What time can you have breakfast? Breakfast is very important and you must eat it. People eat
breakfast in one or two hours after they get up. It"s good to eat breakfast before nine o"clock.. Some
people don"t eat anything in the morning. Some are very busy. Others want to be thin. But both (两个
都) reasons are bad. It"s difficult to work or study well without breakfast, and it can"t help one get thin.
In fact, if one doesn"t eat breakfast, it may even make one fat. In the morning, you must eat some good
food. You can eat some eggs, some bread and drink some milk. You can eat some chicken as well. If
you get up late after nine o"clock, you still must eat breakfast. You can eat it in one or two hours after
you get up.
Do you know all birds protect themselves by always listening and watching out for danger? At the
smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly.
Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing (抖动) their feathers.
Another important protection for many birds is their colors. Their feathers often have colors that
match the things around their nests (巢). Some birds change colors with the seasons. In the winter they
are white to match the snow. In the summer they are brown to match the ground.
People sometimes kill birds without meaning to.When people cut down forests to build houses and
factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to
eat, they will die out.
Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their
bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can"t be born.
Now people protect birds by passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some
special parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather
than kill them.

| All of us know trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they give us wood and other products, they give us shade, and the most important of all, they help to prevent droughts and floods. In many parts of the world, however, people have not realized the importance of trees to us. Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build its warships, with which it gained itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire, but without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell into pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and hunger. Even when a government realizes the importance of forests, it is difficult for it to make villagers see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food, and they can earn money by making things or selling wood to the town people. They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government does something to control and also to educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. | |

| Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man can"t make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why there are so many plants around us. Plants are classified (分类) into two kinds-flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can"t see many non-flowering plants around you. If you look at the plants around you carefully, you. will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Thanks to the plants around us, we can live on the earth. | |

| Sometimes, people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world. (1) As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount (量) of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate (率) of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. (2) People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries. In those countries the disease rate is going up with the change of people"s eating habit. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food. (3) Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice. Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects (影响) us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause (引起) diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living. | |
