Passage 1

Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.

Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty————sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

Eat healthy snacks like fruit, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat

two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of(代替;而不是)a meal.

Eat fruit and vegetables every day. We should eat fruit and vegetables. Add(增加) a banana to your breakfast, have salad for lunch, and eat some vegetables for dinner. If someone doesn't like to eat vegetables, he or she can eat some fruit instead(代替).

Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off( 推迟) eating dinne r until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 to 10 hours.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules——be honest, be generous(慷慨的), and be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find it out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest,you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always believe in one another as they always speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing, and it makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give lunch money or your clothes. Instead, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Then, naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them,you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later, everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. As a friend, listening can be a first step in helping solve the problem. Besides, you must also try to put yourself in your friends’place so you can understand the problem better.
