Question

Good nutrition (營養(yǎng))and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily .No matter how old your kids are , you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits .Here are some suggestions.

Family Meals

Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.

Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.

Stocking up (儲(chǔ)備) on healthy food

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines — the food which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.

Being a good example

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.

No conflicts over food

Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy food in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are aske d to eat.

Get kids included

Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help them make good decisions on their own about the  food they want to eat.

【解析】

試題分析：本文就如何改善孩子營養(yǎng)、幫助他們養(yǎng)成良好的飲食習(xí)慣提出了一些建議。首先，要多提供一

家人一起就餐的機(jī)會(huì)，以便了解孩子們的飲食偏好，也有助于彼此的溝通。而且家里要放一些有營養(yǎng)的零

食，如水果，堅(jiān)果等。此外家長還要以身作則，在飲食上不要強(qiáng)迫孩子。

1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在Family Meals部分作者提到parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.以及use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect. 由此可知A為正確答案。

2.D詞意猜測題。從Stocking up (儲(chǔ)備) on healthy food和Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. 可知孩子們習(xí)慣吃零食，家里有什么一般就吃什么，所以家長要在家里放著有營養(yǎng)的食品，以隨時(shí)供孩子們?nèi)∮�。所以on hand意思應(yīng)該是“在手邊的，”故C選項(xiàng)正確。

3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章No conflicts over food部分Parents might find themselves shouting at children 。。。 This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat. 可知家長不可以強(qiáng)迫孩子吃某種食物，否則會(huì)起到相反的作用。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

4.C主旨大意題。文章首段提出平衡飲食和營養(yǎng)的重要性，而且提出 Here are some suggestions.然后分別介紹每條建議。由此可以推斷文章中心就是就孩子的健康飲食提出一些建議，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
