read a passage with ten statements attached to itEach statement contains information given in one of the paragraphsIdentify the paragraph from which the information is derivedYou may choose a paragraph more than onceEach paragraph is marked with a letterAnswer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2School LunchA) Ryan moved silently through the lunch loneThe cook put a cheeseburger(奶酪汉堡)and an apple-sauce cup on his trayHe grabbed a bottle of milk from the cooler at the end of the line and found a seat in the cafeteria(食堂)Ryan saw that his friend Tyler had brought lunch from home“What did you bring today，Tyler”he askedTyler pulled his meal out of its brown paper sack“I've got a ham sandwich，chips，two cupcakes，and a can of sodaRyans mouth started to water“Uh，Tyler，”he said“If you dont want one of those cupcakesI'll take itThey sure look good”Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake“Sure”he said“l wont eat all this”Lunch RequirementsB) Is Ryan eating a healthy meal if he eats the school lunch School lunch supporters say“Yes. ”Recent studies show that a government approved school lunch has more variety and is more nutritious(有养分的) than most lunches brought from homeIt's also lower in fatThe National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans developed by the governmentMeals must contain a variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetable each dayFoods must not contain too much sugar or saltA hot lunch can contain up to 30fat，but not more than 10of its calories(卡路里)should come from saturated(饱和的)fatInan average week，you should get one third of the daily Recommended Dietary Allowances for proreIn,iron，calcium(钙)，and vitamins A and C from your school lunchDare to CompareC) Lets compare Ryans and Tylers meals to see which is healthierRyans hot lunch(without the cup-cake from his friend)has 577 calories，25 grams of total fat，and 12 grams of saturated fatHe had one serving of fruit，26 grams of protein，and 483 milligrams of calciumRyan ate more total fat(39)and saturated fat(19)than the dietary guidelines recommendHowever，schools can still meet the guidelines by havmg the numbers average out over a week of lunchesD) Tyler's lunch from home(this includes both cupcakes)had 1,014 calories，45 grams(40)of total fat，and 10 grams(9)of saturated fatHe ate 21 grams of protein and 155 milligrams of calcium，but no flmits or vegetablesTyler's meal met the saturated fat guidelines，but had too much total fatTyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan didRyan ate more protein，calcium，and fruit than Tyler didWhich meal would you say is the healthier choiceA la Carte OptionsE) Federal standards and most school districts forbid selling food in the cafeteria that competes with the school lunchMany programs do，however,offer a la carte choices for students who dont want the hot mealFoods sold h la carte are separate from the main meal and are priced individuallyThese foods do not have to meet the same nutritional standards as the foods on the hot lunch menuNeither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or those foods available elsewhere in the schoolF) A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did not have food choices with those of fifth graders who could choose either a standard lunch or select from a snackbarThe fourth graders ate 25more fruits and vegetables than the fifth gradersFood sold as fundraisers can also have an impact on school lunchThe money raised is important to provide needed funds for many after-class activitiesBut the meals over all nutritional quauty usually goes downMany of these foods are high in fat，sugar，or both，and often come in extra-large portionsFund-fairs rarely sell fruits and vegetablesChoosing WiselyG) School food-service programs are trying to please students，and still offer quality，nutritious meals at low costThat task isnt easyOne school district in New York decided to do something about itA student advisory board kept the food-service director up-to-date on what the kids wantedThey also worked with school snack-bars to sell smaller servings of chips and candyH) You can make healthy meal choices at school even when not-so-healthy choices are availableYou can be sure to get a nutritious meal when you pick foods from the Food Guide PyramidFor example，always drink milk or a calcium-rich juice for lunchEven chocolate milk is more nutritious than soda or a sports drinkStay away from snack foods offered a la carteThey may fill you up nowbut the ones that contain a lot of fat and sugar will slow you down laterAlways eat the fruits and vegetables offered at the mealThey help give you the energy and vitamins you need to get you through the rest of your school daySome people like to make fun of school lunches，but good nutrition is no laughing matterYour schools hot lunch is based on the Food Guide Pyramid，so it's full of nutritionGive it a tryYou might be pleasantly surprisedIts a Team EffortI) Team Nutrition is a program that gets schools excited about healthy eatingSchools across the nation pick a team leader who develops fun nutrition activitiesThe leader works with students，teachers，parents，food-service workers，and people from the communityActivities can range
