School Lunch
A) Ryan moved silently through the lunch lone．The cook put a cheeseburger(奶酪汉堡)and an apple-sauce cup on his tray．He grabbed a bottle of milk from the cooler at the end of the line and found a seat in the cafeteria(食堂)．Ryan saw that his friend Tyler had brought lunch from home．“What did you bring today，Tyler?”he asked．Tyler pulled his meal out of its brown paper sack．“I've got a ham sandwich，chips，two cupcakes，and a can of soda’’Ryan’s mouth started to water．“Uh，Tyler，”he said．“If you don’t want one of those cupcakes．I'll take it．They sure look good．”Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake．“Sure．”he said．“l won’t eat all this．”
Lunch Requirements
B) Is Ryan eating a healthy meal if he eats the school lunch? School lunch supporters say“Yes．”Recent studies show that a government approved school lunch has more variety and is more nutritious(有营养的) than most lunches brought from home．It's also lower in fat．The National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans developed by the government．Meals must contain a variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetable each day．Foods must not contain too much sugar or salt．A hot lunch can contain up to 30％fat，but not more than 10％of its calories(卡路里)should come from saturated(饱和的)fat．Inan average week，you should get one third of the daily Recommended Dietary Allowances for proreIn,iron，calcium(钙)，and vitamins A and C from your school lunch．
Dare to Compare
C) Let’s compare Ryan’s and Tyler’s meals to see which is healthier．Ryan’s hot lunch(without the cup-cake from his friend)has 577 calories，25 grams of total fat，and 12 grams of saturated fat．He had one serving of fruit，26 grams of protein，and 483 milligrams of calcium．Ryan ate more total fat(39％)and saturated fat(19％)than the dietary guidelines recommend．However，schools can still meet the guidelines by havmg the numbers average out over a week of lunches．
D) Tyler's lunch from home(this includes both cupcakes)had 1,014 calories，45 grams(40％)of  total fat，and 10 grams(9％)of saturated fat．He ate 21 grams of protein and 155 milligrams of calcium，but no flmits or vegetables．Tyler's meal met the saturated fat guidelines，but had too much total fat．Tyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan did．Ryan ate more protein，calcium，and fruit than Tyler did．Which meal would you say is the healthier choice?
A la Carte Options’
E) Federal standards and most school districts forbid selling food in the cafeteria that competes with the school lunch．Many programs do，however,offer a la carte choices for students who don’t want the hot meal．Foods sold h la carte are separate from the main meal and are priced individually．These foods do not have to meet the same nutritional standards as the foods on the hot lunch menu．Neither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or those foods available elsewhere in the school．
F) A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did not have food choices with those of fifth graders who could choose either a standard lunch or select from a snackbar．The fourth graders ate 25％more fruits and vegetables than the fifth graders．Food sold as fundraisers can also have an impact on school lunch．The money raised is important to provide needed funds for many after-class activities．But the meal’s over all nutritional quauty usually goes down．Many of these foods are high in fat，sugar，or both，and often come in extra-large portions．Fund-fairs rarely sell fruits and vegetables．
Choosing Wisely
G) School food-service programs are trying to please students，and still offer quality，nutritious meals at low cost．That task isn’t easy．One school district in New York decided to do something about it．A student advisory board kept the food-service director up-to-date on what the kids wanted．They also worked with school snack-bars to sell smaller servings of chips and candy．
H) You can make healthy meal choices at school even when not-so-healthy choices are available．You can be sure to get a nutritious meal when you pick foods from the Food Guide Pyramid．For example，always drink milk or a calcium-rich juice for lunch．Even chocolate milk is more nutritious than soda or a sports drink．Stay away from snack foods offered a la carte．They may fill you up now．but the ones that contain a lot of fat and sugar will slow you down later．Always eat the fruits and vegetables offered at the meal．They help give you the energy and vitamins you need to get you through the rest of your school day．Some people like to make fun of school lunches，but good nutrition is no laughing matter．Your school’s hot lunch is based on the Food Guide Pyramid，so it's full of nutrition．Give it a try．You might be pleasantly surprised．
It’s a Team Effort
I) Team Nutrition is a program that gets schools excited about healthy eating．Schools across the nation pick a team leader who develops fun nutrition activities．The leader works with students，teachers，parents，food-service workers，and people from the community．Activities can range from running a school health fair to planting a garden．At the Jordan Community School in Chicago，Illinois，one group of fifth graders showed off their  “pizza(比萨饼)garden”in a big，colorful poster showing vegetarian pizzas．The students and food-service staff planted and took care of the vegetables that they would later use as ingredients on their pizzas．The group started growing the plants in the school’s cafeteria．Then they moved them outdoors to the students’ demonstration garden．This is just one way to get everyone involved in making school lunch healthy and fun．
Team up with your own group and see how creative you can get．
Tyler's home-prepared meal meets the Dietary Guidelines for Americans in terms of saturated fat．

 I Cry, Therefore I Am
