Jamie Oliver, a lively British guy, loves to share his secrets. In his first television show, The Naked Chef, Oliver taught everyone to make simple but delicious food. In Jamie's Kitchen, he taught young people how to prepare meals. His next show, Jamie's School Dinners, is about changing the food that students eat.
Oliver saw that some schools in Britain were serving junk food — food that is easy to eat but unhealthy. Although it can be delicious, junk food is not very good for children. It is sometimes bad for their health, because it doesn't give them the energy they need at school. They sometimes can't think well or feel down, and they sometimes put on weight.
Some of the junk food that Oliver wants to change is canned spaghetti, chicken nuggets, French fries, soda, and muffins. He encourages schools to serve fresh and healthy meats, vegetables, and fruits. He helps the school cooks to make healthy dinners without junk food.
People liked Oliver's idea of bringing quality food to schools. Thousands enjoyed his television show. But Oliver wanted them to do more than just watch. At his Feed Me Better website, he collected over 270,000 signatures (签名) from people. Oliver sent these signatures to British Prime Minister (首相) Tony Blair. Then Blair
promised to help change the school kitchens, teach school cooks to make healthy food, and spend more on school dinners. Thanks to Jamie Oliver, my children will be able to enjoy more healthy meals at school. 21. What are Jamie Oliver's secrets about?
A. Cooking and eating. B. How to be a good cook. C. Exercising and sleeping. D. Where to buy healthy food.
22. Which of the following may Oliver like best? A. Muffins. B. Bananas. C. French fries. D. Chicken nuggets. 23. Why were over 270,000 signatures collected? A. To put healthy food in schools. B.

It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level. When to visit

A group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high-tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue (雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit. But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk (佛僧) inside it.
The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X-ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue's hidden secrets. The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters (字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liuquan and lived around the year 1100.
“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha,” said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum. “What flabbergasted me was that, on the inside, it
