話題鏈接：Family income after taxes remained virtually unchanged between 2001 and 2002 after growing during the previous five years, says Statistics Canada．After-tax income for families of two people or more was an estimated $60 500, virtually unchanged from $60 300 in 2001 after adjustments for inflation, the agency said Thursday．

　　“This lack of growth was in contrast to the increase of 3.2 per cent in annual average after-tax income for these families between 1996 and 2001．”

　　Average after-tax income declined in 2002 for single-parent families headed by women, the agency said．However, their income gains were among the strongest between 1996 and 2002 because more single mothers had jobs．

　　“On average, the after-tax income for the estimated 500 000 single-parent families headed by women declined to $30 800 in 2002 from $32 500 in 2001．”

　　“For unattached individuals, after-tax income amounted to $25 900 in 2002, up 2.4 per cent from 2001．”

　　After-tax income for families of two people or more remained stable in most provinces, but there was the occasional exception．

　　“In Alberta, after-tax income declined to $64 300 in 2002 from $65 600 in 2001．”“The biggest gain was in Nova Scotia where after-tax income for families of two or more people rose to $51 000 from $49 800．”

問題導(dǎo)入：Should we know our family's income？(你覺得孩子有必要知道家庭的收入情況嗎？)

Student 1：As a high school student, I think we should know our parents' income．It not only helps us understand our parents, but also helps us know life is not easy．We should make the best use of the money and not waste money．

Student 2：In my point of view, students shouldn't know their parents' income, or they'll change their study attitude．If they know their parents have lots of money, they will not put their hearts into study．They'll think that their parents will be able to offer them a chance of working in the future, even if they don't study hard．Our parents have the right to keep their own personal matters private．They work hard and get what they want with their money．

Parent 1：I want my child to know our family's income．Because my income is not very good, but I work so hard．I want him to know“gain comes from pain”．I think it will help him to face difficulties in life and study and try his best to overcome it．

Parent 2：I think letting children know their parents' income is not a good thing．I have my own company and can earn more money than average families, so I can offer my son a richer life and can even arrange his future life for him．But I find my son doesn't want to study, he seems to think he can have everything in life more easily than his classmates．So I'm worried about my son．

Teachers：We think that children should know their parents' income．The most important thing is to show children the fact that people need to work for their money and to tell them how to manage their money as an independent person．What's more, this will also help children understand that they should share troubles with their parents．At least, they should learn to make the best use of money and not to follow fashions all the time．

　　話題鏈接：Proper habits of nutrition can be developed by paying attention to the variety of foods included in the diet; and the quantity of each kind of food eaten．A diet, or the food regularly eaten, must contain all the nutritional(營養(yǎng)的)elements．Different food contains different vitamins(維生素)，let's look at the food one by one．

　　EGGS

　　Eggs are an excellent source of complete protein(蛋白質(zhì))；they contain all essential amino acids(氨基酸)．One large egg contains 7 or 8 grams of first-class protein．Also found in eggs are vitamins A, B2, D, and E; niacin(煙酸)；copper; iron; phosphorus(磷)；and unsaturated(不飽和的)fats．The egg yolk contains the richest known source of choline, found in lecithin and necessary for keeping the cholesterol (膽固醇)within the egg emulsified(蛋白)．The egg yolk also contains biotin(維生素H)，one of the B-complex vitamins．

　　FIBER

　　Fiber is the part of food that is not digested by the human body, such as the skin of an apple and the husk(殼，皮)of a wheat kernel．The normal functioning of the intestinal tract depends upon the presence of adequate fiber．A low-fiber diet has been associated with heart disease, cancer of the colon and rectum(直腸)，diverticulosis(瘢痕形成)，varicose veins(紋理)，phlebitis(靜脈炎)，and obesity．

　　FISH

　　Fish are excellent sources of high-grade protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and minerals, especially iodine(碘)and potassium(鉀)．Fish are categorized as freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and shellfish．These types differ slightly in nutritive value．Freshwater fish provide magnesium(鎂)，phosphorus, iron, and copper．Saltwater fish and shellfish are rich in iodine, fluorine(氟)，and cobalt (鈷)．Fatty fish, such as halibut(比目魚)，mackerel(鯖魚)，and salmon, are good sources of vitamins A and D．Herring, oysters, and sardines contain vanadium and zinc．Shellfish are low fatty acids but are relatively high in cholesterol．

　　FRUITS

　　Fresh fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A and C, carbohydrates in the form of cellulose and natural sugars, and water．They are good substitutes of such high-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)foods as candy, cookies, and cakes, which contain few nutrients．Yellow fruits, such as apricots, cantaloupe(香瓜)，and persimmons(柿子)，are good sources of carotene(胡蘿卜素)，which is converted to vitamin A．Aside from acerola cherries and rose hips, the best natural sources of vitamin C are the citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines(橘)；other sources of vitamin C are cantaloupe, strawberries, and tomatoes．Apples and bananas contain valuable bulk fiber in the form of indigestible(不可吸收的)cellulose, which is needed for regular bowel movement．Bananas are high in magnesium(鎂)and may be useful for treatment of diarrhea, colitis, ulcers, and certain cases of protein allergies．Bananas and pears are the highest in natural sugars．

　　GRAINS

　　Grains are often referred to as cereals ;they are the seeds of various grasses such as wheat, oats, rice, and barley．Often called the “staff of life”, they provide the bulk of the world's food supply．Common foods made from these grains are flours, breads, breakfast cereals, and macaroni．

　　話題鏈接：You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country．For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; The other still lay in the vaults of the Bank．Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it．Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't．Brother A said he couldn't offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot．So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too．Brother A took him up．Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note．Just like an Englishman, you see; pluck to the backbone．Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to…．

話題鏈接：近年來，隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)的飛速發(fā)展，人們網(wǎng)上交流的日益頻繁，網(wǎng)上交友也日漸增多，網(wǎng)上交友到底如何？請看下文，然后想一想。

Friendship in Internet

　　In so many ways, cyberspace(網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間)mirrors the real world．People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips there．Others buy and sell products．Still others look for friendship, or even love．

　　Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．Rather, a person’s thoughts－or at least the thoughts they type－are what really count．So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star．Usually, this“faceless”communication doesn’t create problems．Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies．

　　In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat their interests?

　　But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．They are looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love?The answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others fail miserably．

　　Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows people to get to know each other intellectually(理智)first．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why?Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them．Internet users can carefully play with their words to fit whatever image they want to give．And they don’t have to worry about what their“speechless”communication is doing for their image．In a sense, they are not really themselves．

　　All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．But not knowing about a person is a big problem in a love relationship．With so many unknowns its easy to let one’s imagination…

想一想：Discuss with your classmates about how to deal with the friends on the Internet?
