But you need to pay attention to what you eat. Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. Be careful of the health claims on food packages. Just because something says “all natural” or “pure” it doesn’t always mean it’s good for you. Be careful of low-fat food claims, too. If the fat has been cut back the amount of sugar in the food may have been increased to keep the food tasting good. Many low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions. Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine. *Keep healthy snacks with you. Keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home, so you can take them with you when you go out. *Satisfy cravings (渴望) with healthier foods. If you’re crazy about chocolate, try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. Trade ice-cream for yogurt. If you want something salty, eat whole grain biscuits instead of potato chips. *Pay attention to the amount you eat. As with everything, moderation (适度) is the key to smart snacking.[写作内容]1.概括短文的内容要点，该部分的词数大约30词左右；2.针对本文所陈述的内容发表自己的看法，至少包含以下的内容要点，该部分的词数约120：1)简述摄取过多的脂肪和热量的负面影响。2)你对周围爱吃零食的人的合理化建议。[写作要求]你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料的句子。Possible version:The author of the passage intends to inform us of the necessity for teens to choose healthy and moderate snacks, which is beneficial to their health.

And most fat people act and react slowly, which has a bad effect on their work and study. Worse still, they are liable to some diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart trouble and so on.It’s highly advisable that those who are crazy about snacks should eat snacks when necessary. For example, after you take exercise and feel hungry, you’d better have some healthy snacks, such as fresh fruit, nuts, raisins and so on, which is much enough to add the necessary calories or nutrients.读写任务3阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。Dear Wei Hua,I’d like to tell you that I managed to achieve a full score of 120 points in Canada, where the iBT TOEFL was launched earlier this year.

Since then, I have realized that it is keeping our promise that makes us feel a sense of fulfillment and wins respect from others.

I formed a habit to take a walk with them after dinner, talking about my study, ambitions and their rich experience.In my opinion, we should treat the old people just like what we want to be treated when we are old. Honor and respect should be given to them by their relatives and the whole society, because they are in poor health, bad mental conditions, and can’t manage everything by themselves. Besides, they’ve already contributed a lot to their family and society and they deserve love from us all. (122 words )读写任务6 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。We Have Different Ideas! This may be the most important choice—the turning point in my life. Never before have I been so serious. For me, a Senior Three student, which university to choose is really a hard question, especially when I hold a completely different opinion from my parents. I’m longing for Wuhan University for its long history, beautiful campus and academic atmosphere. Besides, it’s a good chance to experience a different culture. But to my great surprise, when my parents heard this, they are strongly against my idea. Moreover, I was shocked to find mum crying! She asked in tears, “Why don’t you stay in Guangzhou? So young a girl, how can you take good care of yourself? Wuhan, oh! It’s too far away. What if I want to see you or you want to see me?” My father also asked me a serious question, “Are you sure you can find a good job in Guangzhou after graduation?” Actually, I’ve thought about all these. As an independent and active girl, I certainly can handle all the problems. I insist on my choice, but I really value my parents’ agreement.【写作要求】1. 概括短文要点，字数为30词左右；2. 假设你是这位学生的班主任，该生向你求助，希望你能帮她说服她的父母，请写下你要对家长说的话，字数为120词左右，至少包括以下内容：（1）客观分析去外地读大学和留在广州读大学的利与弊；（2）陈述你支持这位学生的理由。3. 标题自拟。 One possible version： Where to Go for University?The author described a conflict between her parents and herself on whether to go to Wuhan University. As an independent girl, she wants to experience more in another city while her parents worry a lot. As her head teacher, I have the responsibility to help solve the problem even without her begging. Firstly, I should admit I really understand your feelings. Parents always love and care for their children no matter how old they are. It actually is a great challenge for a young girl to study in another city. What’s more, when in the 4th year, she may have to come back to Guangzhou several times to seek a good job here. As an old saying goes, every coin has two sides. If you see it in a more optimistic way, you’ll find more benefits. In my memory, she’s always independent and strong. No matter what happens, she remains calm and intelligent. As a consequence, I believe she could handle everything. Additionally, Wuhan University is a most famous university in China, so, if she spares no efforts to study, she’ll certainly get a dreaming job. Most importantly, it’s a good opportunity to broaden her horizons and make more friends.All in all, I’m fully convinced that to study in another city is really a good way to enrich one’s life experience.读写任务7阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 An English proverb goes like this , " Spare the rod and spoil the child ." It implies that in order to enable a child to grow healthily , parents must make him eat bitter foods, do hard work and be sent to places where he can get the fullest training and knowledge. First of all , eating bitter foods is necessary for a child . Poor food can help cultivate in him the frugal (节俭的 ) habit and make him realize what we eat daily is the fruit of the sweat of the laboring people . Consequently , he will not be wasteful when he grows up . Secondly , parents should also make the child do hard work . Doing hard work will give him an opportunity to taste the bitterness of labor. Moreover, hard work may also enable him to cherish the fruit of other's labor. Finally , children should be sent to somewhere where life is hard if possible . Human society is full of tests and trials . Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm . Therefore, children should be allowed to face the world and brave the storm . It is in difficult conditions that young people can get the most training and learn how to solve the problems in various circumstances .【写作内容】1. 概括短文的内容要点，该部分的词数大约为30；2． 就"童年时代需要艰难生活的磨砺"这一主题发表你的看法，该部分的词数大约为120。短文至少包括以下的内容：（1）描述你的童年生活（2）你对童年时期的生活有怎样的认识【写作要求】 你可以使用实例或其他方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭材料中的句子。One possible version：1）.We know sometimes difficult conditions can really make a man, so parents should let their children eat bitter foods, do hard work and experience a hard life. I grew up in an ordinary family, which is not so well off. I could understand the hardships my parents were bearing at that time. Therefore, I work very hard now in the hope of entering the university and change the situation of my family and me.I think that in a certain sense, difficult situations can stimulate a person's potential and pave the way for him to success. One can be strong, brave and faithful after all these hardships he has gone through. All in all, as far as I am concerned, I think that flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm and that a hard life is good for children. 2）.To make the child grow strong, parents should make him eat poor food, do hard work, and experience life in bad conditions, with which a child will value the labour and be capable of facing hardship.I lived a happy childhood. Not only did my parents love me form the bottom of heart, but also they gave me chances to increase my ability. My parents attached primary importance to the management of my pocket money, which led to the consequence that often I could only watch my friends eating candies with my empty pocket. This experience helped me wake up to the truth that my parents worked hard to earn a life, and so would I in the future.As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." it is obvious that the way one lives his childhood plays an important part in his development. If one is brought up in a family that is wasteful, he is likely to be lazy when he grows up. On the other hand, a child who lives a hard life in his childhood, learning that one must be independent and frugal to face challenge, is bound to be strong. On parents' part, they can teach the child to help support the family. More can be done apart from food, hard work and bad conditions.Instead of being spoiled, children should eat bitter food to learn to be frugal, do hard work to learn to cherish, and be sent to somewhere tough to learn to be brave.读写任务8 随着电脑的普及，网上购物不再是什么新鲜的话题，请阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Many people believe that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday activities .
