More children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children were overweight, according to the National Health Commission （ NHC ） .

Being too fat is bad for children’s health. According to the World Health Organization （ WHO ） , overweight children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes （糖尿病） at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of earlier death.

On Oct 23rd, the NHC, together with five other national departments, worked out a plan. The plan aims to reduce the growth of fatness among children aged 0—18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported.

Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices （电子产品） could also be a cause.

According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical （躯体上的） activity. School students should have at least three hours of active physical activity each week.

Parents should reduce their children’s use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.

INTRODUCTION

It’s hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago. It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal （美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖） .

I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves: Would I have done that? What choice would I have made?

And ten-the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars —is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics （道德观 ; 价值观） . ...They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe.

So they follow a story about a ten-year-old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation, and she must make decisions. Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the woods, faces the danger, stands up to the enemy and wins her victory.

Today, the book has been published in many countries and translated into many languages. It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war. . . . Books do change lives, I know; and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young, that it made them think about both cruelty （残酷 ; 残忍） and courage. “It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated, ” wrote a young woman recently, telling me about her own fourth-grade experience with the book.

The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood, and who became the Annemarie in my book, is an old woman now. So am I. We both love thinking of the children reading the story today, coming to it for the first time and realizing that once, for a short time and in a small place, a group of prejudice-free （不存偏见的） people created a touching story of love and kindness towards others.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.

But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent ( 锲而不舍的 ) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

This is the famous formula ( 公式 ) for success:

Dream > Believe > Achieve

Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.

I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:

Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve

For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

1 ． What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?

A ． Ask people for help. B ． Try and keep trying.

C ． Get ready to create wonders. D ． Prepare for a harder one.

2 ． Which does the writer add to the famous formula?

A ． Act. B ． Achieve. C ． Connect. D ． Create.

3 ． What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?

A ． Dangers. B ． Imaginations. C ． Wonders. D ． Difficulties.

4 ． Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”?

A ． To support his idea. B ． To ask readers to explain it.

C ． To show what his goals are. D ． To compare it with a bridge.

5 ． Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A ． Doing Something Valuable B ． Studying Hard and Making Progress

C ． Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D ． Separating Successful People from Dreams

—Do you mind ________ the opening time of Shenzhen Library?

The colorful clothes we wear today are made by machines. But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful? Tie-dye （扎染） was a way to do this.

More than 1,000 years ago, the Bai people in Yunnan used tie-dye to dye their clothes. Then this skill became so popular that people gave tie-dye clothes to the emperor as gifts.

To tie-dye, you need to first use tools to tie, sew （缝制） , or clip （夹住） your cloth （布料） . The folded cloth is then put in dye. The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant.

As the cloth is folded, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you will see beautiful patterns.

In the 1960s, tie-dye became a fashion trend in the US. People tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans in imaginative ways. Many children in the US still learn tie-dye in their art classes.

At a recent famous fashion show, an Italian designer surprised people with tie-dye dresses, is like an experiment （实验） . People cannot imagine the patterns of the cloth if they don’t see them. It’s a surprise, the designer said. There is no doubt that the tie-dye trend has never really gone away.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（ T ）误（ F ）。

1 ． Tie-dye is a way to make clothes colorful.

2 ． To tie-dye, people put the unfolded cloth in dye.

3 ． The Bai people usually use a plant to make blue dye.

4 ． Tie-dye is no longer popular with common people.

5 ． When we tie-dye, we have no idea what the patterns look like until we see them.
