5. Think and fill in. (Doctor Peter finds that some teenagers are picky eaters. He gave them
some advice on picky eating.)
Picky eating（挑食）is common among kids, but it affects（影响）children’s healthy growth.
In fact, picky eaters get sick easily. If you are a picky eater, try to follow the suggestions below to
fight against your bad eating h_______.
Try something new.
People are often very careful about new things including food. It’s nearly impossible for you
to accept a kind of new food on your first try. So, place the food in f_____ of you over and over
again. After several tries, you may find the food is not that terrible.
Prepare the food in a new way.
It really takes some time before you find the way that you like to cook a food. If the problem
has something to do with the taste of the food, t____ a new cooking way or a new sauce（调味汁）.
Have fun with your dishes.
You can help plan or prepare the dishes. By doing so, you will be happy to t_____ them. Or,
choose one day a week to try something new, whether it’s a new food or a new recipe（食谱）.
Do enough sports when you are free.
P_______ sports can help you use up what you eat and get hungry quickly. If you are hungry,
you may choose the food you don’t like.
Don’t rush time and take your time.
You can’t expect to change your picky eating habits in a short time. Keeping trying is the key.
If you take one bite （一口）, it’s great. Next time, try for two bites, then three bites. Behavior
change is h______for people, and it takes time.6. Draw and think. ( Doctor Peter also spread some knowledge about vegetarians. Read the
passage and draw a mind map (思维导图).)
While many people think of the vegetarian diet (素食) as one of the best ways to lose weight,
scientists point out that a vegan diet is more effective (有效的) for weight loss. A vegan diet is a
diet that avoids animal products. It is stricter than a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians give up eating meat,
while in a vegan type of diet, people give up not only meat, but all other animal products, including
milk and eggs.
People choose to follow a vegan diet for different reasons. Some people choose it for better
health. They believe that animal-based food, like red meat, is a main reason for many kinds of
health problems. Plant-based food, however, is usually low in calories and fat, and it might prevent
(预防) a few illnesses. Others pick up a vegan lifestyle because it’s better for the environment.
You may ask if this kind of diet can provide enough protein to keep the body healthy. Some
nutritionists (营养学家) explain plant proteins can give enough energy humans need in daily life.
Some of them even believe foods should be eaten without being cooked. In this way, helpful
nutrition can be kept better. That makes a vegan diet a healthier lifestyle. Nutritionists also state
that whichever diet one may follow, it’s important to make sure that it contains all the nutrition the
body needs. Still, understanding the effects of vegan diets on health remains challenging (挑战的),
because research on this eating style is often put together with vegetarian or plant-based diets.
Here is one example of the mind map.
Further thinking: Would you like to be a vegetarian（素食主义者）? Why or why not?
