外研社英语课文：Module 10 Fitness

How was your basketball training?

It was OK, but I'm a bit tired. My legs ache a bit.

Don't give up if you want to stay fit. You're lucky you're only playing in the school team! I've got a friend whose brother is training for the Olympics.

There's a boy in our team whose parents want him to go to a sports school. But he's not fit or strong enough.

He'll need to take a lot of exercise --- go running or do weight training.

So what happened about the camera, Tony?

Don't talk to me about that! I think my dad guessed that I nearly lost it at the school dance. I'm not allowed to use it any more.

But we need some photos of the next basketball match.Are you going to buy a camera?

Unlikely! It's my father who gives me my pocket money, and he's the person whose camera I nearly lost.

Hi, everyone. Guess what! I've just bumped into the head teacher. He said he wanted to see me.

What's up?

He wants to talk about New Standard.

Ask him if he wants to write something about staying healthy.

He doesn't look like someone whose fitness and health interest him very much!

Good luck, Betty.

Feed me better

Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating.

Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. "We have hamburgers and chips, or pizza," they told him,"and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream."Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn't just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.

When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn't know what they were. Jamie realised that the children didn't know about healthy food. Then he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn't know enough about food and health, and they didn't have very much money to spend.

He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn't healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they liked it!

Jamie talked to the government. He told them they needed to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him. The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain. #p#分页标题#e#
