Healthy Eating Plate
Use the Healthy Eating Plate as a guide for creating healthy, balanced meals—whether served at the table or packed in a lunch box.
Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet
The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits.
Healthy Eating Plate
Use healthy oils (like olive and canola oil) for cooking, on salad, and at the table. Limit butter. Avoid trans fat. 1. Drink water, tea, or coffee (with little or no sugar). Limit milk/dairy (1-2 servings/day) and juice (1 small glass/day). Avoid sugary drinks.
The more veggies - and the greater the variety - the better. Potatoes and French fries are excluded. Eat a variety of whole grains (like whole-wheat bread, whole-grain pasta, and brown rice). Limit refined grains (like white rice and white bread).
Eat plenty of fruits of all colors. Choose fish, poultry beans, and nuts; limit red meat and cheese; avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats.
These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating:
- The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others.
- It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet.
- It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Your Plate and the Planet
Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources.
21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned
A. Nuts added to a salad.
B. Brown rice with beans.
C. Steamed fish with vegetables.
D. Bacon served with white bread.
22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate
A. To count calories first.
B. To follow a low-fat diet.
C. To cut carbohydrate intake.
D. To focus on diet quality.
23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text
A. To explain how food policies are made.
B. To highlight the changes in dietary views.
C. To show that the Plate takes official advice.
D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption.
B
Zhang Xue is a key figure in China’s motorcycle industry. He founded ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand that made history in 2026 by winning two straight races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. His journey is a true underdog story.
Born in 1987 in a poor mountain village in Hunan Province, Zhang dropped out of school at 14 and worked as a repair shop apprentice (学徒). He learned engines by taking them apart with his own hands. At 19, eager to prove himself, he chased a TV crew’s car for over 100 kilometers through pouring rain on a broken motorcycle. The crew laughed at him, but his courage earned him a spot on TV. That led to a job as a rider and mechanic.
Realizing he started racing too late to become a champion rider, Zhang changed his goal, “If I cannot ride the fastest bike, I will build one.” In 2013, he arrived in Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan (about 2,900 USD), bought parts, and built his first bike. In 2017 he co-founded Kove Moto, which grew into a major brand. But in 2024, after parting ways with Kove, he started ZXMOTO — his own company, named after his name.
Zhang’s years of devotion to motorcycle engineering has finally borne fruit. In March 2026, French rider Valentin Debise rode the ZXMOTO 820RR-RS to two straight wins at WSBK, beating Ducati and Yamaha by nearly four seconds — the first ever race wins for a Chinese manufacturer. Watching from the sidelines, Zhang was moved to tears.
Today, ZXMOTO is valued at over one billion yuan. Zhang once said, “The world had no impression of Chinese motorcycles. Now they will remember us.” His story — from a motorcycle apprentice to a pioneer of Chinese motorsports — proves that passion and persistence can move mountains.
24. Why is Zhang’s childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To explain the origin of his career.
B. To highlight his poor life in childhood.
C. To show his early interest in engines.
D. To stress his disadvantage in education.
25. What was Zhang’s original goal
A. To set up a top motorbike brand.
B. To build the fastest motorbike.
C. To work as a motorbike apprentice.
D. To become a top motorbike rider.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Zhang’s devotion to his career.
B. The reward for Zhang’s efforts.
C. The performance of the motorbike.
D. Valentin’s performance in the race.
27. Which of the following is true of Zhang’s story
A. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
B. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Recently, China’s 315 Gala reported a new problem with AI chatbots. Some users who asked chatbots for advice on buying smart wristbands got a recommendation for a product called “Apollo 9.” However, this wristband does not actually exist.
The fake product was described with fancy but meaningless words like “black hole-level battery life” and “quantum-entanglement sensors (量子纠缠传感器).” These made-up marketing terms were put online on purpose so that AI chatbots would find them and include them in their answers. This is called “data poisoning.” In fact, users were seeing hidden advertisements without knowing it.
This problem is connected to a practice called Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO). GEO is a way to create content that is easy for AI to panies pay GEO firms to make their products appear more often in AI answers. For example, a boiler company paid for a GEO service. When people asked AI chatbots for boiler brand suggestions, this company’s name often came out on top. This is done by using AI to write many articles with keywords and posting them online.
Experts say that GEO itself is not against the law. However, it can be used in a bad way if it creates fake reviews or misleads users. Some experts think this kind of “stealth advertising” might break advertising laws because it does not look like an ad. Users may think the AI is giving them an honest, unbiased answer.
After the report, some have lost trust in AI chatbots. One user said she always checks AI information with official websites. She believes AI is a useful tool, but people can use it in good or bad ways.
28. What does “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The fact that users saw hidden ads
B. The practice called “data poisoning”
C. The made-up marketing term
D. The AI chatbot’s answer
29. What’s “Generative Engine Optimisation”
A. A new type of smart wristband.
B. A method to make AI chatbots answer faster.
C. A way to create content that is easy for AI to read.
D. A way to protect consumers from fake products.
30. What can we infer about the “Apollo 9” wristband
A. It was a real product that was very popular.
B. It was created by a company to test AI technology.
C. It was a fake product that influenced AI recommendations.
D. It was recommended because it had the best technology.
31. What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article
A. To teach people how to use GEO services.
B. To introduce a new AI chatbot in China.
C. To report on a problem with AI recommendations.
D. To advertise the “Apollo 9” wristband.
D
There are always two sides to a story. Unfortunately, when it comes to the history of Thanksgiving, generations of Americans have been taught a one-sided history in homes and schools.
The mainstream cultural and historical story has been told by the white settlers (殖民者) who landed near Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1620. In this version (版本) of the Thanksgiving story, the holiday celebrates the peaceful, friendly meeting of English settlers and the Wampanoag tribe (部落) for three days of feasting and thanksgiving in 1621.
This story paints a picture of courageous settlers braving the dangers of the New World and with the help of some friendly natives, finding a way to make a new life for themselves. Very few teachers get a chance to tell students about the mass killing of native tribes that took place in the years that followed.
For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning (哀悼) and protest. Organised by the United American Indians of New England in 1970, the fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving) was recognised as the National Day of Mourning for Native Americans.
While some Native Americans have chosen to reject the Thanksgiving holiday completely, many welcome the positive messages of the holiday without consideration of its origin. This is because the idea of giving thanks is central to Native Americans’ culture, and in this way, Thanksgiving is simply a chance to appreciate the good things of life, like family, community, and the riches of the land.
Steven Peters, a Wampanoag tribe spokesman, was asked about his views on Thanksgiving and the fact that most Native Americans still gather to eat turkey and give thanks.
“I think it’s great. My ancestors had four harvest festivals throughout the year. Gathering with family and giving thanks for all that we have is a good thing. But I ask that you take a moment on that day to remember what happened to my people and the history as it was and not what had been written in the history books.”
32. What can be learnt about the mainstream Thanksgiving story
A. It is a faithful reflection of the history.
B. It mourns the suffering of the natives.
C. It represents only one side of the story.
D. It is about the real origin of Thanksgiving.
33. What does the underlined word “reject” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Refuse. B. Reflect. C. Promote. D. Celebrate.
34. Why do many Native Americans celebrate Thanksgiving
A. They are misled by history books.
B. They have adapted to modern life.
C. The history has taught them to be grateful.
D. The idea of giving thanks fits their culture.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Storytelling: No More One-Sided Approach
B. Native Americans: Let the World Hear Our Voice
C. American History: Tears and Blood of the Natives
D. Thanksgiving: A Different Story to Native Americans

