Teenagers who do not get enough of the nutrients commonly found in fruits and fish are easier to have bad lungs, coughing and wheezing (喘息).Teens who eat the least of fruit and especially vitamin C have weaker lungs compared to the others.
Teens who take in less vitamin E, found in vegetable oil and nuts, are more likely to have asthma(哮喘), Jane Bums at the Harvard School of Public Health found.
Based on these findings.Bums said that current recommended dose(一剂)of vitamin C, 85 mg a day, may not be enough for teens to have healthy lungs.Teens who eat less fruit and don't take in enough fatty acids (脂肪酸) are more likely to have asthma and the signs of breathing difficulty.
Proper amounts of fatty acids are protective, Bums said, though fish, the best source of fatty acids, is particularly unpopular with teenagers.Fatty acids are also found in some nuts as well as some green vegetables'.Smokers who avoid vitamin C will increase their chances of coughing, wheezing and developing phlegm(痰).
More than 80 percent of teens are getting their recommended doses of vitamin C - mainly from fruit drinks."I wouldn't approve of drinking them, but at least they're getting their vitamin C from somewhere," Burns said.
Burns added that there are several different ways to get the necessary nutrients."I think vitamin supplements are fine.I think adding vitamin D to orange juice is fine.But I do think there are added benefits that we don't fully understand of eating whole foods like fruits and vegetables and fish," she said.The researchers did not account for poverty and other factors that often distinguish less-healthy eaters and may explain their findings.
According to the passage, what is the problem with teens who don't get enough nutrients?

A.They are becoming smokers. B.They don't take enough exercise.
C.They eat too much fruit and fish. D.They are likely to have weaker lungs.

According to Burns, how should teens get the necessary nutrients?

A.By drinking juice as much as possible.
B.By eating more whole foods.
C.By taking vitamin pills.
D.By giving up smoking.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the researchers in the passage?

A.The amount of nutrients teens should take in a day.
B.How teens can take in enough nutrients.
C.Whether poor teens can prove their findings.
D.The fact that teens don't like fish.

What is the best title for the passage?

A.Poor nutrition hurts teens' health. B.Teens lack proper nutrition.
C.Teens are easy to suffer from diseases. D.More fruit help keep teens healthy.

We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe some other customs. Here I’ll give you some dos and don’ts about them in the following:
1) Don’t leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)
2) Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead,
3) Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.
4) Don’t ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)
5) After dinner, use your napkin to clean your mouth and hands.
6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.
Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.

Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.

Here is a question I have often asked at dinner parties:

But his son is a no-good playboy who has no interest in going to medical school and will waste that money away in a very short time. But your son is entering college, and he is willing to become a doctor. Which one do you give the money to for medical school?
