Good nutrition (营养)and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily .No matter how old your kids are , you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits .Here are some suggestions.Family Meals
Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.
Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.
Stocking up (储备) on healthy food
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines — the food which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.
Being a good example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.
No conflicts over food
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy food in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are aske d to eat.
Get kids included
Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help them make good decisions on their own about the food they want to eat.

答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:C
解析
本文就如何改善孩子营养、帮助他们养成良好的饮食习惯提出了一些建议。首先，要多提供一
家人一起就餐的机会，以便了解孩子们的饮食偏好，也有助于彼此的沟通。而且家里要放一些有营养的零
食，如水果，坚果等。此外家长还要以身作则，在饮食上不要强迫孩子。
小题1:A细节理解题。在Family Meals部分作者提到parents get the chance to introduce new food to children and to find out which food they like and which ones they don’t.以及use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect. 由此可知A为正确答案。
小题2:D词意猜测题。从Stocking up (储备) on healthy food和Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. 可知孩子们习惯吃零食，家里有什么一般就吃什么，所以家长要在家里放着有营养的食品，以随时供孩子们取用。所以on hand意思应该是“在手边的，”故C选项正确。
小题3:B细节理解题。从文章No conflicts over food部分Parents might find themselves shouting at children 。。。 This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat. 可知家长不可以强迫孩子吃某种食物，否则会起到相反的作用。故B选项正确。
小题4:C主旨大意题。文章首段提出平衡饮食和营养的重要性，而且提出 Here are some suggestions.然后分别介绍每条建议。由此可以推断文章中心就是就孩子的健康饮食提出一些建议，所以C选项正确。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
