倡导健康生活　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2023·山东省聊城市高考一模]When it comes to making lunch for their kids, moms and dads have usual favorites. For some parents in the US, those favorites are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches—also known as PB&Js. Fruit like apples and bananas are also popular. But one mother has an unusual go­to ingredient for her children's lunches. Jenny Mollen uses funny­looking candy eyes. She has learned that her children will eat any healthy food if it has edible eyeballs attached. The “eyeballs” are really pieces of candy. Her children laugh while they eat healthy foods like bell peppers, kiwis, or dates. Mollen says candy “eyes” make lunch more fun. “Honestly, first of all, just buy yourself some candy googly eyes.
