Now many people like fast food. We all know that fast food is not good for our health. So more and more fast food restaurants are serving healthier food and you can make healthier choices. Here are some tips(建议)for ordering healthy food at fast food restaurants.

Don't order the biggest size. The biggest size seems cheaper, but it is not good for your health. The biggest size has the most fat, sugar and so on. A smaller size is probably enough for you.Some drinks are full of sugar. So when , you should choose milk or water.

Usually fried food is not the best choice. You should choose baked(烘烤的)food. It is healthier.

Go for the kids menu, because the sizes of kids food are usually smaller. You can eat less. You can also choose to eat half of what you order and take the other half home to eat later.

Today, more and more fast food restaurants are starting to serve healthier food. You can order the food with words like "healthy" or “light(清淡的)"on the menu.

Eating at fast food restaurants may not be bad for you. By making smart choices, eating at fast food restaurants can be not that bad.

The holiday's upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒体) that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”
But don't be fooled．There's still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．
(1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of ______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．
(2) But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply cannot. The webpage（网页）is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible．
Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it's of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there's still no substitute(替代品)for a book．
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it's something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It's hard work, but while you are reading, you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can bring us pleasure.

It's rare to see a team earn 11 straight wins (连胜) in a tournament (锦标赛). However, the Chinese Women's volleyball team has done it!

On Sept 29, China took the Women's Volleyball World Cup Trophy(奖杯) in Japan. The team didn't lose any of its games during the tournament. It was also the team's 10^th world title (冠军).

"The trophy is the best gift to celebrate the 70^th birthday of New China," People's Daily said in an article.

The Chinese Women's volleyball team has long been the pride of Chinese athletics. In the 1980s, the team won five world titles in a row (连续), which raised people's confidence at the time. Since then its fighting spirit has encouraged generations (一代代) of people, both within the team and across the country.

Working hard was the key to the team's success. The World Cup was played in several different cities and the team didn't have much time to train. The girls had to squeeze in (挤出) training time when they could. On Sept 25, for example, they arrived in Osaka at 2:30 pm and started training only an hour later.

Never giving up, especially during difficult times, is also the key to getting success, according to head coach Lang Ping. Many of the team's members kept on playing even after being hurt.

With their latest win, the girls are ready to prepare for next year's Tokyo Olympics.
