When you look at your food, some ingredients are easy to see. For example, there is cheese on your pizza and butter on your bread. But our meals are also filled with ingredients you can’t see. And you might be surprised to learn just how much those hidden (隱藏的) ingredients affect your health.

Salt is a perfect example of an ingredient that you might not notice, even when you eat a lot of it. More than 75% of the salt we eat is hidden in restaurant meals, fast food and processed (加工過的) food , such as French fries, hot dogs and even biscuits.

Salt is important to us. It keeps our muscles (肌肉）working and our nerves (神經(jīng)）sending  messages through the whole body. Salt can be used to clean teeth, to make our skin smooth or added to a relaxing bath. Salt is also used to help make food last (持續(xù)) longer.

However eating too much salt can cause heart problems. For a long time, heart trouble has been regarded as an adult problem, but new research shows that salt is starting to affect kids. Then how much salt is safe for kids every day? Let's look at the following chart:

     Ages

   Amount of Salt Every Day

1—3 years old

2 grams

4—6 years old

3 grams

7—10 years old

5 grams

11 or more than 11 years old

6 grams

Kids should not eat more than that.

1.The underlined word “ingredients” means “__________” in Chinese.

A．配料

B．熱量

C．營養(yǎng)

D．脂肪

2.The first two paragraphs tell us _________.

A．how much salt people need every day

B．the result of eating too much salt

C．the importance of salt in our everyday life

D．though people eat much salt every day, they may not notice it

3.Which of the following is Not the use of salt according to the passage?

A．Salt keeps muscles working.

B．Salt helps to make food last longer.

C．Salt helps to see clearly.

D．Salt can be used to clean teeth.

4. If Tim is 10 years old, how much salt should he eat every day?

A．2 grams.

B．3 grams.

C．5 grams.

D．6 grams.

5. What can we learn from the passage?

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．

with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
something or express your appreciation(欣賞)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
you want to play with．a(chǎn)ct friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
