PAGE2 / NUMPAGES2 Unit1 Using language 能力提升练 一、阅读理解 A I do my best to educate my kids about eating healthy food. I teach them how to read labels, what to look for on packaging, and how certain foods affect their growing bodies. But my kids are also like most other children-they love junk food. My ten-year-old son Zack is very aware of his body and how food affects him. This past summer Zack was invited to a camping trip. He left on Friday and came home on Sunday morning. On Saturday night, Zack ate a lot of food... and junk food... and who knows what else. He went to bed at 11:00 and at around 1:30 a.m. Zack threw up in the tent. It was his body telling him that it didn’t like what he ate that day. Recently, Zack and I were asked to speak to an audience of more than 200 people. I spoke about Unjunk Your Junk Food and Zack spoke about his appreciation for our book and how it has impacted his life as a ten-year-old child. I asked Zack to write his own speech because I wanted what he said to come straight from his heart. Here’s his speech: Today I’m going to talk to you about my mom’s book, Unjunk Your Junk Food. It’s a great book, but I’m a little disappointed that my favorite type of candy is there, Twizzlers. I realized after reading the book that they’ re bad, so I don’t eat them anymore. I saw the movie Super Size Me and I realized that junk food, especially fast food, is really unhealthy, and I won’t ever go to McDonald’s. I brought my mom’s book to school, and my mom even gave presentations to many classes, including mine. Well you guys can do the same thing and show people the book at your work and schools, and give them tips on eating healthy food. Thanks for listening. While not all children have as much of a reaction to junk food as Zack, it’s clear that the human body doesn’t work as its prime（全盛时期）when we give it this type of food. It’s important to me that my children eat a healthy diet and limit their exposure to foods that aren’t good for them,
