Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2021·重庆璧山中学期末)It seems that school children all over the world complain about their school food. What do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries
Japan
High schools have dining rooms. They serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food.
The United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce(生菜) and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one third of the daily amount(总量) of necessary nutrition, such as, vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium(钙).
Australia
Meat pies, sausage rolls(香肠卷) and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to appear on school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red labeled(标注) foods, including cookies, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green labeled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelons, however, are available(可获得的) every day.
South Africa
Most of South African schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell best among students. As a result, it has caused a rise in obesity(肥胖) among children. But as more doctors began to realize that being too fat may cause different kinds of serious illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are offered lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbage, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

Ⅳ. Recently, our class had a heated discussion on how to save resources in our daily life. Here are some of my views.
First of all, we should never order more food than we can eat. Eat up everything in your plate and don't be particular about food. Besides, we are expected to save water and electricity. For example, turn off the light or water tap after using it. What's more, we are suggested to save every piece of paper and make full use of both sides of it. Last but not least, low carbon life is also a good choice, such as taking a bus or walking to school if possible.
In a word, everyone can do something to save resources and make a difference.
