一、阅读理解
I never saw my father come home from work late，nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”．He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house，my father，67 years old，spent eight hours a day for three days，painting my house.All he asked，was a glass of iced tea，and that I held a paintbrush for him and talked to him.But I was too busy，for I had a law practice to run，and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush，or talk to my father.
Five years ago，my 71 year old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千)for my daughter.Again，all he asked was that I got him a glass of iced tea，and talked to him.But again，I had laundry to do，and the house to clean.
On the morning of January 16th，1996，my father telephoned me as usual.This time he seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before.I had to get to church，and I cut the conversation in a short time.
The call came at 4：40 a．m.That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida.I got on a plane immediately，and I vowed that when I arrived，I would make up for the lost time and have a nice long talk with him.But my father had passed away when I arrived in Florida.
In the years since his death I have learned much about my father，and even more about myself.As a father，he never asked me for anything but my time.Now he has all my attention，every single day.

A study has predicted that over 50 million children will be overweight in China by 2025 if anything isn't done.____________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________
In China，the problem is becoming more and
more serious because most overweight children like eating fatty food and they hardly exercise.
How should we solve the problem Firstly, children must have healthy eating habits. They should eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat and junk food. Secondly, they should exercise often. It'll make them healthy and feel good. Finally, keep some good living habits such as getting up early and going to bed early.
In a word, healthy eating habits, proper exercise and good living habits can stop children from getting fatter.
