There are different delicious foods around us, but not all the foods are healthy. Young children like French fries, ice-creams, chocolates and hamburgers. But these foods are junk foods. They are not good, because they have too much fat, salt and sugar. They are bad for our bodies. Many children prefer junk foods rather than healthy foods. They don’t like eating healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits and cereals. But healthy foods can make you healthy and smart. You’d better eat more healthy foods .

Read the jokeRead the joke (ED)(ED)

One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of the mouse, so she ran out of the house, got into a bus and went to a shop. There she bought a mousetrap （捕鼠器） . The shopkeeper said to her, "Put some cheese in it and you will soon catch that mouse." The lady went home with her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard , she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to go back to the shop, because it was very late, so she cut a photo of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap. Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
