy diet.（分数：3.00）(2).Most instantaneous foods prepared by the parents for their children are mostly junk foods.（分数：3.00）(3).When children are still unwilling to eat vegetab

31、Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped Civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calcul

32、ated the length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the gr

33、eatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or

34、 a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficientlythis, after all, is what conquerors and generals have doneis not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civi

35、lized people ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it had been in the right. For th

36、at is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.（分数：20.00）(1).The author thinks that the conquerors and generals and soldiers _.（分数：4.00）A.only appear glorious in history booksB.are greater than any other peopleC.are not as great as depicted in history booksD.do not really help ci

37、vilization forward(2).As is indicated in the passage, the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier is put on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because _.（分数：4.00）A.people respect them very muchB.they fought bravely to protect their citiesC.people think they fought to

38、o brutallyD.they conquered many cities and countries(3).What is the writer“s attitude towards the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries?（分数：4.00）A.Positive.B.Critical.C.Ironic.D.Respectful.(4).The author says that civilized people _.（分数：4.00）A.should not have any quarrels to se

39、ttleB.should not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.should settle their quarrels without fightingD.should settle their quarrels by killing the other side(5).The meaning of the last sentence is that _.（分数：4.00）A.those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrongB.only those

40、 who are powerful should go to warC.those who are right should fight against those who are wrongD.in a war only those who are powerful will win六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：20.00)“Opinion“ is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual us

41、e would probably cause little confusion if people didn“t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,“ and “Everyone“s entitled to his opinion,“ are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challen

42、ge another“s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant. Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another“s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “what do you think of the new Ford cars?“ And he may reply, “In my opinion, t

43、hey“re ugly.“ In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it“s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, “It“s pointless to argue about matters of taste.“ But consider this very different us

44、e of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not show their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and delib

45、eration. Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence. Is everyone

46、entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.（分数：20.00）(1).What do we learn about opinions from the passage?（分数：4.00）A.Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.B.Free express

47、ion of opinions often leads to confusion.C.Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.D.Casual use of the word “opinion“ often brings about quarrels.(2).According to the author, who of the following would be most possibly labeled as intolerant?（分数：4.00）A.Someone who turns a deaf ear t

48、o others“ opinions.B.Someone who can“t put up with others“ tastes.C.Someone who values only his own opinions.D.Someone whose opinions harm other people.(3).The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that _.（分数：4.00）A.it is foolish to criticize a famous brandB.one should not always agree to ot

49、hers“ opinionsC.personal tastes are not something to be challengedD.it is unwise to express one“s likes and dislikes in public(4).Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that _.（分数：4.00）A.it is stated by judges in the courtB.it reflects public likes and dislikesC.it is a result of a lot of controversyD.it is based on careful thought(5).As is indicated in the passage, being free to act on one“s opinion _.（分数：4.00）A.means that one can ignore other people“s criticismB.means that one can impose his preferences on othersC.doesn“t mean that
