IV. Reading
Our eating habits are very important for good health. Sometimes we may like eating sweets and ice cream better than meat and ice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite（胃口）. It’s important for us to eat our meals at a regular time each day. Some children have the habit of having a snack between meals. Some may eat too many sweet things like chocolate or desserts. Sweet things are not good for you because they do not only take away your appetite, but also make you grow fat easily. So be careful with your food every day.
What about your eating habits? Are they healthy?
1. Our health depends on whether we eat or not.
2. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them before a meal.
3. It’s not important for us to eat our meals at a regular time every day.
4. Eating too many sweets is not good for children.
5. It is OK if you have some desserts after a meal.
It is true that we need some forms of recreation（娱乐）. If we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life, we can’t work all the time. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football. There are individual（个人的）sports, such as running and swimming. Fishing, skiing and hiking are also popular sports.
But not everyone likes to take part in sports. Many people prefer watching or listening. When there is an important boxing（拳击）match on, it is almost impossible to get tickets to see it live（现场直播）.
Chess, card playing and dancing are other forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people.
It’s important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some forms of recreation.
