　　Hawaii is famous for its beautiful beaches．Every year water sports, especially surfing and water skiing attract 　　1　　 tourists to the island．

　　Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel 　　2　　 many years．People on 　　3　　 sides of the Pacific Ocean(太平洋)，in Japan and in America, dream of 　　4　　 these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean．In the tropical(热带的)lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so 　　5　　 that you can almost see it move．The sun leaves behind a glow(落日余辉)that lights the sky in the quiet water．

　　People often have a quiet, enjoyable time walking along the water．This scenery is not very different from the exciting beauty that greeted the first tourists to these islands centuries ago．They came in canoes not much 　　6　　 than small boats．They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees(棕榈树)，but there were no grand hotels like 　　7　　 we see today．The first people came to Hawaii nearly 　　8　　 years ago, but skyscraper(摩天大楼)hotels were only built in the last 25 years．Now aeroplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo 　　9　　 San Francisco．　　10　　 people come from, they really want to see the earliest beauty of Hawaii．They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains which are almost hidden by the tall hotels．

　　All right! Enough cookies, Cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days．Television controls their 　　1　　．The kids see well-known people 　　2　　 potato chips, candy and other processed food, and they want to 　　3　　 their heroes．How do they do it?They eat the same food．I wish there were more characters like old Popeye, the sailor, who ate spinach and not French fries．

　　Now I don’t expect my children to eat healthy food because I like brown rive(糙米)，beans, and fresh vegetables．I’m glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them．I really can’t be too upset 　　4　　 the kids because most 　　5　　 aren’t careful about what they eat．　　6　　 night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat．They served hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers 　　7　　 chemicals so that they looked better．　　8　　 the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake, and, of course, chips．I don’t want the world to change 　　9　　 me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat．They always tell me that I probably don’t get my essential proteins．I feel better than 　　10　　 and I am sure that it’s because I am a vegetarian．I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, and natural food．
