Every country has its own way of cooking.

Most people in the United States like fast food, but if you think that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, you are wrong. It's true that most Americans eat fast food for their breakfast and lunch, but {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Parents see the importance of teaching their children how to cook, and most Americans say that home-cooked meals are the best.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. For example, baking（烘焙) is the most popular way of cooking in America. Most American families have ovens and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. In planning a big meal, they try to cook meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often some sweet food.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. There are many kinds of foods in different colors, so the meal is healthy and looks beautiful, too.

Michelle, a famous lady, has found that more than 25% students are too fat in her country. It is a very serious problem. So she starts a Health Program to deal with it. The Health Program is to reduce the number of fat students today and in the future.

The program will get families, schools, newspapers, magazines and TVs to join together and deal with the students'obesity so that students will be at a healthier weight.

The program includes: Food stores should sell healthier foods; schools should arrange(安排) healthier meals without too much fat and more gym classes.

The lady is trying to fight the students' obesity all over the country because it can cause illnesses and high food cost. She wants the students to eat right, exercise more and control their weight. She also wants the students to understand it is important to have less sweet food and drink water, milk and fresh juices, but not to choose cokes. At the same time, she has also set a good example by planting a vegetable garden. She hopes that the garden will encourage more people to plant one, too.

The Health Program is really meaningful to the students today and in the future. As she says, "We can't always build the future for the young, but we can build the young for the future."

Human activity is bringing big trouble to Mount Qomolangma. Both microplastics ( 微塑料)and climate (气候) change have a bad effect (影响) on the mountain, scientists say.

The highest mountain in the world is facing the problem of microplastics. A recent study found that the mountain is full of these plastics, which are usually less than 5 millimeters in size. They canbe found in many things, including the clothing, tents and ropes that are left behind by climbers.

Microplastics take thousands of years to break down ( 分解) on their own. They are already known for posing a danger to  sea animals. Now people are worried about Qomolangma, as themountain already suffers (遭受) from serious pollution.

Global warming is also affecting the mountain, as well as its climbers. Another study points out that the glaciers (冰川) around Qomolangma have thinned by nearly 100 meters since the 1960s. As the ice melts (融化), cracks (裂缝) in the ice are becoming deeper and more dangerous, bringing danger to those who try to climb the mountain, according to Global News.

Landslides (滑坡) are also becoming more probable. There are many parts of the mountain that are held together by just frozen rocks or permafrost (永久冻土), according to Professor Joseph Shea at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. When this permafrost melts, the risk of dangerous landslides goes up.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.

Take making ice as an example. China didn't use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn't friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months' hard work, China independently developed the CO₂ direct cooling technology.

A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO₂ goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO₂ evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO₂ goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there's no new CO₂ produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO₂ direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.

Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.
