1．The federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition（營養(yǎng)不良）.A breakfast program was added during the -1960s，and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school.
   More must be done to fight the childhood obesity epidemic（流行的），which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes，high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people.The place to start is schools，where junk food sold outside the federal meals program—through snack bars and vending machines—has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.
   Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years.Until new regulations are written，children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium（鈉） snacks elsewhere in school.
   Many states' school districts have taken positive steps，but others are likely to resist，especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities，and even copier expenses.
   Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice，milk，and water were very little.Even if the switch costs money，so be it.The school should not be trading their students' health to buy office supplies.
   Over the last 50 years，the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled.Unless there is decisive action，weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death.

3．School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more.I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning，and I never tried to get out of any work.I stayed after school every chance I got.I did most of the work I could，got the best grades I could，and in the end，I graduated from high school with honors.All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me，pushed me，and made learning a fun thing to do.
   At the beginning of the school year，I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings，but Mrs.Trainer always sat with me，talked with me，and helped me feel OK without my mom.She was understanding，kind，and always made the classroom a comfortable place.Mrs.Trainer also sat down and helped me learn；I was，and still am，the worst speller，but she tried her hardest to help me.
   The second was my senior high school English teacher，Mr.Stonerock.Mr.Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun，especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in.Some of my favorite high school memories （記憶）were in his classes.Mr.Stonerock also taught my class APA format （格式）which to me is invaluable.I use it every day in my life.He put up with so many shenanigans （惡作劇）from my classmates and me and always did it with as mile.
   My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes，high school level classes，or primary level classes.I have had more influential teachers than I can count.I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers，who give me life advice and guide me.Teachers are invaluable resources （資源）and no one can take their place.