A) In 2008, at a German zoo, a gorilla (大猩猩) named Gana gave birth to a male infant, who died after three months． Photographs of Gana, looking stricken and inconsolable (伤心欲绝的), attracted crowds to the zoo． Sad as the scene was, the humans, not Gana, were the only ones crying． The notion that animals can weep has no scientific basis． Years of observations by biologists Dian Fossey, who observed gorillas, and Jane Goodall, who worked with chimpanzees (黑猩猩), could not prove that animals cry tears from emotion．
B)It's true that many animals shed tears, especially in response to pain． Tears protect the eye by keeping it moist． But crying as an expression of feeling is tmique to humans and has played an essential role in human evolution and the development of human cultures．
C)Within two days an infant can imitate sad and happy faces． If an infant does not cry out, it is unlikely to get the attention it needs to survive． Around 34 months, the relationship between the human infant and its environment takes on a more organized commtmicative role, and tearful crying begins to serve interpersonal purposes: the search for comfort and pacification (抚慰)． As we get older,  crying becomes a tool of social interaction:  grief and joy, shame and pride,  fear and
manipulation．
D)Tears are as universal as laughter, and grief is more complex than joy． But although we all cry, we do so in different ways．  Women cry more frequently and intensely than men,  especially when exposed to emotional events． Like crying, depression is, around the world, more commonly seen in women than in men． One explanation might be that women, who despite decades of social advances still suffer from economic inequality, discrimination (歧视) and even violence, might have more to cry about． Men not only cry for shorter periods than women, but they also are less inclined to explain their tears, usually shed them more quietly, and tend more frequently to apologize when they cry openly． Men, like women, report crying at the death of a loved one and in response to a moving religions experience． They are more likely than women to cry when their core identities--as providers and protectors, as fathers and fighters--are questioned．
E) People who score on personality tests as more sympathetic cry more than those who are more rigid or have more self-control． Frequency of crying varies widely: some shed tears at any novel or movie, others only a handful of times in their lives． Crying in response to stress and conflict in the home, or after emotional trauma (创伤), lasts much longer than tears induced by everyday sadness--which in turn last longer than tears of delight and joy．
F) Sadness is our primary association with crying, but the fact is that people report feeling happier after crying． Surveys estimate that 85% of women and 73% of men report feeling better after shedding tears． Surprisingly, crying is more commonly associated with minor forms of depression than with major depression involving suicidal thoughts．
G) People widely report that crying relieves tension, restores emotional balance and provides "catharsis," a washing out of bad feelings． The term  "catharsis" has religious implications of removing evil and sin; it's no surprise that religious ceremonies are, around the world, one of the main settings for the release of tears．
H) Crying is a nearly universal sign of grief, though some mourners report that, despite genuine sorrow, they cannot shed tears--sometimes even for years after their loved one has gone． Unlike today, when the privacy of grief is more respected, the public or ceremonial shedding of tears, at the graveside of a spouse or the funeral of a king or queen, was once considered socially or even politically essential．
I) Crying has also served other social purposes． Rousseau wrote in his Confessions that while he considered tears the most powerful expression of love, he also just liked to cry over nothing．
J) The association of tears with art has ancient roots． The classic Greek tragedies of the fifth century
 B．C． were primarily celebrations of gods． Tragedies, like poetry and music, were staged religions events． Even then it was recognized that crying in response to drama brought pleasure．
K) I have argued that there are neurobiological (神经生物方面的 ) associations linking the arts and mood disorders． When I lecture on crying, I ask my audience to let me know, by a show of hands, which art forms most move them to tears． About 80% say music, followed closely by novels (74%), but then the figures fall sharply, to 43%, for poetry, and 10-22% for paintings, sculpture and architecture．
L) The physical act of crying is mainly one of breathing in air, which is why we choke up when we weep． This suggests to language scientists that emotional crying evolved before language, perhaps explaining why tears communicate states of mind and feelings that are often so difficult to express in words． Of course, from an evolutionary perspective, recognition of emotion (usually through facial gesture) was essential for survival．
M) The earliest humans arrived sevetal million years ago, but only 150,000 to 200,000 years ago, did cultures, language, religion and the arts arise． Along the way, tears became more than a biological necessity to lubricate (润滑) the eye and developed into a sign of intense emotion and a signal of social bonding． The development of self-consciousness and the notion of individual identity, or ego; storytelling about the origins of the world, the creation of humanity and life after death; and the
ability to feel others' sadness--all were critical parts of the neurobiological changes that made us human
N) More recently, we've learned from neuroscience that certain brain circuits (回路) are activated (激活), rapidly and unconsciously, when we see another in emotional distress． In short, our brain evolved circuits to allow us to experience sympathy, which in turn made civilization, and an ethics based on sympathy, possible． So the next time you reach a tissue box, or sob on a friend's shoulder, or shed tears at the movies, stop and reflect on why we cry and what it means to cry． Becanse ultimately, while we love to cry, we also cry to love．
