A Calendar as a Schedule（计划表）

 Some schedules are actually calendars. The schedule below shows all the important things that are happening on each day at Fairview High School during the month of May. The days on this schedule are listed across the top, and each day of the month has a number.

    Here are a few ways to motivate (激发) your children to do chores.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them， so the parents must set a good example and take the chores seriously. This motivates children to do the chores， too.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} For younger children， give them easy work， like putting away their toys. As the children get older， make them do more difficult chores.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Discuss the importance of doing chores and how they help the whole family. Knowing the importance of chores helps to motivate children to do them.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} When children finish chores on the list， parents can reward (奖励) them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives the children a sense of pride (自豪感) when they finish all of their chores.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Giving money for more chores can also work. But it is not the best way. You should make your children feel that doing chores is the work that they should do.

    If you want your children to learn to love reading, set aside a few minutes every day to read together, no matter how busy you are.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Plan to go to bed a few minutes earlier each night so your children have the time to choose a book to read. Besides, reading aloud to your children can make them more willing to read on their own.

Carrots arc my favourite vegetable. They are very healthy. I have vegetables and noodles for dinner. After dinner, I eat some fruit. Bananas and apples are my favourite fruit. What food don't f like? Hamburgers! They aren't healthy Good eating habits help me to be healthy.

    Here are Alice's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She has two eggs, some bread and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for breakfast. She has rice with meat and vegetables for lunch.  Her favourite food is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. She has vegetables and noodles for dinner. She likes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} best. She doesn't like {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    What foods are successful? Hamburgers and pizzas are popular. But instant noodles(方便面) have also become a world success. Now instant noodles are celebrating their 61^st birthday!

    Instant noodles were invented by a Japanese named Momofuku Ando. To find a way to make noodles last longer, Ando began experimenting(实验) in 1955 and three years later, he made the first bag of instant noodles. Now, 61 years on, they're eaten all over the world. In fact, they're so popular that Japanese consider instant noodles as their best invention!

    Each year, 95 billion packets of instant noodles are eaten around the world. In the UK, people call instant noodles "pot noodles". University students like them a lot. During the first term at college, you may be given a gift bag that includes instant noodles. Instant noodles are cheap and easy to eat. But watch out! People may think you are lazy if you are an instant noodle lover.

    The UN often sends instant noodles as part of its food aid. This is because of their long life and high fat, which makes people feel full for longer time.

    However, instant noodles aren't totally innocent(无辜的). They are high in fat and salt. Health experts say they are bad for us and we shouldn't eat them too often.
