【题目】 Candace Payne's life changed forever in May 2017 when she posted a video of herself laughing crazily and wearing a mask. The video spread widely and "Mask Mom “became a household name.
During the two years since that, Candace has published several books, starred in a TLC. web series and went on tour with Mandisa. She made appearances on late night talk shows, met J.J.Abrams and was able to fulfill a dream of taking her family to Disney World. It was a busy but joyful time.
Her latest book is Consider It Joy. "I feel like people need a tool in their hands to actually get the joy they are fighting for, "Candace says, "The book can help you keep track of how much space and time you are devoting to things that aren't worth it in comparison to the joy that I know I could have.”
Getting joy is something that has always been important to Candace. “What the opportunity offered me was not a forced open door,” Candace says, "Many people are trying desperately to push things open when they have to be obedient(顺从的) to the little things.”
Trusting herself has required being confident in saying no. She uses a simple tool to evaluate whether an opportunity is right to her. Candace says, "I have a balance beam (平衡木)where I'm asked to walk every single day as a mom, a wife, a speaker and an author. There are so many things I need to balance at a time. I have to realize what belongs there and what doesn't. The most important factor is joy.”
That's the heart behind the book Consider It Joy. "I really wanted to give people more than just advice about joy, Candace says, "I wanted to give them the ability to actually own it in their everyday life.”

【题目】 Public Health England (PHE) is targeting pizzas, ready meals, ready meat and takeaways. The government has also required the food industry to start using healthier food and encourage the public to opt for lower calorie foods.
It is all part of an effort to cut calorie (卡路里) intake by 20% by 2024. The target will point to 13 different food groups, which are equal to about a fifth of the calorie taken by children. If action is not taken, PHE said, it would be prepared to ask the government to pass laws.
PHE would be strictly monitoring progress by looking at which products people were buying and would be prepared to punish companies which do not take their duties. The government is also organizing a program encouraging adults to consume (消耗) 400 calories at breakfast and 600 each at lunch and dinner.
At present, adults consume between 200 and 300 calories more than they should each day. PHE chief nutritionist Dr Alison Redstone said the 400-600-600 tip would make it easier for “people to make healthier choices" by being able to judge what they should be eating in each sitting.
How many calories should we eat? It is suggested that women eat no more than 2,000 calories a day, while men should limit their intake to 2,500. For children, it depends on age. A four-year-old should consume no more than 1,300, while for teens aged 17 and 18, it is about 3,000, but overweight children are eating up to 500 calories more than that.
Prof Russell Viner, of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, said it was a necessary move. He said, "Over the past 40 years, there had been a slow growth in food sizes, with pizzas and hamburgers simply much bigger than they were in our parents' time." The convenience of fast food at pocket money prices and the advertisement of unhealthy food and drinks to children add to the problem.
【1】What does the underlined word "opt" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Sell.B.Produce.
C.Choose.D.Inspect.
【2】What will happen to a company if it encourages high calorie food?
A.It will be punished by customers.
B.It will be forced to stop producing foods.
C.It will be punished by Public Health England.
D.It will be asked to throw away all the food.
【3】Which of the following people should take in the most calories?
A.Teens aged 18.B.Babies.
C.Middle-aged women.D.Old men.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The government has passed laws about eating healthier food.
B.PHE is concerned about the British health problems.
C.Hamburgers are not bigger than before.
D.Men should eat no more than 2,000 calories a day.

Great changes have been taken place in my village.Ten years ago, the small and low houses of my village lie on the north of a lake. The villagers produced many waste. As a result, the lake was seriously polluted. To the west of the village was a sandy field, where was the source of much dust.
Now the poor house have been replaced by green trees. However, the sandy field that the villagers used to plough has been covered of fruit trees. On the lake, now clean and clearly, the villagers often spend their spare time fish.