Nowadays people respect the privacy of grief more than in the past．


6、
Grow up Colored
[A] You wouldn't know Piedmont anymore―my Piedmont, I mean—the town in West Virginia where I learned to be a colored boy．
[B] The 1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember, or at least to me．People were always proud to be from Piedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain, on the banks of the mighty Potomac．We knew God gave America no more beautiful location．I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains and water, flowers and trees, fishing and hunting．For as long as anyone could remember, we could outhunt, outshoot, and outswim the white boys in the valley．
[C] The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of our hands．It was animmigrant town; white Piedmont was Italian and Irish, with a handful of wealthy WASPs (盎格鲁撒克逊裔的白人新教徒．on East Hampshire Street, and  "ethnic" neighborhoods of working-class peopleeverywhere else, colored and white．
[D] For as long as anyone can remember, Piedmont's character has been completely bound up with the Westvaco paper mill: its prosperous past and doubtful future．At first glance, the town is a typical dying mill center．Many once beautiful buildings stand empty, evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride．The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud, as they were when I was a kid．
[E] Like the Italians and the Irish, most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont at the turn of the 20th century to work at the paper mill, which opened in 1888．All the colored men at the paper mill worked on "the platform"—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated in 1968．Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life．That's what almost every colored grown-up I knew did．
[F] Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated．Welcome to the ColoredZone, a large stretched banner could have said．And it felt good in there, like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear, or snoring (打鼾．right out loud on the couch in front of the TV—enveloped by the comforts of home, the warmth of those you love．
[G] Of course, the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition of existence．And though our own world was seemingly self-contained, it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost every direction．Certainly, the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong, such as at the black Legion Hail．Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party．The rhythms would be off．The music would sound not quite right．Everybody would leave early．
[HI Before 1955, most white people were just shadowy presences in our world, vague figures of power like remote bosses at the mill or clerks at the bank．There were exceptions, of course, the white people who would come into our world in routine, everyday ways we all understood．Mr．Mail Man, Mr．Insurance Man, Mr．White-and-Chocolate Milk Man, Mr．Landlord Man, Mr．Police Man: we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mystery play．Mr．Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect payments on college or death policies, sometimes 50 cents or less．
[I]  "It's no disgrace to be colored," the black entertainer Bert Williams famously observed early in the century, "but it is awfully inconvenient．" For most of my childhood, we couldn't eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels, we couldn't use certain bathrooms or try on clothes in stores．Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop．She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores, and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat．"We'd like to try this on," she'd say carefully, uttering her words precisely and properly． "We don't buy clothes we can't try on," she'd say when they declined, and we'd walk out in Mama's dignified  (有尊严的) manner．She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was．
[J] At the Cut-Rate Drug Store, no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception: my father．I don't know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn't stop Daddy from sitting down．But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored, and in part because, during his shift at the phone company, he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators．Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter, get their food to go, and leave．Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories, the colored players had to stand around and drink out of paper cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses．
[K] I couldn't have been much older than five or six as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon, enjoying ice cream．Mr．Wilson, a stony-faced Irishman, walked by． "Hello, Mr．Wilson," my father said．
"Hello, George．"
[L] I was genuinely puzzled．Mr．Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else, but who? There weren't any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont． "Why don't you tell him your name, Daddy?" I asked loudly．"Your name isn't George．"
"He knows my name, boy," my father said after a long pause．"He calls all colored people George．"
[M] I knew we wouldn't talk about it again; even at that age, I was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn't do to worry to death about．Now that I have children, I realize that what distressed my father wasn't so much the Mr．Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn't quite learned them yet．Maybe Mr．Wilson couldn't hurt my father by calling him George; but I hurt him by asking to know why．
The author felt as a boy that his life in a separated neighborhood was casual and cozy．
