Not many parents realize that by encouraging their children to drink plenty of fresh water,they're helping them build healthier,stronger bodies.
Water is the ideal drink to prevent thirst and ensure hydration(水合作用).Our bodies need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs.Water also transports oxygen to our cells,removes waste,and protects joints and organs.Poor hydration can affect a child's concentration levels, memory and learning ability.
"While most parents know that everyone should be drinking 6~8 glasses of water each day,they often find it difficult to get their children to drink water,"says Megan Pentz-Kluyts,a leading registered nutrition coach. However, there are healthy ways of making water tastier.
Keep a big bottle of water in the fridge that has been flavored with fresh fruits and herbs,such as chopped lemons,strawberries,apples,or oranges,as these flavor the water and up the intake of nutrients.
Mix fruit juices with water to increase water consumption.However,it's better to eat fruit whole as it provides nutrients such as fiber,vitamins,and minerals,which may not always be found in the same quantity once the fruit has been made into a juice.
Freeze bottles of water overnight so that the water is still cool later in the day when the sun is beating down.Use fun containers with your children's favorite characters on them to match the fruit or herb that's been used to flavor it for easy reference when grabbing from the freezer for school.
By encouraging your children to drink water from an early age,you'll help them form a habit that will be easy to follow through for the rest of their lives.You can set the best example by always reaching for water when you're thirsty or by making sure that there's always cool water readily available,whether in the fridge at home or packed into the car for after-school runs or family outings.

The World Health Organization says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks in an effort to limit their usage and popularity. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.
Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. Obese individuals are considered overweight. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. It says that number represents an increase of about 11 million during the past 15 years. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.
The U.N. agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes cases. There are 422 million cases of the disease worldwide. WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every year. It says the use of sugar in food products, like sugary drinks, is a major reason for the increase in rates of obesity and diabetes.
Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency’s Department for the Prevention on Non-Communicable Diseases. He told VOA hat taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Waganivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent drop in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.
The WHO says people should limit the amount of sugar they consume. It says they should keep their sugar intake to below 10 percent of their total energy needs, and reduce it to less than 5 percent for improved health.
1.Why are taxes on sugary drinks required?
A. To limit their use and popularity.
B. To readjust the economic structure.
C. To warn people to change their life style.
D. To ensure the market’s diverse development.
2.What do the figures in the second paragraph suggest?
A. Adult obesity is ignored at present.
B. Obesity is a severe worldwide problem.
C. Obesity can block economic development.
D. Obesity is most serious in developed countries.
3.What does the underlined word “enacted” mean in the passage?
A. Abolish B. Pass
C. Promise D. Reduce
4.What does the example of Mexico prove?
A. Tax policies are unfair to the poor.
B. Sugary drinks are a threat to health.
C. The poor consume more sugary drinks.
D. Taxing sugary drinks makes a difference.

Recently there has been a heated debate on whether the university should charge a fee to the public who use its sports field. People’s attitudes toward it vary from person to person.
Many people think that universities should serve the public, not just their professors and students. In 1. opinion, universities are public assets—they should serve not only the students and faculty 2. the general public as well. If there are too many “outside” people on the campus disturbing the order, school officials should do something to control the crowds without3.(demand) payment. In addition, the university has many other options to control public access4. the campus or sports field, such as giving free access cards to 5. (resident) of the closest communities, or rotating a limited number of cards between residents. Charging a fee is not a fair option.
However, opponents argue that universities are not 6.(complete) open spaces for the public to use. They hold the view that charging a fee is the most effective way of controlling access and making the most value out of the university’s resources. A high fee would filter out most of the visitors who have no desire 7.(use) the sports field for its intended purpose. Besides, universities and their assets are expensive investments, 8. (fund) by the government and the public, for the education of students and 9. (science) research. If members of the public 10.(want) to use these facilities, which might cause stress on the university’s resources, it will make sense that they should pay a price.

I stand outside waving at the car pulling slowly out of our driveway. I force a smile, hoping it will cover up my tearing eyes, but I know it’s not working. I run into the house, slam the door behind me, and begin crying. It’s just occurred to me that I can’t see my elder sister, Monsura, in the next four months.
I ask myself why it is that I’m crying when I know she's doing something good for herself. I feel selfish for thinking about it but I’d be lying if I said I was happy for her choosing to study in a university in Boston. When my brother, Shafat, left for college, it was different. I still had one sibling at home to call me the stupidest person on a daily basis.
I am reminded of the things we did together as kids. In our old two-bed-room apartment, our parents gave in to our constant begging and traded rooms with us for one night. It was like being part of the amusement park, using our parents’ big bed as a trampoline (蹦床).It was during the first night that I witnessed a full moon. My sister and I believed my brother. He said that the moon was yellow because it was made from cheese. We made plans to visit the moon so we could melt a part of it and make cheese dip. But now I laugh at myself for being so innocent.
Sitting in front of my computer, I listen to songs that remind me of my two best friends. I come to terms with the fact that there's no longer anyone here to laugh uncontrollably with me or to turn to at night when I have a nightmare.
I’m shaken into reality by the sound of my cell phone ringing. Shafat is calling. I pick up and he immediately says “Thank you for such a great childhood.'' Those few words mean the world to me. We three-way call Monsura and spend the next hour reliving memory after memory, and by the end, I forget that I’m alone at home.
1.Why does the writer feel very sad?
A. She isn't admitted to a university.
B. She has no one to accompany her at home.
C. Monsura thinks she is stupid.
D. Monsura and Shafat didn’t go to the same college.
2.The kids traded rooms with their parents because .
A. they hoped to sleep in one room
B. they expected to see a fall moon
C. they could play together on their parents’ bed
D. they wanted to make plans to visit the moon
3.What is the turning point of the story?
A. That the writer’s brother left home for college.
B. That the writer cried hard on the day when Monsura left.
C. That the writer listened to songs that remind her of something.
D. That the writer talked with her sister and brother on the phone,
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. My childhood B. A very sad day
C. A hard-won family union D. The most precious family love
