It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles and vegetables．
The United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary
allowances(定量)of protein(蛋白质)，vitamin A．vitamin C，iron，calcium，and calories(卡路里)．
Australia
Meat pies，sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children's health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled foods including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi，sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however are served every day．
In some schools．students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30 pm and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养)．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes.

"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little cold. When the word is changing, the word has different meanings.

"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool." You may think "He's so cool" when you see your favorite footballer.

We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they visited last week. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "It's cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool" can? And I think they are also very cool.
