In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.Often parents know what their children want. Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier fo od at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”But are school dinners healthy? Katz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks (汽水) were offered and I think there were lot of chips.”Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews（炖汤）and curries（咖喱） for the children instead.So Janie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinnerladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seemsthat the changes have begun.Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food windowwhere you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year.There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”【小题1】_______ would like the children to have the school meals.

They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chor es on weekends.Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things.

Of course, their parents help them at first.【小题1】How do many children get pocket money in some Western countries?A．They ask their parents for it. B．They do part-time jobs. C．They do chores.

Trash and garbage are other words for waste things that people no longer want or need. In San Francisco, they are also words for art. A local recycling （资源回收利用） company created a program to make artists reuse unwanted objects. Artists are paid to work for four months on transforming (转化) things like old tires, toys and paint.Ma Li is one of the artists at the center. She is working on a project that includes plastic bottles and cloth. She is turning them into a moving sculpture （雕塑） with stars, flowing hair and dancers. Ms Li says she learned recycling from her parents while growing up in China in the 1980s. It was a time when the country was poorer andmore concerned about saving money than it is today. A gallery （画廊） in Los Angeles is showing some of the art from San Francisco project. Each year more than 5,000 children and adults visit shows created by the artists.Mike Sangiacomo controls the recycling company. He says he hopes to see as much waste as po ssible reused. “Along the way, if some of it is made into some fun pieces of art and draws(吸引) people’s attention to the issue （问题）, we think it’s a great way to do something that’s good for our society.”And the project shows how a little imagination can change one person’s trash into another’s art work.【小题1】The following three has the same meaning EXCEPT________.A ．trashB ．garbageC ．wasteD ．resource【小题2】Which of the following can be called garbage?A ．Eggs.B ．Tires.C ．Toys.D ．Broken glass.【小题3】When a good person is poor and concerned about money, then he may________.A ．waste thingsB ．steal moneyC ．recycling thingsD ．buy gold 【小题4】Where are the arts shown that are made by Ma Li?A ．In Washington.B ．In Los Angeles.C ．In Son Francisco.D ．In China. 【小题5】Which statement is RIGHT according to the passage?A ．Ma Li makes the sculptures for free.B ．Ma Li’s parents used to waste a lot of things.C ．Waste things can never be reused.D ．Recycling is good forenvironment.四、多任务混合问题20.