As a student of Chinese language and culture, I was introduced to many fascinating aspects of the country’s culinary (烹饪的) heritage. One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan Province. In 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish firsthand. __36__
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant and settling down, I felt anticipation that only a long-awaited experience can bring. __37__ Each ingredient was presented separately, allowing me to assemble my bowl according to my preference. The waiter placed a large bowl of hot broth (肉汤) in front of me, followed by thinly sliced meats, fresh vegetables, quail eggs, tofu skin, and herbs. Then, the most exciting part came: white, smooth, and silky rice noodles.
Following the traditional method, I first added the raw meat slices into the hot broth, watching them cook instantly. Then, I added the vegetables, tofu and eggs, letting them blend into the broth. __38__ As I lifted the noodles with my chopsticks, their delicate texture was evident—soft, yet firm enough to hold their shape.
__39__ The broth, made from slow-simmered chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh ingredients created a balance of textures—tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together harmoniously.
Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed (再次确定) the deep bond between food and culture. This dish, with its rich broth, silky noodles, and heartwarming service, is a representation of the beauty of Chinese cuisine. __40__
A. The first bite was an explosion of flavors.
B. The dish was served in a traditional manner.
C. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
D. While studying in Beijing, I often heard about the dish.
E. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl.
F. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt.
G. And now, it holds a special place in my personal journey as well.

Imperfection(不完美) can be a gift
We all want to do things well and for things to turn out right. However, growing up also involves accepting when things go wrong. In fact, messing up can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful outcomes.
Aiming for results, whether that’s getting good school grades, shining in sport or acing an art project, can help you focus on your goals. However, it’s just as important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on things turning out exactly as you think they should can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to anxiety. That’s why it’s good to leave some room for errors and imperfections. Then if things don’t go as planned, it’s not a big deal and you may learn something new.
Dr Vara is a psychologist（心理学家） who helps people take care of their mental health. She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr Vara. “Otherwise, we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead to us putting off difficult things or avoiding trying new things.” It’s important to realise that making mistakes is common, which shows that it is impossible to be perfect and failure is normal.
Learning from your mistakes is an essential part of growing up. The most important thing is how you respond and what you choose to do next. Try not to take it too seriously, blame yourself or feel too disappointed or upset. Dr Vara explains, “Remember that you’re not a bad person for getting things wrong——you’re human. It might feel uncomfortable for a bit, then these feelings will pass and then you’ll bounce back.”
Instead, think about what you might do differently next time. This has been proven to work. In one study, students who were reminded to forgive and be kind to themselves when they failed a test felt more motivated to try again.

第一节应用文范文
Dear judges and classmates,
I’m glad to deliver a speech on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the festival honors Qu Yuan, a loyal ancient poet. We celebrate it by eating zongzi and holding exciting dragon boat races.
The festival passes down traditional virtues and strengthens our cultural confidence.
第二节概要范文
Though people desire perfect results, imperfection and mistakes are unavoidable in growth. Fixating on perfect outcomes causes pressure and anxiety. Psychologist Dr Vara states mistakes strengthen us and avoiding errors stops new attempts. Instead of feeling upset about failures, we should learn lessons and adjust ourselves, which helps us regain motivation.
