Daniel was always making excuses(借口)for forgetting to do things．His usual excuse was"I was too busy．"
    Daniel's parents w{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  about him a lot．"He shouldn't go through life making excuses all the time．"his father said．"No one will trust h{#blank#}2{#/blank#}  to do anything．He won't be able to keep a job．"
    "I don't know w{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  we can do，"his mother said．
    "I have an idea．"his father said．"If this doesn't work,nothing will．"
    The next day was Daniel's birthday．He was really looking  forward to getting exciting g{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday．But all day what they s{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  was"Good morning，Daniel. Hurry, or you will be late for school."He was really sad．
    "Never mind," he t{#blank#}6{#/blank#} ．"There'll be a surprise for me after school."
    B{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  there wasn't．Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, "Today is my birthday."
    "Oh," his father said．"I f{#blank#}8{#/blank#} ."
    "So did I."his mother said.
    "How could you forget?"Daniel asked．"There m{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  be a reason."
    "Well, yes," his father said. "It's nothing special, Daniel. We didn't remember your birthday because we were too b{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  ."
    Poor Daniel!He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again.

    There are many kinds of food in the supermarket. Do you know which kinds of food can help you s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} healthy? Let me show you how to make a healthy shopping list.

    You need to have plenty of carbohydrates(含碳水化合物的食物)，such as whole wheat bread. Always go for whole- wheat, whole-grain or "brown" carbohydrates. These are h{#blank#}2{#/blank#} than those in white rice or white bread.

    You need some lean(瘦肉). Meat has protein(蛋白质), which helps you build your body. Some fat is OK, but try to buy some lean such as c{#blank#}3{#/blank#} or beef.

    There is healthy fat in nuts. It will not make you fat, but help you lose fat. Just don't overeat it!

    Don't forget to buy v{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and fruit! They have lots of vitamins(维生素) and there is low-calorie to fill you up.

    Eggs and milk are good for you. Egg whites are a very c{#blank#}5{#/blank#} source of protein. The yolks(蛋黄) have fat, but it is good fat. Try not to eat more than two eggs a day. Make sure your milk is low-fat or fat-free and don't a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} sugar to it.
